Replacing an Old Bathtub with a Clawfoot Tub

Thanks to television On Demand, I was recently introduced to short home renovation video clips from the DIY network. I checked out the DIY network website and found several other informative videos and step by step instructions on how to complete various household projects.

I came across instructions on how to replace an old bathtub and install a new clawfoot tub. The site discusses the difficulty level (a 3 on a scale of 1-5), the necessary materials, and exactly what to do. The site also displays a photo for each step of the way.

To complete the installation of a new clawfoot bathtub from beginning to end you will need to:

• Complete demolition of old tub and surroundings
• Remove pipes and set tiles
• Grout tile for walls and floor
• Install new plumbling and fixtures
