This old thread got revisited. @dani_m08 to answer the question about extra probe, I believe I ordered an extra one when I bought the set up. The probe wire is just setting in the junction box I think but honestly I cant remember. When I laid out the underfloor heating and the probe, I just ran another probe near the first probe, and it was then sealed into the floor self leveling compound as per instructions. then the end was just threaded into the wall like the one that would be live, and not connected, but just laying there in the box. Regarding the tile layout. I just decided to run it this way, after getting instructions on the 90Degree way, IIRC. The herringbone that I love is from my childhood and the side walks in my neighborhood that all ran at 45Degree. so that to me is herringbone. I know you posted on @sochi thread about her amazing bathroom and a wall mounted faucet. I would totally do it if I had the right sink for it. In my case I had made my sink out of soapstone and an integrated backsplash. The pictures of this bathroom reveal are no longer available because of the use of photo bucket, when it was Gardenweb. I did not keep my account with photo bucket. I'll add some of the reveal pictures so you can see the sink and floor. Regarding the sink there is no ledge for water to drip from my hands when using the faucet. The water drips right into the sink. In my other bathroom with a deck mounted faucet I am always wiping up drips and it is a nuisance. I much prefer the setup for this sink. Below: I love the flush finish from the faucet to the bottom of the sink. nothing drips on a counter or edge of a sink. Below: looking in from the doorway. Below: Here I am finishing up the sink. the backsplash was epoxied on as a separate piece. The whole soapstone install in the room took next to nothing to buy as they were all small pieces that I epoxied together with a 3 part stone epoxy. Below: this is the counter at the tub, and is in 2 long pieces but I was able to epoxy them together at there edges to make a wide slab for the top. All the soapstone was finished with a 60 grit sandpaper to be rough and this lovely soft tone of blue/green/gray/white. I did not oil it so this color tone would remain light. Below: If I recall correctly @sochi helped me decide on this Hubberton Forge Mirror. I have 3 different metals in this room, but they are all a cool silver to black color. Below: the center of this tower shares space with the kitchen on the other side of the wall. there is also some extra space that houses some electrical wiring. this is an old simple house. this bathroom was an add on when it got move to the farm in the 30s IIRC. The plumbing was all rearrange and some of the details that were orignially there I kept but updated it, such as this tower feature. The old one went and the carpenter did a wonderful job with this one. Below: This feature was another thing I kept from the old bathroom but flipped it from the other end and had the carpenter put drawers in it. Before it was a hell hole. things got lost and the build was soooo old and creapy I didn't like using it for storage. Now it is perfect for storage.

Pocket door for sure, is this the only bathroom in the house? I would never have a bathroom with 2 access points so if the only bathroom I would close off the bedroom access and live with the fact there is no ensuite . If this is an ensuite close off the hall entry .Then your layout looks fine. Good lighting is the next thing to address and I like lots of good lighting in a bathroom that includes over head pots and a couple of over the mirror Halogen 150 watt or the equivilant LED fixtures the pots on one switch the over the mirrors on another.This is one of my favorite fixtures for above mirror it is called Oxygen halogen is very afforadable and I think Lowes carries it in the US.I like your idea of the dark floor and shower floor just remember the shower tile needs to be smaller than the floor tile so make sure the tile you choose comes in the 2 sizes.I love the inspiration pic.

You were all so helpful with your comments, I wanted to let you know the outcome of my smelly bathroom. . . It took three different plumbers and a camera to finally determine that we were getting a smell from the shower drain because there was not a properly installed p-trap for the shower. This was particularly surprising since the shower was done by a well known and reputable contractor who came highly recommended and the bathroom was done with permits so the city inspector signed off on the bathroom. I sent the original contractor (from 3.5 years ago) the video from the camera guy and they came out, opened up the ceiling on the first floor and inserted the p-trap. And now the smell is gone.

Btw, I searched for relevant codes and found the following: R304.1 Minimum area. Every dwelling unit shall have at least one habitable room that shall have not less than 120 square feet (11 m2) of gross floor area. R304.2 Other rooms. Other habitable rooms shall have a floor area of not less than 70 square feet (6.5 m2). Exception: Kitchens. It also states: In typical houses, all living, sleeping, eating or cooking areas qualify as habitable spaces. Bathrooms, toilet rooms, closets, halls, storage or utility spaces aren’t defined as habitable, for any dwelling. But anyway you slice it, even with the remodeled floorplan the upstairs certainly meets the minimum requirements. The master bedroom is a little over 120 sq ft, and the second bedroom is over 70 sq ft (approx 90 sq ft). Even if the master bedroom didn't quite meet 120 sq ft, other habital areas such as the downstairs living room is well over 120 sq ft, so it'd just need to exceed 70 sq ft, which it certainly does. The only codes I could find regarding bathrooms were ceiling height (which wouldn't be an issue) and minimum distances between toilet, sink, shower and tub: A minimum space of 21 inches must be planned in front of lavatory, toilet, bidet, and tub. A minimum space of 24 inches must be planned in front of a shower entry. The minimum distance from the centerline of the lavatory to a wall is 15 inches. The minimum distance between a wall and the edge of a freestanding or wall-hung lavatory is 4 inches. The minimum interior shower size is 30x30 inches or 900 square inches, in which a disc 30 inches in diameter must fit. A minimum distance of 15 inches is required from the centerline of a toilet and/or bidet to any bath fixture, wall, or other obstacle. I don't see a problem with meeting any of these (depending on size of tub or shower, toilet, sink, etc.), which is why the plumbing issue seems to be the sticking point to me.
