A while back I wrote about the

These days, whirlpool tubs are a practically-mandatory addition to a luxury bathroom remodel. And with luxury bathroom remodels in the home improvement spotlight,there's a good chance that, if you're planning a major renovation, a new whirlpool tub is on your to-do list. But not all

There are two kinds of people in this world: people who wash, and people who bathe. If you're the latter, you probably know what I mean - whether you're taking a hot shower or a luxurious bubble bath, it isn't just about getting in, getting out, and getting clean.

Most standard bathtubs have a wall mounted faucet - but if you're upgrading to a big inset tub like a whirlpool - or especially a freestanding tub - it can be d...
