    Replacing 66" tub, suggestions requested.

    Yes, this is a 66" x 28". It fits exactly in that spot. (1940 is my guess) There's probably plaster and lath behind that tub surround. I may get a clawfoot. There won't be the problem of water coming in constant contact with the window and walls. Run the plumbing for the clawfoot tub...

    Gabe, In building out the tub area, yes, seems like the best thing. But what size tub for instance would allow for ease of building out? IOW, if I get a tub that is say, 60" (and I haven't checked for one, I seem to be limitted by the 30" maximum width as to what length the tub will be)...

    Replacing 66" tub, suggestions requested.

    Replacing 66" tub, suggestions requested.

    Replacing the tub is the main concern. There was a shower in this bathroom at one time. It's walled over. Gutting all of the tub surround. The plumbing is accessable from a closet. The drains, pipes under the house and the floor under the tub looking up from underneath the house appear...

    Replacing 66" tub, suggestions requested.

    How would you handle replacing this tub? This is a small bathroom, 6' 10" X 5' 5." Below is a pic. Should I: Replace this tub with a shower only? Replace it with a 4' tub and build a shelf at the back? How would another size larger than 4' length fit in? In other words, what about the gaps...
