I am at home bored and finally decided to finish the bathroom in the basement. The rough-in was put in when we first had the house built. I figured this will be a fun project and plan to work on it on the weekends. The rough-in was originally set up for a sink, toilet, and a bathtub with a shower. I would like it to be a stand up shower only. After doing some digging on how to convert a bathtub to a shower I had planned to apply those principles to my design. I move the wall out a bit finished most of the framing for the bathroom then today I found a post that says a shower drain should be 2". I measured my drain for the bathtub and its only 1-1/2" so my first question is when people convert from bathtub to a shower does the drain become an issue? Based on that I guess I have to rethink my plans. Thanks in advance, Henry

Replacing an old laundry box in my basement with Oatey Quadtro box. I have a two inch schedule 40 stand pipe coming up for the drain. The instructions say to cement the box to the PVC stand pipe but I'm questioning if this is necessary. I mean it is basically just a traditional stand pipe that is coming up into the box. Anyone have experience installing these? I'm asking because I had to clear out some drywall and cut the old box off off with a reciprocating saw becuse it was glued. Is there a good reason to cement the stand pipe to the box? Thanks!
