You are right to point out the potential pinch point of three kids all vying for bathroom time! It would have been nice to put two sinks in there but with the slanted ceilings we just couldn’t fit it but we were able to get a whole nother bathroom upstairs and you can check out the full upstairs layout in our previous post. Bathroom count is something we’ve been thinking about a lot lately and we may do a full post on that topic soon. Anyone else have thoughts about the number of bathrooms/sizes in homes these days?
As far as permits go yes we do need permits for this work. Luckily since we are only changing around non-bearing interior walls, we didn't need any structural engineering (we'll need this later when we open up the main floor kitchen area though!). We drew up a basic floor plan ourselves and were able to get a permit through our city building department for the upstairs (Phase I of our project). Let us know if this process is something that would be of interest for a full post.
Three children and one sink concerns me. Also, do you need permits for all the construction?
