<div></div>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Gill Sans MT">In an effort to conserve space, I
would like to put a powder room (wall hung toilet and small sink) under the
stairs. Stairs are not a straight run; likely U-shaped but may also be possible
to do an L (upper floor is a partial and is 12' depth). Ceiling height is 9ft on
first floor.<br></font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Gill Sans MT">The structural engineer says that
this can't be done, that it's against code. I know that as long as I have the
6'11" headroom it isn't. <br></font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Gill Sans MT">Has anyone had any experience with a
powder room under the stairs? If so, how did you do it?</font></font></p>
<p><font size="+1"><font face="Gill Sans MT">Many
thanks!<br>Lynelle</font></font><br></p>
