Building a Drop In Bathtub Frame & Drainage - Victorian Home Renovation [TirolerInn]

[@cathysteeves1581]

Plumbing is coming along, will you fit all the plumbing before you glue it together? Do you have a lot left to do? I am amazed at how your brain can figure all those turns and fittings.

[@TirolerInn]

Yes the plan is to fit it all and then have the inspector tell me if he likes it before I glue it all up. That way I don’t have to cut anything if it’s wrong.

You could put in a coffered ceiling to hide to pluming and use screws in strategic places so you can take panels down to get to pipes as needed.

[@laurenarigo3894]

If it interested you I’ve been doing a lot of research on making these ceilings and would be happy to send it to you.

[@TirolerInn]

Yes we were planning on doing some hidden panels for pluming access. The entry area will get coffered ceilings for sure, so feel free to send it our way. Find the email address in the profile page ;)

Hi ....Why do you lay 2 x layers of OSB along the top edge.? Thanks

[@TirolerInn]

We initially planned for a different tub and then changed the height to compensate for it.

Totally agree, just often forget to put them on.

I'm going to be building a frame for my tub soon. What kind of wood and size did you use?

[@TirolerInn]

we were using standard 2x4 framing studs and a double layer of 5/8 water resistant plywood

[@pacsoulpavon9649]

Hey do I need any special curated wood ?
