And now for something completely different – it’s not about hiking or cars!<\/p>\n

I’ve been wanting to have the tile redone in my shower for quite a while. I finally pulled the trigger.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Before<\/p><\/div>\n

The house was built in 1973 and I’m pretty sure this shower is original. The valve is shot and there’s been a constant slow drip for several weeks now, making it impossible to keep clean.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Demolition<\/p><\/div>\n

Two guys did the demolition. They laid out a giant strip of adhesive tape up the stairs, through the bedroom, into the water closet. Pretty clever stuff, except that it prevented me from closing the bedroom door. At night, I had to pull it back, lay it sticky side up and be careful not to step on it. Then lay it back down in the morning.<\/p>\n

It’s impossible to get a decent photo, the room is so small. During the demolition it pretty much looked like a bomb went off. Even though they tented everything off, dust was everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Demo complete<\/p><\/div>\n

They poked a hole through the drywall into the other bathroom, and the plaster popped off of some nail heads on the opposite wall, so they had to do some drywall repairs and texturing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Making the new pan<\/p><\/div>\n

The pan was laid in three layers, with curing time between. Then he laid the floor tiles (sliced stones on a square foot of mesh) and that had to cure before he could stand on it to do the walls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Floor done<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

After<\/p><\/div>\n

The walls are tile – a weathered wood look that’s made with an ink-jet process. Each piece is unique. There are even knots. I think it looks good with the pebble floor.<\/p>\n

Now I have some painting to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
