I'm in the process of a complete gut and redo of our cabin bathroom. Converting an old tub/shower into a shower only and I'm close to the point where I'm setting the 60x30 shower pan.
Purchased a Dreamline, right drain and did a dry fit yesterday. I have around an 1"-1/2 gap on one side to make up to get to the studs. Should i fill this gap with a small piece of wood and make it flush with the pan drip edge or just bring a piece of wood all the way to the ceiling and then go over that with cement board? And regarding the cement board, will this some to the top of the pan drip edge or actually go just below and in front? It will all eventually be covered in tile.
By the way, I ran the vinyl beneath the pan but after doing a little research, may actually cut it and trim it to the pan since I'll need to put a mortar bed in. I originally like the idea of running it to the wall but am seeing where that may not be a great idea, any thoughts on that?
I haven't set many of these but recall no gaps to worry about although I may have not had it down to the studs like this one. I've attached a picture.
