Mike and I finally had a chance to make it over to the Granite shop to pick up our Silestone sink top and have the holes drilled for the vessel sink and faucet. It was a really neat experience watching the guys work their magic with power tools and water. We had a little bit of free time this afternoon so we thought we would see what could be accomplished!
We installed the Silestone (easy), then started on the glass wall tiles. (Note: Glass tiles do not cut as nicely on the wet saw as ceramic or stone!) We waited several hours for the mastic to harden and then grouted, which also went fairly smoothly. The faucet is really cool and Mike had no trouble hooking it up. The vessel sink bowl is great but unfortunately, it did not come with a drain and the one we purchased to go with it isn't going to work...no worries, we'll remedy that tomorrow!
Overall, I am so thrilled that the downstairs bath is finally nearing completion. Just one piece of trim to install, the drain to hook-up and some little paint touch-ups here and there...I'm really happy with the outcome and I'm already thinking of all the ways we can change the upstairs bathrooms! All in good time, Ren. All in good time...
