DIY glass partition designing?
We just bought a new (to us)home built in 2007 on a crawl space. The master shower was not designed for 6'5" 250#
Guy's! My head is over the top and I can barely get out of the sliding doors. Don't laugh at the picture! OK you can laugh..😆
I want to:
Questions:
-Can this be done?
-How would I do the glass partition and where would I get --What I assume is a custom peice of glass?
Pan or walkin?
-tap into the supply lines from under the house to move them to the opposite wall?
-Any kits available at lowes or HD that can be bought and modified.
Thanks
Wade!

I want to:
- make a half wall glass partition between shower and tub.
- move the supply lines to the opposite wall and include the body sprayers.
- extend the shower out into the room flush with the wall separating shower and tub
- tile the shower
Use a top roller style door?

Yeah I am not crazy about installing the glass unless it was a straight forward kit. But like you said it would probably be a custom job.
The tile isn't an issue. I have done Floors so vertical tile can't be much different.
I am thinking about removing the closet and expanding the width of that area.

Depends on your budget. You can buy a preformed pan on line, do the tile and plumbing yourself and have a pro install frameless glass.
I would consider a rain type shower head from the ceiling. If you are moving the plumbing it wouldn't add much additional work. A preformed pan (I've installed several from Tile Redi) can be installed in a couple of hours and tiled the next day.
