So here's what I have been working on in my spare time. My own bathroom. I am a professional Tile Setter and doing what you do on your own home can be agonizing. It's only taken about 2 months to get it done. LOL
The original bathroom was 35 years old, with a Neo-Angle fiberglass shower that leaked (hence the remodel) and a disgusting glass enclosure. I didn't get any "before" pics because my plumber gave me about 4 hours notice that he was coming so I had to tear all of that old shit out post-haste. you can see the funkidellic paint job tho. It's a damm shame I couldn't keep the Flamingo. dammit.
I wanted to go with a curbless shower pan to open the room up a bit. The room is square with a corner cut off, where the sink goes, so there wasn't alot of room between the neo-angle and the sink.
The floor from one side to the other dropped 1-⅛". yeah. It is an elevated framed floor above a slab. so I just cut the framing out under the shower, made a dam and filled it with concrete with a slope for the pan liner, then the mortar pan went on top of that to flush up with the Self Leveling mortar. What a difference.
Gutted, and new plumbing installed. you can see where the 7" X 48" niché will be.

I was going to be short on bags of concrete so, out to collect rocks. Rocks are good filler for concrete, right?

Re-mesh is staple down. I used exactly 783 staples. That's code.
