Question about shower niche for subway tiled bathroom
Comments (1)Can’t help you with your dilemma, but I would like to say a nay for a niche. Yucky to clean. If you have this possibility, use a shelf instead....See MoreQuestion about shower transom placement/design
Comments (9)Just to be clear, in case anyone else go the impression this is a steam shower, it is not a steam shower. I will only be taking regular showers with the same amount of heat/steam generated by a regular shower. So there isn't nearly as much steam to purge as with a steam shower. And the showers won't be nearly as long as a steaming session. Also, if I do this I plan to tile the ceiling. This kind of brings up an interesting counterpoint to Sophie Wheeler and rococogurl. A steam shower generates way more steam and never has a fan. According to what Sophie's said any steam shower is essentially a petri disk for mold and mildew because they have lots of steam and no fan. The only difference between a typical steam shower and my concept is that my transom (or gap around two complete walls) will be a few inches below the ceiling instead of at the top. But I'm also generating WAY less steam than a steam shower so, logically, it seems like a reasonable tradeoff. Since my shower is 6' x 4' that gap will be ten feet long by 8-10 inches high. That's a big gap. Is that really insufficient to ventilate the steam produced by a regular shower just because it's a few inches below the ceiling?...See MoreWeird question about art placement
Comments (12)Well I kinda..um..have a historical line of mishaps that kinda um..aim at my head lol..starting with a kitten defending himself from my generous help to get off the roof when I was five(I had this scar for years after)..then breaking my nose during a fierce snowball game when I was 12(did someone here ever had a complicated plastic surgery, no anesthesia? they didn't waste anesthesia on me back then..just tied me with belts..if you had it-you know..very helpful for the future when you need to encourage yourself or something)..and then to the various motor vehicle accidents, including being hit by a van.. I wouldn't say it's earthquakes per se..)) I also don't sleep at night for all sorts of reasons but earthquakes. it's more like I'm a well informed optimist lol..chances being hit in the head being statistically slim and all..))) (we had this saying: "a pessimist is a well informed optimist, an optimist is a well instructed pessimist.".))...See MoreI have a silly questions about placement of front door on a Colonial
Comments (19)The OP's house has some small traditional features and it has a gable roof but its definitely not a Cape. A Cape always has a roof steep enough for a second story under the rafters with windows only in the gable ends. The entrance is always under the roof eave; a full cape has 2 windows each side of the door, a 3/4 cape has one on one side and two on the other, a half cape has a window each side of the door. You can drive for a mile through E. Oleans, MA and see very few houses that are not true capes. One story elements are sometimes added to the sides but rarely porches or dormers. Only a realtor would call the OP's house a cape. A Field Guide to American Houses classifies the OP's house as "Minimal Traditional" which is part of a larger category: "Modern" houses....See MoreE W
