Where there isn't Kerdi I use a board. Inside the shower I stack tile in each corner to the appropriatte height, set a ledger board on top of that and shim it to the correct height.

I set a...

My preference is to do the walls first. I find the lowest spot in the floor along thew all and snap a level line around the room 1 tile height above that point. I leave out the bottom row, set...

I'm not a licensed contractor. Doesn't mean I don't do outstanding work.

last pic, the finished shower

The dovetail joint drawers were done with the MLCS pins & tails dovetail jig (a pain to use). The Mexican sand Kohler sink w/ Delta venetian bronze faucet.

I ran out of Keracolor-s sanded biscuit...

left over ceramic from the shower was used for the counter / vanity tops.

99% done. Here are the most recent photos

I made the cabinets with the MLCS 5 piece cabinet router set.

When sealing the grout do you just sponge the stuff on? Do I need to keep it off the tiles or clean it off shortly thereafter or is it ok to let it dry on the tiles?

started on the wall cabinets...

I'd like to point out the folly of the second paragraph.... Money well spent.... grrrr.

The shower is 5' x 32" not including the threshold.

and yes love that warm floor. The rest of the basement is getting the carpet taken out and heated ceramic put in.

Not sure of the brand but I got it at Lowes. It is open through to the flood bulb. There is a ring of metal about 1 1/2" below the ceiling w/ a ribbon of "marbled" plastic difusing the light...

Nice roomy closet is a boost to our meager storage space and keeps the fuse panel and water main out of site.

Two 27"w x 30"h cabinets and end display shelf over the top of the washer/dryer.

A lonely toilet looking for a 36" oak vanity to keep it company.

It's been awhile.

Heres where it's at.

The grout is not white, that's a product of the flash. The grout is keracolor biscuit and is just slightly lighter shade then the macademia tiles in the...

There was definately not enough kerdi band to do the central seam in the shower. Kerdi band and corners were used in the corners.

The heated floor wire is laid in a solid mortar bed just over...

First row set and level. Will lay the rest (except the floor and bottom row) tomorrow.

Tile is American Olean Villano series.

Floor dark chocolate (vl04)

Worlds slowest remodeller.. I work in spurts.

Spending alot of money to go out to Arizona and watch the Cardinals kick but this year so $$$ has been limited.

I decided to skp a tub and put...

I am putting a 30" x 60" mud/tile shower in my basement. Where can I get glass / glass door for the shower (not the cheap aluminum rail lowes type stuff).

I'm hoping for something frameless...

I wouldn't turn something that small into insurance. They hold that against you and may drop you when you have to file a real claim. Further, if I were to buy a house the first thing I would do is...

Acetone will eat plastic. I don't know about the finish on a fiberglass tub but I would be hesitant to use acetone.

After getting the drip off you might try using a car buffing wheel and some rubbing compound to smooth the finish if it is marred. I had alot of success with this when I had to remove a very shallow...
