Ok i don’t think this is too bad. It’s in a room after all… going into this post i expected it out in the open.

*Toilet in the bathroom next to the kitchen

That’s just a half bath with the door open. This is a normal thing. Unless you grew up rich I guess?

This is common in old houses. I don’t know if that’s the case here. Houses built before indoor plumbing would be upgraded, the kitchen would get water, and a new bathroom would be built next to the kitchen where the new plumbing was. There would be no water or other bathroom in the entire house.

My grandparent’s house was built like this, they still had the old water hand pump in the front yard, and they had an outhouse until the plumbing was upgraded.

You ever try lugging a toilet up a flight of stairs?

I grew up in a house with a bathroom right off the kitchen. It wasn’t a big deal.

I have a half bathroom about this far from the kitchen in my house. What’s wrong with this?
