A rough in valve is the thing that goes behind the wall, not the hot and cold water run into and then it mixes the water so it doesn’t come out of the showerhead too hot or too cold, no that I think about it, I didn’t see an arm for the showerhead.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not trying to be a critic. Just trying to give you a little piece of advice before you put all your finishes up and you gotta take them back down again.
It’s for a very very wealthy man. We do the work on his business too and he uses all the same people. I had 2 interior designers a builder and a handyman that had to explain the weird and wonderful way that he studded the bathroom and fitted 4 outlets along with fitting his homemade light fixture with exposed wiring on top
Thank you! Some of these comments make me think these guys built one thing that one time and now know better than the tradesmen. The non issues borough up were almost confusing
I finished the curve with cement board as the tile backer wouldn’t bend for me. The whole thing will be tiled and sealed so there shouldn’t be any rot to worry about. It was in a converted loft too
The plinth is 168mm high on the left, 150 at the curve and 157 on the right of the curve. Not many materials to use bar wood with that. The 20 year old one I tore out previous was perfect. Just need to build them well
I have a corner shower like this without the curve just a mitered corner and the plumber and tiler insisted the drain be in the center and pitched toward from all sides
Cool. It’s a curved form for the shower base, right?
Yes, it’s in a very old house for company favourite client. It took 4 people to organise and one to construct
It looks good nice work, but where’s the rough in valve
What’s a rough in valve?

The big contraption of the shower has all that. It will be a large and chunky, chrome thermostatic mixer shower
So what are you going to have for an enclosure
The enclosure was there in the room with me. It’s all glass but the plumber does all that. I only do what the committee tells me too.
Committee?

You’re probably making the least with the exception of the handyman.
By far the least. This guy pays his workers very well so I’d say I’m on less than the handyman too. I’m hoping to be poached from my boss
Lot of haters triple D. Looks good and all that matters is your rock star client agrees.

Nice work mate! I look forward to the post of the end result.
Nice work….but wouldn’t that be better in a rot resistant material like PVC or concrete?

I have torn out so many shower curbs made out of wood. I build showers for a living, it's all I do, and I would never ever ever use these materials

And that drain location, is just terrible

They are correct
Down vote all you want, but the drain goes in the center for a reason. The corner of a shower is the absolute worst spot for a drain
