Facebook Aunt posted:Didn't some of the real old tenements not have bathrooms in the apartments at all? I saw an old movie like that once: a family had a 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchen but no bathroom, the bathroom was down the hall. A friend of mine lived in an apartment in downtown Stockholm in a house built in the late 19th century. It originally didn't have a bathroom, just a toilet. At some point someone remodeled and converted a built in closet into a shower, simply by tiling the inside of the "room".

god drat it, could no one even bother filling the well with sand before laying the floor down?! sand and gravel aren't expensive and pouring stuff down a hole is not something you have to hire a professional for.

You gotta at least put some traps in the well. Spikes, a rope you pull that drops a bunch of venomous snakes.. Something. Jeez.

Collateral Damage posted:A lot of older buildings in Europe were not built with bathrooms. Some had toilets but no bath, some had neither. You took your weekly bath either in a river, at a public bathhouse or in a tub out in the yard. That explains the bathroom in the rental I stayed in when visiting Paris. It had a toilet, and a very smushed-in shower that was kind of trapezoidal and not really shaped in a way to be used by actual humans with, like...arms and stuff.

Yeah, not covering a well, but apparently that's the dumb DIY homeowner answer that if you can cover it and make it a future problem, do it. I removed my bathroom vanity to find a hole in the floor direct to the crawl space and at the edge of one of the foundation piers. It was a direct space for critters to get in. I also suspect that in my other bathroom the tub is over the old furnace. I've never crawled far enough to tell, but the old gas pipes are outside and the tub is raised weirdly.

There are some variants where you have a shower mixer with a tap and the sink attached to a wall that pivots out of the way when you want to shower. The sink simply drains into the shower drain.

I have coworkers who have stories about their families having them until around then. Different state tho.

I stayed at a hostel in Rome where they went one better. the shower head was pointed directly at the toilet seat, right over a sink that was itself practically over the toilet, so somebody could also shave while doing the other two things.

You took your weekly bath either in a river, at a public bathhouse or in a tub out in the yard. My sister had a house in Wales that was built in the early 1800s. The original bathroom was in the back yard. You walked out through the kitchen and there was a weird door alcove on the building that looked like it would be yard storage, but was actually a toilet. It was just one step from an outhouse, and referred to as the 'spider toilet'. A previous owner converted the bedroom above the kitchen into a proper bathroom, but it was weirdly large- they didn't bother trying to carve out a room or redesign the whole floor. So there was a full bathroom with enough additional space for a twin bed.

As outhoses go, they're very nice and well maintained, but as someone with some real issues with arachnophobia, I spend a lot of time hyperfocusing on, like, a knot in the door or a rock in the corner so I don't have to think about the fact that I'm surrounded by motherfucking spiders all around me aaaaah I have go take a shower now.

I mean, like… when my kids were 0-2 years old I gave them a quick shower after every poop because 1. wipes are abrasive 2. it's fun 3. it's effective So, cool, I agree with that.

I know this is ignoring the elephant in the room WRT to the rafters and weird toilet situation, but what is with the metal tub? The one good bit is the stained glass, and it's wasted as part of the bathroom.
