What would be the best design for the smallest possible full bath with tub?

whenever my bathroom was reno'd they built a short little wall between the tub and toilet so there'd be something behind the tub, the result is almost actually a water closet (plenty of room in front for legs, not much room side to side for... imitating a chicken while taking a poo poo?) and it's really nice

They're definitely snug, even for us (both under 5'7"). Plus, there's generally not a lick of wood or board anywhere, it's all plastic or laminate or whatever, because it's gets very steamy when you shower in such an enclosed space, no matter how good the fan is.

The standard old school bath at 5'x7' isn't bad, door on short wall, sink by door, toilet between sink and tub at far end. All wet utilities in one wall, enough room for towels and such.

The house I used to live in in Japan had a shower/tub room that was fully fiberglass and vinyl, but it was probably 5x3 shower space with a tub next to it that sunk into the floor a little. The tub was full length and deep enough that I could sit up and still cover my shoulder with water. It really sucked to have to clean but it was luxurious. It almost made up for the trap door toilet that dropped directly into a cesspit under the toilet room (which to be fair did also have a full height urinal).

My uncle has the oddest bathroom setup. When you first enter the "bathroom", you're in a roughly 5x5' square room. Door enters on the left, on the right is a counter/sink/mirror. Opposite wall from the door is a second door, behind which is a separate room with a shower and toilet. I don't know why there needed to be an airlock in there, but here we are. The best part? It's all carpeted And it's loving fabulous

I guess during high traffic times (taco night) you might have a line. This way someone else can use the toilet while you are washing your hands or brushing your teeth without it being gross.

 Just rolled into my parents' home to help while they deal with some unexpected health problems, and I look up at the ceiling...  And now I don't know whether to tell them immediately, while they're still sick, or wait 'til they're stronger before I point out that somehow the kitchen started leaking into the guest bedroom sometime after December.

I thought you were making a joke about what I might be taking for stress relief while I'm here. The only reason why I doubt mold is a major concern is because this is a semi-arid region with a low risk of mold. But now that you mention it, that is a good reason to get it addressed right away. I'll get them to call their contractor tomorrow.

couldcareless posted:I half expect that patch to be the ripped off cover of "how to patch a pipe for dummies" Wish I still had a picture of it, but the old owner of my townhome was putting screws in the wall of the garage and mistook a supply line as a stud. They patched it with epoxy and something that looked like gaff tape/drywall patch tape. When my father properly cut the section off and patched it up, we noticed the end of the screw was still in the old pipe.

This is what we'd use in the fleet over a pipe crack, except we might have put a steel plate over the rubber patch. I think that's only mildly jank.

"Yup, except for the waterline, but you can see where that one is now..."

Being airside that was the last I saw of them, but I think they also had rubber slabs in metal cuffs that latched onto pipes too. I never went to the damage control classes.
