Your Works In Progress Or Finished Pics

my last project, nothing special. there's story to it. after we demo'd the bath, I found several leaks in the walls - old galvanized pipes were completely corroded. The owner is sweet older lady, I recommended to re coper. My plumber was busy, I found a guy - his price was right, was willing to start right away. He and his helper knocked it in one day (two story house, 2 baths). The lady was happy, me to - could go ahead with the project. 3 days later, lady called me upset and crying - all her diamonds were gone. I couldn't believe it. She said she'll report it. I called the plumber, he was upset more than her. Bad dream. 2 days later, she found them. She put them in th "special" box..... I guess she felt bead - now we're doing second bathroom, painting whole house, installing baseboards, doors, trims.......

Wow gotta be sure before you go acusin'

My mom is starting to lose/misplace/forget things more and more, always blaming it on someone else.....the only thing she's losing is her mind.

Lati- nice as usual. Like the shower curb, you've done that before with the 3/4" travertine patio block. Great look.

Bummer you had to put the new plumber thru the stress, but great that the stones were "found".

finished wall & grouted them all...
putting down the NAC self-adhering crack isolation membrane and then tiling tomorrow.

[Chad Deiter Company]

Is that stuff self-stick down Brian ?

[gueuzeman]

No, Chad. That part of the name that says "self adhering" is just for fun.

[Chad Deiter Company]

I guess I meant is there a primer or anything . Good one Gueazy ..

[java]

gueuze, self adhering could mean it sticks to itself?

[ceramictec]

Chad,

you use a sticky primer on the floor first, but the membrane itself is pretty tacky.
Together you cant peel them off the slab.

thank guys,
Gueze, you have sharp eye....
I use travertine all the time on the curbs. 1 costs me $8, bullnose 3 x 6" was the same price - I'd needed 32 pcs for that job..... It takes me 30 min with the travertine, 3 hours with bulnosses. No grout lines on the top, customers love it.
It was definitely pleasuring to call a guy and tell him: "great job, btw, didn't you guy take by accidents some diamonds"......

Brian, how big a crew do you have now ?

still making me feel REALLY slow - here is my current gig -

surround with glass band and framed mosaic with slate pencil rail trim - 1/3 brick bond - this one is getting the best of me!!!

[The Kid]

Tim, nice work! it looks like your off to a real good start. I really like the 1/3rd bond look, that your idea or the owner.

[ceramictec]

Tim, looks good.

I have 2 guys that help me on my commercial jobs.
I like doing the residential smaller jobs myself with a helper or the mechanic.

we set and grouted the floors today.
