I built this from scratch, including the the wall framing, drywall, cusom mortar shower pan, and the hardwood floor insert. It was 98% complete here.
Looks amazing! I love the wooden floor.
Would you recommend this project to a relative novice? I have this dream of adding a shower to our half bath.
Thats a hard question to answer. The overall process took a ton of planning and pulled from alot of areas that i have done some work before. If you are familiar with framing, some cement and tile work, i say go for it. Prepare for mistakes amd take your time. The shower pan was more difficult than i thought. It was my first one and i would say it was the hardest part. Getting the angles right to flow water into the drain was tedious. Id say watch some youtube videos on that part for sure and shower waterproofing. This took me about 14 days all together.
I love the wooden slats at the bottom. Do you find they get slippy at all?
I dont know yet. I’m building a whole place and we dont have the water hooked up yet. If it does feel slippery, i will find some sort of sand to put on with a new coat of polycrylic. But i dont think it will be needed.
My deck gets real slippy when wet so I’m wondering if this will ne the same. Hopefully not but the sand is a great idea.
Beautiful! I’m curious, how much carpentry and plumbing experience do you have? Looks like a pro job from here :)
Blood!!! 💉
There was blood sweat and tears, but that is most likely part of the waterproofing membrane.
REDRUM!
