Our New Master Bath
Comments (5)Hi Ann, There is travertine on the borders, the ledge of the edge of the shower and the little cubby for soap. The floor and the wall were ceramic tile. We wish we could afford an all travertine bath, but since we had the lighter ceramic on the wall, it made the decorative stuff stand out more. I also thought about removing the bathtub (1 use in 3 years), but was to chicken cause of resale value. The only thing it was good for was holding my potted plants during the winter. I'm really enjoying my bath. And from my experiences with our contractors, I have to say, never assume nothin'! What they have in their minds may not be what you have in your mind. All the best and please post those photos when you are done. Esther...See MoreAnnouncing Our 100% FINISHED Master Bath
Comments (29)Monica, Thanks for the prompt reply, and I will try Wave Plumbing. After I posted last evening I went on the net and found a place or two. I found a Vent/Heater for $180, but Vent/Heat/Light was around $230.00. You must have the Vent/Heater product for about $170. Thanks also for the ballpark on the custom cabinet-making. I understand your chagrin over the heated floors. I am currently battling that decision and I am gun-shy because of Flyleft's and Codnuggets' recent problems. I was also strongly considering the Thermasoft product because, with the current sale, it was coming in at about half price of SunTouch. Always a decision! And I, too, am laughing out loud at a 1-month projection. However, I am pretty close to the end, though (after a nearly 4-year lay-off in the project's completion). However, 4 years ago, I didn't know about heated floors, Kerdi showers, heated towel racks, and I thought the Nutone vent was as good as the Panasonic. I've got all you "loverly" new friends on this forum to thank for that! So how many more months do you think I should add to my projection, Grammuffy? :)) I'm also concerned about not driving my "good-guy" contractor and his workers to drink with all my "new-fangled ideas" about Kerdi and stuff. No contractor in sunny, humid Houston ever even heard of heated floors! I would just like the luxury of keeping my little footsies nice and toasty on the 3 days of winter we have each year. I think they're coming up in March. :) Anne...See MoreFunny smell in master bath of new house
Comments (3)Yep, septic tank backups smell.. worse than funky. Can you do something that causes the smell? Or maybe I'm asking: does it appear at a particular time of day? After a shower or bath? When the room temp is warmer than usual or cooler than usual? Is the smell only in that one room? If so, is it stronger near the ceiling or floor or by a cabinet or which wall --- and you'll have to take breaks while sniffing 'cuz our noses get vague in about 30 seconds. If you can narrow down the location, does the room on the other side of the wall have the same smell in the same area, even if less. Does it seem stronger or weaker after the a/c or heat runs? Sweet-funky... like over-ripe fruit? Is there a chemical after-taste? Does it make your eyes water or your nose runny? Okay -- way off the wall guesses without any supporting knowledge: Something dropped into the vent (shouldn't if the vent is properly capped). Play-dough stuffed somewhere like under a shelf [it usually smells when hot]. A finish on the grout or tile which off-gasses when hot or warm-&-wet [will also smell if the room is closed up overnight]. Off-gassing from wallpaper paste [ditto]. A new carpet - my last one did indeed have a peculiar sweetish smell when first laid down; if so, wash and put ¾ cup vinegar in the rinse. Rotting fruit [banana? papaya?] left inside the wall, or in/near an air duct. Look underneath all drawers and shelves... for gum or ? Could somebody be using a hairspray, deodorant, powder, shampoo, or soap which has a similar smell [sniff packages and wrappers]? Fabric softener on the towels? New plastic anything?...See MoreSneak Peek of our Unfinished Master Bath
Comments (26)Lol, the toilet does not feel private! It's next to the shower. We could have relocated it to a closet close by, but it would have been cramped and windowless. We could also have combined the tub and shower and put the toilet up one end or other. The toilet location was the biggest challenge with the width of the room, but there's a door and we close it while using the toilet, so it doesn't really matter where it is....See MoreRelated Professionals
