Week 3 - got fed up with days...

Still pootling along. Now the studs are all up, the backerboards are going in, ready for us to position and test the actual shower tray...

Still doing lots of stuff with wood, preparing for the tray to sit on. Extra panels to take various attachment points and the shower seat for when we get old and wrinkly. Dry fit of the shower tray had the drain pretty spot on for location, which led to a wet test, which was passed successfully (see video).

We've changed from a concrete bed to a fix and foam one, hence the bricks filling out the voids in the framework. Laying the tray down was potentially the hairiest moment of the weekend. Long story short, we had two cans of fix and foam loaded and ready to go, with the shower tray placed vertically against the far wall. As Dave started to squirt fix'n'foam everywhere I realised I needed to find somewhere to put my feet which wouldn't  involve them being part of the permanent fixture...
Safe to say, I tiptoed myself to safety but we realised that 2 cans weren't going to cut the mustard, so Dave disappeared in to the room of requirement and conjured up two more. I shook one, while he used the other... then lobbed the empty one in to the bin and grabbed the other one to finish the job. At that point I realised that I had essentially painted myself in to a corner and needed some pretty nifty footwork to get out of the way so we could lower the tray in to position. Mischielf managed. We pinned the shower tray down with excess bricks and gave up for the day.

Once the tray was down, we we started on the tiling.
I truly forgot how dull tiling is. Yes, you get instant gratification as the tiles go up but there are spacers, cement drips, mess, yukky stuff. We got the right wall tiled on Sunday afternoon and Dave was prepared to take on the far wall on Monday...
