In the first video of this twopart series on building a shower floor for a corner shower, I address the details and processes for mixing and placing dry pack cement mix for the shower floor. I also show how to build the step for the shower out of brick and then encase that with metal lath and cement through a more traditional pour using forms to hold the cemented place while it dries.

This video goes into more detail on the concept of constructing the shower floor in such a way that water has very few places to go except down the drain. I talk about some of the pitfalls I have seen over the years when tearing out showers where people of reversed common sense for the sake of speed and built showers in a way that leads to leaks, mold and the need to replace the shower completely ultimately. Hopefully, the things I address in the video will help you if you are looking to take on a challenge like this on your own. Or, if you're just watching it because you're interested, thanks for that and I hope you find it useful and entertaining.
