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

What, are you retarded? Of all the lame ass **** that comes up on here,


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


Might want to tone it down a bit. She isnt retarded for asking an opinion.
She's getting information from many of us on what we think, and adding it up
to make a decision. Other times, you get the 'never used this product, have
any done so and if so what did you find' (I posted one of those just today
on an exterior wood preservative brand).

What I think would help, is if we had a pic of the bathroom in question with
some dimensions. All we know now is she wants to preserve resale value as a
contingincy she may need and is in an area where the double sink seems
common.

That she doesnt 'plan to move' doesnt mean she may never need to do so and
she is wisely asking for input (but will decide herself).


Exactly. She asked and my advice is leave the second sink, if at all
possible. Never limit yourself unnecessarily.

I didn't bother to ask any here on resale value as I look over a bathroom
re-do. I need to make it wheelchair accessable. That means the tub has to
move to along the exterior wall and have a special lip and closing doors so
I can have both. Tiolet and sink have to move to where the tub/shower is
now. The fact is done right, it will have a better resale value but I'm
looking at it as what I need to do so I don't have to move to a resthome
because i can't get in my own bathroom in a few years.

I'd be more worried about her postage stamp kitchen on resale than a second
sink.


That's a different discussion. There may be no way to solve this problem but
there also is no reason to make things unnecessarily worse.
