Plan made with HGTV room planner http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/pac_ctnt_wide/text/0,,HGTV_17897_23822,00.html.

- remove crazy shelf above toilet that hits you in the back when you sit on the toilet Marc removed this on December 5, 2006, the day we took ownership of the house.
- change bedroom closet into smaller linen closet with door into hallway and bathroom instead of into bedroom
- move vanity/light/medicine cabinet into now-empty space (possibly also get bigger vanity, new light fixture and new tub hardware)
- replace bathroom galvanized pipes with copper pipes
- reseat toilet with functional wax ring Finished on April 9, 2006.
- Fix wood rot in bathroom floor (part of the pest inspection)
- retile bathroom floor with smaller white tiles (still looking for perfect pattern)
- retile bathtub with decent tiles
- Add exhaust fan/light combo over tub with a twist timer Installed Feb. 2, 2006.

The new plan looks much better, and gives you a little walking and standing space in the bathroom. The current plan leaves no empty space.
