Shower in a day!

[Remodeling Maidiac]

So our next job only has one shower/tub in the house and we're scheduled to start demo on Monday. Went out today and threw together a makeshift shower over their existing basement drain lol. Concrete already had a nice slope and tested the drain for flow rate first. Then just diverted water from a wet bar on the opposite side of the wall and 4 hours later, BAM new shower lol. I've never used more liquid rubber and silicone on studs before in my life.

Nice work!

It's the slopiest shit I've ever done lol. But it works.
Brand new CHEAP valve has a constant drip. Wall I built is crooked as hell because I followed the original studs for support and they weren't level. Now the dryer door barely opens lol.

The good news is in 2 or 3 weeks I get paid to tear it out and turn it into a laundry room wash basin

It pays to not only be handy, but adaptable. You've did a job that I probably would do myself in a similar circumstance. 100% on your corner on that. You saw how the project would turn out at the end and adapted to it.

It's a real compliment. I hate your politics. But I really respect what you did here. Nice work.

They were going to rent an rv for a ridiculous amount of money. I built that for under 200 bucks and a days wages. The most expensive part was all the liquid rubber on the sheetrock.
I am VERY eager to see how it fares without tile or stone over it because it's the same product I use behind all my walls but I never see it after the fact. This will be the ultimate test without a product covering it and being used by 3 people daily!

That's what I've used for years if anyone is curious

Are you going to do the stone work when it eventually comes down to it?
