Tiling the Shower


I was well aware that tiling the shower would be an epic endeavor, possibly the hardest project I have slated for my house. It did not disappoint in its epicness. It took Jeff and I 14 hours straight one day and I am glad to say we came out of it with our relationship intact.



First wall of the shower. I'm thinking everything is going really well. It wasn't. It turns out that when you are tiling it's really hard to go back and correct mistakes.



2nd wall. I'm getting pretty excited at this point.



Complete.



In conclusion, there are some pretty obvious flaws, but I think we did really well for first-timers. I can definitely see why people usually hire people for this sort of thing, but I probably saved a couple thousand dollars.

I also found out that my tub wasn't quite as white as I thought it was. Oh well, it's staying! Now we have to grout and seal and maybe one day soon I will be able to shower!
