Well... back again? Did "the other thing work out" for you? Yes... a lot has happened in the past few weeks. Unfortunately, the other thing is not progressing.
However, we spontaneously got married.

Have you ever seen a T-shaped bathroom in real life? It might sound practical, but it’s actually one of the modern building mistakes. Why?

Why?A shower located in a maze might be cool for a three-year-old just once – the novelty quickly wears off.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Why?You deliberately make a large space (which is actually necessary) small, dark, and cramped. This might work in a special property with a truly very large bathroom – but in a newly built 160 m² (1,722 sq ft) single-family house or a 180 m² (1,938 sq ft) "town villa" in a new development area, it’s more of a case of wanting without having the capability.
