I 'want' to have a window above the tub shower but building inspector says NO window. Does anyone 'know' of an building code approved window for above tub use??

Tempered glass maybe? Has anyone had a window above t...

i used some marine boat quality epoxy putty to patch a hole in the bottom of a bathtub...hasn't leaked in over a year (knock on wood)...cost me 5 bucks at lowe's...i've also used the real good silicone that is approved for fish tanks to plug small holes and cracks in toilet tanks and in cast iron main sewer lines..not the best fix, but it's good in a pinch until the apartment is vacant and i can go in and remodel the place :)

Since you have more bathrooms than bedrooms, do your tenants sleep in the bathtubs?

couple questions regarding plumbing on a remodel im doing, looking for a few quick answers... heres a little paint picture for you guys :)Based on that picture, black being bathtub,blue being bathtub drain/overflow draingreen is galvanized drain pipe its tied into,Id like to add a drain pipe for a kitchen sink to this drain, have a handyman i found on craigslist doing some of the remodel for me, he suggest cutting into the down pipe on the tub, and tie into the drain at this spot, tieing in somewhere around where the red line is, I dont see this being a very good idea, and no way can i believe this would pass code.

- carpet is replaced- bath tub and bath tiles replaced.somehow I dont feel justified to pay the remianing amount as we have been good tenants - never miss a payment always reporting problems when it happens. only the problems are not repaired until we have moved out.

A/C Unit is 1 year old, the bathtub is fairly new as well.

One of the bathtubs in a rental home has a number of hairline cracks all over the surface.

But then I got to chapter 4 in my book, Every Landlord's Tax Deduction Guide (great book by the way), and read the crap about too many repairs in a short time can constitue a general plan of imporvment, therby classifying your repairs as improvements.Besides the foundation, I need to make other "repairs" such as, re-glazing the bathtub, re-finishing the wood floors, and completely repainting the interior.

My husband is worried that we will lower the resale value by doing this, but because of the area its in, it is better as a rental and would rent relatively fast if I added a kitchen and bathtub or standup shower.

The original dressing rooms off each bedroom were converted into bathrooms as far back as the 1930s/40s/ - so each bedroom has its own bathroom.The original "bathroom" - with its copper bathtub - sites through a door off a landing on the grand stairwell and is actually in the servants wing of the building over the kitchen.Much of the bedroom furniture, and some of the other original furniture is still present in the house (either still in its room of use or stored in the third-floor attic or in the carriage house.
