I like large bathrooms. More room to move around. |

Larger than the one I have now, that's for sure. I'd love to have a really big one that I could fit a chair or stool and maybe some shelves in, and two sinks, and have a big tub up on a bit of a raised platform. Like the ones you always see in ads for faucets. It'd be nice to have one with a little more room to move around in. I wouldn't want it to have tons of extra floor space once I added my few extra things, and I wouldn't want it to be so big that it was difficult to clean. But bigger than the tiny one I have now would be great. |

Hey, I lived on a 36' boat for 3 years! It's more the arranging of what's there than the actual "head" room.
I don't care about the room size. I will adapt to anything. |

Doesn't really matter as long as it's clean and I don't have to sit "side-saddled" on the toilet like I had to in my first apartment. The bathroom was under the stairs of the next floor - I had to enter the tub from the short end and my knees were up against it when sitting on the toilet... It was cute though! |

Medium, one that I can at least turn around in. |

Did you actually have a shower? My grandparents told me of their 35' boats, their shower was a heavy duty bag, with a spigot on it, that they filled up when they docked, & showered underneath that. A GI shower, I believe he called it. |

Doesn't matter to me. I have a bathroom the size of a small bedroom outfitted with an angle shower stall and jet tub, but damn... It requires that much extra work to keep tidy. I rarely use the jet tub and find that I'm cleaning it anyways, in regards to dust and wayward hair. Remember kids, more area = more cleaning. lol |

Nope, mine was a 1941 Chris Craft and I used the marina facilities, no shower. Bernadette had a shower on her 1955 Chris, complete with "on demand" hot water. It was not stock.
It was pretty primitive on my boat, you had to hand pump to flush, just like on a submarine. I had a 40 gallon holding tank and had Rose's Head Service pump me out twice a month |

I love large bathrooms......I can not move in to a house with a small bathroom....I just need my space |
| thevelvetcure | | (reply to patarnone) posted 15-Oct-2005 8:01pm |
Sounds like their's, though I'm not sure what years or makes they were. Though I belive their form of hot water was a kettle on the stove. |

A good medium would do me just fine.. I have a small bathroom. |

I've got a tiny bathroom. I would love to have one of those huge bathrooms with a shower stall as big as my present bathroom with multiple nozzles at different levels and one of those shower massager thingies that has the metal hose on it so you can hold it and spray wherever you want on your body. I'd also want a separate tub with a built-in jacuzzi, a self-cleaning toilet and enough money to hire someone to clean the bathroom twice a week. |

My hot water was via the microwave!
I named my boat The Spirit. Lack of money is the only reason I'm not still a live aboard. I have some photos from that time on my website, bottom row, album entitled "Ratbird and The..." Ratbird was my seagull I saved and raised.

See, now you have my curiosity about Jay. In the one picture I saw, he was taking off, but I also know that birds with clipped wings can do minor flight. Did he have the full ability of flight?
My Grandparents boats were all before 1975 (or so) which for the same reason as you, they ended up buying a house, & letting go of the boat. They still have their original microwave at the house, I can't imagine that thing being on a boat, especially as it's about 1.2 cubic feet on the interior alone. It just seems theirs would be too cumbersome, & in the way. |

I like large bathrooms. I am starting a new remodeling job this next year where I am putting in a large new bathroom with a separate stand up shower and a clawfoot tub and a sink chest. I am so excited b/c my current bathroom is so tiny - it's going to be my new laundry room. I'm moving it from the basement to upstairs. No more lugging laundry down the stairs! woo-hoo!!  |

My bathrooms are large and that's the way I like them. The one in the Master bedroom I built myself and it is huge! |

Ratbird is a totally wild and free seagull. (Jay is my blue Dumbo rat) She had fallen off the roof (I was under covered moorage) and was almost drowned when I got home, heard her peeping, and rescued her. She was about the size of a small football and half-fledged. I had a large cage on the deck of the boat, and until she started to fly, that's where she lived. She got an excellent start in life with the meals I fed her. Didn't know until over a year later if it was a guy or gal gull.
Ratbird is totally free, coming back to the boat for treats. All the photos of a gull in flight are her. She's a lot bigger than other birds her age, and is probably the white of an adult by now.
I feel very privileged to have saved and given this wonderful bird a great start in life. Plus, who else has had a wild seagull for a friend? |

I never said anything about clipped wings! |

That's such a great story... I think I'm set for the day. |
| patarnone |
Thanks, it was quite a project, I had some people in the marina that thought it wonderful and some weekend boaters hated the seagulls and looked down on what I did. Go figure.
I'd buy shrimp, prawns, or crab (fresh cooked onboard as a fishing boat motored back to port) and share with Ratbird on the back of the boat. She would take food from me, but was totally shy of other people. She sure knew who her Mommy was.
I had a pet Peking duck, Pizza, when I was a kid, too... at the same time I had Pepper, my pet skunk. |

> I never said anything about clipped wings!
I know you didn't, but nor did I have the full story then either, so it was more of a question if Ratbird's wings were clipped, etc. |

I have a small bathroom here at home and some bathrooms are big' and some very small |
| bcollins | | posted 16-Oct-2005 9:10pm |
I like large bathrooms but any bathroom would be considered large compared to mine. It's a good thing I'm skinny because the shower stall is fairly narrow. |
| Zang | | posted 16-Oct-2005 9:47pm |
When it comes to rooms, large is generally preferable. Obviously there are limits, but anything too large would probably be classified as "absurdly enormous" or "freaking gigantic" rather than simply "large". |

I like small bathrooms wear I can reach everything without getting off of the toilet. |

Both my bathrooms in my house are Party Size as 1 person described them.
The bathrooms here in my apt. SMALL!. |
| cabinfever | | posted 19-Oct-2005 1:21am |
To borrow Zang's succinct phrase, I would want a "freaking gigantic" bathroom. I'm so sick of small bathrooms. I want dual sinks with an enormous mirror covering the whole damn wall above the sinks. A large linen closet. Adjustable lighting. It's own water heater. A six-foot long deep tub with a skylight and shelves around it for plants. A separate shower would be nice so I could have a multiple water-source set-up with waterfall or massage capabilities. And the toilet will have it's own closet on the opposite end of the bathroom from the sinks with a huge quiet vent fan for my hubby's stinky visits.  |

Having nothing to base what is considered large or small, I guess I will go with medium(?) I like a very large tub, and a seperate shower. A toilet with one sink basin with shelf room, but not too much, otherwise it just accumulates stuff. A tv, set away from the water, and the telephone. I have this now, except for the seperate shower, in a small bathroom. My guess it is small(?) One closet for small stuff and one closet for bigger stuff(towels) |

The bigger the better. Bathing is my therapist. |

I like LARGE bathrooms, so you can go in "a mess" and get all "done up" and come out looking like a SuperStar, from head to toe. You can't accomplish this feat too easily in a small and cramped space. |
