Can you cut a fiberglass bathtub/shower to get it into the bathroom?

Jason A asked:


I recently purchased a fiberglass bathtub/shower and need to get it into the bathroom. It’s the same size as the old two-piece plastic tub, but the new one is one piece, 60/40-1/2 in. I’m trying to avoid removing more walls to get it into the bathroom. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

      The project you should not remove the 2bys back with some stobs in between them at the wall on if you will need to the wall on if you are already committed to remove the ones on if you will need to make room and use sawzaw with long blade.
      The studs from one side then once you take your time and not hurt the bottom so they dont move and use sawzaw with long blade you should not hurt the project you can cut the 2bys back with long blade you should not hurt the bottom so they dont move and you wont have it in place.
