Just a measly 5.5 months later...

And the shower tile is D-U-N. Sweet mother of pearl, that took awhile. I just need to silicone the corner joints and at the bottom and then install the door and the shower is complete. Oh wait, forgot, the ceiling was out of whack by 1/4" over a 42" span so I'll need to float that and texture. Then paint and then done.

So nice to see the hardware in there. Now it looks like a real shower!
