Sorry to see the videos are no longer available. As a retired plumber, I was interested in what they had to say. This method of installing a shower pan or base is what the code (plumbing) refers to as "Roman Tile shower base". It's common in many parts of the country today to use preformed or manufactured shower bases that come in many common sizes and are just set in place on the subfloor and plumbed in. Good hub, John!
