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.

Your plumber will tell you heforehand that a major conalderation in chavsing a new fixture in ita ease of
