Hi Richard,


you are most welcome here, if you would like to post pictures here but are having problems re-sizing them please feel free to e-mail them to me, also let me have your phone # so I can talk you through how do post them yourself, it's not that hard once they are resized for web.

Regards

Gerry

Oh, I love the second picture. Someone goes to the trouble

of a cord into it. Now seeing the hot and cold supply lines


running up through the floor in the same location make me


think that’s a whirlpool tub above. Am I right Richard icon_question.gif


The joist cannot be notched that much, or in that area. It's
gotta go also

You are correct it is a whirl pool tub.Was sent there becouse they thought they had a leak under tub. The kit sink drain was from the same house.This house is only two streets over from AL Gore.You would think they could afford a better handy man than the one they were using in this neighborhood.

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me the things people will do.


I find it hard to believe the manufacturer of the tub didn’t


require it be grounded in the installation instructions. Wiring


it up like that with cord, they probably didn’t even get


the polarity correct. icon_rolleyes.gif


I hope Joe Tedesco is reading this thread. That picture there
would fit well in his archives of "how not to wire a whirlpool tub".

You mean we’re supposed to wire or whirlpool tubs? That explains why mine doesn’t work.
