What’s the bee keepers preference in a shower remodel? Would you want a seat in your shower or not?
-
LOL, well, i don't fiddly fart when i shower logical, so i don't really sit when i shower......but it does have an advantage so i can shave my legs........... :D
i have taken advantage of the sitting thing when traveling, you can sit down, use someone else's hot water after a long tiring day and enjoy........
also, maybe a good shelf ?..........
if and when we remodel, coming soon... we would probably put one in......... 8)
-
My mentor must have lied to me I was under the understanding beekeepers didn't bathe ;D
-
Rrat - This beeks bathes every night, but showers once in awhile.
Logic- I think a seat is a great idea! Also I like Riverbee's shelf idea. And not a small corner shelf, I'm talking a good size shelf that holds everything up and out of the way from children. Razors, shampoo, conditioner. Or, two shelves on on each corner.
Now are you talking a stand up shower? or a seat in a tub/shower?
-
heheh good answers.. RRat I think that was SHAVE not bathe? just a guess :P
When we built this house, I made a concrete shower for two. Two shower heads, and a glass door for those times I didnt feel like getting wet but wanted to watch!! ;D
Uhem.. but, no seat, so I bought a sturdy plastic chair at a yard sale. She likes to put her foot on it when shaving her legs.. OH, thats usually a good time to watch...
-
Let me get this right...You put a plastic chair.... in a beautiful concrete shower built for two?!?!....
And then you put a glass door so you could watch?!?! The Glass Door Would Be All Fogged Up For Cryin' Out Loud!
I would just open the door :-[ heheheheh
-
Scott, i think that would be more to watch than watching someone fiddle and fart in the shower. Jack :laugh: :laugh:
-
Jack, I here plenty of farting at public campgrounds. :laugh:
I like a warm bath. Its easier to blow bubbles. ;D
-
Ray- "Jack, I here plenty of farting at public campgrounds
I don't know why, but that's just funny :D
-
I stand when I shower, always, period, but my bride who only showers when she washes her hair or shave her legs loves the corner seat in our shower. It's a nice thing for women.
Fiddling and farting in a shower?????
To Jack:
We call someone that farts in the bathtub and bites the bubbles a "snorf." Did you know that.
-
Thanks for the replies, ideas, and ..... visual images ;D
I don't think I've ever taken a shower in a stall with a seat so I didn't know how useful the seat might be. I decided to go with a built in seat on this shower remodel. I would love to build a custom tile shower, but just don't have the time on this job. This one is just going to be one of the 2 piece slick fiberglass jobbies; 48" x 34".
-
okay, my apologies to logical for a comment i made that seems to have sidetracked the thread a little? :P
i just meant i don't spend a lot of time in the shower. i think a seat in the shower logical is a great addition, and not a plastic chair like scott did. :D
the shelf, the seat can be the shelf, but a separate shelf is very nice too.
-
Riv- "and not a plastic chair like scott did.
LOL Hear Hear Riverbee ;)
-
I don't know if you are of that "certain age", but some mature folks consider their golden years when planning a bathroom update. Things like taller toilet seats, grab bars and seats in showers are some of the things they consider. Just putting that out there. ;)
-
Agreed Baker... Not only that but one can suffer an exhausting illness, or accident, at any age and need to sit in a shower ~
-
Since I build showers for a living, I thought I'd chime in. Every "seat" I've ever put in is for leg shaving, not actually sitting. Typically I do 3 granite corner shelves, with the 1st one at 18" for a step. Perhaps the only exception is big bench in the last picture, which was for a doctor who said he'd be doing autopsies in there.

Awesome pictures Pete!
We made shelves in the walls and a bench in the corner. "She, who must be obeyed" wanted it that way....Was an easy thing to make her happy. This is our guest shower. :)

Sorry about the orientation and focus of the pictures.....

