And if that wasn't enough

Wednesday October 10th, 2007

We had missing inches and now, if that wasn't enough, Andreas drives by during the day today only to have Carpenter tell him that he decided to move the master bathroom door over by about 4" to give us more toilet room (no no NOOOOO!) and also would it be ok if the laundry room is still a little smaller than the drawings because it looks like the beam across the first floor ceiling that frames the front of the stairs (and lies directly under the laundry room wall) is not exactly where it should be. Andreas announces these things to me as we are standing in the house last night; after climbing up an unstable wet muddy ladder in my work clothes and it's raining on us.

My two cents were this - put the door back where it goes, and by the way my laundry room seriously needs to the right size.

Just to double check, Andreas and I cruise on over to HD to measure washers & dryers. We see that, in general, they are about 28" wide. Therefore, taking into account space in between and on both sides, we come to the conclusion that if we lost a couple of inches on the 5' 5" laundry room it would not be the end of the world. However, it can be no narrower than 5' 2".

We've also been reminded by Marat that we must select some of the bathroom fixtures as the rough-in plumbing will be started soon...note to self, make appointment at the bath place.
