My liberal boss just replaced his old 3.5 gallon toilets with new ones because of a wife directed bathroom remodeling. He was glad the plumber agreed to dispose of the old toilets for free and I laughed at him saying "he's probably getting at least a couple hundred bucks a piece for them on the black market".
Our bathroom remodelling occurred before we bought the house. Also wife-directed. Tacky. The real estate agent called it "the orgy bathroom". It didn't break the deal, but we sure did laugh about it a lot. You could stand up four couples for a country dance in the place.
Don't know if the remodelling led to the divorce that put the house on the market, or not . . . .
