Stupid Property Repairs #5
I suppose it is tough to say this is a Stupid Repair, as all the houses of this vintage (pre 1950) were built this way.
It is more about how various investment property owners have attempted (and I am using that term generously) to deal with this troublesome bathroom feature.
Back when many of the properties in Minneapolis were built, I guess people only took baths. Consequently, most bathrooms have a large window in them that is above the bathtub. While this is a design feature even seen in new homes, the problem comes in when a shower head is added to that bathtub to make a shower. Now, that nice light-filled window is water magnet with few great solutions.
Here are a couple attempts to fix this situation (all that are destined to fail)! Click on the pictures to see them in all their glory!
| Interesting way to tile over the window! | Notice painted black windows for privacy! | |

It is that old saying, when life gives you a bunch of lemons, make lemonade. I think these guys put some vodka in their lemonade when they thought up these repairs!Have you always wanted to buy investment property, but never knew where to start? Don’t Wait! Get Started now.
