I know so many this has happened to in the last couple of years
@Jpgurl.I know because of this, we are hiring this one out.I want to remove my massive soaker tub and put in something like the new claw foot tubs with jets. Â Who even uses a tub anymore? Â But we need to have one for resale.They are a pia to clean and we never use it now that our kids are bigger.
@Fallon: yea we got rid of the tub and I don't care about resale. We are putting in a huge shower- it will have a rain shower and a regular shower head with multiple setting and a dry area with a bench- and it'll be a walk in with no doors.
We built a house in Ohio with no spa tub just a giant shower and the house sold in two weeks so I don't believe a tub helps in resale. A designer told us people are moving away from the tubs because they're impossible to clean- and you should've seen the black water in the hoses!!!! We've only used it 3 times in 12 years.
ET- no we didn't notice the smell. I the summer the whole room smelled musty. The rotten wood and termites were totally containe under the marble. The water leakage came from under the marble between the pan and the foundation because they didn't seal the pan to the drain. The termites got in probably between the foundation and the house. We didn't find any tubes going in or on the studs. We are constantly inspecting the house for that- we had termites in Ohio.
