As some of you may remember I have been SLOWLY working on a MASSIVE, complete renovation of the lower level of the house Friday night I plumbed in the drain for the new Kitchens sink, well the under the sink portion, still gotta run it over to the sump pump and connect to the Vent stack, so to get it "rigged" up I ran a piece of pipe through the wall because the bathtub was on the other side of the wall and just had the sink draining into it, then I decided to remove a section of drywall that should NEVER have been installed (the bathroom was drywalled BEFORE the Tub was installed) and that left little support for the tub but gave me access to the drain to disconnect the tub, so I pulled the tub out, cleared out the remaining bits of drywall behind the tub, then got to looking at things and decided to pursue the idea of a larger tub (or maybe going full on shower) to that end I had to solve 1 MAJOR issue, the centerline of the toilet was 12-13 inches from the edge of the tub (WAY TO CLOSE, code minimum is like 15" and recommended at 18"), so I get to checking some dimensions in the room where my Fridge is and other things and I come up with that I can move the wall 10" giving me room for a FULL SIZE tub (not this 14" tall 60x30 piece of crap kiddie tub) and so OUT GOES THE WALL. no longer is this a kids bathroom (toilet will be replaced with a taller one when I do the Tile work and the pedestal sink will be replaced with a Vanity with a Vessel Sink.
Next weekend we build the new wall and get working on moving the plumbing to a new location to suit whichever option I go with.
