When faced with a finite deadline on a holiday weekend, do not tear apart your bathroom. Your problems will expand to fill every last bit of the time that you have. Having Saturday, Sunday and Monday before we leave for warmer climes, we tore apart our shower enclosure to replace the tub and surround. We're handy people. We could do this. Of course, this implies that we were given the right parts, could solder joints that wouldn't leak, and bought a RotoZip that in fact had bits included in the box. The good news, the tub is in, not leaking, and effectively does everything a tub should do. The bad news, we have no walls above the tub. Studs and insulation, yes, but no water-tight enclosure. We leave tomorrow. It will not be done. I believe we have in fact written it off. Of course, being our only shower in the house, things may become far dicier before we leave, but hey...it's only a shower, right? In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely holiday, and as many hot showers as you want. You deserve it.
