Electrocution and resulting new shower!

Here's the story: The shower in our home was put here by the previous owners. It was a tube shaped shower that had power to it to play the radio, different lighting options, and a phone could be hooked up. However, shortly after moving in the radio quit working. We had to continue to use the lights because the shower had a lid on it and would have been dark otherwise. So, in other words, a shower (with water, of course) had electricity! Dangerous idea.. right?

YES! Long story short, I was electrocuted and it HURT! My left side felt tingling and 'odd' for a couple of days. We called Perry Goodall (laid our woods floors) and he came over and gave us a quote to build a shower. So.... we have a new shower.. and we love it! We opted for a shower curtain and no door so I wouldn't stress over the grout/mildew situation!

Here is the process of getting the new shower!

This is the mess in the garage!

This is the horrible, disgusting, impossible to keep clean, tube, tomb like shower.. laying in all its glory in the garage!

Framing....Sealing... building the wall...

Tiling.. this was a long process... but we love it!

taped for painting....

ALMOST... final product... we still have to hang the tile bar... and do some more decorating.. but we are excited about having a 'normal' shower....

Took this picture using the mirror... I had the day off due to snow today and had the opportunity to get the wall painted and the curtains up.. yeah! We still have to hang the towel bar (Perry put in a sheet of plywood so the towel bar would stay stable!)...
