Curious to know what all you monte enthusiast do for a living. Whether it's typical or extremely exciting it would be cool to know. I'll start out with saying I am a carpenter out of local 706 in Saginaw mi. I work in various places around the state sometimes. I do anything from concrete forms, trim work, drywall, scaffold, framing, etc... I worked at the Detroit international auto show this year building the toyota booth and now tonorrow headed to the new ford motor plant. What about you guys?

I work for Sizemore Farms out of Plant City, FL. Picking fruit, clearing land, warehouse packing. Hot, hard work. Today I saw a snake eat a frog.

Lol awesome. I feel you on the hot hard work. Last 9 months I've been in a power plant working next to boilers. 100-130 degrees sometimes hotter depending on weather.

I'm a tile contractor, install wall and floor tiles in any way you can imagine
Here is a recent project, master bath remodel. New shower, angled body washes, 2 shower heads, bench seat, limited glass enclosure no door, curb-less shower entry, used Indonesian Micro-pebbles at shower floor to create a frozen lava flow effect on the ramped entry, moved the tub away from window, installed vanity with a seated position at window area. Put tub where vanity used to be. made a ledge at tub for candles and wine etc. Also helped hide plumbing and provided a tub spout mounting point. Tub is a non-jetted soaking tub, almost a 6K tub . All 12x24 porcelain wood effect tile flooring and pebble shower floor is heated. Mood lights under vanity, tub chandelier variable brightness on separate switch from behind tub sconces. This is something the customer and I designed and then I got busy putting this in. about 12 weeks to finish, from demolition to completion. Anyway that's what I have done since 1983

Notice recessed angled body washes. Did this because the heads would not swivel enough to prevent water from getting past the 32" wide glass door-less enclosure. Solution, recess and angle the washes mounting points. It works!!!



Micro-pebbles at shower floor, as you can see, a one of a kind shower floor. Hand shaped the mortar bed to create contours and irregular leading edge to mimic something someone might see in nature.



T&L metallic non-jetted soaking tub. Variable light intensity Custom Chandelier... Nice spot to end the day. A ledge for a glass of wine. She is an LPN in pediatrics, needs a refuge.




Under cabinet variable intensity mood lighting. All the lights are on separate switches.
