What happens here

Begin tiling the shower walls, starting with the back accent wall. Apply thin-set mortar to the back of each small herringbone tile piece and firmly press it onto the Kerdi-Board, ensuring a crisp, level application. Use a wet saw to make precise cuts for edges, corners, and around the shower valve. Continue with the larger subway-style tiles on the side walls, using tile spacers to maintain consistent grout lines. Regularly check for levelness and plumb during installation to ensure a professional finish. Cut remaining tiles for the front curb.

Goal: Install herringbone and subway tiles on the shower walls.

get started. That came off a little too easy. Just dawned on me, this is not oak. This looks like it's maple or birch. Um it's not the greatest color, but it's not oak, which is great. Uh we could possibly sand this and restain it a really cool color and modify the back, so we'll probably be able to mount this thing um floating. Which means money well saved. Ah, I just realized this vanity is in two pieces, this piece and that piece. Without this piece, that's too small, and with this piece, we won't be able to hang it. Okay, well, this is going in the dump.
