Hi, I have a bathtub that needs to be replaced.

I have a rental property that's in Grand Bay, AL that needs a shower, bath tub, door frame, floor leveled, and some other minor work done to it.

should I use 1/4' hardibacker, which mostly after installing the tile would be higher than the current original floor. keep in mind I have the bathroom cabinet and the bathtub already there. what should  cover the bathroom original wood floor properly in order to install the tile.  

To legalize it, I converted it to a office for myself which involves removing a bathtub and stove.

The bathtub is rusted out and leaking I'm trying to find someone to replace it but they either never call back or don't show up for an estimate.

They also have been good at keeping the house in order but my question is specifically in regards to a very small leak on one of the bathtub faucets. 

Glass block in a bathroom works great if it's being put in because of placement adjacent/up against the bathtub since that was a typical layout of baths 100 years ago. 

If you are negligent, like leaving water running in a bathtub upstairs that floods 3 floors and causes damage, your rates do go up.  

Get an asset manager who is tough as nails and hangs out in biker bars and has no problem tossing out clients who brew meth in the bath-tub and who think that turning tricks on the weekend is a good occupation.Listing agents who are experienced know better than to put "Pittsburgh" as the subdivision in the listing... it's too easy to google and thus an easy way to lose prospective buyers.There are houses on the market for over $100k, but they aren't moving and have probably been relieved of anything made of metal since 5 minutes after the renovation crew left.

Necessary repairs before filling the house with a renter will include a wood floor treatment (not full on refinishing with polyurethane), touch up trim paint in each room, selectively touch up wall paint in certain rooms, repair a portion of ceiling from water damage (source of damage identified and repaired by owners), as well as general cleaning of Full Bath tub and tile surround.
