2. The pebble tray is full of very lightweight plastic rocks. The bathtub doesn't get used much and even when it does there is no water or spillage onto said rocks. Aside from a few random hairs here and there they don't get moist or dirty. Any vacuum with a hose attachment would work fine for cleaning. If I really needed to I could easily load them up in a bucket for a gentle washing.

Tbh the original bathroom setup is pretty dumb, and the new layout makes much more sense, but then it just spirals into some weird design decisions that look like they were taken out of a 13 y/o edgelord's notebook.

Not accounting for taste, I'd agree. Seems almost cheap.

If you got rid of the weird wallpaper, ditched the super generic internet art and turned the HDR down to 0 it might not be that awful.

Maybe you just want to sit there and watch your partner shower and have a :jackbud: or :shlick: while the dry-stacked cultured stone slices up your back, injecting your bloodstream with various molds, spores and fungi.

Yes, I know I'm old, get off my fucking lawn so I can yell at these clouds.

I think it’s actually supposed to be that way. Shower benches are supposed to be where you sit and soap up, generally wash yourself. Having water pour over your body doesn’t help with that.

I’ve got a disabled uncle and iirc the shower stool he uses (he can’t stand for long periods in the water) purposefully sits out of the stream for exactly this reason.

I hate interior shots of real estate that have that stupid extended exposure effect. It's a loving bathroom. Also BWM because it hints that the seller is pretentious and possibly a chore to negotiate with.

Also if you want to gently caress in the shower water isn’t a lubricant and washes natural ones away so it would probably also be a desired attribute in a sex bench.

Typically, you want benches in the shower if you're an elderly person, shaving your legs, or it's a steam shower. And for all of those cases, you want to remain out of the water. What kind of loser takes a shower and just sits directly in the stream of water the whole time? That's what baths are for.

Also, I bet none of that $23k went towards any sort of bidet. Gross.

I'm that loser. The first 5-10 minutes of my shower is sitting on the ground and having the hot water hit me while I reflect on my life and relax.

I am interested in the bidet life though. I hear that it's game changing and not the style that just shoots a fountain up that is what's great.

Apparently there's a hose in the shower for sticking up your pooper but OP won't post it, just like he won't post a picture of his shitter for some reason (but will PM one to you if you post a picture of your toilet and promise not to post his).

For real hot baths are the poo poo. Grab some bath salts, a book or phone, and a drink and just stew for an hour.

A hot bath, a Guiness, and poo poo posting is what makes Sunday worth living in casa Cyrano.

Yeah this is the best BWM part -- he cut into structural floor joists to put in that bathtub. I'm really wondering if that'll come up in the home inspection, considering he's intending to sell the place.

He mentioned (in the same writeup as the one about the plastic rocks) that he sistered them with new beams in the renovation. I don't know if it was permitted or actually up-to-code, but he did at least pay some lip service to the problem.

I should have clarified originally the 23k was for the contractor to come in and fix everything he did wrong.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:

From the last thread, after getting a contractor:


quote:

- Engineering of the joists
- Repair/replace joists
- Redo tub plumbing (necessary after joist repair)
- Fix vanity plumbing
- Install new backer and tile vanity wall
- Fix any problems with the new shower wall
- Bathtub faucet plumbing
- Bathtub subfloor install and tiling
- Shower drain plumbing
- Shower benches/threshold framing
- Remove old electrical/lighting from shower area
- All shower fixture plumbing
- Shower pan build and hot mop
- Run old jacuzzi wiring to new location for heated floor/outlets
- Install steam shower
- Install backer and tile in shower/ceiling
- Install shower lights
- Frameless shower glass install
- Remove the old shower wall (partial - engineer to check)
- Cap off old shower plumbing
- Install floor heating element
- Install floor tile
- Demo as needed
- Passing all inspections
So presumably that's before materials, and doesn't count the granite poo poo that was installed pre-dejoisting

Hot baths are great, except

1. Being a tall person makes me choose whether I want my legs to be in the water, or my body, but not both. Except for one bathtub I had in a hotel which was so long that it fit my entire body. That one tub was the tub of dreams.

2. The water eventually gets tepid. Yeah, you can add more water and drain some other water, but really I just don't want to screw around with it.

A hot shower bath would be the very best.
