Congrats. I highly recommend retirement. The hours are great!!!

Yup, 6 Saturdays, and a Sunday.

My first day was pretty busy though.

My first realization was I didn't have time for a job anymore. 11 years later I still don't.

My shower pan build is going to be an absolute pain. My. Drain pipes are crooked. I did a crap job when I was putting in the rough plumbing and the drain pipes are coming up about 20 degrees off plumb. So I found a fitting that will allow me to straighten it. But by the time I get the fitting on with the shower drain above it, I am looking at a 7-8 inch step up for the pan( and a but more for the curb). I hate it. I cant chisel out the cement because i have two pex lines laid right up next to the pipe. that was a complete idiot move. And something an experienced builder would not have done.

Bathroom and shower remodels are my main source of income. Can you post a picture of your drain line? What size pipe did you use? What system are you going to use for your pan?

Whatever you do, do not create a step up to get into your shower.

There are so many different ways to build a shower pan that I find it hard to believe there isn't a solution out there.

You can repair the pex if you damage it. You need to get that drain straightened up at floor level, not above. Sucks.

You have more than one bath, right. So use the other one to begin with while you take your time to make this right. 100% agree with Eddie that an 8" step up into a shower is not good.

The only downside I have found about retirement is you no longer get vacation days, holidays or sick days.

Originally plan was to use schluter system. With the membrane on the purple drywall and foam floor and curb. I will take a picture of the wonky 2 inch pvc pipe coming up. Slab is about 4 inches.
Both showers are like this.
