Install of hydrotherapy bathtub.
Not finished, as I need to get a divertor and showerhead as this is a guest bathroom.
Changing to a 36" wide needed more work, and I would have left the closet partition out until after, but I unscrewed it from the floor to push it out 3/4" to gain room.
The Sharkbite connectors sure beat having to sweat solder in tight spots.

So, you jumped the gun? Counted your chickens before they hatched? Went off half cocked? Put the cart before the horse?So what you are saying is, you did it wrong to start?

$300 for the fucking divertor, and another $140 for trim. Actually I'm not disappointed about paying that, just how fucking long it took me to get someone who understood what a guy with an approximate knowledge of plumbing was doing.Went to Bartle and Gibson(bimbo behind counter knows how to apply fake eyelashes but is without a clue regrading plumbing).Homo Depot, Rona, Home hardware, all suck with just expensive parts for home handymen fixing a toilet flapper.Took a chance on a smaller display shop across street from Splashes, and the somewhat effeminate sales guy LISTENED to me and my wife (?) and actually answered our questions and addressed my method of adding the shower and divertor.4 way/3 way value, set it up for taking premixed water from the bathtub taps, then the divertor routes it back to the tub outlet or up the the shower head.Did the surround in Hardiebacker 1/4" board as it makes tiling down to the tub flange MUCH easier. The guys name ACTUALLY IS "Hardie". And the 3' X 5' sheets make it easy to fill in the space.Now just waiting on the trim kit.
