Comments (7)"You can just listen on your computer, tablet or smart phone?" Yes - that's exactly how they work. Pandora, Slacker and Spotify are websites to connect to, and most have custom apps for most hardware types beyond just PCs. The signups are free. They have a multitude of preconfigured genre stations, but in addition users can have personally customized stations - Say you want to listen to Beatles music, you create your own "station", give it a name, and tell them what artists to include. If a song comes up you don't like, there's a place to click that says "Don't play this song again on this station". If a song comes you up don't want to listen to at the moment but you do at a later time, you can skip on to the next song on the playlist. Each site will remember your stations and preferences for use at a later date. Sites like I Heart Radio and TuneIn are different, they aggregate streams of broadcast stations so that you can find them all in one place. You're in Denver, but like a radio station located in Seattle. If the Seattle station provides an internet stream, these two sites (and others) allow you to listen to it. Most radio stations block live sports broadcasts, so it's not a way to listen to your favorite Dodgers play-by-play when you're in London. "The article mentions "home audio systems." Are there systems which hook up to wi-fi so you can listen to music that way?" Exactly. If you want just a stand-alone player in your kitchen, for example, take a look at products (called Internet Radios or Wifi Radios) by Sangean or Grace. If you want a more comprehensive system to connect to a stereo or standalone speakers and to play a digitized music collection IN ADDITION TO the above discussed internet sources, then consider Sonos or Apple Airport Express. Both of these different types of products can be controlled from a PC, but they also have apps that allow you to control them from any tablet or smartphone. Also, some TVs or disk players come with Pandora or Slacker apps, to stream the music through the TV. With a smartphone and a Pandora or similar account, you can connect the phone to your car's audio system (through Bluetooth, or an AUX or USB connection) and continue to listen to the internet sound source while you drive....See MoreStream Shower - feedback/guidance needed
Comments (7)Just a few points to ponder, I'm only posting because of the content of the last paragraph of my post. 1) The steam generator is sized to the volume of the space as well as the materials selected in building the shower. 2) Insulation behind the tile can result in a more efficient performing steamer. 3) Waterproofing behind the tiles isn't good enough. You need vapor-proofing as well. Meaning vapor impermeable. There are a few excellent waterproofing membranes that will perform perfectly well in a shower that are not qualified to be used in a steamer. "I always use this waterproofing membrane" is not good enough. "I always use this water and vapor-proofing membrane that has an appropriate perm rating for a residential steam shower" is a move in the right direction. The vapor proofing needs to be on all six sides of the cube. A surface applied vapor-proof membrane will minimize moisture penetration into the wall/floor/ceiling structure. Using a foam backer board the has a vapor-proof membrane on its surface kills two stones with one bird. 4) Slope the ceiling to prevent or at least minimize droplets of cooler condensation from raining down upon you. 5) Don't place the steam outlet where the generated steam can burn you. 6) Everything needs to be sealed for vapor. Doors properly gasketed. Glass-to-tile junctions properly detailed. Vapor-proof light fixtures. Any plumbing penetrations in the walls. Etc. 7) Avoid natural stone and consider only using porcelain tile due to porcelain's low absorption of moisture. Steamers are fairly straight-forward to build for those that properly plan the build with the proper components and then build according to the plan. It's all in the details. Shortcuts are not allowed. Moisture vapor will find and exploit those shortcuts due to the vapor drive that steamers create. So many of get screwed up because the builder instead builds a basic shower and adds a steam generator to it. And the people that do that are the ones that usually screw up the simple shower builds. Last summer a friend referred me to his neighbor. She had paint blistering on the exterior siding on her house, the siding was painted cedar clapboard siding. Pop the paint blisters and they were full of water. On the other side of that wall? A steam shower that had natural marble tile over cement board. The marble had iron content, so it was rusting from within. Orange-brown blotches all over. The stone was pretty ugly. And I love marble. There was no waterproofing anywhere in the walls or ceiling. No vapor proofing. Built during covid, as she was working from home during covid. She used the steamer near daily. The resulting interior gut job for moisture abatement was impressive. It was amazing how saturated the structure of the rooms surrounding that steamer was. On the other side of the steamer was a walk-in closet. Smelled a bit but looked beautiful. Until you took clothes off either the top or bottom hanging rod. The closet wall and the clothes against that wall were covered in mold. You could put your finger against the drywall and poke it though with minimal effort. Move dresser away from one of the bedroom walls and the wall was covered in mold, as was the backside of the dresser, with some mold inside the dresser. Just ugly....See More- 3 years ago
