Completed Master Bath With Pictures
Comments (13)The shower is 5 x 5 (60 inch square). We don't have a tub in the room and that allowed for more floospace to be devoted to a very big shower, which I love. It's nice and roomy. I use the ledge for shaving legs and also propping a leg up to so I don't have to bend down to soap up the lower part of my leg and foot! The bench is out of the way and so doesn't detract from the size of the shower or make it feel cramped in any way. It could be used for sitting, but I never do that. I discovered an additional unexpected but very nice advantage of having such a large shower, which is that it doesn't seem to require as much cleaning as other smaller showers I have had in the past. Let me explain....since I shower while standing in the center of this big square "box", the soap, shampoo, and water don't really get splashed onto the walls of the shower very much, because I'm actually standing pretty far from the walls. The wall where the showerhead is and the bottom tiles that meet the shower pan all around do get a little wetter, but nothing much gets on the rest of the tiles throughout the shower. Even the shower glass doesn't get very wet. I clean the inside of the shower once every other week, but could probably go longer than that. There never seems to be any buildup of anything. This is with two adults using it on a daily basis. Best of luck with your project and please post pictures when you're done!...See MoreI completed my DIY Air Handler Installation
Comments (10)Day 4 Update: I'm well into phase 2 which is the heat pump portion of the install. Yesterday I removed the old HP and brought the new HP to the site and set it on a new condenser pad. Today's fun project was crawling thru my crawlspace removing old refrigerant line and installing a new 50' lineset. My wife fed me the tubing thru a conduit feedthru I made thru the foundation of my garage right next to the air handler. Surprise #1 The lineset went thru the conduit just fine but hit a stub of a 2X4 hanging below a beam in the crawlspace. It was just a spacer for a water pipe but as luck would have it it was perfectly in line with the conduit feedthru. That was fun cutting off the stub laying on my back. Threading the lineset was slow going because the route was S shaped instead of a straight shot. I had to gradually bend the shape after every 4-5' was fed thru. It's now hung and tie wrapped with nice gradual bends. This time I got lucky since I have about 1-2' extra from a 50' spool. Surprise #2 It was really nice of Mueller to provide a 90 degree ell in the end of the lineset. However it now points 180 degrees from where it needs to to connect to the air handler. Trying to turn 50' of installed lineset 180 degrees just won't happen. I'll guess I'll just have to use a street elbow fitting. Next weekends fun project with be brazing all connections and doing leak testing, evacuation, final charge and checkout. Doing a project like this gives me newfound respect for the pros that do this type of work day in day out....See MoreHelp! How to find pieces to complete my bedroom?
Comments (11)I found some info: it's from the discontinued San Juan Collection by Progressive Furniture and is distressed pine. There's two nightstands by that company in similar finishes that are available, but I would try to find a night stand or side table with a metal base and pine top between 29" to 34" in height (or a smidge higher, your mattress looks thick). I think that would look good. Chunky painted nightstands, as suggested, would also work! https://www.rcwilley.com/Furniture/Bedroom/Sets/Cal-King/3439010/4-Piece-Cal-King-Bedroom-Set-View This accent table is a little too dark but wanted to give an idea:...See MoreBird of paradise top completed
Comments (11)Donna, that is the pattern I made too. Yours turned out lovely. Your border fabric is perfect. I did mine in all solids, but I love the textured look of your leaves. Beautiful work. I know how hard it was....See Moremsmeow
