Did you get ANY permits to do this work?

Isnt California crazy about getting permits for remodels? I only know this from listening to Adam Carolla.

Youll never be able to sell this house if this stuff isnt up to code.

If an inspector see you doing remods with no permits you can get into CRAZY trouble.

I am learning so much from this thread! Most importantly, I have learned that if I ever own a home I should not touch a drat thing re: remodeling unless I talk to at least one coworker (most of my coworkers are architects/engineers).

Or if youre going to do anything bigger than hanging a paper towel holder hire a professional.

Man OP, you have GOT to stop cutting corners (and floor joists) to save a few pennies:

Well I certainly learned a lot. Without the challenge of the floor joists my plan was to do everything except build the shower pan/hot map and do the tile work. Those items were always going to be contracted out, although likely to some cheaper craigslist guys.

If I could do it again myself, I probably would. I enjoy DIY and learning about this stuff and sometimes you have to make some mistakes to get things right.

The bathroom will still be completed exactly as intended, and I was adamant about that with the contractor so they understand that I will be heavily involved in the design of things (which has changed only slightly from the 3d mockup). The reason I decided to contract most of it was because knowing an inspection would be required for the floor joists meant many other items would be triggered for inspection as well at the same time. So rather than dealing with all of the inspection items I'm just letting the contractor take care of anything that will require inspection.

Did that creepy dude really report you to the city or was he full of poo poo?

Do you think if the inspector sees it he'll make you vacate the premises until the problem is fixed?

Because that would be hilarious.

Just use river rock tile instead of loose rock if you want a bathroom you can really use:

Ha just look at his pic and imagine the OP saying "No its cool I got this, you can just cut the floor joist" all while his friends are like NO DOOD STOP!!!

Its similar to the goon digging a hole analogy.

You guys dont seem to know this, but you can put stuff on wood that keeps it from soaking up moisture.

You can even use wood outside exposed to the elements.

What Im learning here is that Americans have huge bathrooms and that the British are getting a raw deal. One side of my bathroom is bath, then there is a sink, then the toilet, the door is in front of the toilet so you could open it and wave at anyone at the front door.

Its pretty much why our wives made us start a new country.

Bidet supremacy! I now dread pooping somewhere that isnt home, and I USED to love pooping at work.



I have this installed on the toilet pictured above flushing the nuggets. The American Standard Champion.
