Hi,
I'm a DIY builder by necessity. The plan was to fix up my old (1928) basement but had to spend a large part of the budget on structural (replace lintel) and outside (fix sinkhole) work.
Upon removing the old floor, I found dirt, no concrete slab.
The plumbing is now done and I'll have contractor pour concrete.
What I’m trying to figure out is how to build the bathroom / shower on the concrete.
The rest of the basement will have linoleum or vinyl planks on plywood.
What is the best way to build a bathroom / shower from the ground up?
Is there anything I have to make sure the contractor does while pouring concrete?
When making suggestions please bear in mind that while cost is important, ease of installation and long lasting result is even more important.
