Questions & Answers

Looking for a direction to finish this shower. My wife and I built our home in Idaho out of pocket over 7 years. We have been using an upstairs

full bathroom until we finish out master bath. Money is always tight and we needed other things so this was last. A year ago I blew out my back and now nothing is easy. At 64 I’m struggling with what to do with the shower pan. We did all our own tile in the home so that’s nothing new to us. But after watching years of Tile coach videos I’m worried we will screw it up 🤔. It’s an odd shaped bathroom and big basically a 4x7 ft pan with an angle. I was looking at a done tile ready pan but my plumbing is already ready to do the sloped pan and I THINK doing the tile ready pan will require me to cut the finished rough plumbing drain.

The Tile refi pan would also require me to be on my knees with my back less time. I would hire someone reliable to just do the pan but there is no one up where I am as I’m and hour and a half away from the valley where Boise and surrounding areas are.

I have watched so many videos that this point I’m not sure what way to go.

I could pull this 2x4 curb and take the angle out and shorten the pan a bit to make things easier?

Any suggestions. We just need it finished because my back won’t be getting better abd when it goes out as it does I can’t get upstairs where out only shower currently is.

Looking for advise. I built this entire place mostly alone but it appears my age caught up with me!
