American Toilets
The typical home in the States has 2 toilets. Almost all
have a full bathroom with a toilet, sink, and a bathtub with a shower included. Many have an additional half-bath which is a toilet and a sink. So you will see homes for sale with 1 bath, 1-1/2 bath. 2 bath, etc. In my travels outside of North America, I have always found the toilets to be preferrable. There are two types of U.S. Toilets: with tank and tankless. The tankless toilets are far better and do not require the trusty plungers. My only criticism of the Australian bathroom is the stand-alone, rim-less shower that is beveled toward the drain in the corner. While it is an exceptionally good use of space and makes rinsing the bathroom floor much more efficient, I'm use to taking a shower in a tub so that I can soak my feet while showering.

I have owned two houses where there was a Shower installed over the bath, encircled by a shower curtain. It sames on space, expense and definitely easier to keep clean. Shower cabinets are too expensive to install and harder to keep clean, not to mention the valuable space they waste. Dick - If you want aa preview of Heaven, visit North Carolina. |
