Everything You Need to Survive the Communal Bathroom


We all know that moving into a college dorm means sharing your room with a brand new roommate. Pretty cool, right? But we can’t forget about that other space you’ll have to start sharing…One that maybe isn’t so exciting. That’s right — we’re talking about the communal bathroom. Take a look at what you’ll need to survive this space.

A robe.

A robe is much more comfortable than making the run from your room to the showers in just a towel. Imagine trying to hold up a towel while you’re also hauling your shower caddy down the hall. Or, even worse, imagine the fire alarm goes off! Trust us…A robe is a must.

Cheap flip flops.

While the bathrooms are cleaned regularly, we still doubt you’ll want to walk across those floors and showers barefoot. A simple cheap pair of plastic flip flops will do the trick — nothing fancy!

A few towels.

College gets busy. Before you know it, your hamper is overflowing and it’s been weeks since you’ve done your laundry. Make sure you have quite a few towels so you don’t end up tearing apart your hamper for that damp one you already used five times. Plus, don’t forget some hand towels and wash cloths!

A large shower caddy.

The more space here, the better. Keep in mind, you’ll have to fit all of your shower products and a loofah. They take up more space than you think! Oh, and we don’t recommend trying to haul all of this over with just your arms. That’s just asking for a mess!

A pack of disinfecting wipes.

Like we said before, these spaces are cleaned regularly. But with so many students using the same space, you never know when you’ll come across something, well…gross. Keep a pack of disinfecting wipes in your shower caddy in case you need to quickly wipe something down.

The cleaning schedule.

Okay, so this isn’t a must, but it’s pretty darn convenient. After a few weeks dorming, you’ll probably get a good feel of the bathroom cleaning schedule. This is golden information! You’ll be able to snag the showers while they’re still pristine.

Respect for the space and others.

This one is a must. Remember that you’re sharing the space with others, so take note of how long your showers are, avoid using hair dryers at odd hours, and definitely clean up any hair and spills you leave behind!

Today I’m sharing how to install tile flush with hardwood floors, like I did in my bathroom.  Can you believe the Jack and Jill bathroom finally has floors?  I’m making slow but steady progress.  The vanity area of the bathroom has a combination of hardwood and tile.  The room that contains the shower and toilet is all tile but it butts up to the wood in the other room.   Install Tile Flush with Hardwood Floors" /> I wanted the tile to be flush with the hardwood floors so I installed the tile on LATICRETE STRATA_MAT™ XT   .    It helps create an even transition between typical ¼” to 3/8″ thick tile and 3/4″thick hardwood flooring.  The STRATA_MAT XT replaces 1/4″ thick cement board — it’s much lighter, easier to cut and installs with just mortar (no screws required). install tile flush with hardwood floor" /> Installing STRATA_MAT XT I cut a piece of STRATA_MAT XT to fit in the powder room.  Then I test fit that piece and cut out the vent and toilet drain hole .  I

Ken “Bear” Iddins of Buffalo Hats reveals his unique eight-foot custom Six- Pac shell model with an extremely custom, tricked-out, and modified interior.  Are those really stained glass windows ? Many of us have dreamed of designing and building our own truck camper.  One moment you’re sitting in your dinette looking at the kitchen thinking, “Why didn’t they put another cabinet right there?” and the next you’re drawing a truck camper floor plan on a napkin.  We have certainly inked a few ideas this way over the years.  Then the reality the of cost and time involved in such an endeavor hit us.  If truck campers could be built in Photoshop, we would make the world’s greatest truck camper .  Until then, we’re probably just dreaming.
