Hello all,
I'm planning to install the Kohler Villager in my bathroom in the next week and I'd like to get some expert advice if possible. I've got the old fiberglass tub out of there already. It's going over a concrete slab that looks to be in good shape. There's a little bit of a low point in the rear corner furthest away from the wall. Not too bad. There's a large square cutaway in the slab to allow for the drain pipes.
I'm planning to use three 2x4s as ledgers on the three surrounding walls. I'm also thinking I'll need to use metals shims under the tub's feet since the slab isn't perfectly level.
Does this sound like the right way to go so far?
Also, how on Earth am I going to hook up the drain/overflow pipe? I can't get in thru the surrounding walls or the floor. This is my biggest question mark so far.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
