My latest master shower project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sleepertruck72 · 07-31-2010, 12:55 AM

Attachment 616090I tend to tell long stories, so I will just say this is my latest project for some customers of mine. They bought a house with a one piece fiberglass tub that was cracked about 8 inches long next to the drain so I tore it out and have been slowly working on it as time permits... some of these pics are cell phone pics

I presloped the floor for the shower pan..

I replaced the shower valve..

and the shower head had to go up about 16"

sleepertruck72 · 07-31-2010, 01:02 AM

New shower pan, sheet rocked and almost ready for mud

sleepertruck72 · 07-31-2010, 01:03 AM

Paper and wire, now ready for mud !

sleepertruck72 · 07-31-2010, 01:05 AM

Played with some mud all by myself, and had alot of fun

sleepertruck72 · 07-31-2010, 01:18 AM

A little corner bench added for comfort... I built it with cinder block, and then mudded it nice and plumb on the face and sloped in towards the shower slightly...
The gravel my son and I gathered up is to prevent the weep holes in the upper portion of the 2 pc drain from clogging...

sleepertruck72 · 07-31-2010, 01:23 AM

Mudded the top of the bench, and the shower pan... again all by myself and alot of fun

Ready to "rack" the walls finally !

sleepertruck72 · 07-31-2010, 01:25 AM

Started the walls high enough to get around the bench... I forgot my camera today but I did manage to get the walls up to above the shower valve, where I put in some glass tile border about 3" high. Then it will have a 12x12 sheet of the same glass tile set diagonally inside the 4 rows of 6x6 tile, with another band of the 3" glass tile... I will be updating in about 1 week when I get back to that project...

Thanks !

Believe me guys, everyone that has seen this shower has really liked it and to be honest, I really dont want to do it all over again

However, I am willing to travel and I cant say no

sleepertruck72 · 08-23-2010, 01:15 AM

As much as I didnt want to work today, I went to the swap meet this morning and then I got the top section set, and the bench face with the mosaic...

After all this work on a Sunday, only one of these cold hand grenades will relax me

sleepertruck72 · 08-23-2010, 01:18 AM

Bench face....

sleepertruck72 · 08-26-2010, 09:44 PM

More pics I got it all set the other day, and forgot my camera. I went back to grout it today but no grout was there for me

I got it ready hopefully the homeowners picked up the grout tonight

JohnC · 08-27-2010, 10:36 AM

Looks awesome man! Nice work.

Got it grouted yesterday evening

With Antique White sanded grout. It looks darker than it will be because it is still wet in the pictures.
