- Now that the sheetrock, mud, etc. is progressing nicely in finishing
- our basement I have turned my attention to the bathroom to be finished.
-
- I had hoped to build a 4X7' glass block wall for remaining enclosure
- needed for shower. But.... It seems the only two places in the area
- that carry block are Seattle Glass and Mutual Materials - and
- the prices! ouch!
-
- 8' So I'm looking for suggestions for
- XX---XXXXXXXXXXX 1> other sources of block in the area
- X | | X (anyone got a wall they would like to take
- X | D | W X down & sell cheap??)

- X X 2> alternate methods to achieve the results
- X xxxxxxxX desired

- X Drain->0 X Bathroom is indicated on the left with walls
- 16' X X built shown with x's. Being long and thin
- X ???????X with only 1 window we wanted to avoid placing
- X X another wall where the ?????'s are that would
- XToilet Drain->X block the light. The floor is concrete and
- X X the drain already placed for a 36" square
- X X shower pan ( corner showers have the drain
- XVanity Drain->X placed towards the point by a number of
- X X inches more than square showers)
- X XXXXXXXXXX
- Can one get a corner shower pan with the
- drain placed where a square one would be?
- Is there some trick we could use to re-route
- the pipe without taking up concrete? Like
- maybe a flexi-hose of some sort and a raised platform? Is there an
- alternative to glass blocks I just don't know about? Any suggestions
- appreciated.
