Hi Shorty, yes, it is just fine in do mortar on 2nd floor. However, there is a certain process you have to follow in installing shower pan. Have you ever done this before ? Do you plan on Hot Mop, install PVC liner, or pre-fab shower pan ?

No I have never done this before, right now I am workin on extending the drain pipe as the previous shower drain will not work for this application. I also need to build the front of the bed, install the pvc liner, wire mesh, mortar, etc. How thick should the sub floor be inorder to support the weight?
