What's this obsession with bathrooms ? I
look at adverts for new houses and see that
a lot of them have more bathrooms than bed-
rooms now, and a lot more match one-for-one.
Why ? They take up space, they all have to
be cleaned, painted, etc. What's the attraction ?

I'm guessing you don't have a wife and two daughters. :-)

I'm actually with you on the new homes; SWMBO and I go to some of
the new home "shows" in Austin, and they all seem to have at least a 1:1
(if not higher) ratio. In these homes, I guess it's not a big deal, as
they probably just have the servants clean them. :-} And if you have
that kind of money, I reckon it's handy to have one within a couple of
feet in case you get a sudden, uncontrollable urge.

more money than common sense, and the home shows just reinforce that)
