What happens here

Begin by removing the existing small shower and the built-in bathtub. This involves using basic demolition tools such as a pry bar, hammer, and stiff putty knife to pull off fixtures and break up wall coverings. Ensure safety by wearing goggles and gloves. Prior to starting demolition, always turn off the main water supply and electricity to the bathroom to prevent accidents.

Goal: Remove the old shower enclosure, bathtub, and surrounding wall materials to prepare for the new construction.

Tools and materials

  • Gloves — Protecting hands from sharp objects and rough materials
  • Hammer — Breaking up materials and providing leverage for the pry bar
  • Knee Pads — Protecting knees during prolonged kneeling on hard surfaces
  • Pry Bar — Prying off old fixtures and loosening materials
  • Reciprocating Saw Milwaukee — Cutting through larger sections of the bathtub and wall materials
  • Safety Goggles — Protecting eyes from flying debris
  • Stiff Putty Knife — Inserting into seams to start pulling off materials

What they say

Hide

it comes to taking on any kind of demo work the three basic tools necessary for the job is a pry bar or a hammer and a stiff putty knife you can't go wrong with these tools to take on almost anything if you have no clue of what to get I'll link some of my favorite tools in the description for you guys to check out if you'd like what am i doing let's not break our legs folks let's be safe one thing I do want to mention to you guys listen a lot of people go like oh I wish I have good skill I wish I somebody Tommy really taught me I'm any formal training I was never in truth what I did do is I broke stuff like this and then I saw how Wu's made as I was breaking and then I tried recreating it but slightly better that's it so try can do it you can do it there really no rules about demo work the only thing that I would advise you is to make sure the plumbing and electrical is turned off to prevent a bigger mess and from that point on just start inserting the putty knife or a pry bar and start pulling things off or better yet hammer it until you can catch some leverage just be safe about it and use goggles and glove and one thing I'll say is if you make a bigger mess well that's just an opportunity to learn how to fix it
