I'm considering doing just the same (leaving my job because of that one person). If my boss leaves, we would have to work directly underneath her ... I just won't do it, not even if they triple my wages.

You might get away with it while the kids were very young, but not if this house is a long-term proposition. The extra space in the kitchen does sound attractive though. |
I've been hearing very conflicting stories from family and friends. My BF had only one toilet when he still lived at home. He had a teenage brother. He says it was no problem. I've always had two toilets (family of 6) at home, and there have been numerous times when the toilet downstairs was occupied when I had to go. I think it's just a matter of habit really. I mean, 80 years ago people had a toilet outside with a hole in a piece of wood, and they did fine
Maybe we'll make a connection for a toilet underneath the stairs just so we can install a second one if it is really necessary.
The kitchen would be absolutely divine if we remove the toilet, I'm guessing I'm the only one holding it back right now
BF and architect are both completely convinced of this idea
