The Most DIFFICULT Bathroom Build I've Ever Done

What happens here

With the assistance of a helper, carefully transport the large, custom-cut shower glass panel from the truck to the bathroom, navigating the snowy terrain and stairs. Dry-fit the glass panel into the shower enclosure to verify the fit, paying close attention to the mitered angles against the sloped ceiling and side walls. Drill pilot holes into the wall and the tub flange where the mounting channels will be placed. Secure the channels to the walls and tub flange using screws. Carefully lift and place the glass panel into the installed channels. Apply silicone caulk along all seams and edges where the glass meets the walls and tub to create a watertight seal. The presenter notes the complexity of the custom cuts and hopes his measurements were accurate.

Goal: Transport, fit, and secure the custom-cut shower glass panel into the enclosure, ensuring precise alignment with sloped walls.

What they say

not too convinced with that angle. Great news, the first hard part is done. The glass is here, it's safe. Nobody slipped, that was the biggest concern. Next, we got to get it up there. Here's what I'm thinking. Uh we have two options. Option A, we have two ladders, both people come up and bring it up. But, now that I'm thinking about loud, I don't think that's going to work cuz we can't just set it down from the ladder. So, what we're going to need to do is one person on the ladder hoisting it up, the other person on top grabbing it and dragging it up. That seems terrifying, but that's my only option right now. So, let's cowboy up. We got two channels. Um I thought it's going to be three, but the glass company just said we only need two for this. One bottom, they're the adhesive backing. For the tub, they said just to use the sticker, the double-sided tape. For the wall. They said you can just use the double-sided tape, but some people choose to go with pre-drilled their own holes, which we're going to do that. It's a big piece of glass. They already came mitered for this wall angle, which I believe was what, like 150°? No, 30. 30° angle, which matches perfectly. Um so, we'll put a couple of holes there, and then over here, per glass company's recommendation, they said you don't have to. That's basically an aesthetic thing unless somebody decides to swing on it, which this being screwed in shouldn't be a problem. Wish us luck. Let's go. And for the tub, you don't need to put in screw holes cuz this is fiberglass, and no matter what kind of anchor you use, it's not going to do anything. So, I'm fully trust the sticker here, and I've done that before. It was not a problem. The rest shall get screwed, and the idea here is to make sure our gap is nice and tight. We're going to pre-drill our hole, and then we'll create a pilot hole around it with just a slightly rounder bit so that we could have a higher chance of countersinking those screws.
