Thanks Look, Pipes are good. Studs are very good too. Drain pipe, do not know yet. I will have to clean up the area and inpect the drain pipe. Will post pics.

If I have the pan floated, with liner and such, would it be possible to do the surrounding walls with hardi board? I thought the walls and the pan need to be the same type (1 piece)? If not, tiles will be cracked at the join?
Edited: oh I can have the pan and the curb floated. Then the hrdi board come down from top to the floated surface. Got it.

On the dry area, out side the shower, I am thinking of either mastic or thinset tiles on the painted wall, maybe up to 3' or 4' high. I can have another layer of primer on it.

Tell me what you need or like to do, I can give you phone numbers to people that will only do a portion of the work for you, like floating the pan.

Once you clean up that mess, take another pic of the shower will ya? I like to see the drain. How's the rest of the plumbing? The light, now is the time to do it.
