P.S. Unrelated rant, the last few properties I have stayed at that had recent "full" remodels still had the old warn out tub (and sometimes the toilet too). While go to the expense of fully remodeling a room to make it fresh but still leave the bathroom tired and old? I have seen this at a CY and a RI recently.
They appear to have pulled out the tubs here and replaced them with walk-in showers. One positive in a sea of negative.
