Marvel Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Carl, That's really nice. A lot of the bathrooms and showers in the Philippines are just one large room. Depending on how well they are done, everything gets wet or it works... I don't usually take pics of bathrooms/shows, but this one at a small resort in Dauin, Negros Oriental, PH, was built right. The rug in front of the sink didn't even get wet, the water hit the floor and went down the drain. The floor didn't feel like there was any slope at all.

mike stehr Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's some really nice tile work, Carl. At least I'm not alone with bathroom remodeling. I'm doing a tub/shower surround project. I guess I better get on it... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I resized and reposted... maybe that will work. I wish our 1962 house had the room to do that when we remodel, but it might take too much creative rearranging. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 They put the plumbing in after they poured the floor? When they plumbed the house they ran the water lines underground and up through the slab. The problem I ran into was that they missed the walls when they stubbed it up through the slab. There originally was a tub there so they just bent the lines into the wall on top of the slab. That wouldn't work with a shower so I had to bust the slab and move the pipes behind the wall. This is after I exposed the piping before the repair. You can see that it's outside the wall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Carl, Do you have a photo that includes the building permit? {:-)) As far as I know, you don't need a permit to work on your own house. If you hire someone, then yes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I was kidding. In Birmingham, MIchigan you technically do need permits for many repairs, decks, etc.. but that requirement is largely ignored, by homeowners and the city. When I added a small deck years ago a guy who rides around in a white van with "City of Birmingham Code Enforcement" on the doors inquired as to whether I pulled a permit. Fortunately, I never heard anything further. Permits are as much about generating tax revenues as they are about guaranteeing code compliance, it least that's how it is around here. After building the deck with cedar and replacing the cedar once, I resurfaced it with synthetic which will outlive me. I'd attach a photo of the latest iteration of the deck, but I get an error message. Appears I've exceeded some limit for attachments.

mike stehr Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Okay, thanks for the clarification. I kinda doubt that slab will bust/crack around that drain anytime soon. Edited December 13, 2015 by mike stehr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 In Birmingham, MIchigan you technically do need permits for many repairs Around here, the permit's main function is to raise your property tax when they find out that you made improvements. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Okay, thanks for the clarification. I kinda doubt that slab will bust/crack around that drain anytime soon. Nope, lots of re-bar and concrete went back in that hole. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, lots of re-bar and concrete went back in that hole. I know. I looked at your first couple pics, and was thinking- "I would think he filled the hole". The last pic confirmed that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
