Although I'll certainly think about it.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152219034171337111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984534323050077645.post-78345632292457006152009-06-16T21:46:09.746-07:002009-06-16T21:46:09.746-07:00Unless there's some special reason to keep the...Unless there's some special reason to keep the existing bathtub, I recommend removing it as well and getting yourself a nice 1-piece molded-fiberglass tub/surround instead. You can probably still use your existing faucet hardware, and the maintenance going forward will be significantly easier. This is what we're going to do if we ever have enough money to tear out and replace the back-bathroom shower, including all the water-damaged walls around it from where the original pan corroded and leaked. For the present, Russ has sealed off the drain and we're using it as a storage closet. This at least prevents the damage from getting worse, although chunks of tile fall off the wall from time to time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
