That is rad. I rent a warehouse so I can work on my stuff. I live inside a small makeshift apartment in the back corner of the warehouse. My towel bar just broke and my towels are hanging over the door. I can't shut the door after I poop because the towel has no where else to go, so I have to deal with it. Glade has been my friend.

Holy cow there is some awesome stuff here. Texas ********, if you were anywere near me you'd be welcome to setup alternate living space in my stairwell and double your square footage. In one last sales pitch for me, I'll add that while the others are in fact soaked with awesomeness, towel bars are a static thing. Now a hand railing, that's something which guests are more or less forced to interact with. It's the kind of thing they wouldn't forget. Not only that but it adds consequence to stairs, not only could you fall, but you could grind your face into hamburger. Freakin Perfect. I also remodel with great vigor and wouldn't let it lanquish in a box forever...........gotta go, there's mud, knife, & tape calling......
Wow, this is really cool of you! Here are a few pictures of my in progress car themed bathroom: They are all car ads from the late 40s thru the mid 60s, about 100 of them! A hand towel bar goes to the left of the sink, it would be perfect there! Is it worthy?
I got a 4-cylinder crankshaft out of an Opel on a large 6" dia. ballbearing so it can rotate, and a sb Chevy cam on the mantelpiece at home. On the heater itself lies a ringgear, topfuel piston with rod, and a piston&rod-combo out of said 4 cylinder. I've also got 4 used camshafts in the hall way, just in case I need to '******' someone out the door So, I don't think I need another cam in the house.
WOW! Those end brackets are NICE! Just finishing up my bathroom remodel. My downstairs bathroom is just inside the door from the garage and I got the "go ahead" from the wife to redo it as a "shop" bathroom. I used a craftsman rollaway toolbox as a vanity... cut out the top and drawers to make room for the undermount sink bowl, then welded U-shaped sheet metal in the back of each drawer. Everything is still functional and it holds A LOT more than a normal vanity. Gear shift for a hand towel next to the sink, but I still need a towel bar for a full size towel! Thanks for posting this up!
Haha, thanks! I've been here a little over 1.5 years, I couldn't find a house with a garage that I could afford, so I went this direction. Let's just say "It's Cozy".
Thanks, choptop50! I've been wanting to build a "shop bathroom" worthy of my reading material... My wife even got involved with her own craft project - she hot glued miscellaneous hardware to the full length mirror frame on the back of the door. Completely covered it. That cheap mirror now weighs about 20 pounds and I had to anchor it to the hollow core door... But it looks cool!
I special ordered the black toilet. They don't make many of them. HOT TIP: Don't get a black toilet unless you enjoy cleaning toilets. It's just like a black car, but worse, if you know what I mean... Oh well, I got the "look" I was going for...
ya, you can special order black and red from kohler, at least last i knew. and yup, theyre a ***** to keep clean, calcium shows up bad. but they look killer, as does that flush handle
Please save me. This is my bathroom, or should I say my wifes.. It is horrible, It is our main bathroom and I can't even use it comfortably. That basket is full of car rags, yet everytime I use it she runs in there and covers them up with girly/ mommy mags. There is so much frill and feminine "stuff" I can feel my nads dissapearing. She thinks that what we have is totally normal for a "spoken for man". She is so convinced, that she said,"if I can find another commited man that disagrees, I get my choice of room to fix any way I wan't. Please help! I am in hairbag hell. Thanks for your consideration. Gregg girly mags and "stuff" There is so much more, but I am to embarrased to show it. I am ashamed but I have a basket full of purses in the b/room entrance an F'ing br*** dancer on the counter(it's huge) Save Me Please!!!
Totally. Add a gold foil ponytail, and use the Dremel to carve some fishnets on those legs... instant cl***. ~Jason
Jesus! I think I'd shoot myself in the head......while standing next to my wife, at which time I'd duck the moment I pull the trigger
you could also add a voice box that says " i'm just doing this to pay for collage" over and over while sweet cherry pie plays.lol and yes dud e you should get at least one room to re-do for yourself.
