Shower pan, man!

Creating more space in the floor for the shower pan...





This weekend Craig and Kip installed our new shower pan! During the week Kip had prepped by removing the current shower stone tiles with a jackhammer (just a little dust, folks) so on Saturday they could remove the wall material behind the tiles. One wall was backerboard and another was some sort of drywall. This proved to be a bit of challenge, as not only had the wall material been screwed into the wood planks (I think it's called a sub-wall), it had been GLUED so it came off in small chunks and not without a fight. After stripping the wall down, they installed a small plywood wall to put our new shower tile on. What a long day for the guys (my mother in law took me out for high tea for my birthday) and so worth it!
