Homemade/engineered bidets.
3 of them. One in every bathroom. Not sure if that thing (its not a microphone) is for pressure or ???
Our agent had never seen THIS before.

(9,978 posts)We recently installed a retrofit bidet here. A cold water retrofit is ~ $35, MUCH neater without the "steampunk" plumbing. We did a hot/cold water one, no plumber required, on a standard "ADA" height toilet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JG3NVG2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Of course getting it adjusted just right would be important.
