‘You come to my thrown asking for TP? Kneel before your king.’
I cannot imagine the panic this will induce the morning after an evening filled with unhealthy choices.
My friend had something like this in his basement and it was hilarous. That was like 20 years ago. Now today I was looking at possibly having a small bathroom put in our basement and realized exactly why it was built like that for the first time! You cant have the toilet lower than the sewage pipes, otherwise you need to put in a pump system which if it fails at some point could mean more issues. So they probably used the height to avoid needing that.
I want to put a half bath in the basement.
The drain in my basement is like 3 ft off the floor…
Yep. Need a poop blender pump thing to resolve the drain issue…
If I do go through with it I will be informing people it is a number 1 toilet only! I used to host poker games and the basement was the best spot. The only problem was no bathroom so they would go upstairs and risk waking my wife and now kids by doing so. I wanted it for that convenience basically and also for myself when I hang out down there. Definitely do not want it to be for number 2’s for the reasons you stated. If you need to do that then upstairs it is!
My house has only one bathroom so ive been tempted to put in a second. The only real option is the basement, but the sewer pipe leaves through the wall about 3’ off the floor. There’s a couple options with pumps, but a lot of negative talk online about it just not being reliable.
Raising the floor seems silly, especially raising it that much, but probably cheaper and more reliable.
Plus I assume this was an old stairway that was walled off in a remodel
The Throne sits upon a Dias
Truly, the throne.
I want to know what’s under those stairs.
The neighbor’s toilet. Saves space to stack ‘em like this. As long as they line it up right, flushing this one drops right into the bowl of the next one.
There’s no plumbing, it’s where they store the shit. When it gets full, they add another step.
It’s for when you want to post up some shit.
(See what I did there?)
In the basement, maybe? Could be either doing it this way or blend and pump the shit up to the sewer pipe.
That’s the same issue we have in the basement with that wash basin in the laundry room. It is located at 1.1m instead of the usual 0.9m height.
