I am in the process of remodeling my master bathroom. It is small.

Right now I have two sinks. I could sure use more counter top space and
was wondering what to do.

Would you eliminate one sink, or would it be best to keep two sinks for
resale value, even though I plan to stay here?

Thanks.

Kate

What, are you retarded? Of all the lame ass **** that comes up on here,
the one that fries me the most is this insane worship of the God of
Resale Value. If you're staying there, **** the resale value. Put in
lime green shag carpet. Use T1-11 for flooring like my friend's old boss
did. Paint the shingles pink.

Tear out the worthless-to-you second sink and give yourself the
countertop room you want. Sheesh. I bet you bought a new car with
leather seats and then instead of enjoying them, you covered them with
plastic to protect the Almighty Resale Value, didn't you?

No need to get abusive, Smitty. Kate has been coming here hat in hand,
never pretending to be anything but a newbie, and most of us have been
practicing our 'plays nice with others' skills with her. The learning
curve has to start somewhere, etc.

Not meaning to abuse Kate, just feel pretty strongly about my position,
and when I feel strongly I speak strongly. Nobody *ever* talked about
"resale value" until the real estate speculation game started. You
bought a house, you lived in it til you died, one of your kids moved in
and raised his family there. You did whatever the hell you wanted to do
to make it comfortable for *you and your family, period.*

OTOH, If Kate's too timid to make her own house comfortable for herself
without worrying about some fictitious future owner's issues, maybe she
*should* be jostled a little. Who knows but what some future buyer (if
there ever is one) wouldn't walk in and say the same thing Kate did:
"sheesh, this bathroom is way too small for two sinks."
