Nice job

[@Carol_da_barrel4]

Beautiful work! I sure could use your help in Ohio😊

[@frankcatrini4816]

pretty nice job however you could of improved on the lay out. i know you didnt center back wall because you didnt want a little piece on the left side of window but there wouldnt have been too many because the little cuts are every other row and still believe this would of looked better than having the back wall not centered. by not centering the back wall your cuts meeting the side walls arent the same wrap on both sides, so it looks wonky. also i would of trimmed the bottom row about an inch, this would of centered the bottom and top cuts more and also centered the top and bottom cuts of the window better. also with this pattern the corners should of been switched, you have the little cut on back right side meeting another little cut in the corner of side wall, it should of been little cut meeting a big cut, this way it would of looked more like a full tile bending around. so in the end your prep and waterproofing is great, your tile install is great, but the pre planning layout could be improved...
