Installing A Bathtub With Easy Steps

Installing a bathtub isn’t exactly rocket science, but it does require solid plumbing, carpentry, and sometimes, tiling skills. Replacing an old bathtub with a new one is also a moderately difficult project. If the old tub is readily accessible, the project can move speedily; if you have to open a wall to remove the old tub and position the new bathtub, the task is much harder. In either case, the project is within a home handyman’s skills, although you will need a helper to move out the old tub and set in the new one. Make sure you have qualified yourself for the job and are comfortable attempting it. Rather than hiring a contractor to take over a halfway-completed project, it is better to consider employing one before you begin. Chances are you may need a professional plumber to make tube connections.

Get an Inspection Before You Buy a Home

Getting a home inspection prior to buying a home seems like a no brainer today but you would be amazed at how many people just take a Realtor’s word for things. I have seen and heard it over and over where people say “But the Realtor said…” Yup, and if it is not in writing it is just that, words. A Realtor works for the seller, not you. They get paid when they make a sale. Of course they are nice. Would you buy from a nasty person? Of course not. I am not saying all Realtors are mis-leading but in many cases, they just don’t know. They are not builders or engineers or architects or inspectors. They are salespersons. You take a car to a mechanic before you buy it, why not take your house to a professional home inspector? There are out there today many great home inspection companies to choose from. Here is a hint, do not use the one the Realtor suggested. Use one not associated in any way with either the seller or Realtor. You will get a better quality, unbiased inspection that way.
