5ft wide master closet is NOT wide enough! It is fine if you're only hanging clothes on one side, but if you're hanging clothes on both walls, there won't be enough room to walk between them!!

Cole, you won’t always be young. I’m 74 years old and you should consider a walk-in shower for your master bedroom. I have built two homes in the past 15 years and I put no curb walk-showers and it is wonderful.

Also an elevator shaft. Dam it’s a 3 story house plus basement.

Two suggestions re: bathrooms and one about the master closet. 1) Place toilets out of direct line of sight of bathroom entry doors. It's not what you want to look at from your bedroom or hallway, and a backup bit of privacy when you live with children. 2) Reconsider a 3/4 bath rather than a simple powder room on the main floor. If someone becomes disabled, even briefly (broken leg, surgical recovery, etc.), being able to sleep and shower on the main floor is a major thing. Make sure the main floor bath is wheelchair accessible (room to turn around) and the shower is roll-in. If you don't need it, it doesn't cost a fortune (you will want tile floor for a wet room/roll in shower), but if you need it, it's a godsend. I know you said you were designing the entry for wheelchair access, so this seems similarly forward-thinking. Much cheaper to do now than in a remodel. Even with an enormous master closet, you are not making good use of space to plan a barn door for attic access. They take up a ridiculous amount of wall space, making the closet much less spacious. I think 5 feet is WAY too narrow, because basically, it's a hallway with clothes hanging/shelves on one side.

Always add lots of blocking for stuff like towels, cabinets, range hoods, even tv mounts and other wall mounted things like lights. (Assuming you intend to do any wallmounted lights to keep the original classic or highend aesthetic of the home)

I think an entrance to a walk-in closet from the bathroom would be better. You can pick out clean clothes right out of the shower/bath. Don't have to walk out of the bath and around to the closet. Ladies appreciate not having to worry about children busting into the bedroom while disrobed (also gives privacy in case spouse is in and out of the room also). It may also give more options of furniture placement in the bedroom with a large dresser, chest of drawers, or work desk (one less door in a bedroom wall to work around).

Enclose the toilets for privacy. Sound proof the walls between bedroom, hall and bath. Kids sound like elephants when running around so sound proof between floors. Also it makes it easier for them to sneak out at night😄

It’s always better to have a separate office away from and out of the bedroom. Do not mix the two. 😊

Cole - A master bathroom with two sinks is designed for the couple to use simultaneously… As much as we all love each other in this world, nobody wants to watch their partner sit on the toilet. Each of the toilets in the master bathrooms need to have a closet built around them with a door - please add a fan inside.

And for wheel chair access, most modern wheel chairs are less than 27 inches. Most bathroom doors are 32-36 inches. My only real suggestion is while you are removing windows you are trying to make everything fit right on the inside. Don’t forget to visualize what it will look like on the outside.

Make sure you do not place a toilet flange over the center of a floor joist, Justin will thank you for that! Heat the floor in the whole bathroom, except under the vanity and closets. Instead of blocking between studs use 3/4" plywood, not OSB, on the interior walls before the drywall goes on. If you do, do not forget to add that dimension when locating the toilet.

Pocket doors where ever you can. No worries about hearing everything. If you open up the door they just slide so much easier

It’s a good idea to look ahead to the future. Between showers / tubs: sometimes tubs are needed to soak due to injury or muscle fatigue ( epsom salt soaks) so, for me, tubs rule.

This is all looking awesome! Could one door to the 1/2 bath near the kitchen be across from the stairs? Then door number 2 where the window is? Keeping the pantry wall solid? I think there would still be room for a linen closet, sink and toilet. This is fun to watch Cole!

Okay, here's my ideas if I owned the house I would try to stack the plumbing. First floor - Change the walk in pantry to a powder room and a separate mudroom with a deep laundry sink. The door (or doors) should be facing the back door stairs. A pantry wall unit can be easily incorporated into the kitchen wall shared with the stairs. Someone can come inside covered in mud and strip off in mudroom . Of course robes would be beneficial otherwise guests may have a surprise. Second floor - Have a full bath (bathtub for the kids) on the second floor directly above the first floor mudroom/powder room and a laundry room next to it. Split the second suite into two kids bedrooms with with wardrobes/closets. Attic - Have a half bath or powder room above this in the attic. It could be later changed to a Master suite if required. Basement - if possible put in at least a powder room under the first floor powder room. This can have a shower added if a guest room is added down there. I like the look of opening the second floor to the attic roof but also think that this is a waste of space at this time. He said they are planning a two storey addition and garage on this side of the house so maybe it can be incorporated into those plans above the main stairs. You'd walk up from the first floor and turn left onto the landing then turn left again for the original second floor or right for the addition's second floor. That part could be open to the attic roof and maybe skylights as well. This would make a three bedroom house with a master bathroom and full bathroom on the second floor with the basement and attic having powder rooms so they are extra living space like a media room, games room or gym.

U could do like a hidden bookcase door in that closet in case of a emergency for the family cole

It's all coming together. For the main floor bathroom, as you are looking outward, put the door on the right hand wall towards the kitchen. Are you putting your laundry room in the pantry? I would.

