What you are looking at

Looking straight down onto the shower curb: the mitred porcelain return is taped along its length, and a string line runs corner to corner across the pan with leveling clips holding the fall true toward the drain.

Why this frame

The most unusual angle in the set and the clearest picture of craft. The string line and the fall to the drain are the whole tolerance argument in one frame.

Stage

Leveling clips hold adjacent panels flush while the mortar cures. The clips get snapped off and thrown away. The flatness is permanent.
