Remove a Heavy Tub

The most difficult and potentially dangerous part of renovating a bathroom is removing the old tub. A built-in cast-iron tub can create the most problems. Ebuild.com recommends you leave a demo like this to the pros, but if you do decide to take a sledgehammer to the tub, hit the flat parts of the tub such as the sides or the bottom. Don't strike where the tub curves as it's the strongest section and can cause dangerous rebounds.
