The showerhead placement is weird but I don't hate the handle placement. You could lay back in that tub in either direction without gouging your back on it. With a rainshower head directly centered above the tub it might be fine?

A house a few door up has had it's drainpipe broken off half way down the wall for a year now. This is the same place where the guy built a new shed out of three old sheds and then immediately it got broken when his kids kicked a football at it so it's now half fallen apart already, just like the deck he built the previous year. I kind of want to just buy a length of pvc pipe and go and slot it over the broken part for him.

Ugh it's so close to being good actually. Just route that shower head where it belongs.

If you're in a long time and want to top it up with some hot water the hot is going in right at your hip rather than your toes -- and that's generally the widest part of a human so the spot with the least water to mix in. You gotta kinda scooch over and wave your hands around furiously to mix in the hot water without scalding.

The torso, not the toes. Although I suppose some guys are wider at the shoulder than the middle, just none I know personally.

I would imagine this is mostly due to where most forums users reside. How many of you want a bath anyways? How many of you would have a bath in your shower-bath without feeling like you needed to scrub it a bit first?

That tub would work out all right, if the showerhead was angled to spray down. And ideally with a sliding glass door, not a curtain. Something like that: https://www.lowes.com/pd/CASAINC-Ra...ckel/5001578297 The reason it exists, is because they didn't want to run water through the exterior wall, which is understandable. And who knows what's behind the wall on the left, could be ductwork. Nitrox fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Jan 5, 2024 |

There are lots of prewar places around here that have the setup on the long side. It’s easy to reposition the showerhead with the handheld kind and a separate bracket, but you can’t move the faucet and it super sucks. VelociBacon posted:How many of you want a bath anyways?

When I was building my garage, I framed my own roof, so I made this jig that guaranteed uniformity of each joist set I built. Two friends & I raised the roof; there were a few occasions during the process that it was off like that. Not that bad, but we had to do some correcting. Still not sure if it was me or what; I started the build as a fair-to-lovely carpenter but by this time, nine months on, I was much more consistent.

I had a similar issue with my workshop's roof -- again, not as bad as in that photo, but the ridge was clearly not perfectly straight. I assumed it was the walls themselves not being perfectly square/parallel.

I hate these dumbass double hinged doors. You pull on them thinking they are normal, but then the more open they get the more the motion departs from a circular arch. Why do they even loving exist?

VelociBacon posted:I would imagine this is mostly due to where most forums users reside. We put in a bath tub in the sauna, it's under the seats so you have to be acrobatic to get in there, or remove the lower seat. Kinda crazy but it gets used a few times a year. I think we don't use the sauna much either. I do fire it up often for additional heat in the house, works pretty well with some fans, then the heat recovery ventilaton system works real well in spreading the warmth around the house. Get a few extra degrees (C) in the room opposite the hose inside an hour for a load of firewood. Useful right now when it's -30 outside.

You don't have to build new ducts for your air heater if you use the existing infrastructure.

I thought that too at first, but then I saw the other pic posted:  And it actually looks more like it's some sort of natural granite or marble tile, and those white lines aren't the tile edges, but just natural white lines in the tile.

Maybe it is a bidet, with auto-drying function.

I've seen water heater tanks get placed under the seats in a sauna (my grandma's apartment has that arrangement for example) but a bathtub, what the gently caress?
