So what I need is a bathtub taken out and a walk in shower put in. Must be licensed and bonded company. I want a firm price before any work would start. Right now home depot is getting me a price from a sub contractor.

Dry rot being the biggest one, a myriad of others can follow. I used to do bathrooms for a living, you never know what you will find when you open the walls up. I am about to do both of mine, I expect some unseen issues. _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.

Walk in like roll in (curbless) or is a 4" "hump" okay? The difference is quite a bit of money. You can sawzall that tub, pull the tile, install a new pan and tile the walls. Home Depot DIY book. Make it a fun family project.

Do it yourself. Or better yet, include the wife. It's awesome.

A little bump so that water doesn't come out. Mother in law has a hard time stepping over the tub.

If it isn't something you need immediately, you can always do the demo yourself. That way any "surprises" are uncovered before a contractor even sets foot inside.
We basically re-did our bathroom ourselves. I dislike plumbing, but just use lots of plumbing tape and you should be fine (at least 5 turns of the stuff). _________________ Massivedesign wrote: I am thinking of a number somewhere between none of and your business. |

I want it to be a one day thing. That and I am not paying for it. It's my house but my mother in law wants it so she is paying the bill.

Regardless if there is a contractor there or not. Demo will take a day, prep may take another, installation another. If there is any sheetrock that needs to be put in, with mud/tape, plan on another day. Then paint, caulking etc. Are you going to get a permit? Because now you are changing your bath from a full bath to a 3/4, when you go to sell it may flag with the County as an un-permitted modification. I personally wouldn't permit it.. But if you do, add 4 weeks, and a day for inspections. In a PERFECT world, plan for AT LEAST 3 days. |
