This is my first post here. Have been checking up on my construction guy's work on our bathroom remodel over the past few weeks. Today he finished up the plumbing on the tub and I have a concern/question. The bathroom is in the basement. We put the tub (Memoirs 5.5 ') over the pre-existing drain that had been used for a shower. He built a subfloor over the basement floor (6"). He put in a trap (1 1/2 diameter) from the tub drain and then it goes over about 9" to the pre-existing drain in the floor (2" diameter). I thought the pre-existing drain in the floor was already trapped and another trap would not be needed. I asked him and he says, "yeah it's probably already trapped". And, it seems the tub drains a little slowly. Is this a double trap, or an s trap with a pre-existing trap in the floor and is this all way wrong, a little wrong or OK and I am just a being a completely obsessive homeowner hoping my 18 thousand dollar BR is perfect? Please be kind. The guy has done a beautiful job with everything. I do think his weak point may be plumbing though. Of course, I really know nothing--that's why I'm here. Thanks, Dave
