Thank you!
Interesting to hear about regulations in other places.
Donna, I have to admit I was almost embarrassed for my old bathroom when having visitors.
Randy, when it comes to electrical installation it’s almost the same over here; you can do most of the work yourself but a certified electrician has to do the final connections and to check that all is OK.
Regarding plumbing I’m not sure if we can do all of it ourselves or not. Anyway, if you do it yourself and something goes wrong you're on you own - no insurance company will help you.
Denise… “the basketâ€â€¦ 
At first I looked at this one:
…but being of paper may cause some “No 1†issues so I would have to have something like this too:
…but I thought it would be a bit hard to hit so I decided to go for a more traditional throne, so I chose this one:
Glo, the floor in the shower and bathroom is often the same in modern bathrooms over here. It means that the entire floor has to be water sealed as if it was a biiiiig shower (the same rules applies even if the shower is separate – due to the risk for flooding). This means that we can’t have wooden floor in our bathrooms (or even wall-to-wall carpet as I have seen in Great Britain).
It can be a big advantage to have the shower as a part of the bathroom if you have a small bathroom (as I have). You can have shower doors that can be “stored†almost against the walls in the shower thus giving you a bigger space in the bathroom itself, like this:
To the right you can see that one of the doors is placed against the wall giving some more space in the bathroom. It’s even better if the shower is a true corner shower, then both doors would be possible to place against the walls.
Mary Ann, I can give you the number to my contact person at the company that did the job! I have to say I was happy with all the people that worked with the bathroom (even if the Danish guy was a bit difficult to understand :whistle
.
bOB, I’m not surprised at all…
E, that would have been something - you all would have Nordic designed bathrooms...
I did most of the design myself and I'm rather pleased with it - as I said maybe I could have had more colors on the tiles but then there is a risk that it will feel out of date in a couple of years.
