Hick has the basic fixtures for Bargain House's second bathroom. He set them in place, just to show the layout. He had originally told me the shower and vanity would be in opposite places. Not that I care where they go. I just don't want him to make a liar out of me!
It wasn't my misunderstanding, or Hick's roundabout way of explaining. The shower WAS supposed to go in that other corner, but when Hick was working on the plumbing in the cellar, he discovered that it couldn't fit. The pipe for the shower drain would have been over a floor joist. With the sink, it's not an issue. The drain for the sink is 2 inches in diameter, while the shower drain is 4 inches.
That's a new toilet. They cost about $100. It's nothing fancy. Apparently Hick had his light source sitting on the floor, judging by the shadows cast on the toilet rim and behind the vanity. He has not wired the bathroom for electricity yet. No problem with the toilet drain pipe being on a floor joist, since it juts 12 inches forward, according to Hick.
It's a small bathroom, but still, it's a bathroom! A second one that will surely be a welcome addition to the people who end up living in this house.
It will be large enough. Looks more than adequate.
ReplyDeleteYes, and with the shower, it's better than just a "half-bath" for the real estate listings.
DeleteIt's still a good layout with plenty of room between the fixtures.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Room to towel off after a shower, without banging your knees on another fixture.
DeleteI would love a second bathroom! I don't know why the toilet in our bathroom is at an angle with a cabinet above in the corner. It supplies very limited storage that can only be accessed by standing on the toilet (by me) and things are apt to fall in the toilet. I want to get a toilet with a smaller profile and rip that useless cabinet out. I could replace it with shelves that would hold a lot more and I could reach them!
ReplyDeleteSome people don't use common sense when building a house, I suppose! At least this is one thing Hick understands when putting in a bathroom.
