is that bathroom cavernous or is it just the picture... it looks huge!

It's very big! Each of those floor tiles are a foot square and you're not seeing all of them in the photo.

wow what a nice spacious bathroom Norm!!!!!

Thanks Chris! ;-)

That's a great-sized bathroom! I envy you! My main bathroom was an afterthought, I think. The house was built when I think they used outhouses, so the bathroom is kind of stuck on at the back of the kitchen and is less than 6' x 10'.

Thanks Kenny! The original house plans had the bathroom inside the third bedroom, but the bathroom was a lot smaller and we thought it also made the bedroom too small. We moved it to the unfinished mechanical room to make it bigger and to get the ceiling height we thought it needed with the raised shower platform.
