Yes, that would have been easier, but Margie wanted to expand the base by about
6 inches, so there was no standard base available. It is hard work, but it is
kind of fun. And besides, I get to add a bunch of new tools to my collection.
Of course, many are only good if I plan on on doing this again. NOT!!!

Good Morning, Aram!
That's an ambitious project! I removed my tub, to make a walk-in shower, about
18 months ago. Worked well, but a LOT of work! Unlike you, I cheated, and
used a tub-sized, factory-made plastic base (about $120) which made life much,
much easier.
Good luck with the rest of the project. I'm already looking forward to seeing
the final results!

Only one thing going on, and that is my bathroom remodel. Not very artistic,
but this was my life for the long 5 day weekend. First shot is my wife
removing floor tile. Before you get all huffed up, I removed the tile walls
and thought we were done for the day. But then she decided to tackle the
floor, so I grabbed a shot before I took over with the tool. This is indeed a
joint project and she rips and tears wallboard, mixes mortar, spreads it,
tiles and grouts with the best of them.

The rest of the shots are just some of the stages of demolition and
reconstruction. Some plumbing to move the shower valve higher since we will
not have a tub any more, move the drain to the center, and three days of
building the shower pan. So, next week is to tackle the wall Hardyboard, then
build the niche and tile. That should be the easy part, or at least the
informed part, since we have done lots of tile work on our house. Never built
a shower an before, so glad that is over.
I’ll have to fit the rest in between teaching my summer class and sleeping and
eating.
