In case this isn’t a shit post, it’s because it takes me 2 minutes to get ready for bed and it takes my wife 15 minutes, and it’s nice to not have to wait for the other to be finished at the sink.
Yeah, same thing in the morning. You're both rushed to get ready for work and it is one less thing to worry about having to sync your routines. Definitely a luxury, but pretty simple to implement, comparatively.
Dual toilets, or go all the way to separate bathrooms, is more expensive. Plumbing is harder, fixtures are more. But I admit I'm intrigued by the idea of completely separate sleeping/bathing spaces and only sharing the kitchen and living areas. Like, how far can we separate things before they get "weird" for you?
Separate toilets is probably my limit. If my wife wanted more distance than that from me, I imagine she wouldn’t have married me. I’m sure there are relationships that value personal space over intimacy for whatever reason, so I’m not gonna knock it lol
lol sorry friend, I came in here to make a joke about men not wanting to wait for their wives and decided against it after typing it out, then immediately saw this.
Its actually helpful having more than one sink, I'd be overjoyed to have laundry trough in my bathroom.
[For additional washing-up options, people will consider] everything but the kitchen sink
All I want is space for four washer dryer combo machines
Believe it or not she wanted her own, I could t care less lol the last thing she wants is me muscling her out of the way to wash my hands while she’s late for work.
What does the sink have to do with that though? Even if you are talking about brushing teeth, potentially having to borrow the sink for like 8 seconds seems like a good tradeoff to get more counter and storage space I. The bathroom or shrink the bathroom so it doesn't waste as much sqftage.
Teeth, makeup (removal), shaving, nails, and whatever else.
I guess it’s a preference. I get to have my few things arranged how I like, she hers. We wouldn’t have any use for the extra counter space either, to be honest.
I don’t really prefer one way or the other. We bought the house and it has a double sink, when I renovated it I put in an ikea one because that’s what was there. 🤷
You do all of that in 2 minutes?
I wouldn't renovate to get rid of such, but it just seems so wasteful by whoever originally designed it unless you have like a 4000 sq ft place for like 4 people and don't care about waste.
I dunno what to tell you, the small counter space between the two basins is clutter free, I dunno what else we’d need to put on the bathroom counter. We’re talking like max 5 linear feet of vanity, basins included. Maybe you need more space than we do, that’s cool.
The alternative is just less sq ft in the bathroom. Obviously not sometimes you'd do now. But like, paying extra every month or year for an extra 10sqft is annoying, even if you live in a low cost of living city where that's only like $10/month extra you are paying for it, is still hardly seems like it's worth the few seconds of inconvenience unless you make like $100/hr.
If you reduce it all down to ratios then yeah it’s probably silly. And I’m also privileged to not be renting, so there’s that too. But when you’re buying an existing house, you don’t really get to decide where the builders put the bathroom walls 30+ years ago. You just gotta decide if it’s good enough, and in our case, it was.
Good point, I brush my teeth and shave in the shower
