At some point over the next few weeks, I'm going to have to tear out and remove the existing 6' x 42" acrylic garden soaking tub in my bathroom, carry it downstairs, and leave it in front of the house on "bulk trash day", and somehow get the new one upstairs and into position.
Just how heavy and unwieldy IS a tub like this? Are they...
a) Unwieldy, but surprisingly lightweight, all things considered.
b) Draggable across the room, but likely to cause major damage and/or injury if I try moving one up/down the stairs myself
c) So heavy, the possibility of damage and/or injury is almost moot, because I won't be able to meaningfully budge it myself anyway.
I'm guessing that something like an enameled steel tub would clearly and unambiguously fit into category "c", but I'm not sure about acrylic. For comparison, I've managed to get a home gym (even broken down into pieces, the frame parts were ~100 pounds and quite unwieldy), a fully-assembled eliptical cross trainer, a room full of Ikea furniture (one box at a time), and 80-pound full sheets of Dens-shield (armor?) drywall upstairs by myself (the drywall was by far the hardest to get up... it was heavy, unwieldy, and wiggled madly all over the place, all while embedding millions of microscopic needles into my forearms).
If it's unquestionably not something one person can do, is it at least something TWO in-shape guys can pull off?
