Completed the tub removal. This took 3 full days. The more I try to take this house apart, the more I discover that it is well built.
This is a picture of the tub partially removed. It shows that the tile was attached to a layer of concrete that was an inch or more thick.
The platform on the ends and back were tiled. Below the tile was the 1"+ of concrete, a layer of 3/4" plywood, and 2 layers of 2" wood. The picture beloe shows the bottom of the plywood. It resembles a bed of nails.
Completed the shower removal including rewiring the light switch to move it from the shower area. The shower took 2 full days.
Due to the wet work of wallpaper removal and the electrical work in the bathroom, I have spent several hours mapping portions of the electrical system to the appropriate circuit breaker.
