(3,336 posts)Wife and I both would like a bidet but she will not let me get a urinal. Why not?? I would use and enjoy it everyday. She says "nobody will buy the house if it has one." I'm I just ahead of the curve or out of my tree? Any tips or suggestion?

(706 posts)Your wife is correct.
Your target market will shrink to single ex-frat boys.
Or single illegal home growers of copious amounts of cannabis.
Not making any of this up.
But you do you, dude.

Thank you!

(706 posts)Set it up with a zinc bar and a steam-punk style half-bath with a funky composting urinal. Have fun with that. Justify the urinal in the tiny tap room by saying you won't need to keep running into the house as you work your way through growlers.
I speak "guy" sometimes, too.

(3,336 posts)HOA says no way on any shed/tiny house but maybe an add on to the garage would pass the test.

(706 posts)Yes, try the garage build-out thing. Think: Speakeasy.
eBay has vintage speakeasy grills for sale. (Yup, I have one from a Chicago joint.)
Plant tall shrubs that grow quickly and can be trimmed and shaped to hide an outside entrance.
A 2nd level on your garage works, too. Hide it in the eaves. Think: Mansard roof -- the roof that's an actual 2nd floor.
Geez, your HOA would never let me live there.

(13,975 posts)I don't have a penis and I'm genuinely curious why a urinal is better/easier/more convenient than a toilet in your home. Is it higher? Is the opening bigger?

(3,336 posts)I hate turning on the lights in the middle of the night to make sure my aim is true. The lights wake me up and I am not a great sleeper. Yes I could just sit on it but that adds extra steps. I just want to urinate and return to the bed with no muss and no fuss. It's seems practical to me but most women are horrified by the notion. My guy friends just laugh at me which is par for the course. The right tool for the job and all that jazzy.

(28,657 posts)....mostly by the male members of the family? Enlightening, so to speak.
Is this a passion, or an obsession? Seems a little pervy.

(17,016 posts)I knew of a few substances that glow under UV, now I see that urine is one of them. I have noticed that the male members tend to be troublemakers.
As far as the pervy aspect, I didn't see it that way. He's a plumber that likes to collect old fixtures. I tend to view it as similar to an electronics tech. that collects old radios. I have been wrong before, though.
