...in the details

and this tile job is FULL of details...



from mitered corners...to radius bullnose quarter rounds...



any way you look at it...a work of art...



but then, as he's putting up tile on the "edge" of the shower...



we realize that the wall actually slopes in...just a bit....
[if you look at the far wall tile seam...you can see how far "off" it is...
from the dark corner in the foreground...to the right...
below the frame of this shot, the edge of the wall was even with the seam...]

but not to worry...
the Wiz can "feather the edge tiles"...
so it won't be noticed...



on a happier note... it seems that the shower dam...
was made "just the right size"...by total accident...
for the out of the box black 3 x 6" tiles...
that we have a bunch of extras of...
so that's not only "easy"... but saves the white 3 x 6"ers...
that we don't have a bunch of extras of...

and it gets better...



R just discovered that with no "planning" on his part...
the sheets of 2"hex for the floor...
that I have just barely enough of...
and are now impossible to get as they were discontinued...

fit perfectly in the shower floor...
"as if they had been measured & planned for beforehand..."

hmmmmmm...

they say, "God is in the details..."

and He has certainly made Himself known here today...

R plans to finish the shower today [including the floor]...
then he had planned to do the main floor...
but that would have meant that I had NO toilet tonight...
[NOT a viable option for me at this point...]

so after some discussion, we decided...
that since I was going to be gone all day Wednesday...
[which means NO ONE would be working or walking on it...]
he would pull up the toilet first thing tomorrow...
& use "quick set" mud for the main floor...
which will set up in a couple of hours...
so that I could have a usable toilet Tuesday night...

he can also put down some plywood pieces over the floor...
so my walking on it Tuesday night/Weds. morning...
won't shift it & mess it up...

the floor tiles are in sheets...which is a help...
but they will have seams...
and there will be "cuts" around the toilet...
and to fill in the edges...

so walking on it until it cures is NOT a good idea...

but again... more details...

and I'm leaving those to the Master Designer...
