I really want to change my normal tub with a deep soaking one; I also want to have jets with it; My husband has informed me that no way can this is not possible.
- I have a big family powder room.
I am not afraid to mess around with the configuration. If a closet needs to be removed or a vanity shortened, so be it. My husband says that the floor joists won’t support such a heavy tub… Also, the plumbing would be too difficult, however thankfully there is a local plumber who I have used time and time again, however he has helped me with all sorts of problems like drain line service, gas line repair and septic systems being pumped. I am confident he can handle my tub issue. I don’t really know what the difference would be with a deep soaking. It still would drain water like a normal tub. I recognize the jets might affect the plumbing a bit? The weight of the tub is much more and it is a bit broader. I don’t recognize that should be a problem… Yes, the floor joists are angled in a way for a particular sized tub. I recognize by calling a handyman and coordinating with the local plumber, something can be done about this. I really like the idea of using my normal bathtub like a hot tub. I want to be able to relax on colder afternoons with a book. It would be much cheaper than a hot tub and I recognize I would use it more if it was inside of my home.