After reading some comments I agree with some of the ideas. Yes you need to enclose the toilets in the master bathrooms, You should also make the main floor bathroom a 3/4, toilet ,sink , and roll-in shower. My parents had to leave their house because my father couldn't do stairs so a shower and sleeping area on the main floor are really a must. And one last thing you should plumb out a 3\4 bath in the attic, one day you will have teenage boys and you may want another bathroom. Or if it becomes a playroom/movie room you don't want to be OR listen to someone running down the stairs when they need to use the facilities. You might want to think about pocket doors for the toilets and secret stairway as well as the downstairs bath. Just my two cents the place looks great!

The framing went well and now suddenly there are rooms ! 👍

Keeps getting closure, can't wait for the completion.

Amazing work so far! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

In your upstairs bedroom. If you are going go leave the door where it's at, then you should turn your toilet the other direction up against the wall to that is to it's left then move your wall to the left of the toilet after it's moved. Then the person on the toilet is looking past the sinks. Those stairs seemed pretty stable. I bet the lumberyard loves to see you coming. How many stories high is Roman's chicken castle going to be, he sure has the material now. Good luck and we pray that you and all are safe during this crazy weather season.

If you can, most people try to keep the toilet out of your line of sight.

It's the centerpiece in Cole's master bathroom. First thing people see.

Cole, ask Justin how he feels about you and Roman helping him. It would be great to know what he thinks about your skills and if things have improved or got worse.😂

Cole, please put a doorway from the bathroom into the wardrobe in master suite one. It’s so much more considerate and convenient and you won’t regret it.

Cole I like how you asked people’s opinion on the space because it’s going to create a ton of activity in your KZread channel. Honestly if you can break up each bathroom video and do some kinda voting that would be super cool and create a lot of viewer activity in your chat.

The thought of CLEANING this huge house ( once completed) makes me feel exhausted.

Good thing it’s not your house

Think about pocket doors, they really work well.

No they don't, the way they were built they always got stuck. Ihe original design was poor. and the construction materials were not good. I encountered a house full of them. It was a nightmare!

Good for you Cole, your always positive. Enjoy watching thanks for sharing.😁♥️from seattle

Since you can still change things, I would put a door from the master bathrooms into the walk-in closet. That would be so handy!

Thanks and GOD BLESS 😀

I am glad Roman finally got a shirt

It was a hoodie he wanted.

In master 2, Put the toilet on the closet wall, make the shower a corner entrance and put it on closet wall and exterior wall. Use the other corner of exterior wall and create a massive sink, vanity and storage cabinetry.

I loved the chin up session!!! You guys are having way too much fun BUT you are getting work done! Keep these great videos coming.

My bet is that you’re gonna have to redo the bathroom layout. I think the sinks should be on the outer wall with a mirror in front of them. The toilets could go into a small room if you want to, but I would add a door for some privacy if you want.

Cole you have put so much time and effort into this beautiful old home! Its a wonderful tribute to your great grandpa and grandpa! Coming from someone who is 76 yrs old I'm wondering if you have put any thought into an elevator system? I've been watching your You Tube channel for several years and I am amazed at all you have accomplished. Thank you for years of great entertainment!

Over 70 here 👋 I’d love living in this beautiful house, but arthritic knees and spine would keep me STUCK on the ground level. Heck, I might even have trouble getting onto the porch to enter.( yes, there’s always the side entrance, but you walk into stairs there, too)

Great thought. Maybe you can build the stairs wells extra wide so a chair lift can be installed.

For the bathroom the door should walk into facing the vanity/mirror/sink and maybe to the left have the toilet facing the window and on the right the tub/shower idk

Absolutely stunning work, dedication, ethics, and ingenuity are what you guys are made of. A 1000 hand claps and hugs. Good job.

So there's another channel that I watch organized chaos 4. At some point if you have an attached garage. I would do what they did and I would put a door that went from your garage directly into your kitchen, pantry, or closest room so you dont have to lig dirt and snow all thru the house and you can drop and go then shut door and get your shoes off and then unpack

If you are going to hang clothes on both sides of your closet,you need to be at least 6ft. wide for that closet. Please think about this if that’s the case!

Thanks Cole! Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Loving the layout cole, its really coming together now! Finally progress..... does that mean your almost ready for wiring and plastervoard? Gunna look lovely when it gets done! But liveable untill completely complete. Makes it all worth the slog! Keep doing what your doing boys! Absolute grand job

Still not too late to hire a designer 😊

@@greghamann2099 I agree. I thought gutting the wreck of the old house was a good idea, considering the extent of the problems from an unmaintained white elephant. Now, however, when I read comments saying Justin is a the brains, a genius, and in today someone said he was the mastermind, I have to laugh. Cole is a bright guy. I hope he consults an actual architect and a designer and sticks to farming/business and Justing sticks to swinging a hammer.

I hope you have a bathtub. I would think Nave would want one.

I am fascinated by the "Ship of Theseus" aspect of this project.
