How much water volume does it take to handle a custom walk-in shower system with multiple shower heads? Or better yet...how much hot water storage is sufficient to fill a two-person water jetted tub?

The amount of water that is required to adequately supply a multi-station custom shower system is something that I was curious about when I visited a model home in nearby Hanover subdivision in Hiram, GA.

I made a return visit to Hanover the other day and spoke with Russ Giudicessi, Builder with Prime Built Communities, Inc., and asked him that very question.

Here's what Russ had to say...

I see custom built-in bookshelves / bookcases in many of the upscale homes for sale that I visit. Many times they flank a fireplace, show themselves in a cozy den or library and sometimes they are built in the sitting room of the master bedroom suite.

No matter how many times I see them, I never think to myself, "...what in the world was going through the builders' mind when he/she stuck them here?!" They are always a welcome sight because of their utility and space saving design.

I've gathered a few photos below of custom "built-in-the-wall" bookshelves / bookcases from my travels to homes under construction. Take a look to gather some ideas for your home.
