Just installed downstairs shower it is a thermoplastic job that came in three pieces. Plumbing all hooked up no problem. Shower works just fine. Framed it in with greenboard. Had to rip out old drywall to set-up shower and sink Also in room with shower and sink is toilet,washer and dryer. Is there some type of 4'x 8' DECORATIVE type paneling out there I could use to finish off the walls that is made espicially for bathrooms in stead of using tiling. It would be much easier and a whole lot cheaper,

Thank you,

bathroom walls

I am not sure you received a suggestion about you bathroom walls yet,but you were looking for some type of decorative paneling. How about wanes coating, it comes in 8 foot long peices (3)for $13.00 at Lowes or home depot. I am in the process of doing my bathroom over and chose wanes coating because I riped down the tile on the walls and under the tile the walls were in tough shape and did not want to spend allot of $$.

Good luck

bathroom remodeling.

M

mitcheal on Jul 12, 2001

i will be remodeling my bathroom soon. a complete tear down. walls, vanity, toilet, floor. tub stays. my question is, where do i start. should i start with the floor or the walls? obviously the vanity has to come out first. how long can i keep a rag stuffed in the toilet pipe? several days until the project is done? several weeks in case i run into problems? i'd rather not pay someone $2500 when i can do it for less than half. i've laid tile before. the only thing i'm confused about is the order... thanks mitch

Bath ventilation

J

jetedel94 on Jul 19, 2001

I purchased an older home where the only recent "improvement" had been a bathroom update. I'm sure this was only done to dress it up for the sale, A very poor quality "improvement". I recently just learned how poor it really was. The bath is being vented into some "dead" attic space. The space is only accessible from an outdoor window. It has soffit vents, but as of yet, has no other venting. I am conserned about dumping all that humidity into this space. I would like to continue the vent duct to exit outside. I would rather not have to put a roof vent in b/c I hate messing with old shingles, It's usually a loosing battle for me. I would like to put a vent in the wall. MY QUESTION IS... Is there a limit to how long the duct can be? Number of turns it makes? Is it dependent on the fan's CFMs? If the quality of the other "improvements" is any judge, I'm sure the fan was the cheapest they could find, therefor probably has very low CFMs. The run will be about 20 feet with a couple sharp bends. I was going to use some flexible (vinyl or plastic ?) duct. If it matters, I live in the Northeast.
