Abstract:
A method for making a sloping floor that slopes toward a drain, comprising the steps of:defining a predetermined area of a substantially flat support surface including said drain by positioning on said support surface an upstanding border wall of predetermined height in enclosing relation to said predetermined area;arranging a plurality of straight form members in radial relation to said drain;positioning a radially innermost end of each of said form members relative to said drain so that an upper edge of each of said form members is spaced downwardly from a plane of said drain bad a distance substantially equal to a tile thickness;sizing each of said form members so that each form member has a radially outermost end disposed in abutting relation to said upstanding border wall;dimensioning each of said form members so that the respective radially innermost ends thereof have a common height extent less than a common height extent of the respective radially outermost ends thereof;introducing a predetermined quantity of a cementitious mixture into said predetermined area; andworking said cementitious mixture so that an upper surface thereof is flush with a top edge of each of said form members along the entire extent of said form members.
