Well that will probably just result in people giving me new (soon to be irrelevant custom titles).

I mean the site could use the revenue.

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.

Those first two points sound like commercial rather than residential requirements. You might want to call your city and ask them. 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.

Im in Riverside county like BeatmasterJ and any outdoor lighting must have a motion sensor, must be dusk-to-dawn and also must have LED lights. Even if they're on a switch. We went through 3 different fixtures before they approved our patio cover, our neighbors just went through the same issue.

Outdoor surprises me less. Indoor motion sensors on bathroom lights would drive me mad unless the off-delay is super high and they didn't turn on until you flipped the switch again.

Bathroom\Laundry\Garages must have vacancy sensors now as of this year in CA



Interesting. Thanks! Does this just control the light going off or must it also switch it on as well? Because if it must switch the light on a 1w LED is going in my bathroom with a vacancy sensor.

Oh gently caress my old job had those motion sensor lights in the break room, on about a 1 second timer. So as people walked in and out to clock in/out or grab their snacks the lights would be flipping on/off every few seconds. It was so stupid and I'm sure it burned the lights out quickly.

Most of those are configurable with a flat head screwdriver. Pop the cover off and there is a set of dip switches. (For future awful motion sensors.)

I don't get YOU PEOPLEs aversion to gently caress palace showers. They are my dream. A friend DIY'd one and it has been my dream since. Sadly it is not worthy of this or the concrete thread, aesthetics aside.

You only want one GFCI device in a given circuit, so a breaker is a reasonable way of doing that. Breakers are more difficult to replace as necessary, but that's the biggest downside, I believe. In fact, as a reference point, I believe that's the standard approach in the UK.

OP have you considered wiring everything for 220v your hair dryer will work twice as fast.

Very yes. I almost mentioned it myself, but figured everyone that cared already knew and how terrible they are.

If there is one thing this thread is good at it's running jokes into the ground like this guys bathtub.

Seems like those clear tubs would be a pain to clean, especially if you don't have soft water. Then again, if you can afford them you can probably afford a maid to clean it for you.

OP I thought of you this morning on my drive in to work. A flatbed trailer hauling engineered I-beams on the 210 westbound and down, I presume fleeing from you.

I did the opposite. My whole bathroom is stainless steel. Walls, floor, ceiling - all stainless, all seam welded. When it comes time to clean, I seal up the room as the entrance door is military surplus off of a submarine. I set the wash cycle, and the open shower design allows a high pressure, high temperature spray to reach all corners of the room. Bleach is pumped in through the plumbing, and when it's finished, it all drains through my Asian floor toilet.

How do you generate the necessary pressure to properly disinfect your bathkillroom?

We keep sales people honest and demo tech to prospective clients. Apparently we are a pain in the rear end to support? I am in Infosec, which makes me the worst.

Which threat intelligence feed company do you work for? Will you give me another ipad if I hear your demo?
