CUSTOM TUB - APPROVAL

Currently we live in a 108 year old Victorian house and one of the things we love and will miss the most is the character of the house, which would cost thousands of dollars to replicate in our new house.  We recently remodel our bathroom and at that time, we installed a free-standing claw foot tub.  We really like how it looks so we decided to carry the look into our new house.  However, this time we upgraded to a larger tub with a whirlpool system.  We received the approval from Ryan Homes to install a custom tub in the master bathroom after closing.  To accommodate the size of the tub, Ryan Homes will expand the door into the master bathroom from 2' 6" to 3'.  We also received a $1000 credit. 

The one negative is - we will have to install the tub after closing.  First we need to find a place to store the tub and then we will need to get the tub to the house after closing.  We are going to check with our PM to see if they will be willing to help us with this; otherwise, we will need to contact a professional to help us with the install.  Neither of us are very handy; especially when it comes to plumbing. 

This is a picture from the website.  Please note: Our tub will reflect a ball & claw foot with Old World Bronze finish.

On another note, we are waiting for approval on a custom request to install a rainfall showerhead from the ceiling in the master bathroom shower.

That's awesome. So far, my sales rep has seemed to frown on any custom upgrades - maybe because she senses I'm so cheap. I'll be interested to see if they get the door correct on the first try. If so, I'll be pretty impressed! Awesome tub. Jealousy creeping in....
