Cement board screwed tight


There's lots of detail in the shower: a glass block window to the tub area, a window with ledge to the outdoors, a niche, and the shower entry, to say nothing of the shower head and faucet arrangement. These complications led to an afternoon of details, but it is all set to go tomorrow, when tiles will go on this sturdy gray half-inch wonder board. The interior shower layout is a simple bond pattern of 12x12 tiles. There's enough going on in there without adding a bunch of geegaws and ornamentation. The floor will feature a border of matching 6x6 tiles, surrounding a mat of 2x2 tiles sloping into the drain.
It should all come together tomorrow. The men are heading home to south Tucson for a few hours rest and plan to at least drive by a church tomorrow morning.
