I'm ready to install a tub but have a question before hand. The tub is made by Bootz Industries and its a porcelain on steel. Now the instructions are none and their web site has no instuctions.
1. I know to install a ledger board for the tub to sit on but how should I secure it? Do I drill holes in the flange and nail it to the studs?
I plan on setting it in a mud bed so after I set it in the mud do I fill it with water? Some tubs recomend this. Thanks for any help.
