No you can’t do that.

Why does it seem lately that everyone can tell you what you can’t do but no one wants to give you a valid option of what you can do. Our builder 6 months into the project has decided that the designed stairs are too big so we won’t be happy with them. We have been thinking this since day one and have been asking for them to confirm the size so we don’t get stuck with something we hate. Well now we know and its not something we can fix. We have an option of the stairs taken the entire lower room or we can completely gut the existing master suite and stuff a hallway through it, where there isn’t really room.
We opted for the hallway, it was the best of two options, although now the thought has caught us that the laundry room is about 5 miles from the master bedroom, definitely not the best location but we can work around that.
The builder completely gutted all of the master suite every wall is gone all the plumbing, except for the toilet, which leaks into the kitchen now, then he finally shared with us his master plan for the bedroom. We hate it.
I’ve drawn up an alternative that I think we like better but I haven’t yet heard if its doable. The worst part about it is, it envolves moving the bathroom to the other side of the lower ibeam. the plumbing is not on that side, we may have to raise up the bathroom so the plumbing can run in the floor.
Have I mentioned in other rants that I just want this thing to be done.

Didn’t you have plans before all this started from an architect that you all liked and were approved
Sucks that things are being changed in ways you don’t like.

we did have a plan, problem is that with the designer I think they drew the stairs smaller on plan than actual. and looking on a 2d drawing its hard to get a handle on scale and how one big feature will impact your room.
