Hi, Building a new bathroom in our basement. It's 5'x9', with a 30" vanity, and a 3'x5' shower (tiled). I'm thinking about having some kind of wall-mounted light above the vanity/mirror, a recessed light in the middle (above the toilet), and a recessed (waterproofed) light above the shower...

Hi, I'm finishing up the rough plumbing for a basement bathroom. Looking at the hole I've created, I'm getting nervous about how/if I can patch this. I want to tile over top of this, so I want to make sure things are absolutely solid. A couple of suggestions from reading forum posts...

I'm about to frame a 5x10 bathroom. Since neither dimension allows for 16" between each and every stud, what is the standard way of dealing with that? For example, for the 5' wall, would I put a stud at 16", 32", 48", and then 60" for the corner (leaving 12" in between the last pair)? Or...

Unfinished basement, planning to add a bathroom (cutting through the floor). 1. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching some video's on how to do a mudpan shower with PVC liner. All of the pics & video's seem to deal with an alcove shower. My shower is going to be 3'x5', but I want...

One of the proposed locations for our basement bathroom is in an area where the cold air return drops down about 7"-8" from the bottom of the floor joists. Is it possible to replace a section of the cold air return with a thinner-and-wider duct to gain a few inches of head room? If we kept the...

Hi, I'm in the initial stages of planning out how we're going to add a basement bathroom to our current 1 bath house. I plan to go under the concrete to the sewer line which is about 5-6' away. I'll be hiring out the rough plumbing, and doing everything else on my own. I've done a lot of...
