I almost had a custom shower pan (tile-redi) built, but I had a couple of friends who built their own showers and they came out great. Both of them had about the same amount of experience as me. They both used a plastic liner, but I am going with supposedly a better overall system.

As it turns out I have started to like setting tile more than most other home renovation stuff. It allows for the most creativity, and a screw up is not too hard to fix. I am really looking forward to this job.

You better put a picture of your steelhead shower door on here. That would be incredible, but my wife would not go for something like that. I had a custom tile made for our side porch.
