    If you’re going to pull the tile to add another shower head, also add a handheld shower attachment. It will make cleaning the shower so much easier.

    If your HVAC is properly installed...you wouldn't have any hot or cold spots. There's actually a calculation that is used to figure everything out...down to size of the ductwork, vents, returns, furnace, etc.

      @@MissieandAkeem that's why it is important to get a copy of the permit plans. It'll tell you what size ducts you're supposed to have in order to meet air pressure standards. An independent inspector would be able to tell you if the blower or the duct sizes are sufficient. Most city inspectors are great, but i doubt they test the air pressure.

    Yeah I agree I definetly don't need that rain shower pouring over me like that either lol. These were awesome tips. It's crazy because when you're going through the process you have your list of what you want and don't want and you think okay I got all my bases covered and some how things still seem to get by you. But yall's home is so beautiful. I have watched all of your videos I just didnt comment but great content.

      not really. I dont think a designer would have helped with our regrets because we were aware of the options and considered it but trying to keep somewhat in budget and yet get what you want is not easy lol.
