More Progress

Finally, significant progress is being made in Grandma's bathroom. Several contractors gave us varying opinions as to whether the shower pan was leaking ... or not. One insisted that it was not leaking and we should not mess with it. Another reasoned that it had to be leaking because the water was coming from somewhere. Grandma was taking a shower when the mold guys were under the house doing their thing and they confirmed that, indeed, the shower was leaking. I guess, by that time, the crawl space had dried out enough from the burst pipe that the shower leak could be identified. When the tile guys dismantled the shower, they found a seam in the shower pan right where the water damage is the most evident and pronounced the original shower design to be "funky". They suggested a different design, which included moving the drain and changing the slope of the shower. These guys have had some experience building handicapped showers; I am hoping they know their stuff.
