Hi all,

I'm about to start a corner shower project in our basement. The rest was recently finished so its about time i get to this. The bathroom was drywalled and durarock (cement board) was put up on the one shower wall but since the plumbing wasn't finished it was left off the other. I noticed that no vapor barrier was used behind the cement board - is this required? Should I redo this part? Also, FYI the walls are not square - I would have to do something here anyway to square up the walls.

I have a plastic shower base and glass corner shower door/walls. I was planning on putting up solid surface over the durarock but wasn't sure how to finish it at the bottom where it would join up with the shower base. Do I take the solid surface over the shower base or just to the top lip of the base and caulk in between? I want to make sure no water can get in behind the base.

Thanks all for any assistance / feedback.

Thanks Bob, Gbar. Since i have to shim out the wall anyway to make square I will overlap the pan.

Re the light, it is wet rated but the drywall needs to be repaired as there was some damage done after a fixture change. I'm thinking of just removing the light in the shower as there is enough in the bathroom anyway. The plan was to move the electrical back to a point outside the shower and put a cover on the fixture box - make sense?
