Re: Hot Tub Cover Full of Water

We had a spa that was used year round for about 8 years without a problem

Cost of plans & drawings

2008-11-22T04:48:41Z

What do you think would be a reasonable cost of having an architect draw
plans for remodeling a 54 sq. ft. bathroom to replace a bathtub with a
threshold-free shower, elevated toilet and a sink that I can wheel under? I
want as little alteration to the non-tub part of the floor as practical.
The shower will have a "lip" to hold the water in. One contractor has said
