I'm in the planning phases right now, I wish to remove the original metal bath tub and install a shower (build a pan, seal it, tile it).
I live in the bottom level of a 3 level stacked townhouse complex in Canada built in 1999/2000. Under me is the underground parking garage, I am unsure of how thick the concrete is, but the parking below me is the second level down, not the first, the first parking level does not go under my unit.
I have not done any cutting or removal of the existing tub/walls yet, I'm trying to anticipate if my current metal tub drain and p-trap will be encased in concrete, and if it is, how safe would it be to demo some of the concrete to get to the trap?
I've done some searches but none seem specific to stack townhouses. I don't believe cutting my ceiling to look at the plumbing above me will be a good guage, as the upper levels are built on wood framing/2" concrete, where I'm sitting ontop of the garage.
