GOD DAMN YOU FOUR TILES

photo-6

The accent tile has got to be completely dry before I can put a tile above it, or it crushes the mesh and shoves them together.  

The accent tile is not dry.  It’ll take another hour before I’m comfortable.

My mortar is not going to last another hour, and I’m out of mortar.  As it is 8 PM on a Sunday, I cannot acquire more mortar at this time.

Which means it’s going to take ANOTHER GODDAMN DAY TO GET MY TILE DONE.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHHHHHH.

(There’s a weird optical illusion on the left side of the image, where it looks like some of the tiles are either totally the wrong size or cut in weird places.  Not the case.  it’s the reflection of the grout lines on the tile on the side facing the shower faucet.)

Terrible Decisions: Well, That Wasn’t So Hard

We made waaaaay too much mortar:

But! Seams are mortared and taped and the one piece of cement board that looked a trifle crooked in one corner is fixed. Next step: Redgard!

Terrible Decisions: the rebeginninging

Gonna spend the day smearing mortar on stuff.

Take bets in comments on how bad I’mma screw this up.

Pictures later, probably of a bathroom on fire.
