Curbless shower -down to dirt

Hello everyone! I was hoping to get some thoughts about this project I’m doing. This is the main master shower. They wanted a curbless instead. So, we went down 3 inches. (We are not redoing any other tile in the bathroom, so we do have to meet the existing floor tile) This photo shows the removal of the original shower floor. What you see here is some dirt, some of the original foundation, rebar and plastic from initial build. My question here is, what is the best way to set the recessed floor at this point? We are in Florida if that helps. I was wondering what other proven tried and true methods anyone has used. Concrete, mud, barrier? (Not in that order) We are using a shower pan. Thank you! submitted by /u/Additional_Dish9200 [link] [comments]
