  • Hi Lemon


    I would say about 5/6 ft wide minimum. That would give you enough room. Best thing to do would be to set shapes (say large cushions or pieces cardboard) reflecting size sink etc on the ground and work from there. You can get narrow toilets and hand basins too so if space is limited it can be worked around. Hope this helps.

    Glad all going ok at work and this is your last day before your leave :)

    Just think another week and another wee face will be taken down from you signature.

    You have done so well.

    Take care

    isn't it amazing what sort of information you can find out through your friends on here :) thanks everyone.

    you're right E, i will be able to knock another smilie face from my signature next week yay! I shall continue to do so until i make a formal decision about the operation in which case it may extend again. but not by much more than about 12 new faces

    back in the real world again, had a lovely long weekend, we'll definitely be going back again next year if Mr LT has anything to do with it.

    Uni did you measure your en-suite by any chance?

    We're off for a whistlestop day tomorrow, we're seeing 3 houses in the morning, going into town to see our agents to get an update (they don't know we're going yet), i need to get an anniversary card as it's our anniversary tomorrow (oops left that a bit late!), then we're off for a pre op check at the hospital and then hopefully back home via a lovely resturant. So fun filled.

    Sorry LT, just gone and done it. As you can imagine my head is a mess.

    Its 2 metres long by 1.4 metres at its widest. Door is halfway along a and when you enter the toilet and wash hand basin are to one side and the shower to tthe other, the shower is only 1.2 metres wide hence the 1.4 at its widest. I hope this helps. Ours isn't the biggest but its functional and gives plenty of towel/stuff storage above the sink and toilet. Our door opens inwards, a friend of our her opens outwards and she's had a lot of people complain its awkward when viewing her house. This is found ironic as our wc downstairs the door opens outwards.

    thanks Uni, i asked the question before i popped along to your diary, sorry, i should have come back here and said not to worry but then got waylayed. I'm with you though on the outward opening door being awkward i would assume that it would save loads of space. in the house we loved that we've lost that was one of the first things we planned to do - change the way the door opened so we could fit a toilet in the upstairs bathroom.
  • No need to apologise at all LT.

    how is everyone today?
    i've had a busy day, been to see three houses this morning one of which i think we like, then went for lunch and saw our estates agent to discuss our property, and then off the hospital for pre op checks so busy busy busy.
    hoping we may get to the cinema tomorrow for an orange wednesday if there's something good to watch. Still got to get my car service sorted out.
