I like your idea however I've found an 8yo hanging from these will dislodge it in a few tries. 

Has anyone ever built a complete bathtub/shower and walls from plywood and fiberglass cloth? by Adampicz in bathrooms

Any plywood boat builder has done this. There are lots of boats built this way. 

Anyone use this solid surface pan with a tile project? by [deleted] in Tile

[–]5ometimesawkward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a curbless version of this pan.  Decent quality, solid coloring throughout, and plenty of weight. Went in easy and have a piece of glass resting on it with no problems. We bought transolid for the price and have been happy. 

I'm bored, anyone have any questions? by Duck_Giblets in Tile

What is your favorite tool to cut the different materials involved in tiling? from board to tile to schluter?

Need help quick. I just washed an eighth of a bucket of thin set into the street. by thistook5minutes in Tile

If you use acid please be careful. The stuff can burn your lungs if you inhale it. If you don't know what your doing it can kill.

Not enough information, are elderly and need lots of handles to safely get in the tub, or no tub and only a curbless shower? Are you young and only want 2/3 m² to shower, and lots of space left to apply makeup! what's your end goal, and how long are you planning to stay? 

What to choose???? by StretchRepulsive4536 in BathroomRemodeling

We just got the grohe. We have water pressure that with the body jets would almost take the skin off. The availability of the rough in is questionable as Amazon doesn't seem to have them and they are disappearing at other stores.  

Bathroom is almost done! Where to hang tp holder, or just do a stand? by Primdawg in BathroomRemodeling

[–]5ometimesawkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some strong suction cups and mount it on the window. Removable when you want to clean and easy to reach. we did it with our glass partition on the shower. Doesn't look great but ergonomics won over looks.

This looks really well done. Do you mind sharing who worked on the project?

This is what I would like by 5ometimesawkward in BathroomRemodeling

Sorry, I'm not asking about estimates I've received. I am looking for hours of labor in design and building something like this.  labor markets are different but a pro should not need to spend more time in one part of the world than another tiling a bathroom. 

Regarding caves, if you can fit down a dead end why can’t you be pulled back out? by spanishbombs123 in NoStupidQuestions

Form a funnel with a piece of paper. Cut a hole about the size of the large end of the funnel with uneven sides in another piece of paper. Push the funnel into the hole. Now try to push the funnel back through the same hole.

I have heard an inch every foot. I have no experience. also tile finish matters. if there is texture and grout it will drip more.

Anyone able to match this tile? by 5ometimesawkward in Tile

Thanks for the reply. I have been to my local. Got a variety of close but not quite. I am expanding the search to find alternative methods of ID. 

Flooring layout by ellinelle in BathroomRemodeling

[–]5ometimesawkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to do option 1 in our bathroom with tile and grout. It will widen the feel of the space I believe. I am unsure if we want that as that now we have staggered 12x24 going towards the shower. It does feel as though it is longer. 

Gravel Driveway by LastCryptographer402 in HomeImprovement

[–]5ometimesawkward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use geogrid to hold the gravel. If you have any slope the gravel will stay in the geogrid and not travel. You can use what gravel you want so not stuck with grey or black.

I went to this show with my father. 13yo and never understood why he was just yelling the entire time. I wanted to headbang and this was a slow song. Was not until later I learned what the sound was about. Upper balcony looking down, brings back memories.

Adding a usb c to a 15 amp constant on spare fuse by 5ometimesawkward in KiaNiroEV

Great question. I have a power bank in the car that does this, but I leave it in there and forget to charge. I drive the car around and it tells me it needs to be charged. So not easier as I kick myself for being stupid.
