    Remodel Question
    We are re-modeling a 1/2 bath, and have removed the old 32' x 32" shower. The
    drain is 16" centered from each corner. We want to expand the shower to about
    34" x 48", making it a ceramic interior. My question is how do I make a new
    shower basin? The drain, I believe, is cast iron, in a concrete floor, and now
    stands about 2" from the floor (we removed the old basin).

    Thanks. Art

    Note: This is from corrector001, I moved it over from my E-mail.

    Tom, you are wanting other opinions? I guess I would instal a strainer to establish the height needed, and then frame up the outside about the same height. Then mix up a fairly stiff concrete and slope it from the outside to the thickness of the tile below the strainer. Once the concrete is set, instal the tile leaving it slope down to flush with the strainer.
