Finally finished the guest bath enough to snap a few pics worth posting. Still need to install the fart fan, toilet and baseboards. Before and after. If you can't tell which one is which.... Well, yikes. Edit - Pics make the wood look darker than it really is. It's walnut that the cabinet maker lightens somehow.
The new shower faucet sucked ass at first. Just terrible water pressure. Did a little googling and had no idea how easy it was to remove the restrictor piece. Holy shit what a difference! Highly recommend if you want to drain reservoirs and get shampoo out of your hair.
At my old apartment I bought a standard + detachable showerhead, and removed the restrictor from the handheld head only. So during normal showering, it was low-flow and less wasteful, but if I needed extra pressure, I could just switch to the handheld and unleash the power.
The hotel in LA this weekend had a jet blaster for a showerhead. The wifey said she had to hold her hands over her nipples because of the pressure. I gave her shit about it and then as I was getting in, a water stream hit me right in the helmet and I audibly yelped. It was like the episode of Seinfeld minus the hilarity.
anyone else have to ceramic coat their toilet bowl in order to not have to clean it every fucking time you use it? anyone?
In my mind, I just assume all of @bewildered 's toilets are made of reinforced lead to withstand the abuse she puts them through, and you won't convince me otherwise.
No,, but I've got to use those scouring stones routinely. I probably should recoat the toilets but that's so far down the list on priorities.
Is this a DIY project, or do you have a toilet coating guy? Is it your water staining it, or what? We've never had an issue where I thought the inside of my toilet bowl needed a protective coating. It starts out gleaming white after a cleaning, and is still pretty damn white, without as much gleam, by the next cleaning. I have lived in crappy rentals, that had permanently staind toilets. Those looked more like water issues, or years of infrequent cleaning before we moved in.
It's a clean toilet, no staining... but probably due to shitty water flow in the bowl, and time, the surface is not as non-stick as it should be. Adding a light spray of ceramic coating into the dried out bowl has drastically increased that non-stickiness.
Fair enough. Figures someone amongst would be unhappy with the stickiness of their toilet bowl and solve the issue with a modern chemical polymer. I guess we can be thankful tech from the aerospace industry spilled over into civilian markets, and the toilet is now nonstick, and probably has increased heat resistance. I may use the idea one day.
I figured a few spritzes from a $25 bottle was worth a shot compared to the cost of a new toilet and installation.
Absolutely. It's in my brain now. If the need presents, I will do the same. Now that it's been mentioned, I can think back and remember some toilets needing cleaning more often than others. I'm sure this would have helped.
