I mean I get it, it makes the countertops look like the floors and having that much white grout is probably a nightmare to keep clean, but drat, just replace the countertops son

I'll admit I really like those weird shallow bowl granite sinks like the one he put in but they also seem really impractical and a pain to keep clean.

One of my uncles wanted to install one of these into a tiny little bathhouse he had. Apparently they are super expensive.

Though he might have been talking about running plumbing and everything to it.

Grainger is notoriously horribly overpriced, but yeah you're still talking in the $1,500-$2,500 range. I wonder why they're so crazy expensive?

I'm sure prison-grade steel toilets are just built to an amazingly high standard. Like they will never clog or need to have that little floaty ball thing that makes the water shut off replaced or something.

Not just for prison toilets though. I did a bit of consulting for a company that makes HVAC systems and their margin jumped like 20% on certain products when they stopped sourcing from Grainger.

They are also built so they are impossible to dismantle, detach from wall, or damage, which is what the suicide reduction tag in that link refers to.

They do have lovely sharp corners though so if you have a troublesome bunky you can just bounce their eye socket on that to get some quiet time.

Well even Grainger can't build a homicide reducing toilet. That's just impossible.

I was thinking more along the lines of a guest bathroom accessible from the backyard. I have a friend that throws a lot of backyard parties and her house has an in-law unit in the backyard. She had a tiny restroom built accessible from outside so guests could take a leak without having to go in and out of the house all night.

Sirius Cybernetics makes one that is excitingly chunky with no sharp edges but that one popped the suicide rates through the roof. By all appearances some of the prisoners had found the will to hold their breath to the point of asphyxiation.

Whatever happened to hanging yourself with your bed sheets by sticking your hands in your pockets and leaning forward? Prisoners got it easy these days with their swanky suicide toilets.
