Shower or tub?
I'm currently rehabing two 1 bedroom apartments and I'm undecided on what I should do with the bathrooms. Both bathrooms are identical in size and they use to have a tub with out a shower. The old baths were built into an alcove of roughly 40" long by 36" wide, so only 20 or so inches were actually exposed to enter/ exit the tub. My thoughts were to install a 36" x 36" shower in place of the tub. It is possible for me to bump out a wall to fit in a tub provided I relocate the bathroom door. My question is this, is it worth it to make the necessary changes to accomodate the tub/shower or should I just install the shower? Will the lack of a tub have a drastic effect when showing the units? This is the first time I ran into this issue as all my other unis already had full baths. Also, these units are in low income areas if it makes a difference. This is the 10 cent version of the story so if more input is needed let me know. Thanks.
