    basement shower on a platform but little head room.
    "I would like to put a shower and toilet in my basement. Due to rock all around my house I need an up flush pump for the toilet and shower. My ceiling is only 7ft high and the pump says I need to put the shower on a platform of 2X6's to make room for the trap. I'm 6-3 and not getting any shorter, is there any type of trap that I can use so that I don't have to make the platform so high. I know I can cut into the floor but was looking for a way around that.
