After the shower reno was done I made a thing. I'm calling it a #soapcuterieboard (seems fitting)

Didn't realize that @rowe_casa_organics shampoo bars were a thing until recently and the wifey asked if I'd make a tray to hold em all. Gotta say, I really like that I won't be scrubbing up soppy soap gunk off the shower bench thanks to this little tray.

Throwing it back to when this little @surfprepsanding 3x4 sander came in clutch prepping some cabinet doors for paint. Love how the foam pads conform to contours.

From bad beginnings to happy endings our shower re

From bad beginnings to happy endings our shower renovation is DONE and we’re loving the results!

Getting the old tile shower demoed is one of the best things we’ve done for our sanity. Constantly scrubbing and resealing grout just to have it mildew within a couple weeks was getting old, not to mention gross.

Aside from the multiple design options and straight forward install, the ease of cleaning is what we’re most excited about with our @casticotx shower system! To top it all off, Castico is designed and manufactured right here in the good ole’ US of A and sold at my favorite hardware store, The Home Depot! Follow the link in my stories and check it out!

Probably the last time I'll use iron on edge banding (praise the Lord!), but wanted to share the process I've settled on over the years of using this stuff👊.

Even though I got along alright with my doubled up clamp method to hold pieces still while applying the edge banding, having a @sjobergsworkbenches bench with a proper vise has really spoiled me😃

Bye bye iron on edgebanding!

Finally got the @maksiwausa edgebander setup! Now I just gotta wait for the new edgebanding and glue to show up😃

Gotta fun little experiment going on to see what tools the @geneversepower will run to find out if I could rely on this power station for install work or to knock out projects when the power is out. First up is my trusty @kregjig ACS.

What do you think, will it run the saw? 🤷

Fun fact, you can charge up this power station with solar panels.

I had to square up the inside of this notch so the leg would fit into place on a vanity. I don't consider myself a hand tool aficionado but I'm pretty happy with how this cleaned up! All you hand tool pros, how would you have cleaned up this corner? (I'm looking at you @cowdogcraftworks @anneofalltrades @mattcremona)

Gotta say it's also been nice having a good @sjobergsworkbenches bench in the shop with a proper vise for doing this kind of work!

Walls panels are starting to go up! I templated the right side panel where it's notched around bench to make sure the cut is dead on the money and it came out great!

So far the install is pretty straight forward and simple, in all honestly the most time consuming part is just dodging rainstorms 😂

What do you think about this picket pattern on the @casticotx wall panels paired with the solid white on the shower bench?

Starting to put in the wall panels for our shower

Starting to put in the wall panels for our shower this week and I'm pumped! Today I'm just tackling the bench, and over the course of the next few days, I'll be putting up the remaining walls.

I made a couple cardboard templates so that the parts I cut would fit perfectly. I'll use the Grabos to make setting these pieces in place a breeze!

Can't say a big enough THANK YOU to the father son

Can't say a big enough THANK YOU to the father son team (Joe and Robert) that came over to lend a hand getting the @casticotx shower pan set in place! We used two @grabo.tools (one with straps) to pick up and lower the pan into place. These tools are a total game changer btw, if you've never heard of them go check it out!

At roughly 80 pounds and 42" square it was way too heavy and awkward for me to set by myself but a good plan (thanks for my lovely wife) and a couple extra hands made the operation pretty easy.

If you're wondering, I used polymer modified thinset troweled on top of the redguard coating and back buttered on the pan.

So pumped to have this step done, now it's on to installing the wall panels!
