What would be the best way to remove a bathtub and its 'surround' ?
+2
this will be a major bathroom renovations. It is on the second floor of our home. Do we cut it apart and lower it down through the window or take it in pieces down the stairs and straight out our front door? We are major DIYers...š

I'd cut it in small enough pieces and throw them out the window. Why take a chance of banging up your walls take out the trash?
Well it depends. Who doesn't like tossing construction debris out a second story window? Hopefully into a dumpster? š Just for safety sake, cut up into manageable pieces and do what is easiest or most convenient.
I think it depends on what it looks like. Ours is a one piece so we would probably demo the front and back with a hammer to get down to the tub itself so we could see the best way to remove the tub portion. Whatever you do make sure you wear gloves and safety glasses, long pants and sleeves and sturdy shoes. Have a big trash can handy for any smaller pieces and remember they could have sharp edges.
What ever is convenient for you. Smaller pieces can be thrown out the window. Larger pieces carried down.
