This home boasts a "roughed-in 3/4 bathroom!!!"




At least that's how the realtor explained it on the MLS listing. This is a basement bathroom that tops all, even some of those in Southern Minnesota that I've used while away at a curling tournament! We like to refer to the toilet as the "stool in basment," a term that I got from a former coworker in the lab. Since the floor is unlevel, it is built up on a pedestal (line by 1970s gold linoleum)! We told Emilie that it was "her bathroom," and to my surprise, she used the toilet without fear! The shower is a bit scarier - the water just flows on the floor, underneath the shower and beneath the toilet to the floor drain. Marc's dad Dennis is the first and only person to use it since we moved here - to quote the professor, "It's not a big deal, it's just like the army!" Anyway, it is a little rough, but the plumbing is all there for a future remodel. Besides, it is nice to have a second toilet, no matter how rustic! DT insists that we shouldn't remove it and that it's the best feature of the house - I suppose that if we ever pull it, we'll have to wrap it up for him as a gift!
