    Bathroom has a 48 sq ft footprint, there is more than 48 square feet of marble used in the bathroom (walls are slab up to ceiling).

    As far as pricing goes, yup it's crazy expensive in the NYC high end world. I work as a gc and our average square footage build price starts at $1500/sq ft and has reached $5k/sq ft for real crazy builds

    $$ doesn't equal taste, that's for sure. Used to do high end custom cabinetry (sure, I'll build you a potato shaped TV cabinet), which was basically particle board, painted with automotive finishes.

    How much effort? Like, were you sweating profusely afterwards? I need to know. That might be my next project.

    It was a lot of swinging. Probably could have tried a heavier hammer, but yeah I feel like I lifted at the gym, or whatever I imagine lifting at the gym feels like since I do the gym.

    Depending on how you want to dispose of it, you can do large or small pieces

    And, how many project you got going on, you need a GC for all this.

    as eggfooyoung said, a 2lb worked and I had one in the garage. Otherwise I would probably have gotten a Hart 4lb sledge if I didn't have the 2lb sledge from Harbor Frieght already.

    Also, we used an angle grinder and made small notches as we went along and that also helped making breaking apart the tub easier.

    My dad was there for moral support, along with laying down the knowledge and well it was nice to be able to just work with him around.

    There were A LOT of screen shots, might as well have stayed home and watch her phone instead. Thankfully, he "Floor and Decor" store had some nice displays setup and a lot of selection, so I stopped even paying attention to the phone.

    We ending up choosing something in there. On the car ride back, she was like maybe we should check some other stores.

    Then radio silence, and a quick change to we all should go get some ice cream.

    :D

    Ice cream can make a bad bathroom seem trivial.

    The more I think about it, the more I want to get rid of that window, the only issue is the outside. I have old school white(or used to be) aluminum siding, and finding that may be hard to get.

    The only thing I would really lose with the window is admiring my just cut lawn when taking a shower :)
