I didn't ask for anything. Get unsolicited stuff everyday. Some develop into clients, most don't. The screws were the last job Evan, LOL. Think they will be part of it in one coming up on metal studs too.

Cannot stress enough the importance of hiring the right contractor
I got a call to look at a leaky shower in Fair View Park Ohio. I was thinking it was the typical pan leaking from nailing or screwing into the liner. I was amazed at what I had found. It was actually a tub and surround combo. BUT when the contractor installed the glass block window, he didnt put any type of water proofing around the opening. Every time it rained the water would run into the house behind the siding and down in the basement. The outside studs were nothing more than wet sticks. The plywood was just soaked mud. I had to remove everything and start from scratch. New studs, tied into the steal beams, remove old glass block, frame it in, water proof and install new ones. To say it was a mess is an understatement. But in the end. The job turned out very nice, and they will never have the leaking problems with this room anymore.

Nice work Scott.
Makes you wonder what the total cost would have been to do it right the first time.

I've found that when a customer doesn't tell you who did the install, it was usually them or a relative/friend and they're too embarrased to say. Lol
Wow, big floor tiles for such a small space.
Excellent work!

Just got home from a new customer - The glass backsplash was installed from start to finish in 6 hours; Acrylpro mastic with watered down grout.
Got a gaping hole ? fill it with more mastic.
The homeowner will be doing the demo. I told him to time it. My bet is on 45 minutes if it takes that long.
My eyes hurt from looking at it. I'd post a larger picture but y'all would have nightmares.
EDIT - Customer reported actual demo time of 29 minutes back to original drywall.

That installer is in real big trouble.
He's going to bring back whole milk and white bread when his wife gave him a list that said something different!

I guess the mastic on the back of the stone was the waterproofing and backer combined. $800K+ house. A complete master shower failure.
