Could have saved hundreds of dollars on the foam if you built it from the ground up using adhesive instead of carving out so much of it. I probably run into about 30 - 40 different scenarios a day where I see somebody do something a certain way and think to myself, "Boy, I am an idiot for never thinking of doing it that way" lol

Hi Daniel. Thank you for sharing this. I've been asked to build a Japanese style soaking tub, and in researching have come upon your fantastic piece of functional art along with a tutorial for how you accomplished it. Beautiful work man. I have a question regarding the drain sysstem (I am not a plumber and the plumber I typically use is not interested in exploring beyond the standard, typical set-ups) - so is this a 2" pvc coming out of the floor with a pop-up on the inside? Any special fixtures involved in-between or simply glued together? Advice appreciated.

11 ай бұрын
Very welcome I’m happy you got inspired, yes it’s a standard 2” drain with a standard pvc reduction piece to 1 1/4” for that particular pop up copper drain piece, I didn’t glued that part into the reduction because the fit inside was perfect and pretty long with the extension tube , if I ever would have to replace it, it would be a simple minor fix

I’m able to buy the block of styrofoam from a manufacturer company here in Costa Rica and for oversize I glue the elements together with high end flex super bonder for ceramic tiles. Humidify means keeping the Portland based cement layer and stuccos always wet because of the cure for the oxidizing chemical reaction required, keep cement humid for as long as possible makes it harder and harder

We made a concrete tub in our home renovation and it was only afterwards I thought about insulation.. 😫 My fiance thinks the concrete will hold heat well by itself but I don't think so! It's a sunken tub in a pier and beam house, I wonder if we can can just go underneath it and add some sort of insulation... but the concrete itself is so thick I wonder if that would be pointless.
@danielgautschi2085
Жыл бұрын
Ideally the layers of fiber-plaster/ concrete on top of the insulation should be to the minimum strength requirements approx not less than 1” . If you have let’s say 4-5” of concrete and worth into the ground, it will take a lot of energy hot water to heat up the mass and it will also cool of quite fast , in the insulated technique the water stay hot for hours from the very beginning

It’s a type of reinforced fiber cement that becomes so strong that the styrofoam becomes irrelevant for its strength, the foam makes it easier to shape the form and later it acts perfect as a insulation and keeps the water hot for a very long time, it’s like a thermos bottle to keep beverages hot
