Dont get me started on tub holes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn carpenters!!!
A tub is 5' long. they come from the factory anywhere from 59 3/4'' to 60 1/4'' depends on enamel thickness
the rough opening for a tub needs to be 5'1/4'' minimum. 5' 1/2'' perfered
not 4' 11/78'' or 5' exactly. that will get the bottom of the wall moved over using a sledge hammer.
I got into a pissing match with a Carpenter over this. He framed the holes a tight 5'
the tubs would not fit, So, I would bump the bottom plate over, set the tub, tell the carpenter to give me a 1/2'' play on the next house.
the next house, same thing. AGAIN
the next house, we knocked the damn wall down,
thru it out the back door
and told him we had to move the wall to make the tub fit. AGAIN
after that. the tub holes were 60 1/2''
I can live with his stink eye, :rofl: as long as the tub holes is correct
