Finally we have running water in the tub and the wirlpool works great. For those of you that know me this is a big deal. We have been remodeling our house in stages for many years. We bought all the materials to do the master bathroom several years ago. We enlarged the room, got the walls and floor torn out and replaced, then got this tub in the room.
That was as far as we got before Charles was diagnosed with Cancer. He was in very bad shape for a long time and we put everything on hold. Since his recovery he has gradually been finishing all the projects we had started before his cancer battle. First he got the floor tiled, then the toilet and sink in. It was very slow progress, as he is not able to work as hard or as long as he used to. Charles got some help from his brother with reinforcing the floor under the tub, so it would hold the weight of that much water.
After that other things took priority, like replacing the porch that hat rotted out. Always something in need of repair first. Finally he was ready to finish. Lucky for us his friend Robert showed up to help him. They spent two days getting everything connected to the pluming underneath and making sure nothing leaked. Finally we not only have running water, but the whirlpool jets work great and they have a bubble mode. I made sure that worke today. First just the jets on, which is great for my arthritis, then bubble mode made the bubbles at least four inches high.
