Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Baths seem completely superfluous, but from what i’ve been told, if you’ve got kids especially younger ones they’re very necessary. So its the sorta thing you’d potentially be encouraged to keep for future sale-ability.

    So, when we were renovating our bathroom, we actually added a bath - couldn’t fit a separate one so its shower over bath but apparently that’s better than not having a bath at all.*

        Yes I agree, a bath is pretty necessary if you think your audience may be first home buyers (who are typically younger and may be thinking of having a family, or have young kids).

        With that said, how long are you planning on staying? If you think you’ll be there for the next 10 years, I’d probably do the bathroom you want then deal with it later. I wouldn’t put up with something you don’t want for 10 years for the sake of a sale far in the future, I wouldn’t expect it would affect the price enough to be worth the inconvenience.

            If it’s your main shower, if I were you I wouldn’t put in a bath. Put in a proper shower, enjoy it, and then when or if you eventually go to sell, ask the agent about it. If they think it will help to put in a bath, then do it then.
