Tom Raymond Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 [:-bigeyes That'll be one wild ride when it falls through the floor. This one should make the home page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Moore Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well...it does take your eye away from the butt ugly red and green faux finished walls! So Blair, what are the chances they adequately reinforced the floor/ceiling framing cut-out? Slim would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exploreparadise2 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Judging from the other renovation work, Richard, I would say the chances are slim too. The water pressure was so low up in the attic and the tub filled so slowly that the bath water had cooled down by the time it was half full. Here's a look down at the fabricated steel staircase from the attic to the second floor. They should have put in a spiral staircase.

Bain Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I truly thought this was a joke. What kind of dumbass thinks the view in the second photo is just plain groovy? I mean, shouldn't there be some sort of tacky soffit around the bottom of the tacky tub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emalernee Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 They forgot to glue on heat tape to the underside of the tub to keep the water warm. Ezra Malernee Canton, Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Ya know, if they painted the word EVERLAST on it, it would at least look like a big boxing glove. Nice for a kids room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 It is very creative and extremely impractical. Typical 70's hippie style, surprising to see in these modern times. For a kids room below, sharks teeth on the tub and bomber wings on the ceiling would look neat. Landing gear might be a good idea, actually. [] I'm imagining a stumble down that steep staircase and smacking one's head on that chimney, Ouch! I agree, spiral stairs for a slower, safer tumble. The buyers will be taking a bath on that place, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
