Re: 2 handle Tub/Shower conversion
Author: ruggey (Canada) [i.postimg.cc] 15" is to wide and will not work, the picture does not show the curves in the surround but they are there. The other end of the surround is flatter I am wondering if the pluming should have been been installed on the other end , when the house was built ,I guess what I am asking is there a right & left hand surround?
