"Blocking" around your shower stall is required to give the Shower Pan a solid surface to sit against, and also protect it from
careless tradesmen who might otherwise knock a hammer or other instrument through the Hot-Mop membrane. "Blocking" is best done with 2"x10" or 2"x12" boards cut to fit between the studs. See the Image to the right.

The "Curb", also called the Damn, is the area that will serve as the entrance to your shower stall. "Curbs" are usually built by stacking either three or four
2"x4"s on top of each other. The minimun height requirement for a curb is
4 1/2", although some people prefer the look of a higher curb and may build it
6" or even 7 1/2" tall.
