reminder, posting in the public area as I send people here to bore them with my shit like I bore you with my shit I think this will be the final (interior) project for the house. We bought in 08, built in 99 by an older builder whos design was stuck in the early 90s. So we had a couple decades to make up. Plus I'm compulsive on DIY. this was the before. nice, large bath but really who needs a big open floor? No I don't normally keep a large trash can in there. Large 4x4 toilet area to the left, walk in closet to the left.  |

been suspecting for a few months for reasons I cannot legally disclose that the fart fan was not connected to anything. I was correct...  |

so the plan... we are eliminating the standard tub/shower and replacing with a zero entry, ada compliant walk in so the tub area will be expanded about a foot longer and wider. That (ripping out the wall) and the fart fan issue just told me hey lets tear out the entire ceiling.   plus the back wall of the shower to make sure nothing hinky in that wall i needed to know early on.  |

next up was the doors. We had french doors that swung out, until we did the floating bed project and completely changed the bedroom we had to move them to inswing. But that blocked easy access to the light switches so I then got a piano hinge and made them fold in on themselves to the right - but when there they blocked about a quarter of the entry into the closet. plan changed and custom doors by my cabinet guy and making smaller. So I had to attach some strips to both shrink and plumb of the crappy builder grade install.  |

jamb on and since making smaller will need to upsize the trim - this is a test piece.  |

detour back to the fart fan wife wants doors on the toilet area to give her a 'poop room'. Even though she will never, ever close the doors on it but mama gets what mama wants. I decided to do two fans, one in the poop room and one in the general area, switched separately. Drilling this hole was not too much fun.  The other fan is humidity sensing. I've set at 55% which my indoor sensors tell me we rarely hit. Both are now properly vented thru the soffit. We will be pulling 200 CFM's if i remember correctly. Plenty. |

last post to get you current(ly bored) Since we added the sunroom we had to close off the crawlspace and the new one accessing it is even smaller - you have to crawl into two to get in under the house. Add to that it is literally as far away from the bath project as one could get caused me to find a solution. I present to you, the hatch...   And to just over all the plumbing. I need to move the toilet (hopefully today) about 7 inches and study on how the new shower will impact things. I need to downsize the joists to accommodate the zero entry plus the upstairs bath i added a few years back comes in right there. This is the start of the drain system so not a huge amount of slope to work with.  |

well, moving a toilet seven inches to the left should have taken a few hours. nope, almost two full days. pics later, I need a beer and a shower.

the hole.... To add the room we need for the shower, moving the toilet is needed even though it doesn't look like much. The area was 52" wide. Very nice but a bit much and I really don't use that area. We use the 'his and hers' approach to toilet usage. For me the test is to make a fist, put that fist on your nipple with elbows out. That is all you need for a toilet area. We are doing ADA compliant on the shower, toilet is what it is not sure of the compliance requirements there.  |

fun fact for the observant. The opening on the left is the entrance to what I call the Custom Cat Shithouse. The wall is shared by the washer and dryer in the laundry so when I was building a shelf to raise up the front loaders (not going to pay crazy money for the stands they try to sell you) I thought - hey. The cats enter here for their two cat boxes and then in the laundry there is a sliding door I built that allows to pull out the boxes for cleaning. Close, and they are gone. The other side of the shelf holds two laundry baskets. I also have a 3" vent in the floor with a bathroom vent assembly hooked up in the crawl space and on a rheostat to constantly pull a small amount of air out so no odors. It exits thru a foundation vent - nothing left in the crawlspace.
