Once the mortar bed was down it was time for the liner... Now this my friends was HARD! The membrane is very thick and could not be cut at all to accomodate any imperfections because of the possibility of leaks. The corners are solvent-weld together and then the greenboard is installed over the liner.
You will notice I also had to make some adjustments to the copper pipe and re-insulate it. I extended the copper pipe to raise the shower head and capped off the water line that went to the tub.
I installed the new upper drain plate and checked for leaks in the liner... We were good to go. After this the greenboard started to go up... very very slowly!!
The next step is to tape and seal all the corners and seams with thinset and then I will put down the shower floor (mortar bed) on top of the liner and reinforce it with wire mesh. This is the last step before I get to start tiling. As a side note, if anyone ever needs help with hanging greenboard or drywall... DON'T ASK ME! The floor is not straight... the walls are not straight and even with perfect cuts it is a stinkin' mess!! (Just had to vent a little :)
