Shower ceiling- Zen Paradise mosaics from Santa Barbara, CA. Dry lay sheets for tightest fit, numbered and arrowed for direction.



Green tape for center of light hole, as said in "tricks of the trade" thread, remember it's position is upside down!


One sheet just wouldn't fit in well, remove corner pieces and rebuild.





more in next post.....

After cutting out full stones for light hole, this sheet was pretty floppy, so I made a piece of cardboard to hold it for installation...


All in-

So I removed it-


With these-


Where'd it go?

That's why I had to go on vacation, to get the neck rested up so I can grout it.
I can't wait-

Are you going to piece in cuts around the can, or is the ring big enough to cover, or...


make Jason grout it with Spectralock since he's so damn good at it.

Pooky- I need to see a close up of that "ordinary" drain in the last photo.

"Ordinary?" "Surely you jest!" "O.k., I'm kidding just don't call me Shirley."

Gueuze,
Keep an eye open for the new improved SpectraLOCK. They've fixed the sagging issue. I think it's in field trials soon. I hope it hits the shelves before Christmas.
