A Day of Progress

Wow, I totally should have bought those knees pads at the store next to all of the tile supplies.... After 8 hours of tiling, the knees could have used them.

I started at 8:30 this morning with a goal to make as much progress as possible on the shower walls. I started with one row remaining on the back wall. Below is my time lapse for the day:

By 10:30 I had a good jump on the second wall.

By 1:30 I was getting close to two walls done.

At 2:30 I finished wall number 2!

I hammered out another 3 hours downstairs and managed to get a great jump on the final wall.

I hope to spend a few hours Monday or Tuesday night and finish the third wall. Then it's on to the shower floor. I am very happy with the progress so far and I am actually impressed that I have not messed up too bad yet!! Live, learn, and Read the Home Depot Tiling Book!

Let the Wall Begin

After I finished the curb this weekend I was ready to start the walls. I started with the rounded edging tiles. The the past two nights I started conquering the back wall. So far, so good! Hope to wrap on that wall tomorrow and start on the other two walls this weekend. Should see some good progress this weekend.

More tiling....

I spent another couple hours downstairs last night. I was able to start the shower walls. I bought a nice cornered tile to do the edge of my shower. I was able to get the laid out on each side of the shower last night. Tonight is the fun task of laying out the back of the shower wall on the carpet. I want to make sure I know exactly what I am doing before I start throwing tile on the wall. Should be a fun process. Check back for more photos and updates later this week.
