This is an old shower stall, custom built, in the 50's; replaced with a modern pre-fab curved door shower. The old shower, with thick walls from floor to ceiling, made the small bathroom smaller.

The old shower drain is in the wrong place for the newer construction. We had to break into the concrete foundation to move the drain pipe into the right location for the new shower.
