Bathroom Project Day 2

First on the agenda for Day 2 was the tub. It's the original cast-iron tub, which means two things: 1) It's heavy. 2) It can be smashed to pieces for easy removal.

I used the long handle sledgehammer to deliver some house-shaking blows. The tub was covered with an old towel during smashing to prevent sharp fragments from flying.

Before I could fully remove the tub, I cut the drain pipe. I intend to re-route it so the P-trap and drain pipe don't hang down into the future 3rd bathroom in the basement (which is where this picture is taken from).
The tub is history, and now it's time to smash the floor tile.
End of Day 2: All tile, mortar and drywall is removed. The towel on the left side of the picture covers the hole for the toilet.

A project like this is never without some surprises. Here I find a little water damage in the subfloor. It's not too bad, but should be fixed so the floor tile has nice sturdy support.
