So over the next three days Sean (our tiler) plugged away at the shower - like everything else on this project, it has ended up taking him longer than expected!
Looking at the work involved, though, and the level of precision required, I can see why it's taking so long. I'm also glad that in the end, we decided to get a professional in to do this! I have to admit, I'm extremely impressed with his work...and can't even imagine how much longer it would be taking if I were doing it.
Over these three days, Sean tackled some of the trickiest parts of the job: the niche, the arch and the floor. My only concern now is time, since I'll be heading back to NYC on Monday and I'd prefer if he was finished before I leave.

| Morning of Feb 23rd |
 |
| Tiling the arch, using posts to hold the tiles in place while the adhesive dries |
 |
| Beginning the slate on the rear wall |
 |
| End of the day |
 |
| Feb 24th - by mid-morning Sean finished the rear wall. One can now see the "wrapping" effect of the slate... |
 |
| The shower floor - had a long discussion on the spacing and location of cuts... |
 |
| End of the day - montage of the shower...it's almost finished! |
 |
| Late morning on Feb 25th - starting on the shower's final row (between the floor and 2nd course) |
 |
| By the end of the day (Saturdays are 1/2 days), most of the course is completed |
