I would put some thought into this.I've seen quite a few kitchens that the under mount fixtures look like an after thought.You really want them to look like they were always a part of the plan from...

Hey Bassman,

Thats why I asked where the wire was going.It wasn't feeding another receptacle in the other room.It was in the bathroom.I didn't say it was illegal,it just looks like a sloppy...

Some of the regular pro's will chime in when they log on in the morning...
More info will help.Is the broken flange plastic or metal that has rusted away?
Tile or vinyl on the floor?

FWIW,demand heaters are very popular here.Many people live off grid.

I'm with Jimbo on your backer board.Did you screw it or nail it?If you screwed it,I would take the time to remove it,furr out the studs to have the backer come over the tub flange.Fix the vapor...

Have to see a picture of it but if they cut both ends on an angle they did it for a reason.As another poster said if they are straight cut and random length they were being lazy.A good inspector...
