Shower drain

I removed a fiberglass shower stall and plan to enlarge and ceramic tile the entire area. I have questions as to installing the drain. Do you need to slope the tile to the drain itself and if so how is this accomplished?

Another shower floor link

In addition to the link above, here's another great one to explain the "anatomy" of a shower pan/tile installation.

removing plywood floor around cabinets

T

troyestevens on Sep 15, 2002

I need to remove 1/2" plywood + 1/4" luan that was put over the subfloor (2x6's laid diagonally on the trusses) before I lay my cement board. I need to cut the plywood + luan around the cabinets in my kitchen. I've been told there's a saw that's designed to do this and is small enough to fit under the cabinet toekick. Unfortunately, I don't know what it's called. What's this saw called and where can I rent/buy one?

drilling holes in tile

B

Berry Mutton on Sep 19, 2002

Hello; I need to drill through tiles to mount a glass screen in a shower stall and at the end of a tub surround. One tile is regular ceramic 1/4" ( or less) and the other is 3/8" porcelain. What sort of bit do I use? Do I use the hammer or the drill option on my drill? And how do you stop the bit skewing sideways off the point where you want the hole to be? Help, and thanks Berry
