Close Call

I took this on one of jobs I'm on.

Nice, eh?



Yes, the door passes by the toilet - but just barely.

Re: Close Call

Looks like a knee banger if you sittin on the toilet and someone opens the door, best lock it when your on the pot.

Re: Close Call

The problem that led to this is that there are two doorways to this bathroom. Would this still be considered a Jack 'n Jill even though one entrance is from a study, the other the front foyer?

Re: Close Call

That looks like a roomier version
of a motel in Dove Creek Utah!
Was the front door jamb busted
at the latch keeper too?

Re: Close Call

Jack and Jill baths are when there's a bedroom on either side.

Re: Close Call

I got that beat, I wish I had a picture too, Door was opposite swing of that one, and toilet protruded into swing path. Someone actually cut a half circle out of the door so it could swing past the toilet!

Did they add a half circle bump-out on the jamb for when the door is closed?
