Inner City, In-fill

[C_Dave45]

Thought you blokes might like some pictures of a job I just finished.

It's worth about $2 mil. Spent almost two months on the job. Consisted of 900 feet of 12x24 Basalt stone, and about 600 of 16x24 polished porcelain. The stair treads were 12x36 Basalt with a polished alluminum nosing that cost $37 PER LIN FOOT!! The master shower mosaics were $40/sq ft of 1x1 natural stone. The curved bench was fabricated from steel studs, metal lathe and good ole' 'hawk'n'trowell' mudwork.All together, the contract was about $40,000 for tile.

Enjoy:

[Barking_Spidre]

That's a sick shower!

Great job!

[Redlyne_mr2]

[max_boost]

Nice work.

[extm88]

Im calling Mike Holmes to verify how good of work it really is ;) ahha, anyways as everyone said, exterior with vinyl on such a nice hous:barf: Your work looks great though.

[nykz]

The exterior just doesn't cut it for how it looks like on the inside. Amazing work, love it! :thumbsup:

It's not vinyl siding. Its painted Hardibacker...a concrete product. Still looks ugly though..I agree. It has an elevator in it too.

The total cost of that staircase was about $45,000. Has 44 treads and connects 4 different levels. You can see down to the basement from the top floor (living room and kitchen).

That's a pretty badass pad. What's the parking situation? Surely it has some kind of secured garage...

[Ntense_SpecV]

Now that looks fantastic. Love the house...but I'm partial to the modern look.

[Criticull]

Nice work man...personally I don't like the tile itself, esp. the pattern in the shower, I think I would get dizzy looking at it haha.

[5hift]

Are you kidding? That tile is a work of art.

Like others, I'm not a fan of the exterior finishing on the house, but the inside is amazing.

Personally though, I'd be upgrading to a house out in Springbank before I dropped 50K on tiling a cramped city infill with a small garage space and no yard.

Nice to see Maddog back, one of the few posters worth reading.

[project240]

It's nice tile work, but honestly, nothing at all about this house screams luxury to me?

I imagine the house value is mostly location/size.

Nice work nonetheless Dave... I saw it posted on another poker site as well yesterday. The glass tile in the bathroom is incredible.

[barmanjay]

very impressive work




house does look like a converted apartment building. Would've been nicer with brick or other stonework all the way around

edit*

any pics of what the property looked like before?

no MLS history, only thing i could find is the tax assessment with transfer of land in 06

Must've been a complete dive and condemmed, transfer of $359k with a property value of $550k

[Davetronz]

Hahaha the tile in the shower made me dizzy just from looking at the picture!

Nice idea, bad execution... Typically you'd use a contrasting color on the glass to make the aluminum stand out / contrast more. it would have looked better with spandrel panels or tinted glass to match the red/brown areas of the exterior...

Personally I prefer black powdercoated with the cross reed glass (or opaque/clear sealed units) but - to each their own I guess.
