Be A Plumber's Helper And Save On Bath Remodeling

iles of track!

Thousands of cast-con-
scious home remodelers
these days are bringing their
old-fashioned bathrooms up
to dalte—at prices they can
afford,

How do they do it?

Instead of turning the
entire project over to a pro-
fessional, they. arrange be-
forehand with their local
licensed plumbing contrac-
tor to do much of the less
skilled preliminary work
themselves. And they rely
on their contractor te help
them select a new bath or

shower unit that is specially .

designed for trouble-free,
labor-saving installation.
Most plumbing contrac-
tors will be happy. to work
out a deal to have the home-
owner do prelimisiary clear-
ing-away to prepare for
installation of the new bath-

ing fixture.

This will involve you in
two basically simple opera-
lions: :

Removing the tub sur-
round: Most new-tub instal-
lations require taking off
the old, cracking tile area
surrounding the tub, For a
new fixture like an Owens:
Corning Fiberglas Tub/
Shower Unit~which comes
with {ts own watls—-you
simpty remove the plaster
completely, lo expose the
studs, Use an ordinary ham-
mez, wear work gloves, and
make the kids earn their
allowances by carrying out
the old tile and plaster,

Removing the old tab:
Usually the best way to do
it ia to get a friend or two
to help you carry It out of
the house, If it proves too
heavy or bulky, ask your
contractor for advice an
breaking it up into smaller
pleces hefore ramovel.

AS EASY AS 1-2-3-4—When

a homeowner can cooperate

with his contractor to save

A smart choice today
might be a four-piece
Owens-Corning Fiberglas
shower or tub/shower unit.
Its three walls plus tub or

in cartons that fit through
any standard door, averting
costly door removal or wall-
hreaking. The components
are precision-molded for
watertight assembly, making

well as your wall and
curtain colors.

This means if you get the
urge to paint the walls a dif-
ferent color in the future,
you can easily replace the
vinyl panel for perfect col-
or coordination.

Whatever your ideas are
for your bath remodeling,
it's « good idea to consult
with your licensed neighhor-
hood contractor in the early
stages.

He can show you ways to
meet your family hath
needs within your home's
slructurat limitalions, For
example, the 54-inch com-
