Been there, done that.

When it came time to update our bathroom, my wife wanted a different tub/shower unit. But the one we had had gone in when the bathroom was built.

I took out two ceiling joists, hoisted the tub/shower unit into our attic, and lowered a new unit into place. Then I put the ceiling joists and the ceiling back in.

Remind me never to ask you to change a light bulb.

The real question is:

How did you get the new unit into the attic in the first place?
