Part 3: The Basement Bathroom.
The area of the basement where the bathroom would go was already determined because the sewer drain plumbing and venting were out in when the house was built. This meant that the placement of the tub, toilet and general area of the vanity was pretty well fixed. Given that I decided to keep the bathroom modest in size and save the extra square footage for the rest of the basement.
I really had hoped to get a one piece tub and shower enclosure into the basement but with the stairwell already finished it wouldn’t have fit down the steps… instead I chose a 2 piece unit. A tub and a single piece surround.
