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 giant family bathroom. 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. Thankfully there is a local plumber who I have used time and time again. He has helped me with all sorts of issues 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 guess 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 think that should be a problem. Yes, the floor joists are angled in a way for a certain sized tub. I think 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 days with a book. It would be much cheaper than a hot tub and I think I would use it more if it was inside of my home.
