I've never lived anywhere that had either a bathroom or kitchen vent or fan  Windows seem to work fine.

I want to lower my tub 2 inches so I can surround it with shards of broken glass the  will love it. My design asthetic is inspired by Mortimer and Bella Goth. What is the appropriate saw for removing the top of my joists? I need this to be able to support a concrete tub that will 47.961 gallons of water.

I think they were just taking a breather before reinforcements arrived. I'm giving it a couple more days with traps and such, and then I'm calling building management.

FCKGW posted:Do you goons just fill up bathtubs to the rim and cannonball in or something? Who needs a drain on the outside of their bathtub? As well as what everyone else has said, the tub is intended to be an "infinity tub" (like an infinity pool but smaller), which is filled up to the rim and has a basin underneath to catch and drain away the overflow and a low-profile faucet to keep it refilled. I guess there'll be a time limit for how long you can use bathroomgoon's new tub before the recessed box full of rocks overflows from normal use

Drains on bathroom floors? Really, this isn’t the ymca. Teach your kids to dry off before flailing about in your 7x5 bathrooms.

Acquaintances of mine have a similar bathroom in terms of number of fixtures but with a center room glass enclosure shower than contains the showers and tub. German clean chrome / white / grey tile with loads of natural light and a couple of plants instead of artwork. It certainly approaches the line - but their interior designer and architect kept it just on the right side of home vs spa hotel. If I’m ever there again I’ll grab a couple of pics.

insta posted: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. PurpleXVI posted: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. You towel off when in the tub and then when you splash the tiny amount on the water on the floor when you get out you just throw a towel on the floor and wipe it up. Thanks for proving my point guys.

The rocks are for decoration only.

Here in Finland bathrooms in new buildings are built with 2 floor drains. That way you can pass out drunk on top of the shower drain and not cause a flood.

If I ever get a house, I'm going to get one of these:  Mostly because I keep stepping on the shower drain and also if the shower ever leaks, it'll just drip into the drain.

Platystemon posted:Is this… a common problem in Finland? You hear about it happening surprisingly often, especially in student housing. Drunk people love taking showers apparently. I once worked on designing a building that was going to be housing for homeless/alcoholics. Bathrooms there had to have three floor drains. One in the shower, one under the sink and one of those rectangular ones in the doorway. The logic was that someone might clog one with vomit and THEN pass out while showering. Third drain would then save the day!

Okay so, sorry for the artist's rendition of this. I work retail, and the other day a back door buzzer was malfunctioning and continuously going off, so I climbed up into the drop ceiling to yank the wires. I was curious so looked around up there, and found this idiocy.  Two lengths of insulated copper pipe, cut off around the pipe hangers and just left to dangle right above the sales floor. They're a good 5 feet long apiece, I'm not sure what the thought process was here when they removed these pipe runs. "Let's just make 4 cuts instead of clipping the pipe hangers. gently caress it, beer time!" The building was a grocery store at one point, so there's tons of this kind of poo poo. Just recently we found an unhooked water heater upstairs in a mechanical room behind the main air handler, the pipes cut off but it's still wired into an electrical run. We find random runs of wiring just chilling all over, no idea if any of it is still live, but they don't pay me enough to find out.

I'm guessing a plumber was hired to disconnect a water supply to somewhere, and took the side job of stripping the copper piping for resale as well. Being only a single person, he had to leave the pipes 'hung' while he cut them so they would be manageable, and just left these stubs as either not worth it or he ran out of time.

My guess is that's a drop ceiling, and that at the time they were cutting the pipes out, there was a piece of heavy furniture directly under the pipe hangers. So the plumber or whoever stood on a ladder on either side of the furniture, and could reach those points on the pipe, but could not reach the hangers.

An awful lot of pianos with really nice woodwork get trashed because vastly fewer people play piano any more, so I'm glad to see one get salvaged. On the other hand, they should've removed the pillars, and I have no clue how they expect to keep the thing clean.

Agreed about the pillars, i'd also like to see them continue it to down to the counter and maybe even cut out the back and do a different tile there? It could be really, really cool
