Boy, I'm behind on these posts again - argh!! This post is actually for June 7th - the 11th day of summer - wow! I'm even confusing myself here!! Today I worked on an ongoing project in the basement - tiling around the shower! Here are some pictures to let you see the progress...PLEASE don't look at my mess-I am a messy DIYourself-er!! My mom always says, "boy you sure get into your work!" ha
So, the entire basement finishing project will be in my "home projects" tab some day when I get the pictures organized. I wanted something to jazz up the shower a little and decided to put blue glass tiles around it. I've tiled before (nothing like this, though) so I thought it wouldn't be a bit deal - I could do it....here is the before (Oh, and I'm not sure I'm in love with the blue I chose for the walls...may have to change that - I wanted something a little lighter).
BEFORE....
Here we are, just a regular shower. I've taped up some plastic to protect the shower as I worked...as you can see the ceiling over the shower has not been put in yet....
Here I am - tiling away! At this point I was SUPER pleased with the progress I was making AND the look of the tile -YAY
Look at me go!! I could do this for a living, right?
At this point I'm getting tired and for some reason I had a much more difficult time with the back here - I realized that the "wall" there is not square...argh...I didn't want to cut tile!
And.....This is when I fell! Yep, I went to step off the ladder, hit the kick plate of the shower and slid off of it and down I go-with the ladder. I decided now was the time to take a break and quit.
Stay tuned for the finished project....if I ever decide to trust that dang-dong ladder again!! OUCH!!
Summer = Household PROJECTS! : )
