I wouldn't use it on a wood framed floor, particularly second story.

Bathtubs full of water are *heavy* and sitting a load like that across the wrong structural elements of your property is a fun way to cost yourself a ton of money.

I've been considering getting one of the ones that are a folding frame and a tarp sack, because my apartment doesn't have a bathtub.

I did the measurements and it would just fit in the shower - are those usually reinforced enough to not have the bathtub come crashing through the floor into the apartment downstairs, or is this still a bad idea?

We conceived a way to use my mother as a porn mule


Myself and a mate have started a $50 (total) blind bag style gifting thing where over the course of a month we randomly buy stuff for each other but have it shipped to them directly so it's a complete surprise what's going to be in the packages. And with the random nature of freight from Aliexpress and Wish - this is gonna be interesting.

The cheaper the item the more likely I'll have to go to the post office to sign for it :argh: Love going and waiting in line to pick up a $2 trinket.

I have the opposite problem. If it doesn't fit in the mailbox, the mail person gets very creative to make sure it gets delivered to my house without having to leave a note. I had everything from precariously balanced parcels on random spots in front of my house, to straight-up getting my poo poo thrown over my front gate into my garden. And if it looks like it can bend, it will be squished into the mailbox by all means possible.

We live in a big apartment building and there's no wood anywhere, it's all concrete. The bathrooms that you get with these apartments are intentionally designed bare-bones. Eventually, practically every resident has them remodeled and put a tub in there. You think I should consult with a builder first?

let's invade New Zealand, they have oil
Im not a builder, but I probably wouldn't worry in that case. The tub is probably going to be between 500 and 1000 kg loaded and the apartment building is likely expecting a bath to be put in that room.

Its more about accidentally failing to span the load across things that can hold it, the risk with a lightweight framed (like a two storey American home) wood house is that you might end up with a bathroom that has no significant load bearing members nearby particularly if the bathroom was added later or is a small ensuite, if you have 450mm centers on the flooring beams and you put it in just the right place you might put that whole load across the middle of just a couple of 2x4s.

The tub probably weighs about as much as a micro car, would you hold one of those up with that?

Its not so much about the building not holding it up (the tiles on the wall of a small bathroom weigh 1000kg+) it's just about the placement of the load.

There was a local renovation reality show a few years ago where they were converting an office building. The show made them put in a steel beam to reinforce a concrete floor because of the placement of a bath. Granted the bath in that case was itself marble/concrete or something silly so it was probably double the weight.

A big bathtub could be 1000+ kg but the one pictured before shouldn't be that much. The tub itself is a portable one so must be pretty light, and the capacity doesn't look like a cubic metre. Although, if you filled it to the brim and got a couple of really fat people to stand it in wearing lead backpacks...

Looking at the dimensions, and assuming they're external, it might hold 400 litres. I doubt it weighs very much itself. You'll be fine.

Probably.

Of course, thinking of Ali's legendary reputation for quality control, imagine what will happen to that 400 litres of water in your apartment (and the two beneath it) when the plastic splits like a noname condom

I wanna have a bubble bath but I don't wanna spend an entire year's net salary on remodeling a bathroom I might live in for one or two years.



On the other hand, maybe I could get a contractor make myself a Doom bathroom.

If your nipples were rigid, rubbery grotesques that had a visible molding seam, people would think you were younger. And I know exactly the product that could help you out!

Also a great prank for date night. Take off your bra and your nipples fall off. Maybe right away, maybe not for 20 minutes. Fun!

Or you could play "hide the nipple," although I'm not sure I'd want a prize for it.

According to the experts at Tumblr it depends on if they're female presenting nipples or not.

I'm looking at my nipples and trying to figure out how to make them more feminine. Do you think rubbing lipstick all over them would help? Maybe little high-heeled shoes, like a Barbie pump?

DISCLAIMER: I am not actually looking at my nipples because I can't touch-type.
