I used to think a shower-tub combo was the smartest solution for a small bathroom, until I actually lived with one. What seemed practical at first turned into a daily hassle. Cleaning around the fixtures feels like a never-ending battle, and don’t even get me started on slipping hazards or awkward design choices. Sure, it…
