This beautiful bathroom remodel is only going to add tons of value to the house. I'd suggest immediately after you're finished put this gem on the market. Try to sell it before even trying to fill the tub. It can sometimes be harder to sell a house that has soap scum on a brand new tub. Then the next owner can enjoy the tub to its fullest when you are long gone. Otherwise this is a fantastic job! Do you do side jobs?

That's actually not a bad idea, but they'll say tear our the floor. 😟

It's better to tear out the floor, you will just have to remove the wall you put in and the sink but you will have to put in new floor joists next to the ones you hosed up. There is no point in trying to hack a half-assed solution at this point. The biggest problem is not that maybe it will fail but if your insurance gets wind of this they will drop you like a bathtub falling through a compromised floor.

I'm a therapist and researcher/data scientist, I took physics in college but don't remember it. Can someone please explain what second moment means?

I graduated with a BSCE in Structural Engineering. The first moment is when you say "Oh poo poo! The second moment is when you break your spine.

I always forget with I-beams. Why doesn't the center bit buckle directly under a large point load? Like, say, a bathtub?

The web is not supposed to really take loading. It's only purpose is to hold the two flanges together. The I-Beam is sized for a particular load so it doesn't have any deflection. If it deflects then it is undersized.

I have to admit those are pretty pictures. While we're on the subject of bathtubs this is a pretty picture too:

Edit: this could be construed as nsfw.

I still don't understand what a sales engineer is. The guy from Office Space who gets t-boned?

Those are the people that dropped out of engineering school after the first semester of calculus and transferred into business school. They still like to think they know how engineering works and they are good at repeating buzzwords like "synergy".
