It appears that we have turned the corner from destruction to the very early stages of construction. The first step is to cover the bare studs and insulation with solid boards that will provide a solid resting place for the new tiles:
The next step is pretty old school. The backer boards are covered with waterproofing material and chicken wire:
And when I say chicken wire, I really mean chicken wire.
Even the original penny tiles that have been uncovered through tile archeology are given the chicken wire treatment. This probably means that these tiles are not going to be seen by human eyes until the real archeologists dig them up sometime in the far, far, future. That's too bad. I liked the little blue and white guys.
So in the grand tradition of all construction projects since the dawn of civilization, after making some rapid progress, we must halt all activity and wait for the artisans and stone masons to craft the tub deck from a blank slab of marble.
So, we wait ...
