So I found this kind of crazy but maybe I'm missing something...
House was built in 2000 with an unfinished basement with plumbing stubbed in for a bathroom. Toilet drain, sink drain, vent, and water lines are all there along with a tub box sunk into the concrete floor. I'm starting to finish the basement so I thought last night would be a good time pull the cap off the tub box to examine the shower drain pipe I'd be working with.
So I pulled the cap off the box to find pea gravel and no pipe. Weird, I thought... but figured I just needed to do some digging. So I began scooping the pea gravel out into a bucket. Got down to the dirt underneath, still nothing. Felt around the edges of the box under the slab, nothing. Poked around in the dirt a couple inches, still can't feel anything. Any guesses on a) where the drain may be? or b) how this could have happened? Anyone ever seen this before? Thanks in advance!
