Transcript:
All right so if you noctice there's screws you that hold supposed to hold that's stripped, sort of. Ahh, a broken tip on top of that. OK. You know seems like four or five of those and I took out every. All right, so all these screws you stripped out. That's not always the case, but at least partially you need a screwdriver or something, or a hand to hold up to it. You see, there's a lot around bathtubs.

This is a quick way to run water. You should have a sealant right there but dresses up in this edge. What the factory did and they don't have to be terribly tight. All that come over pretty good sized gap. OK, then they have a screw right here.

Into a stud holding it. And another one over here. And one right here.

If I was concerned about saving this tub and putting it back or something, I would go underneath and pull the drain out and take this panel here off, which we will do and disconnect it and then lift it out. But I'm not interested in saying this. Nobody wants to harvest gold. Uh, tub and, uh or it's not really harvest gold.

A slight yellow. So this is the original color, and it faded to darker color. But nobody wants this, so I'm going to cut it up in pieces. In this garden tub arrangement is just not up to par by any other thing. So we will cut this thing in pieces, and that means I will tear out the wall around it and that's what we're doing next.

Normally you'd have to get a pry bar and mess around with it. But it's not really build a strong. So I'm going to pull it up it. Usually, it's held on by screws. That's what's scratching the wall there. But I'm gonna be fixing all that. So we'll, uh pry bar that up. It looks like they got a mechanical vent there. But we won't need that. We'll have to go underneath. You can cut it, cap it.

Umm, you might could use the mechanical vent inside the wall. But I want to be careful about doing that because not want to go to the roof because they just put a brand new roof on. So we're going to go back and forth to this doorway. So I'm going to take the door out, since it's just going out anyway.
