Two-week review: Bathroom

Bathroom
  •          The bathroom/shower is great! It has a textured floor which makes it adequately non-slip for us, and we don’t think we’ll be needing any sort of floor mat in there. We wipe the entire bathroom out with a chamois after showering.
  •          The six gallons in the hot water tank have been enough for our group of three adults to each shower, with enough warm water left for doing breakfast dishes ten hours later. We each stretch the hot water for showers by putting some hot water into the bathroom sink, having a sink bath, and then using the shower head for shampooing and rinsing. It works really well.
  •           The toilet is a great comfort, especially in the middle of the night.
  •           One time we didn't fill our water tank sufficiently, ran out of tank water for all purposes, including flushing, and we then learned how to flush the toilet by pouring water in the bowl from an orange juice jug filled with water. This episode also had us warming water on the kitchen stove and taking sink baths by pouring that water into the bathroom sink. It all felt quite luxurious compared to having no bathroom whatsoever. 
  •       It would be nicer if the shower floor sloped to the drain.
