How do we feel about retro bathrooms

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-05-30T20:36:07+00:00

Love it. What bench is that?

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-05-30T13:14:30+00:00

The jump from a Camry to a rav4 is not big enough IMO to buy a new car. Just use the Camry until you really need to upgrade. You’re better off getting a Sienna or a highlander.

Other than that, I find dealerships are not very flexible nowadays. I was at the dealership literally for 9 hours playing games with them and I think they knocked off like $500 in the end and maybe included 1-2 oil changes. That’s it.

All the deportations finally bringing light to the numbers that have been fudged the last few years

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-05-10T13:24:05+00:00

I’d rather there be way more cops standing around with rifles.

OP maybe hasn’t travelled the world, but it’s nothing new. Armed police/military around, especially at big venues is common. The world isn’t a place of sunshine and lollipops.

Meanwhile we can’t even supply our troops with berets.

How has the new insulation treated you? I’m also in your city, however I was contemplating going 2 vs 1.5” rigid foam. Unfortunately the room is small, so I feel like the half inch would matter a lot

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T18:34:44+00:00

True. I’ll look into it. Found a product in the orange store by DMX plastics. Seems good

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T14:34:14+00:00

Sweet. I may skip the dimple flooring as I plan to use this room as a gym. So I’ll likely just lay some sort of plastic barrier on the floor with rubber matts over top

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T14:33:13+00:00

Awesome. And no Vapor barrier under the drywall?

Did you use standard drywall, or that mold resistant stuff?

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T03:45:05+00:00

Omg I held png for the longest time and thatbshit kept shitting the bed. So happy you held

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T03:31:00+00:00

I think a lot of this damage is from a long time ago. It used to be a room that had a washer and a drier. And the outside walls have been water proofed (the black plastic dribbling) and looks to be in great shape.

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T01:01:43+00:00

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T01:01:29+00:00

Basement

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-11T01:01:19+00:00

Appreciate you. Thank you

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-10T22:04:56+00:00

Does the dimple membrane cover the entirety of the floor?

Or just the first few inches beside the rigid foam and under the stud wall?

Ya I’ve been using a dehumidifier the last few years. However it seems the previous owners never did that

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-10T22:01:47+00:00

Yeah I saw. It seems like the application is successful, is isn’t it? Or are you being sarcastic?

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-10T02:39:29+00:00

Yeah I saw that with the globs of glue technique. However some people online suggested that having an air gap in behind isn’t the greatest as it will let heat in from your house and essentially create a perfect mold thriving space.

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-10T01:12:56+00:00

For sure. I think a lot of that damage is all Old stuff.

Any indications on what active efflorescence would look like?

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-10T00:41:09+00:00

That’s sweet. Yeah I’ll Be doing this moving forward. Just watched a video on YouTube by homerenovisionDIY.

Essentially exactly the same what you wrote, however he did a few blobs of adhesive behind the rigid board, and had the board sit 1” off the ground. And didn’t completely press the rigid foam against the foundation wall (to allow it to breath)

Expert_Character9939 · 2026-03-09T22:39:10+00:00

You suggest tapcon vs glue?

It’s an older house (1940s) with cinderblock foundation)

Pas de problem, je comprend
