bought a house from 1910

you polish it out with a steel trowel, just like getting a shiny finish on the floor
I've seen power trowels in small "car buffer" form factor for the work
 
That's why I was suggesting burnishing, but good trowel work would suffice. Gotta be smooth enough to be glass once the top coating goes on though.

yup

'burnishing' seems to have multiple meanings, I tend toward its logical one; trowelling or smashing something flat, like a burnishing reamer that you'd use to smooth out a hole
in concrete work it gets an abrasive meaning to it sometimes
I could certainly do that too, might end up pointing in the low spots like the snaptie holes and doing the abrasive dance on the walls, certainly be more durable or less likely to delaminate than an additional coat of portland cement plaster
 
It’s a multi step process if you want it to not leak…. No way around it!!!!!

Don't finish coat your bathroom with your first pour…. Drop it 2-3” with a pre-slope to the drain….. let it cure…… thinset fiberglass mesh and pan liner, run it up the walls 6” in all directions…….
Now you can finish with your Crete!!!!

I concur with !!!1!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuck showerglass!

(also note the ceiling mounted rainhead) Didn't have headroom for the giant goofy gooseneck, so I straight nippled it and reused the gooseneck as wallmount tubspout.

after a bunch of thought I came up with this:
bathroom.jpg


the shower enclosure I'm figuring on being that half inch thick plate glass, 6" off the floor and ceiling
the dark blue 42" one will be rigid mounted with a post in the middle of the floor, the 3' light blue one will have a detent hinge on the "wall" side so it can be folded outta the way either in or out, figure towel rack on the wall between the two doors
toilet with the tank against the outside wall, sink and countertop in the opposite corner
might end up tight-ish between the counter and the shower enclosure though, dunno
Thoughts?

sealed concrete sufficient for a shower pan, or should I be putting in some sorta membrane thing?

Where is the door to the bathroom from the rest of the living area? If I’m reading correct it looks like you come down the stairs from the top floor into the bathroom door?
 
What are you doing for the door swinging in or out of the bathroom?

You can get vanity’s that are 16 inches deep or narrower if you need the space, you want 24 inch isle before things start getting really tight.

I would be tempted to do a rain head and wand while leaving the door off the shower so you just have one piece of glass from floor to 12-18 inches off the ceiling.

there's a whole 'nother rectangle on the right side of the stairs that I didn't draw, that one is 11' wide or thereabouts where the bathroom/kitchen side is 6'6" wide
door to outside of the house will also be right at the foot of the stairs there, probably swinging so it covers the br door when open

door swinging into the BR, swinging against the wall, so the br door and the shower door will be in minor conflict, but not really in practice

got a piece of glass yesterday (free ikea glass table) so the shower is likely to end up being 3'x3', freeing up room by the sink

Can you just bring the pressure pressure washer in there to clean up once a week?

or every few months
or just when it needs to be presentable
going on a few years between bathroom cleanings at the moment, it isn't like anything accumulates but dust

Figuring I'll have a garden hose tucked away in there continually ready to go, for firefighting purposes as well as all the other reasons you'd want a hose inside the house

yup the bars gotta go from the bottom of the stairs to the top of the landing

and on the suspended slab it's gotta be in the bottom in the middle of the span and the top at the edge of the span
 
Gonna go with a prison toilet?
You can play pretend with your friends! And save space too.

I want one for my shop, since the bathroom is hardly bigger than a toilet. Haven't found any surplus ones for sale yet.
I want the straight on style, not the offset one. The round TP hole is cool!

You need to make friends with a maintenance person at the prison.

I have a tiny bathroom like that.

Get a tiny corner sink and mount it just high enough over the tank you can remove the lid.

You don't actually sit straight up when shitting so you don't know it's there.

So entitled. You must be a woman. :laughing: Would you rather there be no faucet? :flipoff2:

Two ball valves and some pipe would be better :flipoff2:


I’d rather use a Bucket with what might be rainwater in it.

I need my hands wet not just the fingertips also, fuck having to scrub grease off the back of the bowl. When the rest of the sink is clean.

In clipboard warrior theory land, sure.

In reality the bathroom is off my kitchen so if I have to wash grease and whatnot off I'll use the kitchen sink.

I dunno man, you ever shit in a washtub?
it ain't difficult, you just sorta swirl your finger around in the drain to get it to go down

for that matter I was kinda figuring on having the laundry next to the kitchen, laundry needs a wash tub or two and the kitchen implies a sink, but having a kitchen sink ten feet from the washtub next to the washer machine doesn't make a lot of sense space-utilization wise
 
maybe discontinue the idea of a wall and doors enclosing the bathroom
still have the frosted-glass-enclosed shower stall, but maybe enlarge it enough to put the shitter in there too

wash machine and tub(s?) just south of that, then kitchen type shit south of that

might could do some drawy bullshit today
