No, I don't think it's common at all. You do need to provide some sort of moisture barrier/cleavage membrane under the mortar (not "sand mix") to keep the wood subfloor from sucking the water out of...

Pre-formed shower receptors do not, by design, allow any moisture to penetrate the surface, and therefore do not require the weep holes used in traditional tiled shower receptors.

You may have a...

Mmmmm. Likely the reason for the fur down, Turby. :(

You could call the AC guy, and he might be able to splice in a bit of tubing to allow you to fit the line where it was planned to go, but he...

If I understand the question, and you want to cut off and remove the copper line from the control valves to the faucet on the other side of the tub, yes, just do that.

The two new-looking copper...

Maybe. Is it soft?

Can you poke a hole in it with a screwdriver?

Do you plan a second layer of subflooring in that area?

Sometimes the additional tear-out feels like you're going backwards, Turby, but it's still progress. :)

First, and most important, issue here is correcting your grammar, Turby! Y'all is already plural! Well, or singular, as the case may be. One does not properly add an S to y'all in any case! Y'all...

Yeah, I grew up calling it tar paper, too, Snets. I was probably near 40 before I found out it was roofing felt. 'Course, that was also back when it was call 15 or 30 pound material (15# or 30#). ...

You sure that's not #15 roofing felt, rather than 50# "tar paper," John? Of course, one never knows about California (the OP is in your State), but that sounds kinda extreme. And not too workable,...

Keep digging, Turby. That looks like an old hot-mop to me.

Is the shower floor recessed below the OSB floor we see in the photo? I can't tell from the photo.

You should get a better idea whether you have a hot-mop when you take out the floor mortar, Turby. The old shower I was comparing was definitely not a hot-mop. Just some sort of black impregnated...

In your part of the country we'd generally expect to see a hot-mopped shower receptor. Layers of hot tar and roofing felt as the waterproofing system. Doesn't seem to be what you've got there.

Much like my home state, the difference between the climate in north, south, and middle in California can be substantially different. Maybe you could narrow that down a bit in your Profile, eh?

Welcome, Turby. :)

A geographic location in your User Profile is often helpful in responding to some types of questions.

Interesting drain. Is there some sort of waterproofing membrane under...
