Owning your own home

Bodbyn Bro!

(I think I've used that bad line before).

Nice turret!

Spending +£20k on a kitchen seems insane to me

Pfft. How about a wooden bath "sculpture"? They start at the bargain price of £24,000 ish. (Taps not included)

Did I mention the kitchen in my last place was about £800?

yeah it looks .. 🤢

Cheers Chris. Had a snoop on you architects IG yours looking 👌🏼

At least that's a bathtub that you can row across the Atlantic (or the Pacific, whatever's quicker). You just need a decent plug.

I don't really get baths full stop

But imagine having a £24k wooden bathtub in your bedroom next to your open plan shitter 3 feet from the bed.

These really are something

Also a feature in itself.

You do!

Thanks.
How tall are you?
Part of the challenge for us is I’m 6’3.
I can’t decide what the minimum dimensions I’d need for a shower cubicle might be.

If you can't extend the roof, then you need to cut into the floor to give you more height.
Should work shouldn't it? Negative shimmed shower tray?

I'm 6ft 1 and the shower tray is 760mm squared which I think is the minimum to make it feel normal. it works fine. Not luxurious at all (and I have another bathroom downstairs with a bigger shower in it) but serves its purpose well.

Yes I'd say he could steal an inch or two from the floor without issue.

I’m think sunk shower tray and shower head from ceiling. Was more concerned by width.
We also have a large bathroom. Although part consideration is the ceiling currently slopes do we square it off when extending above to give more options layout wise for main bathroom.

What about a velux above and then open it when having a shower?

It would help disperse the steam too.

And save water when it's raining.

...and give the user a real connection to the outdoor spaces.

Cheers for the rec!

The ceiling in my loft ensuite is 2.1m which is probably slighter higher than the average (Edwardian/Victorian terrace conversion) that I've seen.

I could have got an extra 50mm or so by dropping the floor but I didn't want a step into the bathroom and there were some concerns about getting a sufficient drop for the soil pipe if we did that.

This is our newly-finished downstairs toilet, and our freshly garnished parquet:

(And that's the raw sewage that has poured out of the toilet onto it all this morning)

I was wondering...
