CHECK MY MATH, PLEASE



So I'm in the process of laying out my shower for a curbless entry into a Flo FX square drain. I have the subfloor out of the shower now and need to determine elevation so that the tile from the floor and the tile of the shower floor finish on the same plane. By my calculations, I need to cut the current joists by 1/4" to get the math to work. Do you all see the same thing or is there anything I am missing?

I'm not a contractor but certainly have enough skills to do this right - especially after watching 147 of Isaac's YT videos. LOL

Disclaimer on a couple of the dimensions:

- 5/8" mud base is the rise over the FloFX, based on longest dimension being 32" from the drain.

- Bathroom subfloor currently rises 1" over the level of the joists in the shower.

- I will actually install a small (3/4"-1") curb over top of the main bathroom floor where it meets the shower floor to help with the transition as they are of 2 different types of tile - and butting them together wouldn't look right, in our opinion.

Please check me on my math and let me know what, if anything, is missing.

Thanks!
