Kerdi 38x60 shower pan listed as 1.5" thick.
First house, first DIY, brand new bathroom addition a-z.
I installed 5/4 deckboard, true 1 inch depth, and then 1/2" treated plywood. Pan and surrounding floor are ontop of original hardwood floors which I sanded.
When I finished installing the floor I then installed the pan following Schluters instructions. However, around the pan is 1/2 inch above and 1/4 inch above the pan with ditra installed.
Perhaps I should not have moved forward with pan installation or took up the surrounding floor when i realised they were not level. However, I did not.
I do not know what to do?
Drypack mud to level out the transition but keep a slope toward the drain (albeit the slope will increase in steepness)?
Pictures I tried to show where I messed up. Tiles are just out for dry fitting for prep.
Thank yall so much.
