Thanks for the advice on exhaust fans. I'll ask the electrician about those. I guess the quieter, the better. As for the water table thing -- I doubt the water table is high. We live in an urban area, in a nice neighborhood of custom homes on 1/4 acre each, and our house is nearly at the top...

Sorry, no clue about the water table level, and I wouldn't know who to ask. I guess my dilemma is, not knowing how sunken tubs are built, I don't know if there is wood underneath there or not. Do you?
