Tiny Brontosaurus posted:I don't really like electric ranges but that thing is a stunner. Do you have any pics of it all closed up? Was the cutting board removable? I don't have the stove anymore ((I donated it to a retro-obsessed friend who fixed it up, which would have made grandma very happy )), but I found a reference pic of it closed. I think the cutting board could come out or could be converted to match your cabinetry... ....of which mine is, currently, that white plasticy stuff with green and gold stringies in it. Thanks, the 1960s/70s. At least the house is/was free and fully paid off. ((Even if it's full of mystery sockets and what I'm absolutely certain is terribly out of code wiring in the oldest half of the house. I have a lot of smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.))

Also I feel like just not apologizing for your comments would have been better than "I'm sorry, but I'm not sexist, also I'm right, and you're not women, you're GOOOOONS," but what would I know? After all, it's men who make the posting decisions.

bEatmstrJ posted:This is probably a mistake but whatever. It seems we have all calmed down a bit, myself included. Don't do that. Women are people. When you say "females" it reduces us to nothing but our gender. That's the way people talk about animals. It's insulting to do that to a human being and says a lot about who you are. Your obsession with women having a voice in home buying (aka their own homes, because they are people) is lovely too. If you don't think it's "unfair," why did you say it was and why aren't you letting it drop? quote:- Many of you have expressed "concern" over my design. Stating that it looks akin to a modern Vegas hotel bathroom. Truth be told, if you had asked me what I wanted my bathroom remodel to look like, I would have used the words "modern Vegas hotel bathroom". quote:- There are several hundred of you and only one of me. quote:I'm the whipping boy of this thread. quote:pictures quote:Are Sales Engineers really that notoriously bad?

SoundMonkey posted:please actually report back on this because i've stayed in a lot of hotels of varying quality and in some of the nicer ones i've been like "this is a sweet bathroom, i wonder what it'd be like to have it all the time instead of like two days." i'm not planning to rip up my bathroom any time soon so i'm not likely to find out myself. Well, your thoughts and my thoughts are similar. I've always loved modern design and I figured, in theory, it would be a nice compliment to the "modern Vegas hotel bedroom" that I have now. Having a large bathroom is going to be difficult to clean no matter what, but for the most part i'm a pretty clean person so it doesn't get excessively dirty. I never had a problem keeping my previous bathroom clean, but now I'm fortunate enough to have a house cleaner to make things a bit easier (just not during my renovation, so things are kinda poo poo right now). My original timeline was somewhere around 6 months. I started in early January and even with contractor delays I should be relatively close to finishing around that time, maybe slightly later (really this is just dependent upon the permit approval time). It's not really an issue being that I still have a fully functional bathroom, but it would be nice to finish a bit sooner. The plan hasn't changed from the original design at all as of yet. If the engineer comes back and says, sorry we have to nix the dropped tub, then so be it, but so far so good. If anything, I've added things since my original plan.

To backtrack to Tile Hell for a moment, because honestly it's sort of more interesting:Drape Culture posted:It appears it was pretty much a construction worker's dream house from the early 60s. The original owner (and his brother) were both tile installers, hence the copious amounts of tile (almost every room is different, although some types are clearly from the same design line of tile). The only seriously wtf moment we've had was that the "master" bath had carpet in it, and clearly has always had carpet in it. For the life of me I cannot understand why this would be done that way, even in the 60s. I have to ask -- is there, or was there ever, a divider between the sunken shower/tub and the toilet, of any sort? Like, is there a shower curtain bar off-camera? Or is it assumed that taking a bath/shower in privacy in there means closing off the whole bathroom? It may be a moot point depending on the bathrooms:residents ratio of the home, but I can't imagine how awkward this situation could get.

I think (I HOPE) its clear to everyone that I'm being sincere and not trying to insult anyone. I think it's pretty clear i'm not referring to animals when I say female, it's semantics. I was merely posting facts that women have a voice in the home buying process. But you're right, lets drop it. Please. lmao, Olive Garden! So lolz! Also, not even close.

If your defense against being told your behavior is sexist is "don't criticize me or I'll get even more sexist!" you are loving trash and I hope your electrified bedframe burns your chinstrap off.

When someone is using the tub/shower nobody else gets to use the room, shower curtain or not. I'm not going to be soaking in the tub while a family member is making GBS threads 2 feet away, even if the shower curtain is closed so we don't actually see each other. What you do in a single bathroom home is if you are planning to do anything that will take more than 15 minutes is holler out "I'm gonna take a bath, anyone need to use the bathroom first?" If nobody needs to go, it's assumed you have the room for up to an hour.

I'm not going to be soaking in the tub while a family member is making GBS threads 2 feet away, even if the shower curtain is closed so we don't actually see each other. I'm totally with you but being able to do that is definitely a luxury. A single bathroom home with kids who need to get to school and adults who need to get to work is going to double up often.

Hey OP, here's a picture of the bathroom in my new home (excuse the drywall debris on the floor, the ceiling is a work in progress). It's small, and in desperate need of updating, but I haven't caused thousands of dollars in structural damage, so I'm gonna continue posting however I choose to.

I think I was mostly thinking of little-kid-related situations where they may not be able to wait and have no shame, but I suppose living with little kids means yielding any expectation of bathroom privacy, shower curtain or not.

I don't understand why bathrooms come with carpet. This has never seemed like a good idea to me. I also have small bathrooms that could probably use some updating.

Nah, that poo poo's coming out once some more pressing jobs are done (I'm re-siding the house right now). lovely prefab shower is getting ripped out and tiled, vanity is getting replaced. And of course, going gfci before anyone points it out.

Tiny Brontosaurus has made me laugh a few times in this thread, so, best type of female? Also, full disclosure, my female is pushing hard for a bigger tub in our main bathroom, because she loves baths, and I'd say she had more 'say' when we were house hunting. So, worst type of female?
