So here's an update on this purchase. The stuff came in today. And I haven't touched the shower floor in 2 weeks, so it was pretty dirty.
Here's a quick dry shot (before I took a shower)
I wasn't sure if that really showed off the dirt, so here's a shot after taking a shower.
I sprinkled the Bon ami powder on there, and connected my drill gun. It took me around 5 minutes of "scrubbing" by walking the spinning drill around the shower. I used 2 different bits. The larger disc, then also the rounded one. That allowed me to do the corners, as well as the edges of the drain. I'm really happy with the results, especially with how easy this was.

Do you have a basement or how/where is this bathroom situated. If this is a house you rent, this will need to be fixed today or in so many years. Do you have access to a crawlspace? This all ready looks like its leaking or will leak any minute. It looks like I can push a screwdriver through it all ready.
If you have a basement, I wouldnt keep anything nice under this area where the shower is.
*retired plumber, Ive fixed hundreds of these types of things in Chicago.

It's a 20 story high rise apartment building. Around 200 units in this building with a matching one right next door. I live in a complex called the Mauna Luan in Hawaii Kai. All are privately owned, but some are owned with long term rentals. My own unit included. The entire building has iron pipes (The building was constructed back in '75). When leaks occur, the buildings management system hires a plumber(s) to come out and correct the situation. The unit above my own had a leak in their shower stall. Plumbers had to access my unit to cut open my ceiling and replace the lines with new plastic ones. Then repair the ceiling. It's something that our monthly maintenance fees cover.
As for looking weak, you'd be surprised. Maybe they used thick wall tube, but I've already snaked the drain when I moved in here to fix a clog. Everything feels very solid.

why do plumbers and mechanics always make everything sound dire? HOLY SHIT you're lucky you brought the car in when you did, you really needed to change the air freshener in your car. you could have had a bad smell.

Pats is shit. Geno's is also. You want a good steak? My favorite thus far is from this real piece of garbage hole in the wall place called Liberty Steaks & Hoagies on MacDade Blvd over by Widener University.
It was incredible. I like that they actually have a large chunk of beef & use a meat slicer. Most places just use pre-packaged meat.

I like bacon now and then but I hate cooking it. If I cook it inside, I have to clean the stove, the backsplash and the countertop because of the splatter. I end up outside using a camp stove and griddle but even that's a mess because you can't put away a dirty stove and there's the griddle and the table and yada yada. I fucking hate it but it tastes so good.
So I'm at Best Buy today just wasting time when I see this.
The Bacon Express. That dark gray surface you see is a non-stick piece of removable sheet metal and there's a door on each side (one is open in this picture) that have a removable silver sheet metal splash and there's a drip tray that slides out from underneath. You hang the bacon on the gray part, close the doors and push the black button which is also a timer. When it turns off and dings at you, open the doors and remove your food.
The metal parts wipe clean or you can put them in the dishwasher. Same with the grease trap. No muss, no fuss; no spatter anywhere and here's the best part. It costs $14.
