  • Has anyone ever removed an en suite bathroom?

    We have an en suite bathroom off our master bedroom and I absolutely despise it to the point that we’ve just locked the door and don’t really use it anymore.

    It has an electric shower which absolutely destroys our electricity bill (it’s reduced by 20 a month since we stopped using it), and the whole room needs the mould scrubbed off the surfaces every week. I’m aware that once mould gets into plasterboard it’s impossible to kill, so the obvious route would be to just redecorate and re plaster the walls, but we’re considering repurposing it into a laundry room (as it already has a hefty feed for the shower).

    Is that a terrible idea?

  • Also have the hatred for ensuite. A 3am shite should not be smell-able from where you sleep. Since the dawn of humans, we would always go off somewhere away from where the pack sleeps, its just common sense.

    I've seen a few, and literally a few, ensuite where it makes sense (big master bedroom on one floor/attic conversion) where its laid out well and exceuted well. But solid 98% that i've ever seen, especially on older houses that have them jammed in a hardboard cupboard type affair, are just a joke*

    *This is also after helping various mates, with various leaking ensuites of their own, and upstairs neighbours where masticated and lightly pressurized shite has been blowing through their ceiling from upstairs neighbours who fail to understand how pipes work. This has happened to at least 4 mates, and each time I've sworn I would never knowingly live under a flat that has a relocated (to wrong side of building from the soil pipes, or has a masticator pump job to pump out an internally built bathroom/ensuite) as the chaos and filth is honestly horrific.

  • People seem to have forgotten that shit doesn't go round corners very well at all.

  • A 3am shite should not be smell-able from where you sleep

    You normally sleep surrounded by your own gaseous emissions, why is it different if it comes from having recently "dropped the kids off at the pool"?

    Totally with you on the macerators though, and they can be noisy fucking things.
