Cool Stucco shower

	.
A view of the curved shower. The top was left flat in case someone wanted to use it for a shelf;	The flat wall areas have metal lath nailed up prior to plastering. Random texture and color differences add movement and depth to the completed work.

Shower starts life as bricks laid on concrete floor.	If we used framing, wood or metal, it would require bracing to the ceiling. Bricks allowed a free standing wall. Also, mortar bonds well to the brick.

Soap/shampoo shelf is sculptured into wall.	Four bricks are stood up to add space for the shelf.

Scratch coat on metal lath and bricks.	After brown coat has set up overnight, top is formed with strips of masonite. I like using hilti pins instead of masonry nails.

Edges for soap shelf are formed and filled, awaiting the finish coat.	Finished floor.

the floor and walls up to about 6 inches are painted with a rubbery membrane material. Here I put down metal lath and I am plastering the floor.	I used a real coarse sand for the finish coat because it drags random pits and irregularities. I hope to more of these showers in the future
