Jerry did the work on the downstairs shower pan and also the shower pan for the outside shower. They both came out pretty darn good! Here is a picture of the outside shower and the new shower pan:
It may not look that impressive to you, but here is what the shower looked like in May

The shower pan is one of the most important parts to building a shower and it’s probably the hardest to get right (Luckly, Jerry is a master with concrete). Essentually you need to slightly slope/angle the floor so that the drain is at the lowest point. This is so that all the water flows towards the drain and doesn’t pool and sit stagnant in your shower. Gotta love gravity!
I also planted a foxtail palm and some purple flowery plants around the shower, for that “Yes, I am showering in the jungle” feeling :D.

Outside shower? Por que? (I don’t know how to do accents & what not.)
Nice work though! I dig the plants.
Jashana - Don’t worry, I havn’t figured out how to turn on the accents on the keyboard either :).
The outside shower used to be our only shower, so rather then rip it out, we are going to make it less ghetto and use it to shower after surfing and whatnot. Plus, eventually we want to put a pool in the back, so we could use it to shower off after swimming too.
Yeah, what Summer said…but also:
I grew up in a small resort town in South Jersey. Every single house I have ever lived in had an outside shower to rinse off, wash off beach chairs, clean sandy kids, wash sandy dogs, rinse off salty snorkel gear, clean freshly caught fish, kiss girls…ya know, all the things you would have an outside shower for.
