To be honest, if you saw the (external) colour of our bathroom suites, you’d be getting them out sharpish, too

Yeah, there is no saving this one, right?![]()
That’s one of the reasons we’re changing the toilets in our new place. The old ones are dual flush too but the small flush uses about 80%, so it’s not very practical.
Great if you’re changing yours, too.

Interesting. That kind of thing didn’t happen here so much but outdoor loos were a thing for a long time. I’ve bought more than one house with a working outdoor loo.Showers: just changing to a water saving showerhead will go a long way!
And yeah, the rest is habits.
But being born in the 80's means that I grew up with a strict time limit for my showers, the Danish economy was pretty tight back then.
That habit just stayed.
And I think it was in the 70's, when the first big oil crisis hit, that most houses got rid of their baths.
But even before then: it was uncommon to have a bath, and if you lived in a flat in Copenhagen then it was uncommon to have your own to toilet.
Only the upper class apartments had those, the normal working class flats all shared the loo outside in the yard and took showers at the "badstuen" (public baths).
It is only after I became an adult that the last flats got toilets installed!
So for us danes it sounds rather exotic when you guys talk about drawing a bath.![]()
That’s a good tip especially with the prices these days.@TiedbyChris - You should take a look on eBay, the market for secondhand and unused building materials is HUGE!
You would be surprised if you knew how many building materials that got discarded even before they got unpacked (imagine clients changing their minds months into a project.. what to do with the things that was already bought?) but because of the hassle of returning them, they often get sold on places like eBay, for less than half of the price.
(That was how I renovated my toilets, it was so easy!)
How many of us do you think you could fit in your shower?
