could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong on this cut. this Is a look from the inside. I'm not sure how to frame were the wall meets up with the dam. It Is not flush for the durock to be fasten. are me angles off? Thanks.

sorry wrong picture new at this

ok I think I got the right photo

See if you can follow my drawing with the new stud locations.
The fill in pcs on the front have angle cuts on them and can be done a couple of different ways. They are a little hard to explain. Its easier to show someone but we can't do that here.

If you don't understand I'll try to explain it.

Sorry mrlen I couldn't get the text on the drawing to come out large enough.

The studs must be screwed together with 3-1/2" screws at the corner point on the inside edge where they touch.
Studs are perpendicular from the inside of the bottom plate.

RC you rock, that illustration was perfect. I just went downstairs to try that out and It will work. One more question my dam equals 26", If I put the two 2x4 on either side of the dam that will give me 20". Will that width be enough to get in and out of the shower? Thanks again Rc
Mrlen

Ideally your door opening should be min 24" to 26" max for a custom glass door. Measurements are from finished surfaces. IE: tile or marble jambs.

Can you enlarge your floor area?

thanks RC, for now I was just going with a shower curtain for the doorway. I think I could go bigger right now It's 40x40, I just dont want to get to clouse too the toilet, the toilet will be facing that wall how much space is reasonable from toilet to shower wall? Thanks

Mrlen, I had a similar situation on my personal home when it was being built. My original plan called for a 24" wide area for the toilet. My plumber recommended a minimum of 30". The toilet is next to the shower, like yours, and I couldn't take any more out of the shower space, so I took it from a nearby closet to get the 30" (I think we ended up with 31 1/2" in the end) and boy, am I glad I did. 24" is too small, by the time you hang a paper holder and all. Measure from the center of the toilet flange to the stud, and make sure it's 15 1/2". This allows 1/2" for the drywall or whatever is on the outside of the shower. I don't know what the code is in your area, but this seemed to give me plenty of room. If you need to move the toilet flange away from the shower wall, you can get an offset flange which will give you more room (can't remember if it's 1 1/2", or more) Hope this helps.

I just noticed in your post that you said the toilet is facing that wall. You'll probably need around 4' in front (flange to wall)
