In response to Re: Installing a tub shower
: I have a rental house that I am remodeling, to now sell. The house was originally built with washer and dryer area in place of a standard tub/shower in the master bathroom. It has bi-fold doors that cover the opening. I would like to remove the doors and install a tub and shower surround. The basement is open below. Plumbing is run to the left side of the back wall where the washer sat. : Any suggestions or concerns with this project? The goal is to increase the appraised value as well as make the home more appealing. Reply: Most likely it can be done, especially if the basement has exposed water, drain and vent lines. A project as this would require the job to be filed and inspected by both a licensed electrician and a licensed plumber. A Building Dept. official should inspect & approve the conversion. e-plumber
