Thread: Every garage should have a bathroom

Tweet

I finally went to the garage after what seems like a long time, turned the lights on, got the furnace turned up, put the Nova on the lift. I had to pee made the mistake of coming in the house. The Deer pee in the woods so I should be able too also since I pay for the place. With DSL the computer is always on so I just have to check it out, now it will be hard to get back to the garage. Bathroom, or high speed Internet in the garage, I think the high speed would be cheaper.

Just drill a hole in a bucket and put a hose through it then drilla hole in the wall leading outside, then make a braket on the wall for the bucket to sit on. Now you have a bathroom in the garage cheaper than the internet.

I live in a university town where the local builidng department won't let you have a bathroom in the garage for fear that it will get rented to students.

I tired to sneak the plumbing in the floor when I put on the addition but the inspector caught it and made me remove the piping. He wasn't very happy with me.

Good idea with the bucket.

If I had it to do all over again I would make sure I had a bathroom, living in the country I can get by with more then people in town. When I had my garage built I had two 4’’ pipes set in the floor, one for incoming water and one for the septic system I had planed on a shower but that didn’t happen. Now 13 years have gone by, time goes by fast. It's hell to get old 61 I got pee again! Then I'm going back to the garage.

Our shop has a bathroom, but it isn't kept up real well. We wash our hands in the sink with Go jo and it splatters all over the place, along with grease. Every once in a while a friend of Don's comes over and brings his wife, and of course, she has to use the bathroom. We warn her, but when you gotta go you gotta go. It was pretty embarassing to say the least.

So last week while Dan was working on his car I made it my goal to scrub the whole place down, walls, floor, sink, etc. Even organized the magazine rack full of hot rod magazines. Now we are ready for company.

looks like there my be a potencial man-card violation in the making

I really wish I had a bathroom in my detached garage as well. It seems like everytime I finally break free from all of the other stuff I have going on and actually make it out there to do something.....just as I get started....I suddenly have to go to the bathroom... I'm not talking about taking a leak here... ....so, while I truly appreciate the ingenuity of the idea and agree with it in concept, unfortunately, a Folgers can just really doesn't seem like an option....

Yep, I even put out some of those little smelly soaps and fresh flowers. Am I a sensitive man, or what???????????

Ed Mabry's shop has a toilet. Small, but with the necessary commode and wash basin.

I hope Ed won't be upset with me when I say that it ain't exactly spotlessly clean.

There is a towel rack beside the basin with an old terry-cloth towel that probably won't pass much of a cleanliness inspection. There is a sign over the basin reading:

NOTICE - DO NOT DRY FACE WITH THE END OF THE TOWEL MARKED "A"

No problem here!

Folger can ? I thought the drain in the middle of the floor was good enough, just got to run water to clean the drain.

Yeah but then you gotta empty it.... or you'll quickly have a new found appreciation of the phrase....."trying to squeeze a 100 lbs. of $#!+ into a 10 lb. bucket"....

5 gallon bucket does the number one job! Need to get a citrus tree to dump it on. They really do like to be peed on according to my New Zealand Kiwi friends. Watch "Worlds Fastest Indian"! He does it as well. I know, TMI, its time for an Uncle Bob old woman photo! Just kidding Bob!

Don you are truely a gentleman. How long do you think the cleanup will last?
My wife said to me what is that bucket for? I said, don't ask and please don't tip it over!

When I built,had sense enough to put in a bathroom with toilet and a good sized "utilitub" fiberglass sink. (It's big enough to wash parts in). Also set it up so I have hot water for the pressure washer or just washing a car in the winter. Keeps peace in the family, 'cause I'm not trackin' up the house.
