I needed something to hold up the shower floor, so I figured left over wood should work just fine. It turns out, putting 2 of them together is exactly the height that I need for said floor.
Yes, I left a "hole" in the one corner so I can run a water line through there to the kitchen side. That should work just fine.

Hope your weekend is going well. Everybody out spending money on things we don't need..... Ah, yea, no.
Anyhow, anyone remember this?
Yea, that's the pattern I used for the the sides of the sink. I took that apart so I could use the wood.

Well, I decided to change my plans just a bit, in the bathroom. After considering my options, I went back to an earlier design where the toilet is at the rear, and the shower area will be next to the kitchen area.
Biggest reason is the height of the ceiling. It is higher towards the front than it is at the back, since the roof is tapered towards the rear a few inches.
That allows me to raise the shower floor a little more towards the front.

After that dried, I added a second coat over the first one, and then coated most of the rest of the cedar.
In this pic, the area in between the arrows has 2 coats, and the rest has only one.
Like I said, I was surprised how much the grain came through.
Why was I looking at this? A gallon of glue is less than $30.
Not sure I will end up using this, but it might be an option.

As you know, if you have followed this thread for a while, I am an inquisitive person. I like to examine some things for myself and make my own decision.
Such was the case, with wood and glue. No, not to join 2 pieces of wood together. I was curious as to how it would work to cover a piece of wood to make it water proof.
So, I took a piece of cedar, and coated part of it with the Titebond 3 that I have just to seed how it would darken the wood.
Titebond doesn't dry fully clear, so I was expecting it to really cover the grain of the wood.
Well, it did darken it a little, but not nearly as much as I thought it would.
The center section here, is where the glue was applied. The rest of the wood has no finish on it at all.

With that properly lined up, I was able to glue and nail the walnut to the face. Yay!
I also cleaned this area out, and started playing with a water tank to see where I want to locate it.
In the background, with the blue arrow, I also started a platform for the shower floor.
It's starting to feel better, more like I am actually getting something done. Wahoo!

Here is what happened. The plywood wasn't quite flush as the space shows here.
When I to put the walnut up here, this is what happened. It would not stay flush top or bottom. Oops.
So, I removed the screws holding the plywood up, and re-aligned the plywood and the 2x3 and screwed it fast again.

Here is what I screwed up the other night.
When I put the plywood frame in place I didn't get it correctly lined up here.
