Garden Floor Bathroom
The bathroom on the garden floor opens to the kitchen. We just had the bathroom gutted to change the position of the door and to widen it. I am interested in closing off the hallway entrance to the kitchen and making that the bathroom door. The back door can still be accessed through the kitchen. Does anyone know if there is anything that says I can't do this to the garden floor?

Do you have a sketch that you can post?
Is this a single family residence or a multiple dwelling?
Was any of the work filed with the builind department?

there is some rule that says a bathroom can't open into a kitchen, though if it's already like that, I wouldn't think it matters too much unless it's a tenant space or it was built that way without approval (and recently)...it sounds like you want to change it from that (smart), but is it now difficult to get to the kitchen to get to the backdoor? (we had a similar issue here but just moved the bathroom out of the kitchen instead)
