Hi all,
I am getting ready to install a terrazzo shower pan in a small guest bathroom. There is no room or access to get machinery anywhere near to where the pan needs to be. The walls to the shower room are already built and closed. (This is a remodel, not new construction.)
The problem is that the terrazzo shower pan will weigh about 450 pounds. Any ideas on how to safely get it into position and lower it onto the concrete slab so that the drain is properly lined up and engages? That's a huge amount of weight to deal with without the use of machinery.
I can get about 6 big guys to help me, but I am worried about the alignment, as well as the possibility of someone getting hurt.
Grateful for any helpful ideas.
Thanks guys!
