Parents got a Tall-Neck one a while back, s’ easier to refill the water purifier with it

> (I read online that a good reason why your room is especially cold is potentially due to a cracked window)

Sorry but that's nonsense. The crack will have zero effect on the temperature of your room

Xps insulation. Just coat with a screen, and paint at the joints. Search YouTube for xps cabinets.

Goodwill has used suitcases and plastic totes for dirt cheap every now and then.

Follow up, what product would you suggest for this? There are so many options when looking at Home Depot and most are little tubes for smaller applications. Is there anything in liquid form I could just pour into the hole?

Aluminum square tubing and sheet metal. Rivets or screws.

Lexan and epoxy? What exactly are you trying to do?

It'll be fine.

Loctite makes glass glue. I am just not sure how you would use it on this kind of crack. Maybe a razor blade or something. That's a pretty big crack.

Weld a circular disc on the top of the rebar stakes, 3-4” in diameter. Basically turn it into a welded on rebar cap

EKO ply. It’s all recycled material or use plastic wood.

What are you using if for? What is the weight of contents? Why not wood?

Corrugated plastic or HD corrugated cardboard.

Reinforced double wall polystyrene will give you a lot of strength.

In this case I would just tile slightly onto the drywall. This will be the easiest way to make sure you have a nice looking edge where your drywall and tile meet. I always use a liquid waterproofing membrane on the tile backer anyway and you can put some on the drywall where it will have tile on it. Tape the seams with some fibatape and paint over the entire area that will be getting wet with the waterproofing. If you are using a shower pan liner on the floor make sure it goes up at least a foot on all sides and make sure the tile backer comes down over the top of it. You should be good to go. This is the way I usually do it anyway.

Sheet metal and pop rivets for the joints is the first thing I can think of.

Way way worse is if that toilet splits while you’re on it and a razor sharp piece of porcelain cuts you to the femur as you fall. I saw a NSFW picture where that happened to someone once and it’s been a fear ever since.

You mean like a milk crate?

Easiest thing to do is cover it with tape and then stick a thick blanket over the window like drapes. The kit where you apply double sided tape and plastic and use a hair dryer actually works pretty good. It’s a decent fix until you replace the window/glass.

I like that idea. I was thinking of getting a long plastic stake for growing trees and cutting it to size but this would probably be better

I definitely considered this, but wasn’t sure of the logistics. I have a circular saw though so I might could make them somewhat sloppily.

Thanks for the advice

Light a stick of incense and follow the smoke to see where the cold is coming from.

Cement board is more than sufficient. The other options are nice and a lot easier to work with, but are also a lot more expensive. I’ve been in some form of residential or commercial construction for nearly two decades and 95% of the tile jobs in bathrooms had cement board behind them. Make sure your tile guy tapes the seams with fiber mesh and floats the joints with thinset and you won’t have any issues.
