FYI, there is no need to turn off the main water supply. The main water is supplied to the tub/shower valve, aka the diverter valve, before being diverted down to the tub spout or up to the shower head. So, unless you're replacing the diverter valve itself, there is no need to shut off the main water supply. Hope this helps. See ya!

I agree that the video was concise, direct and right to the point. Time is valuable - I appreciate he didn’t waste our time with senseless time consuming humor.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Sweet and simple. I'll get this started and all the contractor will have to do is install the new tub.

That was great! Exactly what I needed to know. This video saves me from making a lot of unecessary steps. Thanks!

Thanks man I have a fundamental idea of how things work but it's videos like this that reinforce that idea so I don't screw things up. Thank you!!

Tub out, time to rent the place out! No really, we found a rust-through at the drain in a bathroom of a rental unit, and set to remove the drain flange from the tub to do a repair, but the metal of the tub that the drain flange was originally secured to gave way. Time for a new tub! You made the demo/removal seem easy - thanks for the great video. It's fairly amazing, the bids you might get if you were originally thinking of hiring it out.

Thanks for the vid..doing a tub-to-shower conversion and you just saved me some $$$ with the removal of the tub part.

I usually cut the tub two times a few inches apart in the middle, remove the center section, so each end can pull towards the middle. It also makes it much easier to remove from the house

right to the point. No added filler. Great video
