8 years ago the spring weather was different. It drizzled almost every day. It was cloudy. Now we have these clear sunny days, big winds and scant rain.

I wish I had a shower with a window
A shower needs a window. A bathroom needs a window. It’s proper, natural and practical. A window provides necessary ventilation and cleansing light (uv). A bathroom without a window is a broken bathroom.
That said, bathrooms without windows are pathologically common.
I feel strongly about this.
I take it your bathroom window isn’t facing a public road?
I feel strongly about not having to lock eyes with the kids going to school, or anyone for that matter, when I’m in the nip.
Get a $5 sheet of diffusor panel sticker. All the light with none of the image. Ez to apply.
And then crack the window 2" for air
I agree with you, but just to propose a (possibly easier) alternative, it’s also possible to buy spray on window frosting. I’m not sure how the price compares, but I found it far easier to apply.
That said, the stickers can have nice colors and patterns. AFAIK the frosting cannot.
This is the solution I went for. Still, I reckon I’d be just as fine in a windowless bathroom. Not a place I hang around more than I have to.
My bathroom has no window, and sometimes I shower in the dark with a tiny little nightlight on. It takes the visual distraction out and lets me seep even deeper into flow state. I prefer my bathroom this way. However a window for ventilation would be nice. But I just run the fan for an extra 15-20 minutes after I shower and it’s been fine.
I’ll have you know the throne is situated in such a way I’m staring myself down in the mirror.
Enjoying your own awkward company. In that situation I can’t make eye contact with myself.
No you don’t. I have one shower in my house with a window in it, and it’s an extra special pain in the ass. Window frames and windowsills are full of nooks and crannies and accumulate mildew like you wouldn’t believe, and require 600% more cleaning effort than is appropriate to prevent them from doing so.
That, and good luck finding any window treatments that are suitable for use while being constantly soaked. I resorted to making a “curtain” out of a modified shower curtain.
This is what I get for my house being a 1920’s redneck abomination where everything is an addition, and what is now the ground floor bathroom is in the spot where the original kitchen was in the 1930’s, with the window that used to be over the kitchen sink now directly in the center of the bathtub.
Ok, yes. If you do a window that’s gonna get sprayed then it’s gotta be aluminum and plastic or whatever. That’s a fact. And uv resistant too of course. And that’s pretty common in the world of specify your dims and order a nice window.
And there are options for how it opens too. It doesn’t have to slide.
