Last night Ryan and I were slaving away trying to get everything out of the rooms, trim taken down, doors taken down, etc, etc to get ready for our flooring to be put in this Wednesday. We have a big mud sink in our mudroom and it's only used as a place to lay junk rolleyes.gif so we were thinking of putting a regular smaller bar sink there and a cabinet as it would get better use. So Ryan took the mud sink down, not only so they could tile the floor there, but because there is no use in putting it back up if someday (hopefully sooner rather than later happy.gif ) we'll put something else there. He then put the mud sink in the garage for now.

This morning we were in the garage talking and he said "Can I just hang that up on the wall and use it as a urinal?". laugh.gif rolleyes.gif I know he was joking, but I almost bet if he could have a urinal in his garage he would. Although we live in the country - our land is his "urinal" most of the time. rolleyes.gif rolling_smile.gif

rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif I know how you feel. My dh and all his buddies have a joke that the bathroom is 3 steps to left behind the garage. I am serious. They never use the bathroom inside unless its for something else. If they come inside we know not to go in there for 30min or so.

the bad part is 3 steps to left behind the garage is the black berry bushes. I REFUSE to eat anything off of them. rolling_smile.gif I want them cut down anyways.

As long as there is a drain in the garage that would be a great idea, it is not fun trying to pee outside in the middle of winter in the dark ya know.

My brother-in-law owns his own plumbing company, so he got a good deal on a urinal. He has a large, four-car garage and is always working outside doing something or another, so he put the urinal in it. He hid it behind a couple privacy panels, so it isn't really visible. I thought it was pretty smart, since it keeps him from having to go inside when he's dirty. I was inspired, so I've mentioned to my wife that I should put a floor drain in front of my chair in the living room. I could then put a beer fridge next to me, and I'd never have to get up.

don't forget a little portable grill

I say just make a little hatch in your lazyboy that goes to a floor drain with a septic and everything. thumb.gif

Remember that song "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" by Jim Croce?

"And they say you don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim."

Make sure you're up-wind because peeing into the wind is narstier than spitting into it rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif

Due to building code restrictions, I've opted to get a large jug and a bell. When the jug is full, I'll ring the bell and she can come and empty it. I'll be putting an exhaust fan in the roof, to vent the grill that Troy suggested.

no law saying your man cave has to be the basement...set up camp right in the living room. thumb.gif

I will look at the exhaust fan when I come there for your funeral, after your wife kills you laugh.gif
