Is a second shower bath sensible?

Oh guys ^^ an additional third bathroom already costs a lot of money. Sure, with 2 kids and houses over 150sqm (people who actually have the money) you can do that. In areas where 2k net income is already upper class, that just doesn’t work. I would have liked a brick garage too, but that wasn’t included. And a basement? lol, NOBODY here has one, not even the rich folks who probably paid for the house out of their daily money savings account.

So - with_without_money... it's not gone, it just belongs to someone else.

Apart from that: Back then, everyone advised me against turning the guest bathroom into a complete shower bath. Yes - it cost more money. Sure, with_without shower is cheaper. It came at the expense of the size of the utility room - but I packed everything nicely in there and there was still space left for the photovoltaic/inverter/etc. (by now there is no more space, that stuff hangs on the wall). So everything is possible if you want to.

Back then I said: And a complete bath will go in there. Like Schröder: Basta. Done. Spent.

Honestly, it has proven itself hundreds of times in not quite two years. Whether with guests or for us, we use both bathrooms almost equally. An investment that paid off. We don’t need a third bathroom, as we are childless. If we had children - yes, a third bathroom would be necessary. Reason: morning grumpiness of the homeowner... haha. I need my peace there. In the morning I only talk to my coffee and my newspaper, I’m particular about that. That’s how it is... I’m open about it. Blood pressure low, in the morning around 85/90 / 50-55 with a pulse of 50-55. Terror in the bathroom in the morning, hordes of people (meaning more than one person in the bathroom, which I myself am) ruin my good mood for the whole day.

Our guest bathroom is quite small - but even my brother-in-law, a trained, very broad-shouldered and heavy man, has more than enough room there easily. And that says something.

Definitely install as many showers as the family deems necessary. It’s worth it!

Best regards,
Thorsten

You’re buying yourself – just like with the rest of the house – hopefully a piece of quality of life. That’s how we saw it anyway. If you can’t account for it in that way, building a house usually isn’t worth it.


May I join the fancy party???
But could you maybe lend me some money? I’ve concreted mine into the foundations – guaranteed theft-proof
