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.

Hmmm...I've seen this a few times before. I personally like it, but for someone who likes having a bath - if that's the only bath in your house that you're removing - then it's not going to have the greatest resale value.

One of my friends did this to his ensuite shower though - he put in two shower heads, which was cool. Another friend of mine also had a similar deal, but he had the glass brick wall that you had to walk behind. He also had a villery and boch toilet LOL.
