Wasn't there a thread of bathrooms?

Trying to decide how I want to finish mine. Don't want steel or drywall unless I do some form of wainscoting Something cleanable.

Anyone have pics?

I think there has been a few bathroom threads but not a "show your garage bathroom thread" but of course, I may be wrong.

Mine is drywall but I'd consider maybe using some FRP panels.

Mine isn't a showroom or a meeting place, it is where I relieve myself when working.
I just sheet-rocked, primed and painted with semi gloss paint, like the rest of the shop.

IDK a thread showing a bunch of pictures of funnels with hoses attached, zip tied in the corner of the garage sounds boring. lol

I am in the process of finishing mine, so I'm interested as well. Going now to start the "show your garage bathroom" thread...

If I had the room for one then I'd tile it in cheap black and white 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 tiles in a chequerboard pattern to half height and then paint above. Easy to keep clean and hygienic.

I've got a urinal in the corner emptying outside. The Mrs. sewed a curtain that hangs on a piece of bent sc40 for some privacy and some 12x12 ceramic tiles in the "splash zone" that a neighbour had left over.

We have a guy coming in to dig a waterline to the shop this year if the frost ever goes away for it and the salvage sink but for now we flush using a 5 gal water jug.

Strictly no-frills.

How about a large tin can sitting on a cross member in my shop? Whiz in it and toss it out the side door that no one uses... Just replace the can every so often... LOL...

I have a conventional bathroom and a urinal stall behind a privacy sheet on the shop floor, cant see it unless you know. There is laundry tub sink. We don't need to do any greasy wash up in the conventional bathroom and dont have to use it as a urinal. It doesn't keep it spotless but doesn't degenerate in to a dump quickly either.

As a matter of fact I lived in my building for years and have apt above my office as of yet and still have an executive bathroom,,, ha,,, but it keeps more load off of the public version from my office. A shower in the shop I can do without but like a urinal as well as a stool.

OK, I'll just poop in a bucket.

I'm sure someone will be along to tell me to check local code to make sure I get the proper bucket.

A little over the top for a shop bathroom but the wife was tired of hunkering down behind the shop and spraying her ankles...........gives us a place to sleep off a few adult beverages as well, seeing as the shop is about 6 miles from the current house.

I live in the country. The only neighbors I have are cows. When I want to pee, I just open the door and go, or I walk about 150ft to the house and use the bathroom. No big deal..... yet I still want a bathroom!

At some point I want a fully functional bathroom with a shower. It would be great to be able to clean up before heading in the house.

You can get those white or beige pebble finish panel like they use in commercial kitchens to make splash cleanup easier.
Or go to a tile store and find their oddball pile. Buy enough to blend together or do each wall in different tile. Place by me charges $1 sq ft.

I like your set up. Could you give the dimensions from the left side of the door to the wall behind the stool and then the width of the bathroom? I don't need the shower part but the other would make an ideal layout.

I am putting a shower and toilet side by side under my stairs.
My wife is tired of me bringing dust in the house or smelling like gas, oil, etc.
