Our small (and, it turns out, moldy) secondary bathroom is complete and I want to thank all those who gave feedback on tile choices, door vs curtain, etc. Y’all saved us from some costly mistakes!

Comments (97)We generally prefer historical cost basis over any time of assessment, so what you paid for an item. However, one problem with the historical cost basis for ad valorem taxes is it adjusts for realized gains and losses while not adjusting for holding gains and losses. This means that two identical houses would pay two different taxes based on the last time they were sold. This isn't quite fair so to remedy this, ad valorem taxes are occasionally adjusted to compensate somewhat for holding gains and losses. In other words, we don't want people who bought 3 acres next to Central Park 65 years ago, to be paying property taxes on $100,000 when an identical property next door pays taxes on $15,000,000. That is the entire purpose of adjusting property values. Improvements aren't simply holding gains, it is putting money into the structure so that it is nicer. If you want to fairly tax improvements you would need a tax on the increased value less a tax credit the amount paid over the marginal assessment value. So, the premise that you have some moral obligation to pay marginally higher taxes because you spent $50,000 for a nicer kitchen that adds only $20,000 to the property value, is one I find questionable. In other words, if you paid more for the remodel than it added in property value you should get a tax credit against the increase. However, that is far too complicated and thus taxing jurisdictions who are acting efficiently and attempting to be fair, avoid increasing valuation for improvements and replacements, but do increase valuation for additions. Now this is completely different than rules that allow select groups to avoid assessment for holding gains and losses....See More1966 straight to 2018 - before and after bathrooms
Comments (10)@Mrs Pete Thanks for the compliments. I'm not that great at envisioning the end result and was a little nervous about it, but wanted to add some pizzazz and our tile guy really knew how to guide me in the selection. The colors don't show as well in these photos, but it coordinates quite nicely. The floor was meant to be the real star of the show. The bottom niche is actually a foot prop for shaving my legs, so yes, I thought the grab bar could be quite handy, especially as we age. I really liked the fact that the mirror would let more of the glass tile show in that area since you can see behind the edges and also that it tilts for a better view of your entire outfit. Thanks for your comments!...See MoreBathroom Remodel Before, in Progress and After Pictures
Comments (12)@thisisnotadrill We had the bathroom stripped to the studs, so we installed a 2x6" notched into the framing (note this was not a load bearing wall) the full length of the vanity. We reinforced the inside of the vanity boxes with large L-brackets and screwed those into the 2x6" (behind the drywall at this point). If you can, it's undoubtedly better to buy a vanity made for wall mounting but we made it work and it's very sturdy. Good luck!...See MoreThis is a before and after of my master bathroom
