Has anyone installed one of these next to toilet?
Comments (29)I don't know about middle east, but yes, those are common in europe. Because washing with water is cleaner than wiping with paper after a #2. If there is a showerhead next to the toilet, as in the picture, it's called a douche. If there is a separate toilet bowl looking thing, it's a bidet. You probably seen those before. I think they are just too messy, so I like the japanese way where there is a automatic water wash system build into the toilet. I have been using them for years now and love it. Toto has one called Washlet. Kohler has the Numi and Duravit has the sensowash. They are more common now and a lot more brands carry them, even costco has them.(not by toto or duravit).. If you want one, Toto is probably the best.....See MoreHas anyone used can-style recessed Light/Fan combo like this one?
Comments (10)hi! i've put 2 of those in our bath(rather large)...one directly over the shower and one in the toilet enclosure right next to the shower...STILL haven't been able to shower because are now waiting for glass...but i installed these because a friend of mine has them and LOVES them-she says it's very effective being right over the shower. i can say that it's a pretty quiet fan(MUCH quieter than the builders special that we had) and looks just like a recessed light! you can also wire so it's just the fan or just the light which i like. that's all can tell you right now....except that they're also very reasonably priced too!...See MoreHas anyone bought sinks/faucets online??? Please help!
Comments (17)OK> So, I'm reading this post due to a recent experience with the plumber my GC is using for our renovation. I got a babysitter to watch my toddler so I could go look at fixtures at their showroom with my baby. So, I get there and they don't have many of the nicer brands on display- they want to show me everything in a catalog!! Well, thank you but I can do that at home. So, fine- I briefly look at the catalog and pick a few things to get prices. They gave me some pricing and I left. So- wouldn't you want to see products in person if you plan to invest nearly $2000 on them?? I dragged my two small children to another local plumbing outfit to see the higher end stuff I got quoted for at the previous place. The prices were more than $500 different!!! I mean to do I have stupid written on my head b/c I have a newborn? Do they just think I don't have time to research and will just take their price?? This mother has an MBA thank you very much. Fine. So I talked to my contractor and he said to approach them on the issue. I did. They claim their product is better quality and that you can get the same things from other dealers but they aren't as heavy... blah blah blah. That may be true for some Kohler fixtures, but not Rohl!!! And I don't even believe them at that. For the amount of money saved I can buy a whole new fixture in a few years if I decide to change it or it goes bad!! Can someone please tell me if these people are just jerking around with me?? I thought about how they may try to pad the rest of the bill if they adjust the fixture prices, so I'm not really sure what to do with this mess. This is why I do NOT trust vendors like this- b/c of dishonest people who try to make excuses for their ridiculous prices....See MoreHas anyone bought fencing on line?
Comments (9)Hi guys As per usual, we got off track w/ the fencing to put yet another fire out. We haven't done anything about our fencing except to write to you here on gardenweb. We have our mtg in front of the zoning board in 2 weeks for our home-based swim lesson business so we've been frantic about making sure we are all set for that. I did just get a letter today from our town's building inspector informing us that we never got our final inspection done for the pool build and that if not done in the next 15 days there would be some sort of hell to pay. Our installation of the enclosure isn't 100% done yet so I didn't think we were even on the radar for final inspection. Can we pass inspection w/ our orange temporary construction fence?? We can't put the permanent fence up yet until we get our answer from the zoning board; if we get a yes, we need to connect our enclosure to the house by way of a vestibule to make it truly an in-home business. If not, the two structures stay separated. Our fencing needs will depend on the board's answer. Aye yi yi... Joanne...See MoreMonique Barrow
