Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Installing a walk-in tub?

The lodge/house we stayed at hog hunting a few years back had a [aprox] 6'X6' doorless walk in shower with a huge pan over head dead center as well as a wall mount similar to what Rock Chuck posted.
It had a plastic patio chair sitting in it.
I enjoyed sitting under that pan immensely each evening after those cold days out hunting.
Everyone there remarked how nice that shower was.

I took tub in our bathroom out, made a big shower with seat in it. It’s 5’x4’. I moved drain to the middle of the floor, built seat. That shower was nice when I broke my ankle 5 years ago.

And I keep telling you that it wasn't me that you got it from. I was wearing a condom. How many times do I have to tell you?

Jimothy,

We’ll add humor to the long list of schit you can’t do.

LOL

I wasn't supposed to tell, was I? Sorry,

Jimothy,

Your dad hates you.

LOL

Hahaha!

I am not going to call you daddy. I don't care how much it turns you on. I told you it creeps me out.

Do not tell my wife.....

We already have 1st floor shower, plus separate tub/jacuzzi .

2nd floor master bath has a walk-in shower with seat, hall bath has shower/tub.

Deck has big hot tub.

And it rains a lot up here.

Say, anyone know where I can get some tilapi or pirhaña for that thing- should make a dandy holding tank. Might have to drop the temp a tad.

Really great! Crawl in the empty SOB and then have to run COLD WATER in on your ass so your nuts will shrink up to a pea pod size! No thank you! This is the biggest con ever....along with that Relief Factor s hit!!

Mrs slumlord built her own custom 8x8 walk-in shower.

She had to one-up me after I built my 8x8 walkin Cool-Bot deer cooler.


First time Renegade ever came out to the house, it was dark...there were headlights on shining on the side of the house and her out there with a pick and a shovel digging a 12” footing. Haha

Ren said “what the hell is going on there”

I'm liking the set up Rock Chuck built for his MIL, photo below.

Okanagan,
Check out this Delta shower valve.I t has a built in diverter to use 2 shower heads.
1 can be a conventional shower head,2-would be for a spray head similar to RC's

Very handy,we install alot of these w/o many issues

That's the route I'm taking. Got it framed and walled, need to get busy on the tile.

Build seat out of brick and mortar, tile over the brick.

I used to work in residential construction and I would have to agree with some of the negatives already given for the walk in tubs. It takes a lot of hot water to fill one and the heater needs to be close or you're dumping cold on you until the hot water arrives. Drain time while freezing. You'd have a much higher power and water bill. The walk in showers with seats are vastly better.

dont buy one of those POS tubs.

I'd go with a shower without any lip to step over instead. My father installed a walk-in tub for my step-mother and she likes it, but you have to sit inside it and wait while it fills up. Then it cools down before very long and you either add more hot water or get out. When we built our home recently, we installed a shower without any lip at the bottom to step over. The floor is cut down for drainage (and reinforced). With this, you can get in and out when you want. You can put a chair/bench/stool in there if you want to sit, and it may very well be less expensive than a walk-in tub.
