jasejase Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 We redid our master bath in 2019-2020. That was a fun project. Made a half bath into a full. While we were at it, we redid (sheetrock, trim , and floors) in our master and our son's room. Our house looked like Kosovo for 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickDastardly00 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The master bathroom will get new tile and countertops, fixtures, going to paint and reface the cabinets. Want to install a fan vent light combo where the existing light by the shower is now. Right now it's over her sink which is a weird place for it. Other than that probably the biggest thing we're going to do is remove the existing walk-in shower and glass doors and replace it with a tiled floor to Ceiling shower, there's even room to bring it out a few inches. Wife likes the glass doors that open like a normal door. Wants to ditch the slider doors because the mildew in the tracks is hard to clean and looks like crap when it builds up ♪Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.♫ -Bob Marley, Redemption Song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 with a bit of engineering, it's possible to skip the door altogether on a floor ceiling shower stall. My folks house has two of them. not messing with doors or curtains is really nice Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amusa Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Went to the shop to pick up the Legacy and next thing I was doing is installing (2) tire rack shelves. I was at the shop since 6:30am and I just walked in my house now (6:20pm). I’m so beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My folks house has two of them. not messing with doors or curtains is really nice I built my wife a walk through shower with a soaker tub on the other side in one house we had. No glass, no doors, it was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also throw in a heating unit. Good for those chilly mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Most bathrooms have heat around here, cant speak to PNW bathrooms though. Heated floors are really nice in a bathroom though! Consult with your local code enforcement dept... Likely ok on the exhaust fan depending on the wiring and breaker in place already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasejase Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 we did ours and it's awesome. we also have a good 5' run of base hot water... But we have the floor on a timer in the winter and it's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amusa Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 The broker came through (Today was a bust). I finally got a carrier locked in for Weds for the Legacy. There coming from Orlando, Florida. It was little more but not much. The Carrier been in business for 12 plus years. I already did a quick detailing on the exterior and clean the engine bay. Maybe later on today I clean the rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm25rs Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Finally quit my job. Was in a holding pattern with the new job, thanks to the drug screening clinic uploading my results to the wrong vendor account. Ended up having to do a second drug test. Good thing I didn't sample the legal weed at the Seattle wedding. Gave my 2 weeks notice on Monday (I was on vacation last week), and they had me come in yesterday (Tuesday) for my exit interview. They did it in a hurry since I'm going to a direct competitor. Start date will be Oct 4. Gonna use the time off to get some stuff done around the house that I've been putting off. New kitchen cabinet hinges, bathroom faucet cartridges, clean and repoint marble steps.....and I'm sure there are other things I'll think of.

stm25rs Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Matching cartridges isn't going well. Gonna try a plumbing supply house tomorrow, hopefully better luck than home depot These two looked close enough. It fits in, but no water flow....and yes, I confirmed the supply valve was opened back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amusa Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I became friends with the truck (carrier) driver. He been doing it for over 26 years. I just want to make sure the Legacy will reach to my father in-law in Texas, safe. At least I know it's in good hands. After work I need to head over to the post office so I can send the documents for the Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm25rs Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Brand?Unsure. Nothing on the handles or faucet itself. I'll check under the sink to see if there's any identification there. Took the cartridge to a local plumbing specialty shop and they identified it as a 20 point Euro style broach. There's one other plumbing shop I want to check with. If no luck there, I'll reach out to the company that did the renovation in '07 (before I owned the house) and pray they have any records. His and hers sinks. One of the handles is dribbling water, the others are just hard to turn. Maybe vinegar soak will do the trick with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitexc Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Lots of time spent it seems. If they are from '07 they have served pretty well by today's standards. Could have just replaced/updated both faucets by now with the time invested? Just a thought.... Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stm25rs Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) I don't get paid for my spare time, so if I can save a couple hundred bucks for repair vs replace, that's my preference Edited September 23, 2021 by stm25rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
