Removing shower base in basement
We are replacing a shower in the basement 32 x 48. We finally got the base off by cutting around it to get it out because the center drain connection was so attached we couldn't remove it any other way. I have photos attached. We are chiseling away now to get to the bottom of this brass drain because it is cemented in the floor. Also in photo #two there is the PVC pipe in the center and then some kind of corrosion between the PVC and this brass drain. We found the brass name on it and found a photo of it online. It's a Oatey 101BR so we could see what we were dealing with. After checking out the new shower bases at HOme Depot, Lowe's, and Menards we see they have this pipe coming out of the bottom that would have to fit around the PVC pipe unless we can find a flush fitting one. My question is are we doing the right thing by chiseling around it and any ideals what the center corrosion material might be? Thanks! This is a real helpful website.
