Sometimes I get very wet in my special places...

Home ownership is fun!

No really. Except our shower is leaking. After every shower there's a puddle on the floor, and I thought it was just the substandard IKEA* shower curtain, but it turns out there's a real live leak. Somewhere in the wall between user input and water output. The drywall is spongy and wet, and the water's coming out a spot that is not designed to output water.

We had always planned to rip out the bathroom and make a better one. Looks like it's happening sooner than we thought. My parents did this walk-in shower thing at their place in Ottawa that we liked, so we're considering it for here. The diagram is not to scale or anything -- think regular tub length but double width.

Google SketchUp, by the way, is very cool. I made this in about three minutes:



I don't know who that woman is. Probably a local student. She came with the software. She will not be allowed to use the shower.

If you were buying a condo, would an unusual bathroom shower scare you off?


* Yes I just said that.

One thing we're considering is having my dad come down and run the show, with me as his grunt. If we use the glass blocks, it'll be like he's getting to do the same project he did in Ottawa, but he can fix his mistakes. :)

Dads are good for that. You pretend you need to learn how to do something and then they do it while you watch and pass tools.
