I agree with Heath, put in an adapter to get it up to where you want it then possibly use some shower pan concrete mix to taper it down.
What are you putting over it for flooring?

That's what I'm thinking. But, who am I kidding, I have no say in the interior decorating scheme.
I was actually surprised that Terry bought into the bare concrete in the first place. Friends of ours built an earth contact last year. They cut their concrete into 32" squares at an angle with the building. Caulked the cuts using black caulk. Then rolled on two coats of sealer. I didn't tell Terry about it. Just let her walk in. She wasn't in there one minute before she said she liked the flooring. Asked Leah what type of marble tile this was? Joe said it's just sealed concrete. Terry said but how did you get it to look marbled like that? Joe said it's power trowel swirls. Terry moved on to other things. The next day she brought it up and said she'd like to try that. YES!!!! That saved us a lot of money!!!! So, we'll try it. If she doesn't like it we'll start buying floor coverings as money is available.
