I was over one day when the work was being done. It's a top notch job.

Do you really need glass doors? The shower is so big I would be surprised if the the water splatter would reach that far.:rollface:

 

[Westy82]

looks great jesse. ill be giving him a call.

Did you guys get a new house? Or does the new master bath take up half of your current house?

 

[frontosa_man80]

same house. our master bath had a lot of wasted space with one of those fiberglass shower units in it. Joe was originally contracted to do the flooring in the rest of the house, but when he got to this room he opened our eyes to what could be. he talked me into moving the toliet over 18" and bringing the shower out 14" more and doing a custom one of a kind shower. i gave him freedom to do what ever he thought we would like.

here is a before shot of me starting the move of the toilet drain.
you can see the ugly old shower in the back.

very nice Jesse, as ArizonaReefer mentioned, you may not need a shower door, looks great being open like that

 

[Vanpire]

What a change Jesse. Wow. What you can do with a little imagination and a dollars.
