Default Bathroom vanity light height/ new install

I'd like to rant here... Why are so many mirrors mounted so low that
a tall person can't see their face? Plus, why are master-bedroom
sinks installed so low? I have to break my back every morning just to
wash my face, and I'm only 6 feet tall.


They make taller ones now, I think they are called luxury
height, something like that. Maybe you could change yours.
I hate to hear you're breaking your back like that. Heh.

Chuckle. Because women usually pick the house, and they tend to run shorter?
When I rewired the bath in this place, I had to pull the surface-mount
cabinet/mirror/light to get to the botched up feed wire. Needless to say, I
remounted it a almost a foot higher than I found it. When I bought the
place, top of mirror was at neck level for me. I'd like vanity about six
inches taller, too, but raising that would have cost money. If I ever gut
the bathroom, I will find some way to do a taller one. Mebbe vanities should
be like airport drinking fountains- a tall and a short, side by side.

aem sends....
