   Check out the prefabricated concrete backer board shower pan systems at bonsal.com.  This manufacturer also makes pre-fab curbs, shower niches, etc all out of backer board.  Could be a real time saver if you can find a local distributor...

   I don't know if I would trust my joints to be very waterproof on a site-built version.

   I remember that piece, too. I think it was about three years ago, but I can't find it.

   Odds are you wouldn't want a CBU shower pan. It's not waterproof and if you screw it down you would pierce the pan liner underneath it.

   A better option would be Schluters shower pan kit, complete about $500. HD can order it for you. What I really like is the square drain cover! No more cutting round holes in tile!!!

   Yeah wango=== I think the point of the CBU showerpan was to avoid double mudcoats..............

   You still had to put in pvc or some type of liner over it.
