Okay, for those of you that responded to my Corian questions and the elevated tub - thank you! Interesting discussion. My final choice was to elevate the tub
2 3/4" to make room for the drain problems. I did this by cutting 2X4's on their edge to a 2" thickness, screwing those to the subfloor, then screwing down 3/4" plywood to achieve my 2 3/4" elevation. Dry fit the tub and surround and everything including the plumbing fits exactly as it should.
Now for my next question! The bottom of my fiberglass tub has a grid work of 3" squares with 3/4" posts spaced and lengthened accordingly for the tub to sit on. I would like to do something that would fill all the voids in the grid to the level of the posts and then mount that level in a support bed of some kind.
I've gone through all the options I could think of and there are pros and cons to everything I could think of - minimal expanding spray foam, mortar, sheet rock mud, plaster of paris, Quikrete. I'm not throroughly sold on a single fix, yet. What do you guys think?? Would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.
Again, thanks in advance for your responses.
