Too relatable. Whenever a customer says "I just want to replace the tub" I immediately explain that the corner bead is coming out, the drywall on the far wall is out at least the width and height of the tub, and potentially some framing until it slides in no problem. I've wrestled way too many times trying to fit 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag.
A good one for famous "instagram vs reality" category. No-one believes me when I start telling my scary "tub setting stories" around the camp fire. 🤣🤣🤣 Go BRT, GO!
Just to dry fit 😂. I kept telling my husband we need to dry fit the tub we’re installing this weekend. We’ll have no shower for 10 people until we get it installed and finished ! Fingers crossed for a one day installed!
Just been thru the exact same thing, my customer went from a one piece shower/tub to a four piece. The home was built in 1978, the plumbing and drain did not line up, the subfloor concrete had a hump, etc. Good job on getting it in there brother.
Yeah, when I give prices for installing new tubs I always price for this scenario, sometimes you get lucky with the really flexible tubs and can set them without removing studs.
Love when things go from 0 to 60 in the drop of a hat but when it happens at work. Ffs lol. I always tell people if you see me walking with a big hammer or the recip saw things are about to get ugly.
A friend of mine used to say, “Sometimes you have to talk to it a little bit.” And if he was still having trouble he would go get a bigger hammer and say, “Sometimes you have to talk to it a little louder!” I would just get out of the big man’s way.
Ok so he created more work because the measure was incorrect. You have to give half inch bigger than your actual measurement it will avoid you a hard time
Having an alcove to slide the tub in like that is the most optimal…sometimes the room is the size of the tub which is much harder…somthing is wrong with the framing and should have been addressed/fixed prior to installing the tub…and I doubt he put mortar under it. You get what you pay for

I love that you show the realities of remodeling and don't just edit to everything going perfectly. I can relate to the struggle in this clip!
Me too all my projects work out like this
I don't understand how that bath tub didn't fit, the standard size is 5 feet

Tub is in. Next episode- how to repair buckling walls after removal of support beams.
😂😂
😂😂😂
thats pretty funny but i doubt anything will happen
I doubt it was structural and he can fit the cut wood back in
😂

seriously - what is the point of a tub you can't lay in anyway ..... sexy shower all the way!
I'm thinking that when framing in the tub area I usually make the space 1/4" longer than the tub.... it's easier to fill space than make space.
it'll still be like this haha
I bet you're glad they didn't want cast iron
Looks about like how all my projects go!
Im not sure why this was so funny. But, this is literally me every single time I perform this task. Maybe funny because it's so accurate.. lol
I can relate to that. With a few “oh come onnn” in there.
Nice to see a pro have a good fight and win in the end
😂been there done that! I had to open a hole in a living room wall and slide it in from there. I feel your pain!
Just to dry fit 😂. I kept telling my husband we need to dry fit the tub we’re installing this weekend. We’ll have no shower for 10 people until we get it installed and finished ! Fingers crossed for a one day installed!
What I love about this video is that it shows EXACTLY how hard some projects are and I’m not the only one that has a hard time when doing projects😁🤣🤣🤣
props to you for showing the truth.
That's why the framer always leave a 2 inch gap on each side he sure loves to make the plumbers job easy
Haha, this gave me a good chuckle...
This dude is always just knocking out jobs.
Tell me you've never installed a tub without telling me you've never installed a tub
Lol 😅the fun I have with tubs. I think only one every fit first time go.
I feel your pain brother!😢
I remove the bottom 1/2in the stud on the side that is in the air (to begin with). Works every time. Sister in a stud!
Lol...i feel his pain!😂
Just when you think “ok I’m gonna drop this tub in today” and end up doing demo and frame work. Gotta love it
I feel you on that one
I’m rolling right now 😂
Been there...love the content 💪💪💪
Its a thing of beauty when that tub finally just drops in😂
Just been thru the exact same thing, my customer went from a one piece shower/tub to a four piece. The home was built in 1978, the plumbing and drain did not line up, the subfloor concrete had a hump, etc. Good job on getting it in there brother.
Sweet! I thought it was just me. Thanks for showing the "wtf's"
This is exactly when ide convince the homeowner that a shower would look much better 😂😂😂
Real life, i love it!
I like putting a bucket of thinset or foam under the tup when i set them in😊
Kids, this is Exactly how a 15min job turns into 2 hrs
Haha, this is friggin hilarious.
Was there any studs left?
😂
So he is human, this me everytime I do any project
I feel you
Cut the whole house down but we have a tub
Facts bro facts!!
Hey, that tub goes upstairs.
Yeah, when I give prices for installing new tubs I always price for this scenario, sometimes you get lucky with the really flexible tubs and can set them without removing studs.
How much do you usually charge?
Isn't the standard size 5 feet? If a standard 5 feet tub was removed, why shouldn't a 5 feet tub be able to replace it?
Steve, you're the best man!!!
Been there got the whole badge collection
😂😂😂😂 tub first, framing last I guess!!!
How could the bath tub not fit? Isn't the standard size 5 feet long?
legends say, u place the tub and then build the bathroom around it
Yup! Everytime
Mines was too a nightmare
🤣🤣🤣🤣 F me the struggles real lol
I hate doing this 😂 it always suck
He called his wife and said “ I am so glad this is not cast iron”…
Proof!!! That it’s not just me😅
It’s a bit easier just to measure everything make sure it’s square before setting tub, pulling out, setting tub, pulling out and so on…
Mother of pearl. At the end of that fitting I would have no hair on my head.
Very relatable. Persistence in construction is a requirement.
I did this same thing the first tub swap. Second tub swap i left the top of the studs tacked loose and put em on layout afterwards. Worked well.
Always fun alone!

