DAY 3 - CUTTING THE TILES FOR THE SHOWER TRAY DRAINAGE
As a reminder, it was decided to install a surface mount shower tray with the less possible tile braking and removal.
The bidet drainage is cut (left) and the shower tray tried in its intended place.
A fiber glass shower tray was chosen in this case.
