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.

I remodeled my bathroom completely, as you may recall, and I put in a thermostatic shower and a jacuzzi tub. I got an offer from nearly every person who saw my house, based on the bathroom and remodeled kitchen alone.

You will see fantastic return on any improvements or unique features in either of these two areas.
