    The glass will be the front wall. There are three sides to the shower. The opening is off by 2 inches at the top. The idea was to have a glass wall with a door. Doesthat help.

    The top of the opening is almost 2 inches wider than the bottom. The idea was to have a glass wall with a door. Because it is not square they say they cannot make the glass work.

    Lets say the measurments u gave us makes the wall 12'' out of level

    Are both walls out of plumb?

    Build a short return wall on each side.

    Thanks

    It is actually 2 inches out at the top from the bottom. I was thinking the glass could be made for the top across and then 3 panels one door and two sides. . So the top across is 80 wide and the bottom is 78 it is 90 inches high on both sides . Does that make more sense.
    Thanks for your help

    Are walls plump ?

    Okay I have measureed it all I

    It is 63 " across the top and bottom 93" high athe ends and middle. There is a bit of a wow in the top left hand side. Yet the top and bottom are the same length . However they are not square . I am wondering if I could buiild an additional piece on the left hand side to square it. I don't know I though I could have a custom glass place figure it out but they say no it would have to be square completley

    Measure across bottom.

    Measure across middle.

    Measure across top.

    Measure down left side.

    Measure down middle.

    Measure down right side.

    Check bottom for level.

    Check top for level.

    Check left side for plumb.

    Check right side for plumb.

    To get an idea of square and understand the differences in square other then just plumb. Lets use Pythagorean theorem to see how that plays out and tweak it a bit. It goes like this

    The base roots here are

    3, 4, 5, or 6, 8, 10,

    3", 4", 5" or 30", 40", 50", or 3', 4, 5', or 30', 40', 50' and so on.

    Same as for 6, 8. 10,

    These numbers will make a "Perfect right angle" A perfect "square"

    Choose which flat to start from wall or ceiling..
