Ok, I am going to be brutally honest so take it with a pinch of salt.
Honesty appreciated - if I wanted someone to just tell me I was doing the right thing, I would have asked my girlfriend (no wait, I did!).
I think you have done yourself a massive disservice by having a combo bathroom/laundry in a 4 x 2. What was your designer thinking?
Interesting. I have come around to combo laundry bathrooms over the last year. I hate living in them myself, but typically because many examples are done porely and are aesthetically unpleasant (you feel like you are showering in the laundry). However I've since seen a bunch of examples where the laundry facilities are entirely hidden (behind cupboard doors, as in the Euro laundry), the sinks are porcelain, and benchtops are stone or something nice. Done well, about the only noticeable difference is that your bathroom sink is huge (you can opt for two different sinks, but to me that makes it feel more like a laundry). So on balance I think the space it saves is worth it. You are right though, there is a lot of space outside the toilet so possibly it could have been designed better.
Is the $265 include everything to turnkey or is there more on top of that?
The $265 is turnkey, but I still need to fork out for fencing and site works.
