: Any thoughts on positioning a 60" bath into a ~61" bathroom? Can get tub through door if standing, but need ~62" to lay the tub down. Bathtub was replace years ago by two previous owners, so there must be a way. Suggestions? TIA
Vince,
The tub, if light enough, can be picked up and positioned between the walls, between wall studs. Pivot the tub down and into place. The faucet will need to be removed for this. Or if the tub is very heavy, set the tub down near the drain end and let the back end drop down. The apron of the tub will need to drop between the wall studs behind the drywall. You can patch that later. Terry
