Well, this looks like a job for something bigger than duct tape. Dang!
Just about to start ripping bathroom apart to put all new stuff in.
First out is a 1 piece tub/surround in beautiful harvest gold.
Anybody remember these???
Anyways, any obvious tips on how to avoid stupidity is appreciated.
Assumptions on tub from what I"ve read.
1. turn of water before starting
2. Use reciprocating saw to cut tub into pieces to get out of room.
3. disconnect taps, drain.
Now, can drain be disconnected from sitting in the tub? There's now way to see what's underneath without cutting wall.
I am hoping it's like a sink drain where you can spin the top to get it off somehow. (I am guessing there's some of that putty stuff under the chrome drain lip too?
Also it looks like I've got to whack some drywall to get the flange that holds tub in place? correct?
Any tips appreciated while I sip a beer here getting psyched for the weekend.
