Okay, it’s official. Tile removal creates more dust particles than anyone can possibly imagine. The dust traveled across the house, around corners and got into places I didn’t even know existed.
We are running the air filter and lighting the salt crystal lamp but it doesn’t seem to help too much.
Day 3
The tile layer showed up 2 hours late because his wife had a doctor appointment….not the best start. Once he got going things went smoothly, however quite slowly.
All the old tile is gone. The dangerous two-step down shower design is now a rectangular shower with a 7′-0″ high ceiling. There is a ledge to perch a leg upon should it need to get shaved. There are two niches that will hold shampoo, soap and the like. The drain has been relocated and the shower valve and plumbing for the new shower head is in place.
Monday the tiling will begin ! We should be complete by Wednesday if all goes according to plan.
It sure will be nice not to wade through dust and debris to find the powder room on the opposite side of the house to use a bathroom.
