Following on from HUPS post, OK so we've all got 3x2, 4x2, yadda yadda houses in Straya. Thats 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. (One will be an ensuite).

Now, how did you all go about deciding which dunny to use. For me it is quite a novelty not only to have a toilet in the ensuite, but furthermore, to have another one, similar in operation, down the corridor.

Did you "take it in turns", or do you just go to the one nearest? How long did it take for you to have to remember the paper was in the other one and not have to wiggle down the corridor to get paper?

Buy more paper - that should solve the problem!

It really p*sses me off if Hevs or the kids use our ensuite and don't shut the door. Nothing worse than walking into the bedroom and being nasally assaulted by dump smells.

ABCDiamond

Yes there is ! We've got one right by my study, and I agree; Children should learn to shut the damn door

cadman

Can't you get that odour remover/air freshener stuff over there then?

Here in the UK we have a wc downstairs and one upstairs (bathroom doesn't have a bog). I use the downstairs one usually cos a. it's nearer and b. the kids use the upstairs one at night and p*ss on the seat! not nice when you park you ass on it in the dark!

I feel inferior now cos we've only got one.

We only had one toilet too until recently (in both UK and old Melbourne house). Less cleaning, anyway!

Cadman, House rule in the Uk is no dumping in the downstairs toilet. WOuld be too embarrassing if a friend popped in and then wanted to use the toilet...

ANyway Badge, you say you have two toilets "similar in operation" ....what I would like to know is, what does toilet A do that toilet B doesn't

Badge

We have two, but I couldn't say with any accuracy if they were exactly the same.

We only had one in our first rental. Couldn't keep our heads up in the street.

We've actually got two.... but one is outside!!
I'm serious!
We've got a dunny, even though we live in the middle of Perth!(like 4 km's from CBD).
Ok, it is attached to the house.... but, it has a wooden door etc etc.
We never use it though! Have one inside, and the one outside is quite dirty/spiders etc, so we've put gardens stuff and empty boxes in it!

Anyway, that shows how old our house is!

Ohhh, maybe I have a photo......
yes, in photo post:

The door is open (behind the bike)

cadman

Worse still, unless you are talking loudly or have the TV on loud, you can hear people on the downstairs one from the living room or the kitchen ! how's that for embarassing !

I was hoping for an old rickety shed, with an old warped wooden panel door and maybe the walls a bit buckled and stuff.

It looks quite proper, I have friends in the UK who have an outside toilet like that, its part of their laundry room which is also outside.

Anyone got a real old fashioned aussie dunny picture?

Cheers,

Simone

Thanks Louise. It's quite 'cute' and has character, and a great location and big garden.
But, it is a bit small(wouldn't fit if we have kids), and the bathroom and kitchen are a bit old(and small).


Yeah, the dunny's allright. Our shed is worse, it's asbestos(the roof at least).


We had a dunny in our old house in Bridgetown too(10 years ago). It was older, though it was still a proper working dunny, unlike the holes you get in National parks here arghhhh!!!!
I'll put the pic in photopost.
