No, and I don't like them to begin with. I don't enjoy the piss-splater that sometimes gets on your pants when using them.

I have a urinal in my garage.
Hot & Cold water "Utility Sink" will be installed this spring.
The layout of my house is such that in order to go to either of the 2 bathrooms from my garage requires about the same number of steps, and that is several. It seems that no matter which bathroom I go to, the wife is either using it or cleaning it!
The garage is my hangout anyway, and from my office, it's the closest!

Having to lift the stupid seat every time i want to wee, is just gross and annoying. Why cant women put the seat up? all they have to do to put it down is nudge it a little, and gravity does the rest. It's just not fair.

I'm having a trough installed so it can be just like going to Wrigley field.

Yes. This would help guys everywhere...no more nagging from girls about putting the seat down when we're finished.

well, considering you'd need a regular toilet anyway, why bother with an extra device to take up space and clean?

How much do they cost? Does anyone have a picture of a urinal installed in a residential house?

Pics?

See, that'd be my ideal bathroom/kitchen - tile with a drain in the middle so you could just push all the water into it like in a commercial bathroom or kitchen. This has also been a dream of mine - urinals in the house. The New York Times actually just had an article on this; you have to register (free) to read it:

When I have my dome house built, I will have one. I'll have to make a trade-off with the woman and let her have something I don't want, but I'll survive :p

Dude across the street from my complex has one in his backyard. It looks pretty slick. Big concrete dome home. My wife was like, we should get one of those as a guest house when we build our home. Awesome :D

urinals remind me of public bathrooms, and public bathrooms remind me of not liking to use them
