Connie covered it pretty well over at the aptly-titled Ryan, Connie, Emilia, and Liam. Thanks to her for volunteering a camera that I could drag through the mud and guts. And for linking to Usain Bolt's wiki article for us non-runners that have no idea who he is.

That amount covered the shower area, leaving only the 8x5' floor in the vanity area. But for now I can wait the required ten days for the epoxy to cure and then have a master shower.
