Most people have heard of FOMO (the Fear of Missing Out). However, I’d argue a bigger fear which is not often talked about is FOSU (this would be the Fear of Screwing Up). And you know if you’re remodeling a bathroom – or making selections for several new home bathrooms – you’ll have to make […]
If you need a safer shower pan in your bathroom remodel or new home and don’t have a clue which option is best for you, I can tell you you’re not alone. You see I’ve worked with thousands of people who want to ‘age in place’ or their mobility is not as good as they’d […]
As if making selections for your bathroom remodel wasn’t tough enough, you have the misfortune of also needing a custom shower pan. And talk about confusing. Here’s a few things which have you flummoxed (and is that not the weirdest word in the world or what?). Should I choose a tile – or grout free […]
I bet you’re saying right now – WOW – I get to read an article about shower drains and figuring out a smarter shower drain location. Now I’ve earned the right to say those epic words of Chaz Reinhold (Owen Wilson) in the hilarious movie Wedding Crashers who said, “I’m living the dream!” OK, in […]
If you have to go into Bed, Bath and Beyond ONE MORE TIME to buy ANOTHER shower curtain for your kid’s hall bathroom you’re going to scream! And you’re certainly NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO cleaning (AGAIN) the dirt and hair out of the shower door track in your master bathroom either. You’re desperately trying to […]
The options are overwhelming. Should you choose a pivoting shower door with a matte black finish? Would a 3/8” thick sliding (or bypass) glass door work better in your small bathroom? Or maybe you should go with a walk-in glass shower with no door. It would be so simple to get in. No matter what […]
As a guy who leads a business which wholesales and installs bathroom products, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen men and women (husbands, wives and partners) bicker over their bathroom remodeling project. Fortunately, I’ve never seen anyone (thus far) comes to blows over the project. That’s certainly a good thing! He (just […]
Glass shower doors are one purchase in your bathroom remodel which often aren’t the simple ‘open and closed’ case you thought they’d be (OK – that bad pun was intended). The factors in choosing a shower door are more involved than you thought. Here’s some questions you may be asking: Is it best to choose […]
Tile showers are controversial. OK, maybe not as controversial as picking a United States President, but I’ve seen their pros and cons cause knock-down drag, out fights between couples during a bathroom remodeling job. They’ll debate (that’s another word for argue) if it makes more sense to get a unique tile shower or blow up […]
When David called me, he was obviously frustrated. He started out saying, “Mike, I thought buying a plastic shower pan for my tub to shower conversion would be super-simple. After all, I just wanted a decent fiberglass or acrylic pan which wouldn’t cost me an arm and a leg. And I wanted a base which […]
