While I'm in my bathroom, I noticed that I could replace the bathtub
with one that is two inches deeper. That would make for better baths.

I could also, without even going past the tile, get a tub that is two
inches wider. The problem with that is that the drain in the tub
would then be half that distance (1 inch) from the drain in the house.

It might not be the same distance from the wall where my feet go, also,
unless that is totally standardized. ???????

Do they have a simple remedy for offsetting a bathtub drain an inch or
maybe more? This is the most important question in this post!!


Any other reason why not to put in deeper or wider bathtub? 2nd most.



Do I need to reinforce the floor under the tub?

2"d x about 48"l x 18"w (last two are estimates) = 1/6' x 4' x 1.5' =
1/6 x 6 sq.ft.= suprisingly exactly 1 cubic foot.= 62 pounds. I guess
I could test by putting 62 pounds of extra weight plus me and the water
in the bathtub now and see if it creaks as I add the extra weight. ??




Or I could lose 62 pounds of my own weight. Well that wouldn't help
because when I bend my legs so my neck is at the water line, most of my
body is displacing water, and if I were thinner, I'd just add more water
to get the water line to the same place. The worst thing would be if I
stood up to leave while the tub was full of water. No, that's no worse
than if I were sitting down. No one adds water after they stand up,
unless they shower next but then they open the drain. Random thoughts
by that guy on SatNightLive just after it was funny.
