House has 1 1/2 baths. The main one is small (11x5) and has a stall

get redone. I wouldn't have a problem using the tub as a shower and
using the space the stall shower takes up to put in a big sink/vanity
like the Significant Other wants, but several friends say that a
separate shower is a big convenience and selling point. Apparently
many people won't consider buying a house without a stall shower.
I suppose the correct answer is to do whatever we want to do. Neither
of us is quite near an age where climibing over a tub wall is a big
challenge. Still, I was shocked at the number of people who told me
that I'd be crazy to remove a stall shower.
Take out the stupid tub and leave the shower. *The only thing even close to
being as useless as a tub is a shower in one.
I *think a tub comes in handy, particularly as we get older. Lying in
hot water, does seem to make things better. Of course, I haven't done
it in a year or two.
These rowhouses are really starter houses and folks often trade up and
move further from the city. So having a tub is important for young
families with young kids. That doesn't describe our situation though.
