WWYD: Water from shower leaking under flooring
Comments (2)Put a thick bathmat or throw rug under the door and touching the edge of the shower. After she is all dried off, she needs to put the mat somewhere to dry, and then be sure to use it the next time. Teach her to towel off in the shower before opening the door too. You could also use both--keep a throw rug on the area, and then put a bathmat over it for each shower use, being sure the bathmat touches the edge of the shower and absorbs all the water. Hopefully, the rug underneath will stay bone dry. Otherwise, it will mold too....See MoreSound of water leaking + hot water coming from cold water side
Comments (2)Only happening with one bathroom sink, no hot water in toilet tank or bathtub cold faucet or kitchen sink? In large buildings hot water pressure is kept slightly higher than cold so that problems like this can be detected and fixed quickly because of costs involved in hot water loss. Ask your manager if the hot water system pressure was worked on or any new single lever sink faucets installed anywhere at the time your problem started. At a guess the water flow you hear is not an external leak but some sort of cross connect fault that is then slowly dumping through a leaking toilet tank or perhaps some system valve that isn't tightly shut. If this problem is stumping the person hired to fix it, your condo is not hiring very competent people....See MoreUpstairs Master Suite with other bedrooms downstairs?
Comments (21)Thank you to everyone for their ideas and comments. We are currently working with a designer with engineering experience. There will be another ensuite room downstairs which could function as a 2nd master for resale concerns. @new-beginning - You got the idea for why I don't want all three kids upstairs - thank you! When my sons are in HS, my daughter (and her friends) will be 4-11. My boys are VERY respectful, but I think we all know how *some* boys talk and what they talk about in HS. My boys WILL have friends over and if they're all upstairs having a sleepover or just hanging out, watching a movie or whatever, I really don't want my daughter (and her friends) hearing conversations, etc. that are not age-appropriate for her/them. @Beth H and bossyvossy - I am most definitely NOT letting my kids decide anything about this house! They actually don't want to leave our current house at all :) They won't have any say on anything in their room or the house set up or anything! This is all for how we believe the flow will work best for our family. @chocolatesnap - You may be right, but right now, we cherish our time after the kids go to sleep. That's the only time we have to watch a movie together or enjoy a glass of wine or whatever. I am sure that we would still be able to isolate ourselves on the same floor with the kids though. Thanks again, everyone. I think while the upstairs retreat still sounds amazing to me...the costs involved with adding a second floor probably outweigh the benefits....See MoreIs having 2 master bedrooms by reducing # of bedrooms a pro or a con?
Comments (24)Multiple thoughts, not all in line with the majority: - Five bedrooms is a huge house. The potential field of buyers who want the space and upkeep of a house that large (and who can afford it) is relatively small. More plainly, You're looking to build a house that only a small percentage of buyers can afford to buy. Wanting a thing and being able to afford a thing aren't the same. Your pool of resale buyers will be small, so selling could take a long time, or you might be forced to take less than you want. - Yes, people will like the idea of a "master up and a master down": live-in space for mom, space for a live-in nanny or elder care-giver. Plenty of reasons people would like the space. But the real question is, Will your resale buyer be willing to pay what it will cost you to build it? Personally, I think you'll attract plenty of interest, but you may not attract the necessary dollars at resale to make this worthwhile. - How old are these small children? By the time you finish building this house, they'll probably be at least a year older -- how long will you want to have bedrooms close by? - I'm a highly practical person: you're talking about a short time when kids are small. To save money, could you sleep in a "non-master" upstairs for this short time, then move downstairs? - How "master" do you see your "masters"? That is, when you say "master bedroom", are you envisioning a slightly larger room with a modest walk-in closet and a private 3-piece bath ... or does "master" to you mean a spacious room with a seating area, a massive closet and a luxury bath? The question isn't just, "Should I have two masters?" It's, "Just how much will I put into a master?" Your own vision of "how much" can make a world of difference in this question. - Don't overbuild for your neighborhood. Remember that the biggest, most expensive house in the neighborhood is "drawn down" by the more modest houses that surround it. - Summary: Don't be caught up in just whether this is a desirable idea -- it is. Consider first and foremost whether it is an economically viable idea....See Moremainenell
