RE: [VAL] '77 shower help



Hi Daisy,
I don't know if the walls are original but they were plywood with a thin
vinyl covering glued on.  The floor has no indication of water damage, does
not appear to have been replaced but is not level where the wall was.  It
really looks like the plywood floor bowed along the wall line which is odd
as there is very little weight to cause the wood to compress.
