Raised floor for plumbing in bathroom.
So instead of breaking concrete we built the floor up to accommodate the plumbing.
The bathroom floor was previously raised about 10 extra inches relative to the rest of the floor for drain pipes that were run above the slab.
The raised drainage platform was a necessity because the main drain the big black one on the right in the first picture did not have a place where we could connect the bathroom drainage to the rest of the house s drainage.
This can be done by adding more osb or by placing tile.
