Non-standard tiled shower
We have a shower made entirely from tiles and the floor is a concrete
slab. The beams aren't even securely on the floor, so minor wall pressure causes the seal on the tiles to crack. One obese neighbor (twenty nearly identical houses on my block) fell through the shower floor to the basement a decade ago. The house is wood frame built in 1965. What's worse, the dimensions aren't standard (less than a yard each wall) and the design is somewhat trapezoidal instead of truly rectangular. Adjacent to the shower are two closets and the main bathroom bathtub. It is also a big pain because it is one of the furthest points in the house from any outdoor entry door (so construction really inconveniences and messes up half the house). First question: where do I find non-standard fiberglas (or similar material, eg PVC?) shower stalls and floors? Next question: anyone have similar experiences they wish to share? - = - Vasos-Peter John Panagiotopoulos II, Columbia'81+, Bio$trategist BachMozart ReaganQuayle EvrytanoKastorian http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.
