I'm a self-employed contractor and this was the biggest job I've done so far. I guess this still counts as DIY since I did it all by myself? (except for the electric)

God I love European style bathrooms. Why can't we have floor drains in our bathrooms here in the US?

The thought of stepping barefoot on a surface where a toilet may have overflowed is too much for me. More power to you of that's your preference though.

The good thing about having a drain in the floor is that in the extremely rare event that your toilet overflows you can just hose down the entire room.

You wouldn't shower wearing sandals in your own bathroom would you?
