I'm installing a pvc liner with a new P-trap and pvc drain. Tile will be put back.

The homeowner will be tearing that bath out when their 1yr old starts school in a few years. They are adding another bedroom and bath to suit them. She was a fashion model that traveled all over the world...shes over 6' tall and her husband is 6'10. He has to squat to take a shower

Until then they are going to live with a patched(short) shower.

Look how rotten the threshold is.

Here is the left outside corner...

Here is the right outside corner

Its delicate work when you get to the last row. Its stuck on wire and built up mud. Easy to break a tile.

How come when I'm signed in I cant see pictures unless i click on them but when not signed in they load and show up fine?

Go to your user cp page. Click Edit options. Scroll down to thread display options. Is the box by Show images checked?

man those sole plates and studs are shot. how you plan on daming that up and installing your pan when the studs are rotted? She needs to let you gut that whole shower out and reframe it right.

There is some rotten wood on each side of the threshold.....its not as bad as it might look. The studs are dark colored but they are not rotten or wet except where I've pointed out. The couple(man/wife) are on site and realize what they have...an old shower and its gonna be patched so they can use it for about 3/4 years until the little boy starts school....then the entire bath will be ripped out and a new bed and bath added to the back of the house.

These are second generation customers of mine and they understand its a patch that is not meant to be permanent.

ADD> Here is the tear out finished for the most part.

people are doing whatever they can to save money nowadays, these people are prolly sick that they shower went bad on them,

Ive never had to float customers before but in the past 3 months, ive had to take post dated checks for 4 water heaters. The People that are having to post date checks are regular hard working class folks.

Ok more pics of todays work.

Notice how the hack that installed that old cast iron didn't get the drain centered.........those guys cheated more than they care to admit.

Check the original pic of the shower out.........I corrected it for them.

I like to make sure my riser from the p-trap is perfectly plumb. The finished product depends on it....I hate to see crooked shower drains.
