Had to pull the tub out. It was the original 1970s tub and it had many cracks, it was squishy when you stepped on it. When I pulled it out I found that 1. The drain was not connected, so all the water was just dumping under the tub and into the hole in the ground. 2. The main drain pipe was rusted and failing.
Fast forward - the draining is all fixed. I can't reinstall a tub with out tearing out a wall. So screw that I'm going to do a shower.
Here is the catch - these freaking pipes!! I can't install a shower wall because these pipes are in the way. Now the grey ridged one I figured I could use a stud shoe and make a hole. But the copper pipes cannot be moved. The plumber quoted me $800 to move the copper pipes and I don't have money like that. So please send me all your best and brightest ideas for solutions! I was hoping to buy a shower pan to go in the bottom.
Much appreciated!!!
