Discussion about
In a one bedroom and the bathroom has two doors: one from living room and one from bedroom (thus the faux ensuite). The bedroom door area is quite spacious and I was thinking of just getting rid of the door and putting in a good sized walk-in closet instead. Does anyone have a two door setup and actually find it that useful? Anyone know what a project like this might cost? (Have to get rid of door, do work on bathroom side, including some tiling and then a new door for closet and all the built ins. space is maybe 5x5. Thanks!
Did you stop whining and close without giving the condo board what you needed? To your current q, for 1br, no need of a bedroom door unless you are expecting someone to be sleeping in your living room. I would just permanently lock the door not do anything else. You can put a closet on top of that.

This woman found it extremely useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGB1EtBqdEQ&feature=relmfu
It's explained :40 into the video.
The very last thing Sally Jesse Raphael needs to be concerned about is rappers coming in through her bathroom window.
Thanks Matt - that's pretty decisive! Also what my place currently looks like.
300 - Yes, well sort of. Was a bit of a fiasco, with Board playing lawyer and deciding what I should have in my contract, not realizing that what they were doing was tortious interference and were totally setting themselves up for a lawsuit if anything went wrong. I still think it is moronic that these condo boards act like co-op boards. But my saga is done. Thanks for that suggestion - guess any easy solution.
"I still think it is moronic that these condo boards act like co-op boards."
Everyone wants their building to be a condo until they get in.
THEN they want it to be a co-op.
Trust me I do not want it to be a co-op. What is upside: stupid board hassles everyone and makes it hard to sell your place and a pain in the ass? That makes for an unpleasant building, lowers the value, and opens you up to get sued. If I wanted a co-op I would have bought one. There is a reason that everywhere else has gotten rid of the stupid concept of co-ops.
But enough about that, what about my stupid closet!
Ottawanyc, if you lived in NYCMatt's co-op, your simple disagreement with him above would yield punitive action by Matt's co-op board, up to and including an inflatable rat in front of your doorway.
i saw a great layout with a sink and toilet and vanity, then a pocket door separating the tub, and another sink. almost like gaining a half bath while still having an en-suite bath. pretty clever.
That sounds like the typical arrangement in 1950s London public housing, except each part of it has an entrance from the common area. jim_hones posh = post-Blitz low-income projects.
Did i say posh fuckface? Clever. Go suck a cock faggot.
