Shower

This time around we have opted to build a full tile shower rather than a fiberglass tub/shower combo.  We always knew the original bathroom was temporary, but we figured we would get 5-10 years out of it before replacing it.  In order to put the niche in the wall under the shower head, I had to reframe part of that wall.  There was a stud that ran down the middle of that niche, so I had to cut that part out.  I also had to move a plumbing vent over inside the wall.  It now runs up the right side of the niche.  Finally, I had to add blocking in the wall to tie the shower doors into the framing so they will be nice and solid. I also had to move the shower head to the left so it is centered in the wall.  The contractor mounted it too far to the right.  Finally, I hung the drywall.  Next up is to install the Kerdi shower kit.
