Wasauna Steam Shower

2008-03-18T17:16:00.004-07:00

This is an innovative walk-in, built-in steam shower made by Wasauna. The shower includes features such as a vitamin c showerhead, chlorine filter, and a "never feel a drop of cold water" system that heats the water to a preset temperature so that every time you turn the water on it comes out at the exact temperature that you pre-specify. The built-in shower allows you to tile your own floor, so that you stand directly on your bathroom, creating a sturdy unit that won't budge with even heavy users.

Remodeling a Small Bathroom

2008-03-11T12:57:00.000-07:00

If you are remodeling a small bathroom, we recommend considering a shower stall without a bathtub. This shower is about 34" x 34". You could never get away with a bathtub this small. If you don't use a bathtub, you'll end up having a more useable bathroom by making the shower small and increasing the space for your vanity, sinks, and toilet. If you are planning to sell your house within a year, I would say make sure to keep a bathtub. Otherwise, feel free to rip it out.

Steam Generators

2008-03-11T12:47:00.000-07:00

I'm looking for information on steam generators: how to install them, how they work with different control panels, who the most reliable manufacturers are, and anything else you can think of. I'm ultimately looking to put together a piece on custom steam rooms. If you have any info, please send me an email. Thanks. Surprisingly, I've found that installing a steam generator is a lot easier than finding reliable online information about them. One question I have is: if I buy a control panel from Kohler, can I buy a steam generator from Toto, or do I have to use the same manufacturer for everything.

Kohler Steam Rooms

2008-03-10T14:06:00.001-07:00

This is a custom steam room with Kohler fixtures and a Kohler steam generator, I'm pretty sure. I found it in the Dallas News. I can't figure out if it has a door, but I love the shower heads, ceiling rain, and look of the control panel. This is modern bathroom design at it's finest, in my opinion. Estimated cost: $35,000.

Brett Jensen - Dentist - Folsom - Do not trust him!

2007-12-15T12:10:00.000-07:00

Brett Jensen, DDS, is a Folsom based dentist. Do not let him work on your teeth. He convinced me to get veneers about 5 years ago and the resulting problems were an absolute nightmare.

1) The veneers were so badly done that I had to get them removed and have a more professional dentist apply them. It was awful paying a fortune to have Brent do the work, only to have them removed because he made them yellow and fake looking. If anyone wants pictures of Brett's awful work, please email the site and I will have them sent to you.

2) He told me insurance would pay for a significant portion of the procedure, which seemed fine. 6 months later, after I had left the state, he sent me a bill for this portion, saying that he was wrong and that insurance actually wouldn't cover it. I feel certain he knew insurance wouldn't pay for it, but he told me this to convince me to go through with the operation.

3) He never communicated with me that he needed the money -- he simply sent the case to a collections agent, who reported badly to my credit. Once I saw the money was due, I paid it immediately, but Brett has steadfastly refused to remove this from my report.

Anyway, the bottom line is that Brett fakes like a nice guy but his staff is untrustworthy. There are so many dentists out there, why go to a guy who will rip you off at the drop of a hat, especially when he performs really poor work.

Rendering - "The client wanted an addition with a roomy master bath and closet. The corner was rounded and the tub recessed into the niche. The shower glass reflected the ceiling’s pitch. Concrete was used on the vanity tops. The idea’s reception was dubious until the client saw this rendering."
