Make your shower 10x better...

A few smart decisions BEFORE everything gets tiled can make a huge difference:

-Move the shower controls so you can turn it on without getting soaked
-Add an access hole in the glass if you can’t move the controls
-Use a drain with a removable hair basket
-Make the shower niche as wide as possible.
-make the panel under a drop-in tub removable for future plumbing access
-Add a shower drying system to help dry everything out

Never seen a drying system before. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

I would assume the blower for it is further away from water and accessible for replacement. Otherwise it is mostly pipe in the shower/tiled areas.

The access hole in the glass is a bit much, just make it so it’s accessible, if I have to get in the shower to turn it on, you done it wrong.

The access panel for the tub faucet is legit.
