@bathroomremodelingteachr: 💪 It is a much bigger challenge when you are only replacing a tub/shower & leaving existing walls in tact Most of the time in older homes the overall width of rough framing is much wider than the actual tub The most common width size of a tub is 60" In this scenario we had plaster & drywall as the existing outside walls The rough opening size for this bathroom was 61 1/4" This does make it a bit easier to set the tub 😃 The easiest way to set a new tub in an existing space is to leave and/or cut out framing at the edge of the tub rim area This allows for the tub to be able to slide into wall cavity area so you can angle and position the tub into place Once tub is set in place, evaluate the levelness of tub Anything within a 1/4" within the 5ft wide span is acceptable Two ways to overcome a significant unlevel tub floor area 1. Floor level the tub area 2. Set tub in a mortar bed Mix to a thick consistency In this video I had a fairly level floor and was installing a tub that does NOT require mortar.
