My bathroom reno

Top | New | Old
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Looks clean and sharp. I like the reed plant (if it's real) on the sink. If it's plastic, that's a serious problem. I don't like the shower curtain over the window. I suppose if it's looking into the neighbouring building or house it's a pragmatic solution although I recommend using vinyl or metal window casings and frosted glass windows. The extra toilet paper roll left on top of the tank to collect dust is troubling. Presentation: B+

@MarkPaul I do have frosted glass on the window but I don't want water hitting the wood window frame. I don't usually have an extra roll of toilet paper.

With the exception of the tub and tile on the floor that's pretty close to my bathroom. Even the towels! 🙃

My next door neighbor is jealous of my place though.

My towels are identical as well....

Very nice, I like the window in the shower as well. You don't see that too often in homes anymore.

Kitchens are a bigger task than I thought. I started hanging our cabinets and about a quarter of the way through I ended up hiring a guy with a crew to finish. I did my part well, but finishing was a task. 🫡

@calicuz Lol, I was thinking about doing it myself, but thank god I'm not. Just looking at the diagrams and talking to the cabinet maker, there are a ton of things I haven't thought about in the installation. I think it would be a nightmare for me. I not naturally handy.

Yeah, measuring, and remeasuring, for accuracy is very time consuming. I didn't mind putting in the effort, but it began to wear me out. 😅

Looks great. What up with the shower curtain though. A little short?

Oh. It's a window curtain not a shower curtain 😆

I need to do my downstairs bathroom.
I have a soaker tub, but want to add a shower.

Mine is still in boxes in the garage, can't decide on floors or walls yet

Go with pink shag carpeting in the bathroom floors and you can't go wrong.

Very smart! Fine work indeed!

Mine for out in the field

@HumanEarth That is actually a nice outhouse, is it new?
HumanEarth · F
Made it last fall
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@HumanEarth Good job!

the covered up window makes it look a bit claustrophobic, can't you make it heavily frosted?
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@MartinTheFirst I don't want the water to hit the wooden window frame.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@JimboSaturn aah, didn't think of that. Maybe you could try a hydrophobic paint
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@MartinTheFirst Ya I thought of that, but I think this is the best idea. The window is frosted and I often move the curtain and open the window in the summer when I'm not showering.
Well done.
Is it a basement bathroom?
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@Ghostinthemachine no main bathroom ground floor

Did you install a water drain in the floor tile anywhere which would then lead into a sink drain or the toilet stack?
swirlie · F
@JimboSaturn
From personal experience I can tell you that any flood water that ends up on the bathroom floor will end up inside the burner unit of your furnace before it even starts to migrate out into the hallway on your main level.

The water will end up flowing down the hot air register which is located on the bathroom floor and which is also the lowest point on that floor where a floor drain would normally be located if one were installed.

Because that floor register is below the height of the door sill leading into your bathroom, a bathroom flood would go undetected until the water ended up inside the burner unit of the furnace. This is because the water would go down the register before it could get deep enough to climb over any door sill or carpet edge.

Here it is in the photo.......

@swirlie I don't ever really have a problem with my toilet overflowing. In such cases, when I notice, it's not draining right, I turn off the water to the toilet and then use the plunger. It has never got to the point where the water overflows that much.

Everything works just fine until the day comes that it doesn't...

I would do anything for a full tub, I miss hot soaking my lower back with epson salts.
