Mr. Nice! posted:If you look in the picture he didn't drill out the middle of the beam for his plumbing. He cut holes in the bottom of the webbing. I am pretty sure that drain line is original from the tub that he removed and that it is hole-sawed, they just missed on one of the cuts and made a bonus hole.

I just watched the Grand designs episode with the hammock tub last night. It cost £16,500 for a black one and the guy had a £100,000 budget for a container house. I think he ended up 30k over. Season 12 episode 4 on Netflix. I think you can slide a $5,000 container under your bathroom to hold up those beams. The strength is in the ends so maybe just the tip.

Antifreeze Head posted:For as terrible as an idea as this was, I do want to congratulate you on some very clean and straight cuts there. What kind of saw did you use? I tacked a guide board to the side of the beam then just ran my skill saw on the guide. For the edges I touched them up with an oscillating tool. It worked out pretty well. In other news, just had another contractor come by. He seemed a little bit unsure about the joists, but it didn't really stop him (He just called back and thinks it would be best to go back to stock). I think he was more concerned with the amount of tile work I wanted him to do and how much that's going to cost. I learned some new things though: - Bathroom vents with humidity sensors are now required even if you have a window. - Any light receptacles with screw in fixtures must be connected to motion sensors (even if they are LED) (fortunately I won't have any) - I probably can't have my shower glass go all the way to the ceiling like I wanted due to humidity reasons. He also made a few design recommendations that I may consider as revisions to my project. All in all, another good meeting. Looking forward to some exciting quotes.

 Where is the drain? Somehow, I think that it'll be Jeff Spiccoli in the hammock, turning around and saying 'righteous bucks".

The hammock shaped 'Vessel' is mounted with steel brackets across two walls facing each other. It is 8’9” x 2’6” in dimension and requires a tall standing tap by its side to complement the whole style. It should preferably be installed in a wet room to allow water to drain out of the tub into a floor drain and retain the ‘suspended’ look. However, for practical purposes, a drainpipe is also available. Carbon fiber weave construction with a foam core for insulation make the Vessel light weight as well as strong. It is large enough to accommodate two at a time and is available in red, blue, black yellow, pink, silver and bronze to go with its surroundings. A limited edition luxury design, this hole-in-the-pocket bathtub costs about $34,000 and is made by Splinter Works. Thirty-four goddamn thousand earth dollars.

I know some people who do carbon fiber work and there is no way this thing should cost more than a nice car. As a cool one-off order something like that could be made by any half decent shop for the 5-6k range as a whole design-build deal. Something mass produced should be maybe 1000. 34k, that's just insane. I'm sure they justify 90% of that cost for the artistic sculptural value of their brilliant design.

I always try to remind myself that design and engineering cost money too. Does it bump up your estimate at all to factor in how it has to be load-bearing? And I guess it has foam in it too. I don't stay up-to-date on foam prices. Does foam cost thirty thousand dollars now.

Considering how hard it is to get in and out of a normal hammock without smashing your head onto a rock/the ground, I can't imagine making the floor wet and slippery at the same is going to help.

The price is a selling point, not a drawback. Someone buying that poo poo wants to be sure that when they're slumming it with their government worker friends, they're not going to find out they have the same gimmick tub.

This is of course not a thing designed to be used. It's a thing you, as a developer or architect or luxury house flipper, put in a "feature bathroom" to photograph well and look good in your portfolio and to make your luxury house appeal more to the idiotic rich buyer who is buying the house not so much to live in, but as a status symbol and/or investment to then flip in a few years because prices always go up.

Honestly this type of thing is sort of like concept cars and runway clothes - a lot of these sorts of designs never get sold at all. If this is installed in even twenty homes worldwide right now I'd be amazed.

I know in California you can't sell a light without an LED bulb in it (this is why you can't order lamps off target.com for example.) You said you're in LA, do mean city proper or county? Also will you sell tickets to go lay in repose precariously across the cut beams? The third point is what you want regardless. Or to put your exhaust fan in the shower with you. It will get plenty steamy.

Bathroom vents with humidity sensors are a good idea regardless and if you're going this deep into a reno might as well add that relatively minor piece.

We're all energy anal around here. I'm not in LA proper, about an hour away in Riverside County. You can buy tickets to the beams if you want. I've already stood and sat on them numerous times to do various tasks. They aren't going anywhere for now.

I met with another contractor today. He did a very thorough inspection and said everything looks good as is. He recommended leaving the subfloor off. He appears to be licensed judging by those credentials around his neck and he had very reasonable rates.
