This next picture is of Ron drilling the screws into the wall. Just to let you know, we bought a shower tub enclosure, but, realized after we got it home, that it would just not work. It was the fiberglass walls that were going to be a problem, so we said, okay, we'll just tile the walls. Well, now Ron is finding out that he may have problems with the round glass doors...stay tuned on that problem...Ahh yes, the painting we said we were going to check on. Well, one place wanted almost $3000 to just spot paint and that was with our $1,000 worth of paint we already had!! The second place we checked wanted $1200, so Ron has decided he's going to just use some Rustoleum on the grillwork, as that shows signs of starting to rust and the galvanized metal should be fine until we get back to Fontana, so Oscar can finish the rest of the work plus the painting, that we've really already paid him for.
This picture shows the wall is a perfect fit and now all Ron has to do is drill the screws into the holes and into the wall.

The holes it makes for the screws

The pocket hole tool

This is the board, all cut out and ready to be installed in the shower area.

What I forgot to mention was Ron makes a pattern on the cardboard from the scribe, then, cuts the lines and then goes back inside to measure it to see if it's going to fit right, if it doesn't, he fine tunes it a little, cuts a little more, until it's a perfect fit. It then is ready to be put on the plywood, draw lines and then cut out the plywood so it looks like this next picture.
