Day 84 : Shower and bath tub

I'm back in business again (with a working computer). There has been lots of progress since end of August and I will describe various topics in separate blog entries.

The first one is about the guest bathroom shower and our main bathroom tub. The hardware arrived and got installed in the meantime. While we only have a shower in the smaller guest bathroom, we opted for a good sized round model (36+ inches). It was the largest size we could fit in next to the entrance door! The glass door is here as well, but will be installed last.

In the master bath, we have a new-angle shower base (that has been here for a while) and a large air-bath tub from BainUltra. We always wanted to have a tub like this and will finally be able to enjoy this system. It is not a whirlpool with large, ugly and hard to clean water jets, but has a row if tiny holes at the bottom which will blow pre-heated air into the water. In addition, the backrests are heated! It is a drop-in tub, so a platform has too be built (see last photo) which will be tiled eventually. You can see the air pump in the first photo below mounted to the tub, but we decided to move it into the utility room below to keep the noise level down. The utility room location in that back corner of the basement turned out quite convenient for this.
