Jeff,
I took down as much as I could before I sealed
but your right easy to cleft them after they're set.

just finishing up here
firstly, great work everyone--
This was a real challenge . . . lots of kerdiboard, wedi, mud, you name it.
Went a little stir crazy during the install -- those mosaics can mess with your
mind.
The last couple pics are for paul -- he asked what treatment for the xyz axis
on the oceanside V cap -- I laminated two 45's to beaks then ground and polished the 3 edges to match the curve of the existing v cap -- coulda used a lap polisher, but my hand polisher did the job -- although my right thumb is
little smoother if you know what I mean.
enjoy
