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.
