And we're going ahead. The Fiance loved the mockups. I'm happy, because it means we save $1000 every month which would have been spent on rent. If we can do the work for $5000, then it will pay for itself in just 5 months.
Here are the latest views, I've slapped on some paint, changed the bed, closet and fridge and put some pictures on the walls.
Do your housing regs allow for a) that much less window in a room (there are minimum light and egress regs in most places - especially for bedrooms) b) that much window in a bathroom (I had to change my bathroom window glass to some other sort of laminated glass because the regs didn't allow it because the window could be smashed into by a wet body slipping) c) electricials in a shower bathroom?
a) The regulations should be fine, we'll have to see how much light there is. I haven't measured the window perfectly, but it's very high and I think it will end up around 1.5 meters wide.
b) All depends on where the bathroom wall lines up, again I'll have to see.
c) There shouldn't be any electrical in the bathroom. Shaver ports are not big in this country like they are in the rest of the world, we still use blades :)
Rather than a regular bed, how about a futon? Fold down for sleep, fold up for couch.
Is it worthwhile considering a table/counter that swings down from the wall (rather than a permanent counter beside the sink and cooktop?) or a small table that folds up and stows away when not in use?
This is shaping up nicely, looks very doable! :)
I got a negative on anything foldy for the bed. It's a regular bed or a no go. We both enjoy cooking, so the counter space was needed. Due to the height, I might even have another counter higher up for a (hopefully convection) microwave and some stacking space.
