For the client that says that they might want to soak those aching muscles once in a while, I ask if an outdoor hot tub would be more applicable sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't but at least it gets them thinking about whether the master tub is a wise use of space and money.Many of our customers here at Wire & Cable Your Way are looking for electrical wire to service their new backyard woodshop, like this one shown above. About 15% of our clients DO use a tub on a regular basis and for them and those who still want the look of a tub in the master then by all means, put in a great tub. With that said, we always want at least one comfortable tub on the main floor of the home for children or grandchildren as well as a backup incase someone is temporarily injured or has some other unexpected disability that would require the use of a tub for a period of time. Most of my clients say that they want a BIG shower and don't really like having the tub because it is never used, collects dust, takes up too much space and they can't reach the window / window blinds, but "I guess we have to put in a tub for resale"! When I ask if they were buying a new home and it didn't have a master tub, would that stop them from buying? The answer is always no. I am not saying anything here that has not been said already, but will echo the "client's" resale claim. If it was just one bar, it could be ok, but all three, in three different places.oy.
One on the leftside wall (hidden in the picture), the long one at the back, and one that runs vertically to the right of the shower head that appears to have been used to hold some kind of bathing aid perhaps? Taking them all out and salvaging what is left, as you suspected, would probably devastate the tile behind it. Lucindadale - There are not one, but three bars on the shower walls.
We're willing to suffer long prep times, in-depth research, and even hiring a professional if it comes down to it if it means getting it the heck out of there. The only place I want tile is the shower area when everything is said and done, and an aesthetically pleasing tile at that. I know in the long haul it would be a cheaper, doable option that we could live with. I could probably do it and be somewhat happy with the result, but I feel I would always want to change it and rip it out anyways down the road. The thought of coloring it white or almond has been considered several times. Not just the color, but the sheer amount of it. Lucindalane, Apple Pie, Laurence Tillett - the short answer is, yes, I strongly dislike the tile.
Now, to address the dreaded "Tilegate" question. That will be next to go as it is poor grade and stained to heck in the remaining areas. That is what remains of when we slashed the carpet to get it out of the bathroom as it flowed in from the hallway. As you look closely in the other picture, you can see little wisps of carpet fiber peeking out from under the door. We would ideally keep those as they are newer. Here are two more pictures taken from the other side (really hard to do with an iPhone in a tiny bathroom!) The shot of the mirror with the lights off helps define the color a little better (it's really not bad by itself til' you add that ghastly yellow). Everything else you would like to include are simply executed once you have a layout for your base and sizing for your patio so you can get an idea of cost at that point and just go from there. The wall will delineate the yard from the patio a bit more and make it another room instead of one large space.
I would go with more of a natural stone patio and possibly retaining wall and maybe let it creep out into the yard as walkways as well. A couple of rough ideas in my opinion would be to stay away form concrete since it is so dull and will really be a big blob in such a natural space. Also they may be expensive to hire but will give you multiple options of concepts within your budget if your are willing to pay for the time. I would probably contact a designer or possibly landscape architect to consult with if this is too confusing since this process is very tedious and detail oriented. Considering how much you are willing to spend will save you some time by not spending to much time considering options that will blow your whole budget before falling in love with them. Well you first question is always budget as with anything.
