    Replacing old bathtub
    How would be the best way to remove an old cast iron bathtub? I don't want to take down 4 door frames. Do I break it up, saw it, or what else?:confused:

    Ya take a 20 pound sledge hammer and take that sucker out in pieces. Be sure to wear safety goggles as the porcelain chips are razor sharp. Good luck, Tom
