What happens here

The demolition process begins by removing the existing shower head and faucet. The worker then uses a utility knife to cut approximately 2 inches along the sides and top perimeter of the fiberglass shower surround. This reveals tabs or screws behind the drywall that secure the unit to the wall studs. A hammer is used to gently tap and pry the edges, releasing the fiberglass. The shower control handles and drain cover are also removed. The fiberglass panels are then carefully pried and removed, exposing the underlying wall studs and plumbing.

Goal: The existing showerhead, faucet, and fiberglass surround are removed. This involves cutting around the perimeter of the fiberglass unit and detaching it from the studs.

order to take out these showers they're they're kind of simple but a little bit pain in the butt usually you want to cut out about two inches on the sides and the top and there you'll see a tab that goes behind the drywall with the screws secured into the studs once you get that on done that usually kind of pops off and then this has a screw there and a screw underneath that comes off just it's like it's just like dancing with a mattress it's gonna be a little awkward but we'll get her done [Music]
