Lately, it seems that I am in more of a hurry to finish the house and have grown a little impatient, but I think it is just a phase. It will get done, and we are doing it right.
There are two things that slowed down our progress as far as the master bath goes;
1. We are using Marble
2. We are but jointing the tiles
I’ll explain #1 to you. Marble is a natural stone which requires special expoxy mortars and can crack easily when cutting. If you use ceramic tile, slice ‘em and stick. Much quicker.
The fact that we are pushing all the tiles up against each other without any kind of seam means that the tile installation needs to be done on a perfectly flat wall/floor. There is no ‘fudge’ room that a seam allows you to have. Most houses aren’t framed or stacked (Puerto Rican concrete style) perfectly straight which means you need to add concrete board to the walls, float the floors with a floor leveling compound and apply extra mud to the walls to ensure a tight fit (but joints).
Here is the current progress of the marble installation in the Master Bathroom:
