Comment on Is replacing a tub/shower combo DIY'able

The biggest issue I’ve seen is hastiness - if you take the time to learn each step well and can keep yourself from rushing, then it can be fine.
It’s the ones that try to do it over the weekend because their wife is yelling at them about it that get into trouble.

The step that has me most worried is setting the drain properly. Everything else seems more or else something I’ve done before (leveling the floor and securing the tub)

Depending on your situation, you may be able to use a quick connect kit which can be pretty easy. But yes, the drain assembly needs some care - especially if you need to cut finished pipe to length for, say, a cast iron standing tub. Its not too different from a sink drain assembly if you’ve done that before.

I did see that on the Lowe’s website so that’s good they sell them in kits.
