alright. we went into overtime tonight. after supper we started pouring concrete. i had wanted to get a pic of the shower drain flange and the amount of distance from the floor to the bottom of the flange but paul started mixing concrete and i had to haul butt to help so i didn;t have my camera on me. anyway, there was about a 3 inch gap or more between the existing concrete and the bottom of the flange. i cut off one inch earlier today and recommended more but paul didn;t want to do that. well i finally convinced him. reasoning being we would loose depth of the finished floor if we left it the way it was. so i took off one more inch from the drain pipe then set the flange. we mixed 1 and 1/3 bag of quickcrete and floated in a floor. when doing this sort of thing you want the cement dry. add only enough water to make it moist then use a trowel and level it as best you can using a level. doesn;t have to be perfect. the installation kit we are using makes the slope fool proof.
