Robert Jones Posted March 16, 2013 Report Posted March 16, 2013 This home originally built in 1910, was gutted and remodeled in 2007.

Robert Jones Posted March 16, 2013 Author Report Posted March 16, 2013 I looked all over for one and didn't see it. It does have a screen like it should be a spout. That heavy metal piece unscrews.
kurt Posted March 16, 2013 Report Posted March 16, 2013 Jim's right. It's a ceiling spout. They are one of the stupidest "new ideas" the plumbing industry has ever thought up.
ericwlewis Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 outrageously expensive too! http://www.faucet.com/kohler-k-923-mode ... Mgodb24ATw
Jim Katen Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 Only rich people can afford to have cold baths, I guess. After falling 8 or 9 feet through the air, the water is pretty well chilled. Click to Enlarge 49.18 KB
John Kogel Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 I imagine water splashes all over the place when the tub is about half full. Another brilliant designer product like the sink with no unsightly overflow drain. [:-thumbd]

Another brilliant designer product like the sink with no unsightly overflow drain. [:-thumbd] Oddly enough, the splashing is the worst at the very beginning. After there's an inch or two of water in the tub, there isn't so much. When I first started filling the tub in the picture, the water splashed over the glass partition and down to the kitchen below.
kurt Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 And loud. They're crazy loud at first. They came. They went.

Tom Raymond Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 The water is hard enough here that all that glass would be etched to obscurity in no time. And, if you swap the tub for the kitchen island my nephews would be belly flopping into it within minutes of arriving.
kurt Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 I've seen bathrooms like this where they have that glass that clouds out with an electric current; hit a switch, it's private. I'm surprised they don't have the magic glass. Then again, it's Portlandia; body functions are a natural act, it's politically correct to not care.

I'm surprised they don't have the magic glass. Electrostatic glass. We've got it but we don't use it for modesty. Then again, it's Portlandia; body functions are a natural act, it's politically correct to not care. Pretty much. We've got the Naked Bike Ride: http://bikeportland.org/2012/06/17/lots ... otos-73404 And the naked airport guy: http://www.kgw.com/news/Naked-fliers-at ... 08166.html Nobody cares too much about naked people on the 8th floor of a highrise.
Wasden Posted March 18, 2013 Report Posted March 18, 2013 Reminds me of the time I was staying at the "Tower Hotel" in Seoul. Glass wall in the shower overlooking the city. Pretty cool until I realized they could see IN! Talk about shrinkage!

Scottpat Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 Naked Bike Ride? I wonder if they use a special seat on the bikes? [:-dev3]

hausdok Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 Yeah, That must be some kind of northwest mania. They have some kind of parade in the Freemont district of Seattle every year where the participants literally "parade" their stuff. Naked guys and ladies on bikes and donkeys and all sorts of weird shite. People line up to see it with their kids fer crissake! Naked elderly ladies in body paint - [:-yuck] [:-shake] ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
Jim Katen Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 . . . Naked elderly ladies in body paint - [:-yuck] [:-shake] Hey, don't dis naked elderly ladies in body paint. Some of my best friends. . .
Denray Posted April 4, 2013 Report Posted April 4, 2013 I don't get it. Every animal on the face of the earth can be naked except for humans?
