We had my folks over last Sunday, they couldn’t contain their curiosity any longer I guess. I told them I’m prepared to ignore any advice they wanted to give :-)<\/p>\n

One of the opinions was that trying to fit a bedroom + en-suite bathroom into the ex-single-garage is crazy. Too cramped.<\/p>\n

Well, OK, we know it will be tight. But we think we can live with it. On the other hand, I’m now doubting this (while I say<\/em> that I happily ignore all advice, in truth… I don’t).<\/p>\n

So the measuring tape came out again.<\/p>\n

As a sanity check, I measured Tanya’s existing bedroom last night. She lives there full-time, I only sleep over two or three nights a week, living from a tog bag. What I’m saying is, we’d need more storage than she currently has.<\/p>\n

But storage isn’t the main concern, it’s being able to move around the place without having to climb over the bed<\/a> to get to the loo. We sort of manage at Tanya’s place, but it’s not ideal.<\/p>\n

So I CADded to compare<\/a>. (Top is Tanya’s existing place, bottom is work in progress).<\/p>\n

The good news is, I just realised that the bed I’ve been using for these exercises is a king, and we were planning to use a queen, so I gain a whole 200mm<\/em>!
