Burt Sexual posted:But what's with the big secret reveal on why you just didn't take out the tile? I thought the secret was about why he needed to make the tub two inches lower. The answer probably being that he's short, or his wife is short, and has trouble getting into the tub. No reason to be all secretive about that though, the forums have some cool dwarfs and nobody cares that they are short.

Effective-Disorder posted:Right? I mean, why even worry about renovating when you can just cover stuff with plants? Plants don't need permits. Plants like bathrooms because it is humid. But plants also need lots of light. Do you have three nice big windows in your bathroom to let in lots of natural light? Or did a previous DYIer wall them all over?

WrenP-Complete posted:The internet tells me a rumpus room is a recreational room, like a den. I was imagining something far more neon. Yeah, the way I've usually seen it is that the living room has nice furniture for adults and guests, so the kids aren't allowed to play or hang out there so the living room stays nice like the pictures in the furniture catalogue. The rumpus room will be in the basement or the back of the house, and be a shabbier lived-in living room. The kids can have snacks, play video games, throw their toys around, jump on the furniture, etc. If it is big enough it could also have a foosball table, ping pong table, pool table, or air hockey table. That way the kids can be rambunctious while the civilized adults sip wine in the living room. In reality the rumpus room is way more fun and comfortable, so the livingroom basically becomes a museum only used when they have guests.

Bad Munki posted:GFCI probably means it'll have pigtails so those should be long enough on their own to actually reach out the back of the box, saving you several inches. And if you miss and hit the wire a few times with the hammer while stapling it, you should be able to get at least an inch or two more unless you hammer like a sissy This is why I like Bad Munki: always focused on solutions.

I'd be tempted to buy a gallon of bleach and just let it run with hot bleach water for an hour or so before I tried it. Fish poop in the reservoir and we add bleach to that and then drink it, so bleaching a jacuzzi tub should be fine.

socketwrencher posted:Agreed. I'd just rather not work with someone who tried to rip me off to this extent as $5k on a $23k project is ludicrous. I can see it. Some people just have a hard on for bargaining. Being a 'tough negotiator' is an important part of their identity or something. Driving down the price feels like winning, paying the asking price makes them feel like a chump. A contractor probably runs into a lot of those guys, so he builds in a margin to let them talk him down to a fair price and everyone walks away feeling good.

Okay, if the rocks are necessary, I think I've got a mold-free solution. Lower the floor even more, then put in the rocks, then put in enough water to completely cover the rocks, then add a pond filter to agitate and clean the water. No mold. Maybe some algae, but I think the room is dark enough with that one window walled up that it shouldn't be a problem. Then, since you've got the rocks and the water and the filter and everything, go ahead and add some fish. Put your tub in a koi pond.

bEatmstrJ posted:You won't actually be stepping on the rocks so I can't concede to the dirty socks. I'll sprinkle additional water occasionally, but the number of times I used my old bathtub in the last 3 years can be counted on less than two hands. I also won't be plastic wrapping. I'm leaving the rocks in the bathroom for a fair shot at realistic conditions but I'm not going to sabotage my own experiment with your subterfuge. Fair enough. If you go through with the rock tub, will you at least promise to update un in 5 years, good outcome or bad?  I've never had tub rocks, but when I moved recently I was surprised how grungy the spot behind the toilet had gotten over the years. This was a tiny apartment bathroom so the toilet was right next to bathtub, almost touching it, which made getting into that corner with a mop a bit tricky. To be honest I'd never made much effort to clean back there, because it was hard to get into the tiny space, and I didn't really expect it to be dirty since no one ever stepped there or spilled anything there. (Also because I'm lazy as gently caress). But over 8 years of half-assed mopping, dust and occasional splashes of bathwater had made it grubby back there. Not moldy though, smooth linoleum isn't mold-friendly. I bet there would have been some mold if I'd left a bunch of rocks back there and never washed them or turned them.

Look Sir Droids posted:1. Replace insert with a garden tub (Wife requested, OP!). Not 100% sure it would fit in that space, but I think it's likely. Purpose for renovating at all falls apart if we can't get a bigger tub. If a garden tub doesn't fit, there are some tub options that will give you a nicer sit-and-soak experience than the standard modern tub. 1. Clawfoot tub. Can look classy as gently caress. Not any longer or wider than a standard tub, but can be much deeper. So you can have your boobs and knees underwater at the same time. Get the authentic cast iron for a tub that will last longer than your house. 2. Prepare for old age with a walk in tub. Again the same footprint as a standard tub (or smaller) but deep.  Look how happy she is! Old age never goes out of style.

kastein posted:People who think this have never had to clean under and behind a clawfoot tub. Picture the scunge that collects behind a toilet on the floor, but 5 feet back (if you were silly enough to put it close to a wall) and/or several feet back under the tub. I've lived in several old houses that had claw foot tubs. Yeah, that area at the back is hard to clean. But it's also hard to see. So just don't think about it.

Who What Now posted:We considered a walk-in tub for our own bathroom renovation, but they are A) ridiculously expensive and B) supposedly not terribly convenient. They are ridiculously expensive. It has to have a door that seals like a submarine to prevent leaks. The inconvenient part is that since you have to open the door to get in and out, so you have to sit there like a chump while the water fills and drains. Some of them have pumps to make that part faster, but that makes them even more expensive. Though if you are young and agile I suppose you could parkour your way in and out of the tub without opening the door. I'd love to try one some day, they look comfortable.

Antivehicular posted:I have to ask -- is there, or was there ever, a divider between the sunken shower/tub and the toilet, of any sort? Like, is there a shower curtain bar off-camera? Or is it assumed that taking a bath/shower in privacy in there means closing off the whole bathroom? It may be a moot point depending on the bathrooms:residents ratio of the home, but I can't imagine how awkward this situation could get. What? When someone is using the tub/shower nobody else gets to use the room, shower curtain or not. I'm not going to be soaking in the tub while a family member is making GBS threads 2 feet away, even if the shower curtain is closed so we don't actually see each other. What you do in a single bathroom home is if you are planning to do anything that will take more than 15 minutes is holler out "I'm gonna take a bath, anyone need to use the bathroom first?" If nobody needs to go, it's assumed you have the room for up to an hour.

Antivehicular posted:What's up with the really low sink on this one? Disability accommodation? Small children? What? Is that carpet? I thought it was gravel. Anyway, I think that sink might be a bidet? It seems to be the same height as a toilet. Though that doesn't make much sense either, the faucet isn't quite right and who builds a separate bidet in 2017 instead of one of those fancy all-in-one deals? Maybe it is a foot washing sink?

Breetai posted:Okay granted if they got rid of the built-in piss-sponges (and voyeur chair) in the first one and added some cupboard space it would be fine, and the second one isn't to my taste at all which is why the additional cleaning required wouldn't be worth it to me, but if you swapped out my bog-standard function-before-form tile-n-porcelain bathroom with that third one I'd demand you switch it back. The vanity is a disaster, but the giant stone bathtub looks cool. Your rear end could be set in stone.
