Thank you as well, Rob, looking forward to the pics as well. Curiosity has this cat.
As far as the big box store mentioned, you will also be amazed at how much "copy cat" plumbing and mechanical parts that are not approved for the use intended. May sound picky to some that you use UPC listed and approved components on plumbing items but an unlisted shower pan will usually last 5-6 years, where a listed and labeled should last twice that at minimum. The label is there because they consumer test the component for life expectancy and safety much like a UL label on an electrical appliance. Mechanical components such as ductwork follow the same guidelines to keep carbon monoxide going in the direction it's supposed to, along with life expectancy for the product to assure same. Be careful what you buy.
