Hi! I've moved into a house that was in the middle of a remodel and one of the things that needs to be handled pronto is the gutted master bath.
First question: There's a sloped plywood shower pan that already exists (photos attached). My question is, rather than the traditional method of sandwiching a membrane between two layers of sloped concrete, does the pre-sloped plywood allow me to skip installing that first sloped layer of concrete and just do the second layer on top of a membrane, following the pre-exiting slope from the wood? Suggestions?
Second question: I'm building a cinder block bench finished with hardy board in the shower too. Does the membrane go under or over the blocks?
I've gone as far as I can go looking up information, but am not finding anything that specifically addresses these two items. Any advise is appreciated!
