      A lot of Asian homes don’t have a dedicated shower stall, as building spaces tend to be very limited.

      Wet rooms are pretty common in Korea, and probably a lot of dense cities. The whole bathroom is treated as the shower, and there’s a drain in the center of the room.

      Not saying I like it, but it’s not like this is some landlord special.

        One of my old coworkers had an issue with that when he was visiting the US. He was at his hotel room and he did not put the shower curtain on the inside of the tub and basically did not even use it and went about showering all willy nilly. He finished up and there was a bunch of water on the floor and he kind of just assumed the drain was slow. The other person staying in the room from the US went into the bathroom and wondered why the fuck the shower curtain was on the outside of the tub. My coworker was from India and just thought the curtain was there to cover you if someone wanted to take a leak.

          Cultural differences. Like the Korean ones, Indian bathrooms are generally designed to drain water from the whole floor, but instead of the center, the floor usually slopes down slightly to drain in a corner.

          In the ones that do have a wet area - like in higher end hotels, there’s usually a glass door as a separator.

            I actually do like that feature. Thinking of doing it at my house. Would make cleaning so much easier. Get the removable shower head, spray everything down and just squeegie it to the drain.

      So you put one portal down the toilet, one portal on the bottom of the bucket, and boom. Infinite shower.

      That’s about as depressing a place as I’ve ever seen that has indoor plumbing.

          Depends where in New York. Condos in Manhattan are over $2000 a sq. ft. Brooklyn is less than $700 a sq. ft.

      I’m not big at all and I’m pretty sure my shoulders are wider that that “room”. Lol. I would have to walk in at an angle.

    There is a wax ring, then 2 bolts that hold it down. Then hook up the water line.

    You don’t. You put the toilet in first, then you raise the walls!

    Imagine moving in and then you get depression and eat like shit so you become too fat to reach the toilet and since you’re a depressed mess with no self respect you grease up the walls so you can push yourself fatly to the toilet.

    I’ll bet the plumber had to grease himself up to get in there and do that job.
