Concrete is cut to relocate new drain, dam is built
and framing is installed for new window |
We "hot mop" our pan, a procedure using tar paper and hot tar,
guaranteeing
many years of leak free service. The pan is then filled
with water and sits overnight to test for leaks to be sure it's water-tight |

New valves are installed and we raised the shower head.
In this case, the handles were moved to the opposite
side of the shower. Insulation is also installed |
