Did you try the self leveler for the shower floors?

No...these shower floors were done months before you had posted up about it. I hadnt ever heard of the stuff.

Thanks guys

The marble is from Leventina slab yard and the fabricator was ER Remodeling in Dallas

[jewozzy]

where did you get your marble? i am wanting to redue my master bath. ive got a clawfoot tub in there currently and have enough room to do a good size stand up shower in the opposite corner. i really like the look of your marble and want to go with something like that. your place looks dope.

cabinet doors were $25 each, drawers $20, slab fronts $10. Used a cabinet builder that basically specializes in doors and drawer fronts. Luis Cabinets out in Arlington. They are poplar frames and mdf 1/2" center panels.

Thank you

What did the cabinet doors cost? I am looking to replace the doors in our kitchen eventually

[KBScobravert]

Be thrilled. You did good work. That master shower is awesome. Is there a bench in there?

Definitely over budget...but its where I didnt plan on spending.
Electrical supplies $2k
Soffits/Fascia - $6500
Roof - $4500
Plumbing - $2000

If I didnt have to do the extra things...Id be about $5k over which isnt horrible. My goal was $30k but said it would be $30-40k on the first page. I was wrong and it cost more. Im $200k into a 2100sqft house on an acre of land. Im still thrilled.

Not knocking you at all, man. My experience is, take your original estimate and double it for big projects like this. My Dad & I built his house ourselves. I don't know how many times we said, "well, now's the best/easiest time to do it", "if you're gonna do it, do it right" or "it will cost more to do it later". Any of those sound familiar?
