We're having a hard time getting in and out of this tub.

Thx terry for input.....If I were to break that out, I would install some plywood below it to catch anything that dropped.
I have never tried cutting a cast iron tub out. Good luck on that one.
It could maybe be lifted. I wouldn't want to be in charge of the medical for anyone trying though.
Loss of work from lifting? I don't think so.
How much is a sheet of plywood?

I haven't done one of those since my 60s, but when i did, I raised the sloping end up, slid a 2x4 under it, the pivoted the other end up and did the same there. Then it was just a matter of sliding it out. This assumes there is a ledge around it, not set into the walls.

Actually, how about SEVERAL of those. I would suggest he not swing the hammer over his head if the end is going to fall off and he doesn't know about wedges. I would have had THAT tub out of the recess in a lot less time than they took, and I would NOT have had any cast iron or enamel to sweep up.
This is awkward, but...
