    Sealing holes in sub floor

    Well what I ended up doing was laying a shingle down then I put the hardware cloth over that but i left one side un nailed and shot form up though the open side then nailed it all shut. I have no holes under the house anymore!!! I got 2 mice last night in traps baited with Peanut butter.

    Sealing holes in sub floor

    Type S Mortar bed for tub

    Oh I see, thanks for the info! There is about a 6 by 6 inch area under the the where I didn't put mortar since it was so close to the drain but looking at it from under the house it wont affect the drain at all should I mix a little bit of mortar and shove it into that void?

    Type S Mortar bed for tub

    This is semi off topic but why does the manufacture say not to use a ledger? I didnt use one since the manual said not to but I dont understand why that would harm anything.

    Uneven fiberglass Tub

    Ok well when I pulled this tub out and sat in it at HD it seemed to be decent. But after installing it the tub seems like a piece of crap. I guess this is just because I have an un even floor and did not follow directions to the T? They are actually sending me a replacement tub, the exact same...
