3 days of grace
35 hours of work
300 miles of driving
thousands of beads of sweat wiped from brow
-----------------
to remove old shower and
then some framing to gain 1 inch extra room
have termite guys out "for a look"
new trap drain in floor
concrete patch
mix 50 lbs of mortar to level shower pan
Solder in new shower valve, NO leaks
insulate water pipes
hang wonderboard, glued and screwed
set 60 square feet of tile - with an interesting design
23 feet of trim
4 hours of grouting the joints
one almost complete glass door (Grrrrrrrrr!)
all worth it? You bet!
I was too tired to take a picture
so trust me
My friend gets one brand new tiled shower - priceless!

Here from Michele's
you can stay sane- IF you do this all fast and it's very familiar work - and if your charge a fair price for your work. ( yes this was a paying job)
I cant do the "will work for food" thing anymore, I lost my cardboard sign.
Love your words. Blessings!!!
Oh, I want to get rid of the bathtub and leave only a shower...but I am afraid of those workers coming in...
Here via Michele's this time. Come again, I love your comments!!!
