Can you help with this oddball bath tub?
Comments (11)My Ultra Bain air tub looks similar. Has raised area at the, er, rear. Has arm rests and handles and a head rest. It's acrylic and heated. I chose mine to fit *me*, since DH prefers a shower. I was able to 'try one on' in a plumbing company's showroom. I wanted to be able to brace my feet so I wouldn't just slip right down underwater. I also wanted something that would fill in a short time. (We have a whirlpool tub that I never use because it takes ages to fill.) My tub is 14 years old. Zero problems. Easy to clean. Air tubs 'blow out' remaining water a few minutes after you exit them so there is no mold forming in the tubing. I have a regular fill faucet and a spray rinse on a diverter....See MoreWhat color should we paint the exterior of our home?
Comments (0)We dislike the yellowish, two-tone color scheme that our house had when we bought it and are considering painting it all one color, including the brick. The shingles will also be replaced soon. We want an earthy neutral tone in keeping with our wooded lot and are leaning toward greiges and sages. Any advice would be appreciated!...See MoreNew Home Build - Help!
Comments (18)Why not assume that the builder bought the plan with a license for multiple usages? They do sell those. Or, assume that the owner purchased a plan sold on line for their one-time personal use. I bought one of those, used it and modified it significantly. I doubt the designer ever intended their design to be built unmodified once they sold it on the internet. The license is for one use and unless it specifies no modifications, it is subject to modification without need of permission or additional fees. I think the original poster did due diligence, made contact, requested modifications and the original designer failed to respond or provide a solution after multiple attempts. This license owner could not use the design in it's original state and their purchase was useless to them without modifications. The designer certainly wasn't offering to refund the fee for the design. The failure to respond freed the purchaser of the design to proceed with modifications as they deemed reasonable in order to utilize their purchase. I hope they enjoy their new home once they get the framing issues resolved with their builder....See MoreExterior paint feedback please - we went white and it isn't right!
Comments (44)I guess it is just me, but I really do not see any issues with the columns... They are substantial; and it is nice to see columns that look like they could actually hold something up! In fact, I don’t see any problems with the exterior structure of the house. I also think the new white paint color(s) look good; and I suspect the OP may feel differently, after getting adjusted to the dramatic change. The landscaping also looks good; although I might focus a bit more there, as well as perhaps enhanced lighting around house and on grounds. A landscape designer might be helpful, at least for a consultation. Still retaining simple landscaping, as you have it now, OP - simple and modern type of landscaping. I just think it could possibly be a bit more cohesive, as well as more striking. And I think this may give the exterior more of the visual interest, that you perceive as lacking now, because of the color change....See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
