    Hey there! How's the shower project coming along? Just a heads-up about the shower tray-make sure it slopes well so water doesn't just hang out there like it's waiting for a bus. You definitely don't want a mini swimming pool in your bathroom! By the way, that tanking membrane is pure magic. Apply it three times and bam! You've got yourself a waterproof fortress. No leaks, no drama. About the shower ceiling-Becky will love it, but you might need to do a little knee-bending to get that shower head in just the right spot for you. Personally, I turned my wooden floor into a shower tray to keep that precious headroom intact-it's a game-changer. Oh, and about the drain-straight to the street, no biggie. Totally legal, just like washing your car curb-side. Who knew plumbing could be so street-smart? Keep up the great work-I'm sure your shower's going to be legendary!

    You had better stop that order for the shower head, as that's not going to fit. It's a over head shower head. Also doesn't a shower tray slight declines towards the waste so no water is pooling. Edited once again to say I am enjoying the build alot, keep up the hard work... It will be great.
