oliver2-44 11,644 #1 Posted Friday at 07:36 PM Why can’t our tractor hobbies have schedules like these remodel jobs So my middle son and family went to his in-laws in New Jersey. They stay at the family beach house 2 blocks from the “shore”. In Texas we call it beach, but north it’s the shore. He rents this house from me that I added on to\remodeled 5 years ago. At the time I didn’t replace the cultured marble shower in the original bathroom, but added a new master bath. So the day after they leave my wife says NOW sure would be a good time to replace that shower with a tub for the grandkids. As some of you know when grandma says it’s for the grandkids kids there is NO negotiating. I knew getting a 60” long tub in a 60” wide room was going to be fun. So here’s the old to be removed. the shower pan came up and slid over the old drain pipe Chiseling the concrete out of that original box out was a 1/2 day job, but I was done for the day. No pictures but the original drain needed to move 1” right and roughly 5” forward. It was a pain to get perfect for the new tub to fit. Pex B and valves roughed in Hardied Backer installed ready for Redcote to seal it and seams. I love the new style tile spacers that level the face of the tile. I need a 1/2” by 2 chrome nipple for a hand shower and final cleaning. 5 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hire and direct. Too much bodily wear and tear. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 67,537 #5 Posted 22 hours ago Seems like the majority of the bathroom remodeling advertising you see on TV are removing the tub so us old fogies can walk into a shower rather than trip into a tub. Are you starting a new trend to go back to the tub? Nice job, you did a very nice job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
