Acquire and Install New Tub

to reply more go return it so we need a right-sided 248 bucks so far um under 250 bucks i think it's a good one uh the bathtub like i said about roughly 250 bucks the glass is from my budgeting i think it's also about 250 bucks and for the wall tile i'm guessing is going to be about 200 bucks now my goal with the shower is to get it i don't know at least 100 or 200 bucks under budget uh under a thousand dollars that's the budget all right so here's our first issue installing the tub they want a um like a support brace to be um underneath this lip uh i still have a gap right here that's uh thickness of a stud i'll have to get a stud two by four run it from there to there and then to that stud put up a like a one by three or something like that and then that one by three is what's going to be supporting this piece there they want this tub to be secure to the studs but they want uh like a roofing nail to be betw just the head of the roofing nail to be pressing this against the studs all the way around including the bottoms it's weird never seen that before but i would imagine they'd put screws but then again screws make sense you don't want to put them because then they'll leak into it now that i'm saying out loud it makes 100 this is my very first time doing an actual bathtub installation so we just learned something together congratulations we'll take it to the next build [Music] all right so everybody knows that it's not a mr bullet project unless we run into some hiccups well we found some hiccups that's not a line the 2x4 was wrong because if the two by four was there and the one by two this would be spaced out way too far yes this would be lined up perfect but this has to be flush against the studs so underneath there behind there it's just a one by two supporting this ledge so now we can put our kerdi-backer board against this and it will flow everything inside and nothing will go over the unfortunate part is i have to move that over which that part is easy it's a couple of screws but that here i have to go in my crawl space chop it off move it and then secure it so no problem it's just you know how it is
