Floorplan Re-Design

Yes, I am still working on this bathroom project.  After almost a full year of gathering materials and planning the project, it is now time to start working.  I am almost ready to submit my application for a building permit.

As I put the project plans on paper, I decided to set some of the actual pieces in place to get a better idea of the layout.  Since I am not an architect, what looks good on paper doesn't translate well to an accurate mental picture of the finished project.  My suspicions were correct.  My original floorplan was much too small. 

I know what you are thinking.  I should have done this much earlier!  However, it required moving one of the framed walls.  It was a no-going-back-now moment!  So in order to relieve the ultra-cramped space, I decided to move the wall further out and turn the shower ninety degrees.  This will create more space for a person going into and coming out of the shower.

The only problem is that now I need more tile to cover the floor and more drywall to cover the walls and ceiling!  Oh well, it is time to move forward!

Having said that- here is the revised floorplan:

For reference, here is the previous version.  Notice that space in front of the shower.  I now know that 3 feet is not enough space!
