The truth has not changed over the centuries, good advise on how to live your life. Hemingway made me laugh, he was a bit of an expert on that aspect.

***"Previously I found a sticking fuel float. I addressed that and the leaking fuel stopped."** OK, that's good! But don't be obstinate like some people who have posted such rebuttals as "Don't need a shutoff if the float works right.) In a perfect world that argument might be the end of the story and the sun shines down and all is good etc. But it ain't a perfect world and "I have gas in my oil" is one of the most frequent complaints on this forum. Once upon a time...........all OPE engines came from the OEM with a fuel cock in the tank, or mounted remotely and everybody (almost everybody) knew you had to cut the valve on (and off) to operate the equipment correctly. Price point manufacturing and the quest for "dumb down" features has eliminated the standard fuel cutoff from most machines now. Much to the chagrin of owners everywhere when the undependable float system drowns their engine. The ONLY way to know for sure is to install an inline valve and learn to use it whenever the engine is not running. Put the valve between the tank and the fuel filter to make it cleaner/easier to change out the filter when due.

My apologies. I read it as 6'6", and calculated as 66"..duh. I agree you could put in a make-up vanity here, but sitting at it may be tight though. Could you move the make-up vanity to the shower end? This would put a sink closer to the toilet, for hand washing, freeing wall space for hanging towels and give room behind the vanity seating. With the toilet gone at the end of the shower, you could put a storage cabinet in it's place. Just be aware that moving the toilet is very involved and expensive. A new waste line has to be run down and a new vent line has to be run up through the roof. Then both of the old ones must be removed and holes repaired. Water shouldn't be a problem, since it's on the same wall as the removed tub. It's just a matter of rerouting it in the wall to the toilet location.

The current New Yorker magazine has an ad for Chelsea Clinton's book for girls. I think the title applies to Lisa. It's called "She Persisted".
