Give me double toilets mate, couples that shit together, stay together
Because whoever built this McMansion made the bathroom too big and needed to fill some empty space with something besides a newspaper kiosk full of Wall Street Journals.
I will say that if you and your partner are both getting ready to go somewhere, and you’re somehow sharing a bathroom, then you don’t need to split time at the sink. I guess that’s nice.
i wish my wife and i could poop together in the same room comfortably
Two toilets each on opposite walls so we can face each, to talk and shit, literally
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I wonder if there are regulations or something they’re trying to get around? Usually septic system are only sized for a certain amount of use and one of the ways this is enforced in the US to prevent septic failures is to limit the number of bathrooms (or maybe toilets?) a house can have before the septic needs upgrading. The latter can be out of responsible financial reach even for a good chunk of the PMC.
Septic systems are sized based on number of bedrooms not bathrooms.
Although if you have a jacuzzi style tub it increases the size.
my sister’s house (no mansion, just a recent build) has double sinks in the master bedroom. the layout(s) of the bathrooms house-wide are annoying to me. it seems all new builds are just large for largesse rather than utility; laid out more for the listing than for use.
it’s a 4 bedroom 4 bath house. upstairs, the master has its bath complete with two sinks like post (toilet is relegated to a weird claustro-closet). one of the sinks in her bathroom is a junk drawer ha!
The other 3 bedrooms: one has its own master bath and shower, and the final two bedrooms have a shared bath n’ shower set between them. none of these bathrooms are accessible from the hallway, you must go thru a bedroom to do your business.
there is one “public” bathroom on the main level…now lemme talk about that stinker.
This damn thing is a half-bath, set right between the kitchen and living area. i don’t know how the architect managed it, but it is somehow accoustically perfected to deliver your performance to the rooms nearby where everyone’s tryina hang out.
Exaggeration? Not even. Like, forget stealth mode, you need a battle plan with flawless execution. You think things are going well? One slip-up and the people watching tv or chatting will be interrupted by your public broadcast. The noise is seriously noticeable.
No, I’m not scatalogically shy, nor do i possess super-hearing. It’s a problem. A bad enough problem she eventually had another bathroom installed basement-level so guests might poo without detailing exquisitely to everyone what they ate that day.
New house designs have gotten so shitty, and McMansions are the worst offenders. I live in an old WW1 era house and while it lacks in a feq modern conveniences like an HVAC system, the built-in efficiences are wonderful.
Every room has a solid door, and closing them gives you a lot of privacy. Walls naturally insulate, allowing me to open windows on cool evenings and close them in the morning before the heat arrives – It can be as low as 70 indoors when it’s 90 outside. This works in reverse too when it’s heat you need instead. If it’s truly hot, the windows are all positioned to allow a breeze to pass straight thru the household.
If needed, the kitchen can be closed off to stop the heat, smoke, and odors from permeating the house. This makes the kitchen more of a strict workspace and less of a socializing area though. There are a lot of major hassles in having an older house, but the energy efficiency is wonderful
So they CSB have boring rich person conversations and glare at each other through the mirrors instead of looking at each other
