DemolitionIn order to remove the pocket door, remove the trim using a hammer and prybar (figure A), and then pull the door out.Check inside the door cavity and make sure there is absolutely nothing in between the walls, then you can begin removing the wall with a reciprocating saw (figure B).Note: Be sure that the water and power are turned off before demolition. Carefully open up the other walls by pounding a series of holes into the wall with a hammer (figure C). Tear away the drywall.Cut the studs with a reciprocating saw.Note: Take extra care when using the reciprocating saw near plumbing and electrical lines. Disconnect the plumbing under the sink and then lift the sink out. Pull up the countertop (figure D) and remove the vanities.Tip: When you are doing a remodeling job, it is a good idea to rent a dumpster. An average bathroom remodel requires a six to ten cubit foot dumpster. Remove the old toilet.Remove the flooring.In the third segment, the acrylic bathtub is installed.
