Cork floor in the bathroom. Should I do ditra?
Comments (4)We have cork (glue down tiles) in our kitchen and love them and haven't had any issues for over 8 yrs. However, when we were redoing our bathroom and I asked about cork for the bathroom, I was told it wasn't a good choice for bathrooms because of water getting under the tiles. Not sure if this was the truth or not, but you might want to investigate before committing....See MoreWhat should I do with this bathroom wall?
Comments (11)Hang 2 towel bars close to the rear of the tub for easy convenience, one above the other, 1 higher with hand towels and another lower for bath towels (hang towels on rods to see what height is best, before installation. I would hang 2 large pictures, matching size & frames (maybe black frames) center these 2 between the moved towel bars and the other end of the wall. I would also paint the walls a real color. Beige or off white is so blah. I wish everyone would get over whites & beige for all their wall paint. Why be boring and look like everyone else that has no ideas. Live a little. Do this in the rest of our home as well. Never go with the "in" thing because it is "in". Life is too short. Be an independent thinker....See MoreWhat type of drywall should I use for bathroom walls?
Comments (10)Sagging has a lot to do with ceiling joist spacing. With the advent of trusses for roof framing, the 16” on center stick framed joists went to 24” on center. And you can’t really modify the bottom chords of a truss to add additional bracing without an OK from the engineer. A 24” span is a lot to ask of 1/2”. Especially in a humid climate with the typical poor air sealing into the attic that happens from builders. I prefer 5/8” X type for ceilings for greater rigidity....See MoreLarge amount of mold in bathroom. What should I do?
Comments (8)I consider that a severe mold problem. It can be DIY if you have the skills needed to demolish and replace the drywall - including the ceiling. If the studs are infected as well, that may require more specialized skill than the average DIY homeowner. You'll need to call in a professional to assess and resolve the ventilation issues - for sure. Health risks of living with mold include migraines, nausea, respiratory duress and rashes, to name a few. Those symptoms can be amplified to dangerous levels if one has or develops an allergy to mold. It's not acceptable to live this way. Do you have another bathroom you can use until this issue is fixed?...See Moreshirlpp
