Wow. Lots of time spent on the tile saw. What sealer will you use?

Hey man, nice work, you did a great job! I did something similar in my master bath...I am guessing you're a tile professional, I am not but it came out pretty good for a newbie, at least I think so.

here is before...




Here is after...

Thanks, I didn't have the courage to try and make a tub like Burke did, plus it took me 2 years. Kinda lost my motivation, to I would hit is every now and then. Plus, since I'm an amateur I had to come up with ways to overcome some of the challenges that I ran into, but it was a great learning experience, not sure if I'll do another tile project though.

Burke,
Unfortunately your pick won’t open up for me. L

Roadie,
Awesome work. I like the vanity. I would like to tile my master bathroom also. I don’t know if I have the courage to do it myself though. One of my Nephews does tile work so I will have to see if he can come over and do it for me. First I have to get the money to do it.
I’ve only lived in my 4 bedroom 2 bath house just shy of 2 years. I’ve already had all of the windows and front door replaced. That was a 16k job. I remolded all 4 closets in the bedrooms, and built 2 storage cabinets and a workbench in the garage. Redid the shelves in the laundry room. I did that myself. I painted 3 of the 4 bedrooms and one of the bathrooms.
I have so many things I want to do to my house but lack of money is a big issue. I need to replace all of the carpets and flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms. I want to replace all the doors with solid core raised panel. Replace all the door knobs and possibly all the hinges to match the new knobs. I want to texture and paint the garage and the cabinets I made. Replace the 6 ceiling fans with ones that fit my “style”. Plus add a ceiling fan to the kitchen.

When I was taking pictures of my house to show my Mom my cats followed me everywhere I went. They are in almost every picture I took. J

Burke, I love the curvature of the tub. Great going!

Seems a little dark in there though. Some recessed lighting near the tub would brighten it up.
