Day 7 (Tuesday) - Tile, shower cubby, toilet floor.

Jose came back to work with George today, while Matt took care of other business.  They put in close to a 12-hr day -- those boys worked hard!

1. The first 5 courses of tile were laid -- up to where the mosaic accent will be installed.
2. A 12" x 12" shower cubby was constructed in the half wall -- a place to set shampoo, body wash, etc.
3. The shower curb and top of the half-wall were pitched and tiled.  The pitch caused some angst because it seemed so extreme, but both George & Matt said it's standard (& subsequently the glass door guy seemed to agree & had stories about situations where others had done it wrong).  I think we won't notice it when the glass is in.  I also checked it from head-on, as if entering the shower, & it's imperceptible then.
4. The new shower ceiling was put in.  A shower light will be installed later.
5. The outside of the half-wall was dry-walled.
6. The water-damaged subfloor around the toilet was removed & blocking added.  A new plywood subfloor was installed.
