A Lizard in the Bidet

My next project
Athens 1932 - Athens 2012.

This is the austere bathroom that my Grandfather built and the one that Mrs Nikos will renovate.  I'm fed up with bathroom projects. Period.

  1. Why is it the deconstruction is always more fun and goes quicker than the reconstruction?

  2. Dear Nikos:

    What the hell is going on with all the bathrooms, loos, and watewr closets in your life?

    The bathroom depicted in this shot is nicely functional, except for the odd-looking toilet for folks with asses shaped like a figure eight.

    (Before I get slammed for being a "stupid American," I understand this is a bidet and used only for guaranteeing one's ass is clean enough for an elected official to kiss.)

    Now, the question remains, if you have pulled all of the water closets out of your respective houses, are you heading out to the little house to take a dump in the morning.

    Fondest regards,
    Jack/reep

  4. Niko's we have to renovate our bathroom and have talked about it for the last 4 years. We talk a good game, but realize how disruptive it is going to be and then we settle for complacency. I think though this year we just need to get it done. This is a project I am not looking forward to. Good luck on your renos.

  5. Ah...just say " flush it". Hehehe

    Seems we all have bathroom projects that many of us are putting off.

  6. I have a shower which is essentially ornamental. There isn't quite enough hot water pressure to make it work. I could spend a lot of money fixing it....or I could just take baths.

  7. Yeah, I'm confused too - you seem to have an unlimited supply of bathroom projects from which to choose. Your grandfather installed a bidet?? I'm curious to know if this is in UK, Greece or somewhere more 'Gallic', as no Brit has ever known what a bidet is for and especially not in your grandfather's day.

  8. Trobairitz: something to do with the primitive in us?

    Jack: That object on the left is for cleaning your underwear. I tend to dump in the afternoon if it's all the same to you.

    Roger: You pay me fare and I'll help!

    Dar: Keep talking....


    Lori: It's Silver Royal Flush year here in UK!

    HWL: Find a dedicated handyman! And then spend a lot of money fixing it.

    Gadjo: Life is but one long bathroom project and my Grandfather was an Ottoman Greek with foresight.

  9. Bidets: can they save the planet or are they just a low-level substitute for hand-basins?

    Discuss.
