Today was a full day of effort on the demolition. Whew – cast iron bathtubs are really heavy. Between the pieces of it and the tile/mortar/lath that come off the wall, the trash guys are going to hate us on Tuesday.
We got all the tile out and the tub broken in half. Gentle persuasion with a big sledge hammer turned out to be the key.
I had a nightmare time getting the caps on the shower supply lines. I’m going to have to work on my pipe sweating skills.
So far the ouch! score is – Injuries requiring first aid – 2 (One cut each for Stan and Ivy from the sharp tile & lath).
Some day 3 photos.
