Peek-A-Boo Bathroom
So
Never a simple job. We wanted to remove the swinging door on the 1st floor bath and replace it with a pocket door so you don't have to practically stand on the toilet to be able to close the door. But, of course, the previous owner didn't have a properly framed wall in the hallway. Rather, they just bonged up some drywall with thin aluminium braces between – so we get to redo the framing.
The next bit of fun is that the framers bought a 36” wide door – to put in a bathroom. So the door can't be put in the middle of the wall (as we wanted); it had to be placed back on the left hand side. The contractor was not happy (because he gets to eat the cost of buying the proper size door and have them redo the framing to fit that.
And once again the house gets a lot smaller to make it a little bigger. First floor is down to the living room and dinning room as the only rooms without zip-barriers in them.
