Sorry to highjack your posts but Jim made a comment about Hardiebacker in the pan that confused me.

Jim, I am building my shower right now and you state that Hardiebacker cannot go into the pan? Please explain what you mean. I am doing my shower also with pebbles for the floor on a mud pan that I just finished. I was going to mount 1/2" Hardiebacker on the studs with Redgard on it and bring the whole wall down to I/4" above the mud pan floor and silicone that space. The membrane goes up the studs around 8" I thought I've seen this done many times and it seems like you say that not to do this. I am confused. Am I missing something? Could you please elaborate?

Thanks,
Rob
