We ordered it via Lowe's and picked it up yesterday. My son-in-law pointed out that replacing the tub would improve the resale value of the house. The tub's an acrylic American Standard 5 foot soaker tub, cost a bit over $300.
I can hardly wait to try it out. The old tub is so ooky that nobody has wanted to bathe in it for years.
