Bathroom Reveal, Thanks to the Bathroom and Remodel Forums! (pic
Comments (56)This old thread got revisited. @dani_m08 to answer the question about extra probe, I believe I ordered an extra one when I bought the set up. The probe wire is just setting in the junction box I think but honestly I cant remember. When I laid out the underfloor heating and the probe, I just ran another probe near the first probe, and it was then sealed into the floor self leveling compound as per instructions. then the end was just threaded into the wall like the one that would be live, and not connected, but just laying there in the box. Regarding the tile layout. I just decided to run it this way, after getting instructions on the 90Degree way, IIRC. The herringbone that I love is from my childhood and the side walks in my neighborhood that all ran at 45Degree. so that to me is herringbone. I know you posted on @sochi thread about her amazing bathroom and a wall mounted faucet. I would totally do it if I had the right sink for it. In my case I had made my sink out of soapstone and an integrated backsplash. The pictures of this bathroom reveal are no longer available because of the use of photo bucket, when it was Gardenweb. I did not keep my account with photo bucket. I'll add some of the reveal pictures so you can see the sink and floor. Regarding the sink there is no ledge for water to drip from my hands when using the faucet. The water drips right into the sink. In my other bathroom with a deck mounted faucet I am always wiping up drips and it is a nuisance. I much prefer the setup for this sink. Below: I love the flush finish from the faucet to the bottom of the sink. nothing drips on a counter or edge of a sink. Below: looking in from the doorway. Below: Here I am finishing up the sink. the backsplash was epoxied on as a separate piece. The whole soapstone install in the room took next to nothing to buy as they were all small pieces that I epoxied together with a 3 part stone epoxy. Below: this is the counter at the tub, and is in 2 long pieces but I was able to epoxy them together at there edges to make a wide slab for the top. All the soapstone was finished with a 60 grit sandpaper to be rough and this lovely soft tone of blue/green/gray/white. I did not oil it so this color tone would remain light. Below: If I recall correctly @sochi helped me decide on this Hubberton Forge Mirror. I have 3 different metals in this room, but they are all a cool silver to black color. Below: the center of this tower shares space with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. there is also some extra space that houses some electrical wiring. this is an old simple house. this bathroom was an add on when it got move to the farm in the 30s IIRC. The plumbing was all rearrange and some of the details that were orignially there I kept but updated it, such as this tower feature. The old one went and the carpenter did a wonderful job with this one. Below: This feature was another thing I kept from the old bathroom but flipped it from the other end and had the carpenter put drawers in it. Before it was a hell hole. things got lost and the build was soooo old and creapy I didn't like using it for storage. Now it is perfect for storage....See MoreDamp concrete slab in bathroom
Comments (5)The head of the bathtub/shower is what is next to the toilet, and it's 7 foot wall. Water would have to take a large turn around the corner to get by the toilet, so that would have to some impressive shower splashing to get there! Our concern was more that maybe a pipe had broken underneath in the concrete slab -- is that possible, and if so, would it cause the dampness that we're seeing? I do think the more likely explanation is the toilet, though, considering the pattern of the water in the linoleum (looks like it spread out from the base of the toilet). We've owned this house for 3 years -- the dark marks in the floor were there when we bought it, so obviously the toilet was leaking before we bought it. We actually had a new wax ring installed a year and a half ago, by a professional plumber, and yet in that time, there appears to still have been dampness issues. I would hope a plumber would be able to install a wax ring correctly! Does that suggest to you a problem with the toilet itself? We were thinking of doing the following: 1) Having a plumber come in and look at the toilet flange and make sure it looks good, and if not, have him replace it. It actually looks kind of old and questionable to us, so it may be part of the problem. 2) We'll go ahead and install our new tile floor. 3) Buy a new toilet, just in case the problem was actually with the toilet itself (it was here when we bought the house; have no idea how old it is). 4) Have the plumber back out and install it, since I don't want to take any chances with this.

Comments (4)We were considering it for our shower as an alternative (we thought it would also be less expensive) to quartz. We were quoted 25k just to put it in the shower. I was shocked, but apparently it is really difficult to cut....See MoreRecessed horizontal metal piece behind bathroom drywall
Comments (1)That is the old (metal) electrical wall box support. If it is in good, stable condition, you could mount a new recessed electrical wall box to it. Your electrical connection for the fixture must be in a wall box, also provides mounting/fastening location for the fixture, depending on fixture type....See More
