Bath with high legs: how to make it stand firmly (an interesting case, related to the old Soviet bathtub)

Going to the nearest store plumbing, you will notice that the bath manufacturers produce models with different feet tall. It can vary from two to twenty centimeters. Much, in principle, it depends on the production of material from which to create a particular instance. In the present article we consider the interesting case, related to the old Soviet bathtub, which did not want change.

Why the old tub and high legs - is evil?

The owner of one-bedroom apartment has collected N-th sum of money (which in the end was not enough), and decided to start a repair in the bathroom. Almost immediately it decided to get rid of the old sink, toilet, and instead of the annual whitewashing - oblitsevat ceramic wall tiles. No sooner said than done. It remains only to solve the problem with the bathroom. Though she and the Soviet, but is made of good-quality steel, carefully trimmed from the outside. The only negative - high legs. This creation was in a normal state, there is no need to spend extra money to buy a new copy.

High legs did not like the owner of at least two reasons:

1. Owner weighs 130 kilograms, so every time a bath staggered left and right.

2. Over time, from this "drive" one of the fastenings gave a small crack, but because to the eye of a fixing bolt legs was more than two centimeters, the owner did not attach special significance. But there is a problem.

After five minutes surfing the site dedicated to repair, it made the crucial decision. The task - to assign the role of stabilizer legs.

Result

At the time of performing the repair of 70 meters from the facility were built multi-storey building. After explaining the situation and asking local guard a couple of bricks, he had allowed to enter the territory for 15 minutes. How could endure during this time, would be so much gained. Armed with via 3 neighbors failed to make bricks 60, which is quite enough to translate into reality conceived.

The result is a small podium, which is ideal bath to bed. To the metal is not bent by the load, after laying all the space inside the right longitudinal edge is filled with cement 500 th solution.

To bath no rusting inside surface is further treated white residues and black ink. Inside there is no condensation, because the remnants of free space failed to engage efficiently, setting a plastic door for storage of household chemicals.

And as the bath did not reach one of the walls, this distance is decided to compensate the remainder of bricks and subsequent full lining.

Six years have passed, bath held steady, not reeling in hand. As for the feet, they now play the role of stabilizer beneath the load weight of the person and water. That's because the Soviet tank can be given a second life!
