I ...Hey guys, glad to see you're reading the blog. <BR/><BR/>I do like bigger bathrooms, but I've had a hard time finding room. If I moved the south bedroom wall north 1', I need to move the outside door in the bedroom 3'6" because it's currently to one side of the center post in the west wallh. The other bedroom door at the top of the stairs can only move a bit. I could make more room if I took one stair from the second leg and added it to the first. All this makes room for a 48" cabinet, which can have two sinks but leaves little room for counter top space, which is more important to me than "his and hers" sinks. Where we live now has a 60" cabinet with two sinks, which is pretty nice but we could live without it. If we increased the whole house footprint to 28' from 26', we'd have the extra foot. In fact, I want that space for other areas, like the kitchen. However, it means bigger or more floor joists if we go with radiant heat. So many things to consider!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240760982388663152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808854753003912574.post-34452812295445407522007-02-12T18:41:00.000-08:002007-02-12T18:41:00.000-08:00Barry suggests putting in a second sink and making...Barry suggests putting in a second sink and making the bathroom bigger for the master bedroom.

This is going to be fun. <BR/>I think that you have put a lot of hard work into the plans and they are very nice. I like the fact that you guys put in a mud room. Good idea for the norhtern home. Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to the pics and progress reports.Deb and Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129666634176555677noreply@blogger.com
