I know, this weekend I get to paint the bathroom walls before the tile comes on Monday. Lot of work but will have a nice bathroom when done.
I will take a pic after it's all done. Right now behind the tub is the original insulation when the house was built, concrete board will cover that then tile.
Paint color for the walls is called Moonshine - Lowes Olympic paint.

Maybe the new ones are better but the one my mom has takes forever to drain and she gets cold sitting in it waiting for it to fill up. They had good water pressure but the things takes alot of water. They paid alot of money and it just sits in there.

I have filled my new tub up - after plumbing was installed, took about 3 mins to fill, then we emptied - under 2 mins.
The room is vented via the house heater, and I can put in a small space heater if needed.
Am looking forward to using the jets, they are not hooked up yet. It takes less water than a regular tub, or regular jacuzzi tub. With this tub, you don't fill it to the top of the tub, just over the top jets which are hip level on the seat.
