ATTN Builders: Bathroom remodelling question

[JohnnyD]

Looks awesome.

Looking at the shower, do you get any spray outside? Or a chilly breeze?

Always nice when you are happy with the end product. Looks like you put a lot of yourself into it. You did save yourself a lot of dough by having the talent to do it yourself, or even part of it. And as a remodeling contractor, it is satisfying to hear that you can understand how pricing baths and kitchens can get up there fast. There is a ton of unseen detail that goes into making those rooms look and work right.

And so much of it is in the planning before the execution.

When we built our deck my wife didn't understand why the stairs stopped 2-1/2 feet in the air.

Answer: Because in 6 months that's where the ground will be

Yes, this was a bit of a crapshoot. Given the length of the shower (note, it's tub sized) we tried to get away without a full door. You can't tell from the picture but the tile extends a bit onto the wall for some additional protection and I built the curb up a little higher.

Water outside is minimal, some times a little splash some times none. It's definitely not enough that I'd get a door fab'd which is still an option. I'd rather not spend the money as it would be another 8-900 bucks.

As for chill, we'll see this winter when things are cooler, but it's not an issue yet. I put in a decent size inline vent fan so the exhaust is really good.
