Bath Shower Home Design

Photo: wayfair.com The shower pan is an unsung hero in cramped bathing quarters that rely on a walk-in shower instead of a full-size bathtub. Its role? Protecting your subfloor from water damage by aiding drainage. This waterproof floor covering —often made of fiberglass, acrylic, or tile—slopes just enough to direct water toward the drain in the floor, thus eliminating most problems caused by lingering water, from mold and mildew growth to structural issues like wood rot. Whether you’re remodeling a bathroom to include a shower pan where none existed before or replacing one that’s seen its day, basic plumbing skills and a free weekend are all you need when learning how to install a shower pan.

Q:I hope you can suggest something that will remove a stubborn stain from my fiberglass shower pan . I have used a product called Zap , X14 and a few others to no avail. Can you help me? Thank you. A: Fiberglass -- a plastic resin reinforced with glass fibers used today in everything from shower pans like yours to skylights -- is, as you' ve surely noticed , easily scratched. So we'll need to be careful cleaning here. Once scratched, fiberglass becomes harder to clean, as you've clearly found in attempting to get rid of your shower pan's stubborn stain.

This sealant will close surface pores that allow stains to set ...

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. Then again, what if we could buy a shell and then have it custom up-fitted to our exact specifications?  That eliminates the need to design and build the exterior structure and allows us to ...
