    Have you ever done a custom pan at all before? Custom pans are usually not a great DIYer project let alone a handicapped shower pan. Are you insured and bonded?

    Absolutely, mortar will hold wheel chair.

    You are not asking the important questions. So I will ask you:
    1. Did you drop the floor in your new handicapped shower so handicapped person can roll in with wheel chair ?
    2. What were the heights of the shower valve, seat and handi-bars ?
    3. What did you do in regards to shower door ?

    Back to you...
