How To Install A Bathtub And Shower Wall Set!

Do you want to increase your property value by updating your bathtub and shower surround?! Many people want to renovate their old bathtub and shower surrounds, but lack the basic information needed to tackle the job. I've tried to provide as much information as I could in the shortest period of time so that people would know whether or not they felt comfortable with the scope of the project. The bathtub and shower that I used was a Delta 400 Classic 32" x 60" with the matching Delta 400 wall set. Together they only cost me $770, although if you bundle off of HD website, its $537. I also used a Delta products for the plumbing fixtures. I checked the reviews and they seemed to be good in comparison with many other manufacturer's and tubs. The only negative review that I consistently read was that the "felt flimsy," however, I haven't read any reviews talking about cracks in the tub or surround (unlike others), so I decided to go with it! It does lack rigidity along the tub rail and flexed a little whenever I stood on it while working. If you are heavier than me (170 lbs) you might consider using a step stool instead of standing on the exterior of the tub. Another great feature this tub offers, it doesn't require a mortar bed, which it my book is a plus, because it's one less step. I decided to convert the copper to pex because pex is easy to work with, however I will note that the interior dimension of pex is slightly smaller than copper which can reduce your water pressure slightly (if that's super important to you). If y'all have any questions, feel free to let me know!
