[Greenbuilding] DIY sloped tiled shower floor, simple version?

[RT]

Reuben;
Can't see any sketch and I don't know what you've seen on-line but IMO,  
plopping down some mortar on top of an EPDM pan is a lot easier and  
quicker nd ultimately less costly in terms of time and materials  than  
futzing with wood and cement board to make a sloped shower floor tile base.

re: No curb

Let's say the shower drain gets plugged with hair (or worse) and someone  
has turned on the shower and let it run unattended (or similar) and a few  
gallons of water have not found their way down the drain.  Could easily  
happen.

How does the "no curb" design handle such a scenario ?  Is there a gutter  
somewhere else that leads to a drain ?
