    I can see where the bath fan goes; and where you plug in for the heated toilet seat; but I'm missing the rough in for the toilet drain and water supply......a door would be nice, too! :rofl: :lol:



    JK-looks real nice!

    They do make incinerating toilets.

    This would be perfect right in that spot.

    Getting there...I have the vinyl about 60% done; should be done by the end of next weekend, and be able to get the chase cover/cap installed where the tarp currently resides. I'll take a shot when I get home from work today.

    Man...trying to squeeze in a couple hours here and there between work and family obligations makes for a VERY slow moving project!

    Stone guys finished up this afternoon, but I'm having them come back to swap out some of the smaller stones on the right corner since it looks off balance against the left side. Overall, I'm really happy with how it came out.

    Looks very HQ! I have to admit I am a bit out of my element here so that job looks unbelievably good

    I think you'd want to light 'er up only after you got off of the seat. :yes:

    IDK, just using my better judgement, with no personal knowledge of how they work.

    Now to settle on a stain color for the slab...I'm thinking a slightly darker grey than what it already is.

    Looks like you have put a lot of work into it. Can't wait to see it all done.
