Well, the glass guy called yesterday and said he believed the glass would be through going thru the tempering machine yesterday and if all went well, he'd be on site today at 12:30pm.
Great news and at that time, he showed up with his older son and proceeded to install the seamless shower w/a header.
We selected matching brushed nickel finish for hinges, clips, upper header and door grab.
After 5 hours, the 3/8th inch thick tempered glass shower wall was installed. Have to wait 24 - 36 hours for the silicone to cure before use; but, the project is really finished (pull the black tape off Sunday).
The wife is thrilled which is all that matters with a grand total of $11,721.33 which is $10K below the 2d quote. I bought quite a bit -- the tile, no drill grab bar (not installed yet), 1/4 turn shark bites x 5, vanity, all hardware, shower arm & flange, toilet, baseboard, 2 vanity lights, ebbe drain & riser, magnets (didn't work out), marble niche shelf, tub trim, and face cloth hook.
It definitely turned out better than imagined and will be a definite plus to the master bedroom & overall feature to the house.
Okay, now I have time to buy audio gear.
Best Sirs,
Bob
