Hi, first post thanks for making me a member. I hope to ask and get answers to a series of questions about my DIY renovation as the guy I had hired to do it no longer seems interested.
I have a 3 season bunkhouse with a rustic bathroom. The walk in shower was built all wrong, the guy used sheet plastic as a water barrier which of course failed and even the studs up the wall were rotted out. It was barnwood walls with the plastic behind it, and had a concrete floor with a wood grate to stand on. I'm going to put in a new floor drain, then put in a new concrete floor to the walls and tile up the sides 6 feet.
Here's my first issue:
The original floor was layers of concrete, with apparently leveler as the top layer. Removing that layer broke the 2" PVC drain pipe off at the top so I need to put in a new drain. I will gently remove the concrete around the PVC so I can install the new drain fitting.
I need to find a floor drain that mounts to the inside of the 2" schedule 40 PVC. I really don't care about looks but it should be durable. I plan to then patch the concrete up to the edge of the drain then float in new concrete so the floor drains correctly.
Can someone point me to a drain that will work for my application? I would need to order it online as I'm 30 miles from the nearest home store (Menards) or 75 miles to a Home Depot.
THank you
