Talking about remolding a bathroom, I just made a major upgrade to ours.
When I told my son about my upgrade he laughed, asking me if I lived in the dark ages.
Even in my own bathroom, I hate touching the toilet seat even though Robin keeps the bathroom spic and span and our asses are the only ones sitting on it 99% of the time. When I put the seat down I do it with one finger and it slams down every time. If the wife is in ear shot of the seat crashing down on the toilet I catch a little grief.
PROBLEM RESOLVED
While on vacation this past winter, our toilet seat closed like I've never seen one close before. Touch it with one finger, heading it in the right direction, down, and the dam thing closed slowly, very slowly. As it made contact with the toilet, not a sound was to be heard.
Needless to say, I wasn't home for more than a week and presto. we had one of those magic toilet seats.
Ya I know, I get all excited over the little things, it's like a whole new farm.
Thanks for the update on your travels. Good luck looking for a place back here in the states. It sounds like Pura is on a mission.

Slam!
