I demolished a cast iron recessed tub in a house built in 1948. Not sure if the salmon colored tub was original (seems like a very '70's color). I found dirt packed between the joists.
Why would someone pack dirt under the tub ? Is this what was done in "the past" in lieu of mortar ?
May I remove the dirt without negative impact ?
I'm replacing tub with another CI.