Not sure about this situation for you but I just use a plainer to make them fit.
Warped wall frames from moisture over the years
Tearing out the all room to made it fit, I thought that only happened to me.
Replacing a bathtub is a pain in the ass 🤦🏻
Yes… this is really how you put in a darn garn bathtub…😂😂😂😂❤❤😂
Just leaving the studs out?
the worst guy doing the simplest task really shows you why you never hire a hack
😂
Well at least there was one stud left lol
Focusing on the wrong wall of alcove-cut out the lower section of drywall on the right
You just cut a bean. It could be a support beam. That is a no no.😮
Something I would do lol 😂
The damn truth....
Now fix them load bearing walls and studs
I've done that before😅😂
Lol if it wasn’t for back luck we’d have no luck at all
Any leaks lol gg
Yup looks like any standard plumber I've ever seen.
I believe you’re copying my process to a T 😂
Now to take it back out and line up plumbing.. after that take it out again to pour some motar … I hate tubs
Meanwhile I’m swearing my ass off trying to do something simple.
Power wood planer 🤔
EVERY DAMN TIME
He did not get an A in math.
Maybe try going straight in??? Going in sideways I guess makes for a perfect TH-cam video
I’m glad my bathroom remodeling is going smoother than this.
Could of been worse..a cast iron tub😊
Must’ve been a Monday
Try using a tape measure before ordering bath 😅
I’d be ready to walk away! 😢
This caused brain damage. Those "done in one day" "BathFitter" jobs don't have this problem do they?😂
You had plenty of room to go straight in
just you have to cut the Sheetrock
Amateur. Just cut the bath in half and use trim caulking to put it back together next time
i'd start using the F word like a comma
Buy a size to fit 😂
Ok so he created more work because the measure was incorrect. You have to give half inch bigger than your actual measurement it will avoid you a hard time
😂😂😂😂😂😂
When in doubt….Cut it out!
Please don’t follow this man’s instructions for installing a tub I beg you 😂😂 everything about this video is so wrong on so many levels
Having an alcove to slide the tub in like that is the most optimal…sometimes the room is the size of the tub which is much harder…somthing is wrong with the framing and should have been addressed/fixed prior to installing the tub…and I doubt he put mortar under it. You get what you pay for
Junk tub
You have to totally compromised the structural integrity of that entire house by cutting those studs before squaring them off
