First time I post pics so let’s hope this works.
The wife wanted the tiles on the #%&$% angle. Of course what the wife wants the wife gets if you know whats good for you. Looks good but lots of work.

Looks like a nice job on the tile.
What IS it with women and angles? Seems like they're really hung up on that, and I have no idea why.
Forty-two percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Yeah, well, we're not gonna tell you either...just keep on grouting.You can choose to be part of the solution, or part of the problem. Or like me, you can be an overachiever, and do both.
Could be worse- my goal is to have everything curved. (Intentionally, that is....)
Tile looks very nice, Weekendwarrior!
...up north attitude...
You gotta let us see the end results. I would like to see a tiled curved wall. Once again don't let the wives see this thread, or we are all doomed.

No tile on those walls...and I am the wife. :^)
This site is responsible for nearly every upgrade in framing, roofing, siding, hvac, etc in the house...It's true, you do need to keep the wife away!

That's sick, Cami. Really sick.
Angles are bad enough. now we gotta do curves?
Maybe there's some poetic justice there. You know: Women..............curves???
Banning the bra was a big flop.
You know, that's what DH says when ever I find something else (like the steps and the breakfast bar and the doorways and the sidewalk...) that can be curved.
And don't tell me that tag line came up at random....ROTF!
...up north attitude...
Actually, the tag lines I use DO come up at random.
But sometimes I skip one for a while until it fits the posting. That was the case with the "flop" tag line.
Just bouncing along, looking for another tag line......
Wow! Who are the fellas that will do the flooring? Will it be carpet, hardwood, or tile? Need some ideas on some more curves?... I have a few in this gallery...

Ken, if I show DH those medallions, I will get the same speech I got when I showed him Stan Foster's and Armin's curved staircases.
The short version of the speech: "Everything you add means that much longer before we can move in..."
There will be a tiled curved walkway that will abut cork flooring and either carpet or hardwood, depending on what's left of the budget. The "fellas" doing the flooring will be the same guy (and gal) doing the rest of the house. ;^)
Now Weekendwarrior, how about that pic of the ladder towel rack? Inquiring minds want to know....

Tha angle of the .... ahhh, never mind - family site {G}
Bob , you beat me to it . Boss , Dangle.
Nice tile job, especially the floor. Just don't let my wife see it.
I will post a new pic with the "ladder" style towel rack. "Martha" lives with me.
Very nice, looks like that tile installation was a real pain. Are those the celebration wine bottles on the shelves?
Heres a pix of the bathroom I did in my house....green marble etc etc.....what a job....its a huge bathroom so I had to tape together two pictures to get most of it in.
Hey Weekend.....real nice work..a high five to ya and a Corona witha lime shoved in the bottle for ya
Be well
Namaste

Hey andybuildz, nice work. The wife likes your floor with the marble edge.
To all, I need to get my brothers digital camera (haven't got the money to buy one after the bathroom) and upload the pics. I am hoping tomorrow (tuesday).
I just spent the weekend in Toronto putting in a flagstone patio for a friend (10'x12') talk about your %$&^*$ angles. The wife says "At least we couldn't aske for it on the angle.
Will post tomorrow see yal.

Took a few tries for me to be able to see the pic, but I really like the towel rack. I'm assuming that was another project that you got elected to do! Nicely co-ordinated towels- are you allowed to use them? Tub surround looks great, too.
(Try flipping and resizing your photos with Irfanview- it's free and really easy to use- simpler than turning your moniter on it's side.. ;^)
...get an up-north attitude...
Thanks. Will try the software. This was a borrowed camera and software.
I didn't have time to really play with it as I work the midnight shift for Air Canada and had to leave for work. As my nick name says "weekendwarrior"
Now the rack was a "martha S" invention of my wife's. The shutters are woven oak strips that my Dad and I have done a few times. We rip a 3/4" board as thin as possible and weave them together, and hope they don't break. Then placed into the frames.
The window was enlarged and the shutters needed so as to not give the back neighbour's boys a sex education lesson every time we get out of the bath.
All in all well worth the trouble.
All my quotes come from a set of books called "John's bathroom reader". Lots of quotes as well as other "Cliff Claven" type facts. Agood read while enjoying the bathroom.
