What happens here

After all plumbing rough-in is complete, patch up any removed subflooring sections. Reinforce the patched subflooring by adding an extra sheet of OSB (Oriented Strand Board) for increased stability and support, especially under the new shower area. This is also the stage where any wall relocations should be performed to achieve the desired shower size. In this case, a wall was moved two feet to make the shower 7 feet long.

Goal: Create a stable and appropriately sized footprint for the new shower.

Tools and materials

  • Hammer — General framing work
  • Impact Driver Dewalt — Driving screws for subflooring and framing
  • OSB — Reinforcing the subflooring in the shower area
  • Pry Bar — Removing existing framing if a wall is being relocated
  • Saw — Cutting lumber for new framing
  • Screws — Securing OSB to the subfloor and framing

plumbing was done I patched up the subflooring and reinforced it with an extra sheet of OSB for added support now speaking of overkill it might be a little overkill to make my shower 1012 feet long so I to stay a little humble I only moved the wall two feet to make the shower seven feet long now I know it's silly how we had to tear down a wall just to build the back up two feet further this was a must since we're going for a bigger shower and not a smaller shower I mean we're here anyways right the good news is it didn't cost me any more money since I was able to reuse the old studs of the wall so basically I just relocated it I patched up the old
