worst part is, I kinda fuck with this.
A bath and not having to leave and go to your bedroom through a cold hallway ๐คฉ
the mold on the other hand.... ๐ฅฒ
Even with treated wood the humidity would just tear that up. Let alone any bedding and mattresses.
an industrial air conditioner should fix that
I just imagine, like navy, use metal that looks like wood. Then some good dehumidifiers...this could work.
I love their fake wood.
I was traveling sometime around 10 years ago when I waltzed into a music shop and looked around. I saw some neat instruments, and I remember seeing an upright bass that looked just a bit off.
Turns out it was made out of Aluminum and it was made towards the end of WWII to put on ships as a set of big band instruments to entertain sailors. The wood pattern was pretty slick, though just a bit off from what Iโd expect.
Invest in really good ventilation! A lot of apartment shower vents just kinda vent into the wall, with too-small ducting that is easily blocked. I had a contractor get into the walls and put in new wide ducts, making sure they went all the way to the outside vents and were locked on, put new screens to keep bees out, and installed new vent lights with better motors and set them to High. Now I can get out after a hot shower and see myself in clear mirrors, and mildew is no longer a problem. Another thing about OP's setup, it's baths only, and that means less steam in the first place.
