Beachguy, I am using a pitch kit to make the floor. As well as the Pitch Kit for the mud on top of the PVC liner. There's no other kit for the walls etc, and certainly no instructions. Give me a little credit. Neal, Thanks for the link for how to measure for custom glass doors...

I am trying to make my mud shower floor (using a pre-pitch kit) the same dimensions as a standard shower pan, so that a standard glass shower door will fit, without having to pay for a custom shower door. I misspoke and called my mud/liner/mud floor a "pan". I'm not a professional so my jargon...

Thanks for the help, Neal!

So, Neal, you're saying the 30" or 54" inches is measured from the A point on the drawing. Are the other sides of those measurements C (from my drawing)? If anyone has taken a tape measure to their shower pan, they'd be able to answer this question very quickly.

I'll definitely do the shimming and even some furring, as the walls have 2.5" studs, so I need to build them out for the shower fixtures, which are expecting 3.5" studs. I realize that I haven't been asking my question clearly. I made some quick diagrams to help. If I were to buy a...

It's a 95 year old house. I have to work with what I have.

I am planning on installing a "goof proof" mortar/liner/mortar shower pan. I've got the pre-pitch ABS rails to make sure the pitch is correct under the liner, as well as the rails that make sure the pitch of the tiles is correct. As for the walls, niche, etc., I'm using Hardibacker cement...

There is, in fact an end glass. We'll be making an L of glass to surround the shower, with tile on the wall as the other surface. What would you do differently, due to the end glass?

Thanks, Beachguy. You've been very helpful!

Thanks! Lots of great info at John Bridge's site! I'm going to have to read all of that! However, I see lots of great info on how to MAKE the curb, just not WHERE to put it. If anyone else has done put a sliding glass enclosure on your shower curb, I'd love to hear about it, or maybe even...

Getting the installer on the phone, and hearing a clear answer from him isn't as easy as I'd hoped.

We watched Money Pit while we were in closing. More of that rang true than we would've liked. :) Thanks for the welcoming welcome!

I'm am remodeling the bathroom completely from the joists up. So far I've redone the plumbing (converted to PEX) and I'm putting the floor back down. I'm putting in a 30" x 54" shower (a standard size from the local glass/shower door supplier), but I'm trying to find out a key piece of info...

Hello, I've been working on my house for a few months now, but I'm having trouble finding some answers by googling alone. I thought I'd join this forum to learn from you guys a bit. I've got a home built in 1919 in Los Angeles. I've already ripped out the floor in the kitchen and bath...
