I’m going to say that we jump ahead sorta like they do on the you fix it yourself.

“Home repair.”

Home repair... Burrup, and now we're in here. I had a lot of company at the time we were putting down the linoleum.

I would have showed you guys quite a bit a journey on how to you have to put it in with excess, get it straight, kick it by standing in the corner and kicking this side anyway, there's a lot of work and perhaps that would be a whole other. I'd rather not even show anybody how to do linoleum. But anyway, it's done this glued down because there's going to be a big ol cart rolling on this.

I have my concerns as that we're not in last. But then because of the concerns of having five and a half inches, we built a frame. Now you might wonder why this one sticking out more than that one. The drainpipe is going to drop down into that. Beings it's going to be a lot of weight in water and in a person.

We put studs on six inch centers and then we just put stiffeners in there. We're going to put plywood on top of that. So beings this is a job that hasn't been done before by me. I'm saying this is going to be enough and I certainly hope it will be. And that's.

Let me put my coat on because it got colder. I'm trying to look on because I forgot it here and now I'm going to make sure I carry it out with me anyway.

But I am standing with my 260 lbs on the platform, which will hold the tub and let the lift go underneath it. But in the process, we found out that there was no gasket on the bottom of the existing tub and the plumbing didn't have any support. Which we, it's now steadier, but the plumbing didn't have enough supports. We're going to fasten that and we're going to change the length because we came up nine and a half inches of the down at the spout, the bathtub spout.

And we're going to put two shut offs down here so that you can reach through. Found out that this column is one inch lower than this column, so we're going to fix that. We found out the bottoms are thinner, then the tub so we're going to fix that.

We're going to change the face of this. So we're having to do a lot. Which is normal, but this is how it's going.
