Glued and screwed some 3/4" Plytanium and mudded flush with bathroom underlayment, which I had the pleasure of installing after removing the 27 year old particle board. Installed ditra to shower opening and kerdi cornered, banded, and covered the rest. Had a solid 3/8"/ft slope and allowed about 1/16" lippage on the threshold. Hopefully enough to keep sloshing water in the shower receptor. But it'd be OK if some got out.

GORK!! I think I've been messing up on my MB shower!!! 
Was I supposed to be mixin' my shower pookey with Apple Juice?? Maybe thats why I was having such a time with some of those spots in there. 
Nice work there guys!!

Finally finished at friend's
Finally got finished at my friend's home, was there about 6 months, lots of tile and stone work. She is an interior decorator with vintage taste so I did the marble master bathroom, floor and shower in cararra. Also had the piece made for the curb, the tub, and vanities made in same material. Kitchen was done on a stone modular pattern which I didn't do but wanted to post the shot of the island marble top which is huge. Pic of butler's pantry just getting ready to grout, basketweave pattern. Her daughter's bathroom, all subway tile, 3'X3'X9', so it was kinda tight in that kind of space, limestone on the floor and ceiling and rest of the room, wavy Florida Tile subway tile, pita but looks nice. I don't want to see any subway tile for a while!

Jon,
Your last photo in the 1st post does your shower floor have extreme pitch where it meets the walls?

(goofy) Roosters in progress....
Ok- so I decided I would give making roosters a try- 
I'm thinking its not going so well.... notice the lovely realistic feet...
Ok- I admit- I got bored and made super fast feet just to get the idea.. the whole thing seems kinda hopeless!
Dare I ask what you guys think... are they as goofy as I seem to think they are- they are much harder to make than I ever imagined they'd be! Not for a job or anything- making them just for fun- so do I even bother finishing them or
should I just go back to what I'm good at... (plants and sea life!)

Janna- roosters are a big americana thing, on all kinds of household items, a bit kitschy for me but I don't live in Iowa.
Also the rooster is a symbol of good luch in Hungary, Spain, and Portugal. Maybe other places, perhaps you could sell some here.
