How much is that shower in the window

Going to cost to repair. This shows up every once in a while.

See it on a lot of older homes that were built before showers came around and then a shower was added.

It was cool when it was just a bathtub under a window.

Not so cool when you start spraying water all over it from the shower.

I saw it on a remodel once where the tile on the sill was sloped towards the window. I always carry around a marble with me for just such an occasion.

P.S. it's finally raining out here on the NW coast of CA.

I think this stupid design with a nice big window above the tub (where else you gonna put it?) went all the way into the early 60's when a shower was certainly expected with a tub.

I tell clients to get another shower curtain to pull across the window or face misery.

It wasn't a stupid design when they did it. The window was the ventilation. Didn't have bath fans back then.

Yeah I tell people to get an extra rod and a shower curtain also,and to open the curtain when not using the shower to keep area dried out

wouldn't it be required to be safety glass or is this one "grandfathered in"?

I always recommend installating safety glass in these. Don't know about "required."
