Hi Our downstairs bathroom has a tiled shower stall/stand up shower that I plan to update. The current shower is tiled , rectangular shape with shower curtain, tiled floor (concrete under tile since it is in basement) My plan is to change it to a corner shower . For both options, I will need to demo and remove one side of the shower Options are -- 1) leave tiled back as is , install a corner glass door 2) Install a complete new fiberglass corner shower unit. I am inclined to option 1 to make it simpler and quicker. Will also replace the shower head etc to make it look nicer :) I will demo one side completely but I think I will need to demo more than that -- the complete outer structure , right ? Will keep the back walls as is I understand, I will need to extend the drain line to new position . That is fine How do I go about framing for the new corner shower door ? Do I Demo the bottom part completely and build a frame ? should it be a concrete frame or wood frame ? Attached some pics of existign shower . Any help will be greatly apreciated . Planning to start work asap so that I can complete by spring (yes, I am slow and hardly get an hour or 2 a day) Experience level -- repaired brick and stone stairs (replaced all brick and granite) , replaced floor tiles , minor repairs including replacing faucet etc.

Hello All :) I am trying to put up a 5 piece asb tub surround, using liquid nails tub surround and shower wall adhesive against drywall. I started this project a little over a week ago, fallowed the manufactures directions and made sure everything was level and fit right before gluing, then I glued it down, bracing the corner panels along the bottom as these didn't seem to want to stay down all that well. I waited 48 hours and removed the braces, the corners seemed to be in place so I caulked everything and waited another 48 hours.. With the first shower? the corner that was closest to the faucet and along the tub pulled up, the back panel that runs down the edge of the tub bubbled out and pulled away from the wall, and part of the seam where the two panels over lapped half way up the wall along the back panel lifted... I dried everything up and when the shower wall cooled? the back panel seemed to lay flat again only now it doesn't lay as flat, i pressed the seam back down and rebraced the corner waited two days and when I removed the brace? the corner again lifted and the glue underneath was wet. so i wiped everything out, cleaned up all the old glue, let it dry for three days and reglued with a new tube of liquid nails, braced the corner panel again, waited 4 days but when i removed the brace? the glue was still wet and the corner lifted again. some blue did seep out of the seam when i braced and that glue did dry but was easily cleaned up with a light scraping of my fingernail and a wet paper towel. the corner is braced again, more glue is seeping out from the glue from 4 days ago and I have no idea what I should do now. This is the second surround I have put up and the first one went really well with no troubles, used the same glue, same drywall, but a different surround so i am unsure if it is the surround itself that is incompatible with the glue or if something i am doing is wrong or if the glue is not doing what it is suppose too... also, where the panels overlap and the glue did dry? the panels are easily pulled apart, they just lift right up without any real effort and that glue has been on from the first go round. any advice would be greatly appreciated please and thank you
