First, one comment on your plan...instead of having the sink centered on the countertop, I'd slide the sink to the left for added headroom. Secondly, you're still missing one aspect of code, and that's the minimum ceiling height for the room. A minimum of 50% of the floor space must have a ceiling height higher than 7' tall. Your ceiling hits 7' high about 34-3/8" away from the knee wall, so you need equal amounts of floor space on either side of that 34-3/8" line. Your options? Right now your bathroom is 5', or 60" deep. Your first option is to increase the depth of the bathroom by moving the bathroom wall further into the attic space so it's 69" away from the kneewall. Instead of being 5' deep, your bathroom will be 5'9" deep. By increasing the amount of floorspace within the bathroom that is over 7' high that will put you right on the 50% mark. Your second option is to do the reverse of the above. Instead of increasing the amount of floorspace with a ceiling height over 7', you instead decrease the amount of floorspace with a ceiling height less than 7'. To do that, leave the doorway wall where it is. Pad out the bathroom's kneewall about 9" into the bathroom. This will reduce your bathroom depth from 5' to 4'4". That might leave you without code-required knee space between the toilet and the wall in front of the toilet, so you might have to rotate the toilet. You might have to increase the length of the room to get adequate toilet and vanity space. I haven't scaled out any required fixture clearances, but here's a rough idea of what my words are trying to convey. The thing is, there's just no real satisfactory solution going this route: One note with the second option: I'd consider using a pedestal sink instead of a vanity. Although you'd lose storage, use the depth of the padded out kneewall area to the left of the sink for built-in storage Then there is always spitting the difference. Padding out the kneewall a few inches, and moving the doorway wall out a few inches.

So, I'm getting ready to tile the shower ceiling. I have it all laid out. So, all I needed to do was get the non-sag thinset. Well, I can't find any (from the above) at either HD or Lowes. I read another post that someone else was having the same problem. I also checked a local tile store here and the lady didn't know what I was talking about. Is there anything else you can recommend? Would regular modified thinset work or would tiles start falling on my head? DH is asking about mastic adhesive. That doesn't sound quite right, so I need some advice, fast! TIA -Chris

bullielove and motherof3inct - Yes, the Linen Cabinet was also built custom and to match the vanity - drawers same height and same wood/finish. The original Linen Closet had an 18" bi-fold door, which really only opened about 15", with wire shelving inside. The door was standard 80" height. We opened the width to 24" and the height to 96" for this cabinet. It is free-standing, though anchored, and the frame is scribed to fit as if built-in. Appreciate your kind remarks.

I'm assuming from what the OP said that they don't want or need hall access to a bathroom that one of the bedrooms isn't going to be used as a bedroom. I also LOL at how home builders are so overspecific in naming the rooms on their floorplans. Like everyone wants a game room in the middle of all the bedrooms and home office, just the thing to ensure a good night's rest or undistracted working at a desk. One small item I find really irksome in this floorplan: the door to the master bathroom toilet room is ideally positioned to (a) block the entry from the bedroom when open, which it assumedly would be when not in use, and (b) whack the person using the sink when unexpectedly opened from inside. Also, that door to the upper left bedroom is a weird one. Perhaps to keep it from blocking access to the J&J bathroom when open, it's hinged on what would otherwise be the wrong side. As it is, especially since the bedroom closet extends further than the door opening, the door must be opened an awkward 180 degrees to enter the bedroom from the hallway. Another reason that favors making the upper right and lower left bedrooms the two en suites. This post was edited by lee676 on Wed, Jan 21, 15 at 15:32
