I don’t get it. What’s the problem?
I agree. It’d be kind of nice to have it off to the side.
Other side, sure. On the entrance side you might stub your toe.
Showerhead seems like an issue. I guess if you can articulate it to point to the wall and the wall is well sealed it’s probably ok.
The wall has to be well sealed. This is better. The shower head is pointed away from the curtain. Less water on the floor.
I mean, it could be worse? That’s definitely pretty obnoxious, though.
I know exactly what happened here having just done a renovation on a basement with a completely fucked up bathroom.
They re-used the existing piping and lines when replacing the tub and shower surrounds.
They wanted to save a few hundred dollars and/or effort of moving the pipes to center up with the prefab tub/surround, and just figured they could drill the hole into the surround for the shower attachments wherever.
They’re correct, but that doesn’t make them right.
More likely, there is a sistered stud directly in the center of the surround, and to fix it properly, they would have to tear out both sides of the wall.
Offsetting the valve to one side or the other, they don’t have to do any additional demolition, framing, or drywall.
