**please note** the photo is sideways. It uploaded that way for some reason.
Folks....I'm a first time poster. This isn't exactly do it myself but I'm looking for advice from people who know this stuff and I have been lurking in the forum and see a bunch of folks who hopefully can advise me here.
I hired a local contractor with a very good reputation to gut and remodel my bathroom. Everything looks fine except for one major thing that is really bothering me. They are using swanstone for the shower enclosure. Ceiling and three walls. Everything looks good except for the bottom left portion near the floor of the wall where the shower controls will be.
They glued the swanstone to a plywood sheet. The bottom of the swanstone is not making contact with the wood because the lip of the shower pan is there. That tells me they measured something wrong. Why didn't they just add a thicker piece of plywood?
I am attaching a photo of what I am describing. I had a guy over the other day who is going to install frameless glass doors. He wasn't too thrilled about the problem but said he could get a door in to work fine.
The main contractor said, "this is very common" and "it happens all the time" and it's "not a problem". Somehow I don't believe it happens all the time.
What do you folks think of it?
