pros and cons of hand-held shower
Comments (11)Looking at the picture from Houzz, I suppose that their fixed shower head is larger than a typical handheld, so one might want to install both to have a specialized fixed shower head as well as the advantages of a handheld. However, not only do you need to pay for both shower heads, but also you need to pay for both to be plumbed. I don't remember if I commented on a previous post of yours, but I have only a handheld and I love it. I use it in its regular position to shower and I use it to rinse down the walls and shower curtain at the end of every shower. It's made a HUGE difference in soap scum! It's also fantastic for washing things like the refrigerator shelves after I dropped an open bottle of barbeque sauce... :)...See MorePros and cons to door-mount trash cans?
Comments (19)O. M. G. I just went to the rev-a-shelf website. Now I know it is true that this whole business is peopled with completely obsessive folks; it is dawning on me very slowly how utterly outclassed I am. As an inveterate mess-retainer, married to a hopeless slob, I really didn't know how much effort was devoted to de-stuffage-ing. Zelmar, when I first read about your compost setup I couldn't picture it and really was unclear of its utility. I just might become a convert. Someone, plllog perhaps, noted wanting a lid for their compost. It may depend on local conditions, but I've found that lids on compost are more trouble than they're worth. You'll be dumping the goods before it starts to smell and the lid just interferes with acquisition as well as de-acquisition, plus it gets dirty and needs cleaning (before such time as it just breaks of course). I had a beautiful ceramic vase-shaped compost bucket with an iris painted on it by an artist in Monmouth, ME -- it kept breaking and I even bought a new one. But I've given up on that; compost bins need bonking on the compost walls. Now I use a square 2-quart food service plastic bucket; perfect size, shape, etc. I've never mounted it on a door but I bet it could be gerry-rigged as zelmar has above. But again, I don't even see the need of a top. Just install a wire cage for the bucket so it will lift out and be done with it. Even if there are dogs or skunks around, a kid-latch on the cabinet door should help....See Morebarn door pros cons
Comments (65)I think even if you love the look and functionality of barn doors (and for the record, I don’t) the fact is they ARE trendy. And whether or not they’re already “out”, I think it’s pretty certain that they will eventually be “out”, and will look dated. If it doesn’t matter to you, and you’re not concerned about the resale aspect, then enjoy!...See MorePros and cons of door-less showers?
Comments (2)We have had doorless showers with heated bathroom floors for 30 years. We turn the water on for a little bit before getting in to take any chill off. Once I am in the shower under the water and when I get out I am fine. My husband really doesn’t like to be cold and he doesn’t mind it either. In our old house there was a big window right next to the shower, looking out into the woods, no neighbors. Occasionally, when it was very cold and windy outside I would notice somewhat of draft. Not in our new house, where the windows are on the other side of the room. If you really like the closed up shower, hot steam room feel, you might not like an open shower. I love the expansive feel of it and don’t miss the steam room aspect at all....See Moremillworkman
