Welcome to Day 5 of our Replacing our Old Shower - Part 7 series. We have some more QEP tools and we're knocking the clips off. Knocking the clips off was a bit satisfying :) but you can see that I left a lot of thin set behind that needs to be cleaned up... Cleaning up the thin set took me A LOT of extra hours that I hadn't planned for. I should have worked a lot cleaner than I did that's for sure. Until the next one, keep Living the Northern Life!
