If it hasn't done it by now then your probably ok to continue on.



Your absolutely right, but you would not believe how many are actually done that way.
We just want to make sure, so you don't end up creating a big problem down the road.

It obviously depends on available space, but when I did my shower pan, I brought the cement and sand bags upstairs and mixed everything right next to the future shower. Oh, and no problems using a black mixing tray from HD, it survided 3 or 4 mixes no problem.

just doing the same job as you are right now, for the first time. Basically just followed the steps in the site you mentioned and so far its been going ok. just put down my membrane tonight over the first sloped layer of mortar, found it awkward around the kirb to get it looking properly but after a while it looks ok, I think i will leave it overnight then fill the membrane with water, just to check for leaks around the drain before putting in my top coat of mortar. good luck with your project
