Mjlb: Yes! One bath could be accessible from hall. If you have ideas, I would love to hear them. I should have added I planned to eliminate entrance to Master closet from hall anyways. That's just weird to begin with. I really want my daughter (who will be the oldest child) to have her own bath, which is why I wanted to do the en-suite baths. In regards to thinking in 3D, trust me, I have....or trying to anyways. I have a program I use (not a professional but it helps with the visualization.) The bumping out is actually creating a larger family room below, which is why I want to do it, not just to create a larger Master. Plan has two fireplaces. Both are listed as optional, so I have so wiggle room there as well. This is a stock plan, Unfortunately a truly custom plan is not in the budget. I love so many aspects of this plan, especially the exterior.

Ok I'll play. Is this about keeping traffic out of the kitchen? Because I think you just moved the kitchen away from the views. It is ok, preferable for TV watching rooms to be dark, did you just put the tv in direct sun? Where do you spend most of your time, where does DH, when you entertain what kind of entertaining and where in your house does it occur. I would not like carrying groceries that far. I know that you have a designated entry way, but I feel stuff is now going to get dumped in the LR and that might bug me more. We grill a lot I hate carrying food through the house to the deck, you have created that situation. Since you said all cards are on the table, have you ever tried a galley against the wall where you have the woodstove now? Stove against the stairs, sink across. Keep a peripheral walkway open, but it could still have storage.

I think I like the yellow cabinet centered on the wall, and no shelves. that has a nice, open look. that yellow cabinet will be really nice. amazing... a left-handed family! :) did you choose a sink size yet? how are you feeling about the rest of the layout? maybe you'll have to have a kitchen rule that dirty dishes can only go on top of the dishwasher or in the sink... not in any prep area! lascatx pointed out (in the other thread) that then you have two potential prep areas on either side of the range. my kitchen has two prep "spaces" so hopefully dh and i won't be in each other's way. i am going to attempt to have dirty dishes only "allowed" over the dishwasher, too. good in theory, at least! ;) i hope you're feeling good about the layout now.

With the old meters that use the rotating wheel, it is highly unlikely that the meter will register greater than actual use. It can register less than actual use. The modern digital meters-who knows? Does your bill show a meter number as well as the account number. Do all the bills have the same meter number? Have you compared the reading shown on the bill to that shown on the meter by reading the meter yourself? ? Have you checked to see if your meter number is the same shown on the bill? And the earlier question about the electric water heater is unanswered. Did you have your water heater repaired or replaced?

Sorry, no can do. And two people couldn’t be in there at the same time now. Certainly not with more fixtures in there.

If you can change the location of everything ... then move the bathroom into a bigger house that has the space to change the size of the bathroom!!

Sure, make the vanity a few inches bigger and cram in 2 sinks. What does that get you?

I would offset the one sink to the left and then do drawers on the right side. Add a nice recessed medicine cabinet (Robern makes nice ones) and you have lots of storage, which will be much more useful than 2 sinks.

Reclaim the blocked off void to the right of the bathtub. Something like this:

There is so little to work with here. Can you show the surrounding spaces, maybe there is a way to expand the bathroom? What did your architect say?

You can't put ten pounds of you know what in a five pound bag and you can't add a double sink to a room that is too small to handle one. The reason your architect put in a single sink was because that's all that can fit in the room.

What is the obsession with double sinks? You don't use that fixture for a long peiod of time and you would give up super valuable counter space for getting ready.
