We installed the higher toilets in our renovation inside the house. The shop bath, which is accessible for those outside since we live on a lake, is a standard height. All our older friends like the taller seats.

After discussing this thread with hubby last night. We decided against a Bidet and look for a "nicer throne" than the least expensive one already in the master bath. We are doing a cedar lined closet on two walls and sealing them really well (I am allergic to cedar). And as for the counter tops we want to replace those and keep the cabinets since the are really nice looking.
In the master bedroom, hubby wants to have our son re-tape some spots where the drywall people did a poor job, we can see the seams and along the edge of the ceiling where it meets the wall nail "shiners" can be seen. "Shiners" are where the nail shows through where two pieces of material (wood mainly). My husband was a Contractor before he retired and notices things like this. Kinda like me an upholstered furniture, I can spot flaws in the work.
Oh, and carpeting with memory foam padding......its heaven to walk on.

years ago our neighbor installed his own version of a urinal in the living room near the easy chair for the old man across the street. It was VERY inexpensive.... He drilled a hole in the floor and ran a hose to the basement drain. On the top end he had a big funnel stuck in said hose held up by hose clamps duct tape and a cup hook.

I've used bidets in Europe and used a Toto seat bidet at a restaurant. Maybe you could find a restaurant near you so you could try it. I was really impressed by how well it worked and how comfortable it was. When I update my bathroom, I'm going to put in one of those. Really helpful for many obvious reasons.
