Downstairs bathroom

I spent a bit more time with the bathroom in the downstairs bedroom.   Here's what I came up with, from the top:

And from the side.  The sink would actually need to be built in, over the ledge.

I think maybe the wall between the tub & the toilet is too much, making the toilet a bit cramped.  Still, I think the overall idea works.

 

 

Back to the house

I have been letting the house settle in my mind.   The main change that has turned up is that it would be worth it to turn one of the rooms on the main floor back into a bedroom -- which mainly means putting in a bathroom.   Volia ...

I also reworked the bathroom on the lower floor again.

And I decided that the window in the bridge section should be moved to line up with the door & window in the upper floors, which puts it somewhat to the west.   This may need to be jiggled to avoid conflict with the shelf.   Even better would be to not need the shelf, or to have it be narrower, but that is a contractor question.

The next thing to do is to put together a powerpoint (it does have its uses) and take it to the building dept & then to an architect.

Another set of house pics

I changed the windows to a single casement, plus an awing above.  I think this is better.  It's the same number of opening panels, but has the awing to keep the rain out, plus I think it looks nicer.   The stairs hanging in space on the back porch actually go to the ground, but since it isn't shown, they look like they are in space.  Also, I have only put in the roof on the little bit of the house where the new part meets the old part, to demonstrate to myself that the new roof can slide under the old one.

I did some work on the stairs:

And also on the bathroom in the basement bedroom:

I will probably draw a powder room in the top floor of the stair tower, but aside from that, I think it is pretty close to done.
