Is having a toilet in the middle of the room good?
Having a toilet in the middle of a room is generally considered impractical and undesirable due to concerns over privacy, hygiene, and aesthetics. It can disrupt the flow of the space and make it uncomfortable for occupants. However, in certain design contexts, such as open-concept bathrooms or avant-garde art installations, it might be used intentionally to challenge conventional norms. Ultimately, its suitability depends on the specific setting and cultural attitudes towards bathroom design.
Should a shower curtain be placed at ceiling height or at tile height if tile does not extend up to ceiling?
The purpose of a shower curtain is to contain water - keeping it off the floor and the wall, especially if it is not covered in a waterproof surface material. One important factor in hanging the curtain is the height of the people showering. A tall person whose head is closer to the shower head will put a lot more water up and out of the shower enclosure than a shorter person. In the planning stages of a plumbing project, you can place the shower head higher than normal (nice for us tall folks, anyway) to minimize spray deflection. But if this is a case of a new curtain rod only, take note of where droplets remain after you shower, and plan to place the curtain rod where it will deflect the spray. This is unfair on taller people, however, as standard shower curtains can only be raised so far before they let water out the bottom! Perhaps you'll need to buy or make an extra-long curtain; maybe add coordinating fabric to the top or bottom of a standard curtain. If height is not an issue, hang a curtain liner on the rod and hold it up over the tub; the bottom of the liner should fall securely into the tub, but not lie on the bottom. Mark the bracket position and be sure to hang the rod level. Remember to keep close watch on the painted surfaces inside the shower enclosure: if your tile stops short of the spray-line, you'll be repainting more often to keep moisture out of the drywall. It is always a good practice to wipe walls after showering, to keep nasty things like mold and mildew at bay. Even the best latex paint is no match for standing water, and you certainly don't want your drywall compromised. Good luck! Jill Murtagh, Murtagh Interiors
How do you rip up ceramic tile?
Tile is glued onto a surface and then grouted. Both of these processes make it stay put very well. You can break it up with a sledge hammer, but then you will also need to replace the drywall. If you are redoing a shower or bath area, replacing the drywall usually needs to be done anyway.
Is it OK to use a jumbo wax ring and another regular sized wax ring that both have the plastic thing inside them as the drain is .75 inch below the top of the tile but secured to the plywood floor?
As long as the toilet sits level on the floor so that it does not rock and you tighten the bolts holding it down there shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure one of each size wax ring is enough.
What should I know before installing floor tile?
You should know the measurements of the space to be tiled and the measurements of the tile that you plan to buy. Before installing tile you will need to repair any cracks, bumps or dips. You should remove any trim around the floor. And, if doing a bathroom remove the toilet. Good things to know before installing floor tile would be how long the floor will take to set, as well as if you have all the necessary tools to complete the job. Most floor tile installs will require some tiles to be cut, so make sure you can measure and cut the tiles as needed. The installation of the tiles will depend on the instructions listed on the tiles you have picked out so make sure you read these carefully before starting.

When taking shower and someone flushes toilet at same time the water in shower is scalding hot?
When you take a shower, you're mixing a combination of hot and cold water to make a comfortable temperature for the shower water. A toilet draws only off the cold water system. In older or poorly designed plumbing systems, when you flush the toilet, the cold water is pulled by toilet, so the water coming through the shower is only drawing from the hot water tank.
