Almost there

Last week, (was it just last week?) we finished tiling the 4th shower wall around the door. It took hours because there was only 1 full tile per row, and all the others had to be cut.
We also laid the floor, which went super fast because the hex tiles are in 2 ft square sheets all connected together, and we only had to cut out the hole for the drain and cut the sheets to fit the space.
Today we grouted the walls. That took about an hour to put it all on, and another half hour to take it all off. It was a lot of hard work too, and while I sweep at lot in curling so my arms are at least used to the abuse, the Other One is getting a little soft while he spends most days only exercising his brain. I'm thinking tomorrow he will be pretty sore when we have to grout the floor. We decide to use bright white grout between the tiles hoping that white on white would hide all the imperfections of the tile job, and I think it worked. The corners on the edge of the first wall we tiled gapped 3/8th of an inch because we really didn't know what we were doing. And the blue tile didn't cut so well on the stone saw, so there were nicks and chips in the glaze edge. The grout really did fill a lot of that in, so it looks pretty spiffy I think.
After a few days of letting it set up we will seal it all. We are not going to install the door or window yet, we plan to cover them with a shower curtain because our goal was to be able to have a shower before Christmas while the parents are visiting.
