What say ye?
Yes I agree with you. I have been a plumber for 38 years this coming Sept. Now with the Pedistal Lav. I have learned a few tricks that make it easier to install. I must be an old plumber because now they are saying I do things the old school way.

I agree 100%. If the rough is spot on, everything's pretty much the same. Of course, installing junk that is manufactured poorly can be frustrating because tolerances either make it tough to make it leak free or look good. If the rough is off, it could be anything.

I don't do commercial. so i'd say setting a soaker tub on the finish is the worst job in all of plumbing. I won't just say it I'll declare it. It is carved in stone.

Why would a plumber set a tub during the final phase? In 16 yrs of plumbing, during new consrtuction, we ALWAYS set tubs during the 2nd rough, never during a final.
