    need opinion of what to do on the wall above shower unit

    I am just a homeowner with a little repair experience but here are my thoughts. I also live with walls that go 3/4 up and then are painted. - As you mentioned, if the shower stall is tiled - tile up to the ceiling. I don't think it would look good if you had a plastic shower wall and then tile...

    Removing a shower base

    I am waiting for the plumber to come tomorrow to remove the shower base and rough in the plumbing but was wondering if it is a simple task to remove the shower base? It's a 40 year old fiberglass base and I took the drain cover (screen?) off and it looks like it is a metal pipe with a metal...

    Question about height of shower head.

The next project will be our main bathroom and will get the shower bar for the handheld for the next owner's children or if we still live...

    exhaust fan

    I am in the process of a bathroom remodel and I am looking at an attic bathroom fan. Unfortunately the smallest I have seen is 150 CFM which is twice as big as you have now.

    Question about brands

    Hi, We are in the middle of renovating our bathroom and are at the point of picking a mixing valve and a sink faucet. We are purchasing from a local bath showroom/plumbing supply so everything we are buying hopefully will be a better quality than from the big box stores. The shower is only...

    Question about shower head plumbing

    Thanks! Makes sense, with a 60" hose and a small shower I don't need the hose to be very high.
