Hi all, getting ready to renovate my small 6X6 master bathroom, and it will be a total gut.
I am putting down new 3/4 Plywood on top of subfloor, but was wondering if I should install the shower base first with mortar directly over plywood, and then install Hardi-backer on rest of floor?
Or should I Hardi-back the entire floor, and put shower base on top?
Its only a 1/4 inch difference in height, and I am thinking it might add more stability to the base if I go on top of the Hardi, but any disadvantages in doing it like this?
