Shower pan goes in

Now that we have the tubes in, Melissa wanted to use mason mortar under the shower, in case there's ever a leak through the tiles. (we already have the pvc waterproof liner in place) She did the troweling out and determining the slope.

We mixed the mortar in the old wheel barrow, just as we had the other 245 80lb bags for the foundation. We were able to get the barrow into the hallway, so we didn't have to carry wet stuff too far.

Here you can see the mortar floor of the shower area meeting the mud floor of the rest of the bathroom. Things are smoothing out nicely!
