That Daily Shower Can Be a Killer

[Warpy]

4. When I finally bite the bullet and have my bathroom redone

I'm seriously considering having the useless tub ripped out and replaced with a much more useful prefab shower that's big enough to accommodate a stool. Not only am I getting up there, I also have rheumatoid arthritis and the tub is getting all too dangerous. It's also too shallow for anyone over the age of 6 to take a real bath in. About all I use it for is sloshing miniblinds clean once a year or stomping out one of the rugs that's too big for the washer that the cat has puked on.

The tub just makes no sense, but I know a contractor is going to try to talk me out of it because of the resale value.
