How do you surround your tub with plastic fake rocks and not put in any sort of drain.

Worst part is that it's a flip, so you can bet that the new finishes/work is probably poo poo that won't last 15 years, while the original design made it almost a century. With the price history clearly available, why would anyone buy a flip where the price went up almost 2.5x? The Zestimate seems pretty accurate in this case, and it's half of what they listed for.

I admit I am a sucker for old houses, but drat that is bad. Could have done so much better with the existing finishes.

I am down with removing chimneys, but fireplaces are nice decoratively so keep those.

I too stand in the dead-middle of the tub after bathing and wait for all the water to drain, then let Enrique meticulously towel me dry before stepping out.

I totally missed that. That's due to me living in a somewhat-sane real estate market where 'upgrading' a house to be over 2x the median price of other homes in the area would be complete idiocy. The first visitor the new owners are going to get is the local tax assessor. The last tax record is based on the original 1200sq/ft house.

All bathrooms need to have a floor drain at the lowest point in the floor, not just inside the shower if the shower is thoroughly walled off, because there will always end up being water on a bathroom floor, even if you just have a sink, you need this.

Now, this moron made a moat all the way around his bathtub, this moat is now the new lowest point of the bathroom floor. If there's no drain at the bottom of the moat, there's gonna be nasty-rear end water collecting there. It doesn't even have to be from the tub, look at those lovely loving sinks, there's gonna be water splashing everywhere the instant someone does something even mildly energetic in their general vicinity. Or gently caress if he just walks out of the shower without being perfectly towelled. Or, hey, maybe after cleaning the bathroom. Even if it's just a little at a time, it's gonna pool up, and turn into something that smells like mouldy rear end.

The smart way to do this would be to have the rocks under some sort of glass/plexiglass surface so they look nice but nothing seeps down there or gets them filthy outside of dust, but they can still be looked at... aaaaand then to still have a small drain under them just in case.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

My bathroom doesn't have a floor drain, but it also just has a plain tiled floor so if I manage to spill water (and I have young kids, so that happens) it's trivial to swing a mop or a towel through and wipe it up. Those rocks are going to be between the bath and the rug, so you'll get some amount of water. Usually it will probably be little enough that it will evaporate, but if you do spill a bunch now you have a pain in the rear end location to clean up.

It's like a textured backsplash; sure you can live your life without getting poo poo on there, but why make it harder to deal with when it happens, and it's the location most likely to happen?

I'm not saying kitchens and bathrooms shouldn't have a floor drain outside the shower, but I have lived a lot of places in the US and never once seen this outside of a public bathroom.

That's reasonable. Far as I'm aware, though, here in Denmark it's a requirement that there be a floor drain.

sane places have a vent and a fan to suck out the moisture, not floor drains that only deal with large spills (badly)

I thought the vent and fan went without saying. Like ha ha, who would actually make a bathroom without proper ventilation?

All the bathrooms I've seen in Denmark/Sweden/that general area are set up as wet rooms, where in the US that is very rare.

Also your people seem to love exposed plumbing. I kinda like the idea - makes servicing things a lot easier.

I have to admit having our plumbing described as "exposed" seems a bit strange. These days almost everything is made with PEX boxes hidden in the walls(at least if it's a new installation of some sort), and hidden drainage plumbing is also becoming more common(not exactly a fan of that myself, though. Because all it takes is one moron lopping the female end of the pipe for whatever reason and you have a severe shitshow on your hands making things work with commonly available DIY stuff), though really only if you're building something from the ground up. I'm not sure how much more you could hide it without making it an absolute nightmare to reach if anything at all breaks.

Then again, I'd rather have my plumbing visible and functional than hidden and requiring half the bathroom be torn down if something pops. Function before form. Usually the vanities etc. will hide most of it, and all you'll see will be a bit of drainage pipe at the very bottom if you're lying flat on your face on the bathroom floor for whatever reason.
