Spent hours yesterday going looking at and going over details relating to the bathroom remodel, particularly the fixtures and plumbing. Plumbing?
What we want in the shower seems simple enough, if a bit extravagant. We want two shower heads -- one at each end, a hand wand, and a rain head above. It turns out that it requires some Rube Goldberg plumbing extravaganza to make this work, and even then compromises must be made....unless you're willing to spend a truly insane amount of money (like automobile sized dollars).
It's remarkable how proud some of these companies are of their pieces of metal. With one high-end company the plate that sits behind the control knob in the shower costs $1,000. I am not kidding, and this is considered acceptable for some reason.
I know we'll eventually get there, but man all of these little decisions are mind numbing.
So, just forget the bathroom. Change a window in the bedroom to a sliding door and every morning get up, run out the door and dive into the pond. Cheap and available.
