Wow, you did a great job. It turned out really beautiful. Too bad you didn't get to enjoy it for too long, but your new lake house sounds like a fun adventure. These acrylic tubs seems to be pretty tough, and you don't have to break your back trying to carry them into the house. I'm also...

The glass block window arrived today, and it's even better than I hoped. First of all, the box was pretty big and heavy, but it was well marked and packaged well enough that it arrive safely. The crazy thing is that it shipped free with UPS and arrived in just a few days. This is a 51" long...

Hello! New member here. I recently had to tear out the tub and shower in our 13-year-old house due to some water damage inside the little wall between the tub and shower. We'd been thinking about updating our bathroom for a while, so now that it's all torn out we're taking advantage of the...
