I'm gutting my master bathroom and planning to move the tub to the opposite wall. The tub currently happens to be located adjacent to a load-bearing wall, but I assume that flooring is generally designed to be able to handle the load of a tub and that there is no problem from a weight or structural perspective if I move it anywhere in the room.
If I think about it logically, the tub fully loaded with water would weigh well under 1000 pounds. So it would work out to the equivalent of having three to five 200-pound people standing in a 30"x60" area, which should be no big deal. ....or else houses would be falling around all over the place when people get together.
Am I missing something or are my assumptions correct?
