local building codes, standards, and regulations.
Move the base into position.
Make sure the shower base is level and the bottom of the shower base is resting on the subfloor.
Shim as necessary.
Clean the surface of the shower base to reduce the risk of surface damage, then place a clean drop
cloth or other similar material into the bottom of the shower base.
