Shower

Project index · current design status

This page is intentionally short. The previous overview mixed old assumptions with current decisions. The construction page below is now the authority for dimensions, wall stacks, doors, floor, drain, build order, and purchases.

1Current design

Use Shower construction design to build. It contains the full-width plan, simplified D1 intact-partition construction, selected D2 wet-side slider, seven surface stacks, floor/drain section, ordered field checks, build sequence, and gated buy list.

2The room, to scale

Measured 2026-08-23. Before that the only figure was an assumed 32 by 24, so this room had never been drawn.

Flattening everything to 72 would leave 70.01, or 5 ft 9.6. The low end is over the last 10 in at the cab wall, which is not where anyone stands.

Red is unresolved: both opening sizes and positions, and the corner A radius that gets built out square. Green is the finished envelope. The driver wall framing at 2 is a RECOMMENDATION, not a measurement, and it is the last number holding up the finished width.

Construction designPrimary build reference: structure, floor, both doors, waterproofing, build order, and buy list. Large-scale detailsJunctions and fastener concepts. Use only after reconciling labels with the construction design. Field measurementsWhat to tape and measure before the floor, wall, and door packages are released. Release sequenceThe order in which measurements unlock structure, floor, finish, and doors.

4What is not confirmed

Do not cut the final door leaves or floor yet. The D1 hinge and D2 mechanism may be purchased at their stated gates. The drain still requires exact X/Y, chassis clearance, a supported 2-inch waste route, fall, trap/reducer arrangement, and service access from below.
