    Building shower pan on concrete floor

    Thank you for you quick response! That reminds me of one other question, so if I am starting on a concrete slab do I still need to do the pre slope on up or do I start at the PVC liner? Also how do I secure the bricks to the cement? Thanks again! Michele
