i hope there's a lesson here about the relative wisdom of "hey, here's a really funny thread with a sorta goofy OP! better screw it up before it can get good."

i had a moss bathmat for a while and it was pretty legit and was nice on the feet (and not dirty) but it was hard to keep it evenly watered, standing on it after a shower for 30 seconds is actually not enough shockingly

If nothing else this thread has delivered immensely for me because someone else just linked me to it and I actually got to say the words "oh I've seen that, I had to ban someone for doxing a bathroom."

i'm probably just super weird about it but i'd straight up cut it shorter, install a small junction box near the top, and run a wire down to the outlet along the stud. if i bring the shame of loving up measuring a wire on myself, i gotta own it.

Mr. Mambold posted:need a poindexter STAT to figure via the hypotenuse if 1" slack is enough yeah just leave an inch in the box and use those wire holes on the back of the outlet, it'll be legit. people who leave some wire in the box are just wasteful. edit: PLUS it's gonna be GFCI (please say it is) so it'll be a deeper plug anyways, yeah just leave almost nothing in the box and then staple it to the stud every two inches SoundMonkey fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Apr 18, 2017 |

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 oh, right you are. get those pigtails outside the junction box, no room for wasted space in a proper DIY job. semi-related: the house i just bought, much like the house i'm currently renting, has normal outlets in the bathroom (with "GFCI Protected" stickers) and a GFCI breaker on the other end of them. is this legit? i mean obviously it's legit because it's legal to sell GFCI breakers but am i looking at downsides?

bEatmstrJ posted:I have a couple of AFCI breakers in my house, then there is one GFCI outlet downstream of a bunch of normal ones. Not sure if the AFCI breakers are also hooked to the GFCI circuits (never bothered to check), but almost all of my bathroom outlets are normal outlets with stickers on them with a feed from a single GFCI outlet. i respect you and i respect the hilarity of this thread but i hope you won't be offended if i decline to take bathroom wiring advice from you, even if it's on a snype

OP I'm glad you're getting actual engineers and people who don't want to crush their kitchen island with their taint when they fall through their floor, but I gotta admit a tiny part of me was hoping for a basement-pool-next-to-electrical-panel horror show. Congrats on that, though.

bEatmstrJ posted:Typically there would be an access panel installed on the other side of the wall. Look at some of my before pictures and you'll see a couple of outlet boxes that were in place under the old tub frame for the jacuzzi plugs. But there's also an access panel right under the window. Hopefully they installed, or were planning on installing an access panel. do people still install jacuzzi tubs in tyool 2017? i thought we were all aligning our chakras in hanging teardrop-shaped glass bathing vessels now or whatever. every time i see one in a hotel i'm like poo poo yeah jacuzzi tub then end up just having a shower because i'm tired

bEatmstrJ posted:The vast majority of the remaining work has been contracted out, including the vanity wall plumbing and repair. Only a few minor things will remain once they are done. I even talked myself into adding a steam shower which wasn't on the final plans (was up in the air about it). okay so level with me. diy is great but sometimes it goes bad. sometimes it goes bad enough you have to get pros to fix it. in the end, was it worth the diy, even considering that? are you getting the bathroom you wanted, roughly, in the end?
