Not diy at all... But finally got our shower glass done... Had been using a shower curtain to decide for/against a shower door... Finally said F the door. This turned out awesome.

tiny house, bros

I hate having a single, shared bathroom upstairs. It's the "master" but has two doors, one into the master bedroom and another into the hallway, so much wasted space because of it. It's infuriating.

I'm just jealous is all.

how close is the next closest bathroom then? down the stairs?

so like you couldn't wall off the hallway door?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Only other bathroom is downstairs and it's a half. With some creative thinking/shower only, it could be a full bath.

I've thought about walling off the MBR door and the entire bathroom could be restructured and opened way up. I've even though about taking some space out of the MBR closet to widen the bathroom and then cutting it in half to make 2 full bathrooms.

I'm also not going to drop a ton of money into a house I don't like and the only way to make me like it is to drop serious coin. So a vicious circle. And I still hate not having a basement, so all of it is moot.

 

[Yaj Yak]

hmmm makes sense, if it's not private now may as well make it bigger.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Yeah. I can already hear the wife complaining "why is this door gone nooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww? I have to walk into the hallway to go pee at niiiiiigggghhhttttttttttttttttt? whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

My wife wanted a greenhouse to keep some of her plants in that don't like wind very well. I built this for her. It's like $100 in lumber and screws and $800 worth of Lexan. That stuff is pricy.

Amazing deals on this 6Ft X 8Ft Greenhouse at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

www.harborfreight.com

my favorite is their description includes a video of how to build it better than they sell it to you for

 

[GTPpower]

Screw that. That's pretty white trash looking imo. I was going for the "white privilege" look.

With $800 glass... I think you nailed it!

 

[GTPpower]

Lexan is polycarbonate. So to explain this a bit, it's not supposed to yellow and it's super strong. They claim it will last 10 years or more.

If I had just used plexiglass, I'd guess that I would have to replace it every other year. Not only that, but it's super hard to find 4x8 sheets of that stuff. Home depot had this in stock.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Hey.

You do you, Baller.

Much Love.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Yeah I'm super excited about this