Oh Wow! Those are just gorgeous! Leg shaving or not I just Love those built in benches!
I'm particularly fond of the glass in one Pete! Beautiful
-
Very nice work Pete and Lee. :eusa_clap:
I kind of figured the real usefulness of a seat/bench was for shaving one’s legs, but it’s always nice to get some feedback.
I don’t do tile work for a living, but I’ve done enough to know you fellas put a lot of work into those showers! Our church hired out a couple bathroom remodels in the ministers house and it was interesting to see what choices the contractor made. Of coarse, he went with the fastest possible solution to minimize labor and maximize profit. I did mention it was a remodel for the MINISTER right ;D
Anyways, they went with good quality fiberglass units (nice gel coats) and I was a bit surprised with the finished product. I’m like tile myself, but the medium priced fiberglass units did end up making a couple very functional, and nice, bathrooms. Of coarse they also replaced the copper with PEX to cut down on time and maximize their profit. Of coarse the PEX leaked!

Greg, that reminded me of when my brothers and i were young and mom would throw a wash tub in the middle of the kitchen floor twice a week ( or more if she thought we needed it ;D) in the winter for baths, i was the oldest so i went first. The water wasn't ever changed just added to, sometimes i would tell my brothers before it was there turn that i peed in the water and sometimes after there bathes,they would tell mom that i peed in the water, but she made them gey in it anyway and tell them i was just telling them that. Then she would grab the wooden spoon or what ever was handy and come after me. :D Poor mom,she had four boy's. :o Jack

Well that explains a lot! ;)

Riverbee, we found a young man to do that tile work, my hands wore out remodeling our bathroom. I did the framing, pluming and electrical as we finished about 750 square feet upstairs (that includes the shower you see above). Thanks for fixing the pic! :)
Here is the vanity we got from overstock.com. I measured the vanity in the garage and built the recess to fit the cabinet. A lot of work, glad its behind us. If you look at the reflection in the mirror, you will see one of those three sided shelves in the shower that Pistol Pete mentioned....:)

That's a good story! :eusa_clap:

hehe, yes the shower is for legs, and after her surgery she used it to sit in and let the hot water beat on her neck. It actually works VERY nicely, and can be removed at will..
Men... will have to THINK about this.. Men take a shower they wash their crotch, their armpits, their face, their hair, blow their nose in their hand, let the water wash whatever comes out away, then they hop out of the shower and dry off with a quick lick of the towel... Not much enjoyable to watch there..
The ladies.. when they take a shower.. they soap EVERYTHING, and then use a wash cloth to scrub what they got soapy, then the wash theri hair with three different shampoos, and cream stuff to make it softer and tangle less.. THAT ALONE is a nice show.. now, we have to shave the legs, so how many MEN out there just raised an eyebrow and and nodded in sudden understanding?
I have a squeegee that is good at cleaning the glass as needed, so fogging up the glass is no problem!! O:-)
-
Hahahha! Nice visuals there Scott! Even the men in the shower visual was very nice :-[
However, in the winter we go primal, and presently, son is home with us, none of us shave. I like to think that we are saving the land fill of all those plastic razors ;D But then again, maybe winter makes me lazy :D
-
none of us shave
:o
OK, NOW, I understand why there are so many Sasquatch sitings in Upper California!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Looking at Jen's avitar it doesn't appear she needs to shave. :):):)

LazyB and Jen, that was TMI. ;-)

"Should I put on another medium?... Maybe I could make up a nuc?...But I really need to know how to do a divide... If I put on another medium will the bees go up or go down?... Should I requeen the swarmy queen hive?... No! I think I need to have a nuc.. I think, not sure, but probably yes...
I dunno.. I... Just... Don't... Know... :-\

:) What is TMI Lee? I'm not very acronym savvy, just hairy :laugh:
-
First, TMI is too much info.
Second, don't add a super until you see new nectar coming in or new wax being made. Whichever comes first. Too much space can kill up till the last freeze.
-
Thanks Iddee ;)
I'm not sure I know how to identify new wax... I know what old wax looks and feels like, it dark and crumbly. Then, new wax would be very light in color and soft... right? :)
-
cotton white and wasn't there last week. :)
-
K :)

The first white wax of the season is a reason to be happy! :)
