2003 GMC Yukon XL Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 6 reviews
While it didn't change drastically in 2003, the Yukon XL did make some noteworthy improvements. GMC added Quadrasteer for improved steering and higher towing capacity. In addition, the Yukon XL got upgraded mirrors, multi-zone climate control, re-done control consoles, and optional DVD system and XM radio.
This full-size SUV has 4 doors and seats 8-9 depending on which of the 13 trims you choose. Think of the SLT as more luxurious than the SLE with standard features that include leather seats. The Yukon XL lets you choose from 5.3 L or 6.0 L V8 powertrains that give you 285, 295, 315, or 325 hp. Towing capacity generally ranges from 8000 to 9000 lbs., although the strongest trims can tow up to 12000 lbs.
Most drivers agree that the XL excels in powertrain selection and interior room. In addition, they appreciate the improvements for the new model year. While critics say the '03 Yukon XL could use better materials, most reviewers like what this domestic SUV offers in modern features and power.

WAYNE, NJ â JVC Professional Products Company, a division of JVC Americas Corp., today announced that Northwestern University is using 25 JVC GD-463D10U 46-inch 3D LCD HD monitors to create a video wall display for visualization of detailed scientific data. The 5Ã5 video wall, which can provide presentations for up to 35 people, is located in the lobby of the Silverman Hall for Molecular Therapeutics and Diagnostics, which was built for the Chemistry of Life Processes Institute and opened last year.
Professor Tom Meade, director of the Center for Advanced Molecular Imaging (CAMI) research facility within the institute, said the video wall is an integral part of the centerâs mission to acquire, visualize, and interpret data from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging, and other technologies within a single facility. He said the ability to display such large amounts of information (a technique known as volume rendering) in high detail allows scientists to observe and interpret data they would have never seen otherwise.
According to Matt McCrory, lead visualization engineer, Northwestern University, a projector-based system was not an option due to space restrictions, and the original plan to create a high-resolution tile display did not include 3D. However, after he tested a single 3D display with his own volume rendering software, he decided 3D would benefit CAMIâs advanced visualization efforts.
McCrory researched a variety of manufacturers, but said only JVC delivered the high-resolution 3D imaging and thin bezels (for a tighter installation) he required. The JVC GD-463D10U monitor also features an integrated Xpol polarizing filter, so it uses inexpensive polarized (passive) glasses to produce flicker-free 3D HD images. As a result, McCrory did not have to sync all 25 screens or invest in dozens of pairs of expensive active shutter glasses. âWith JVCâs passive solution, that whole challenge just disappeared,â? he said. âIt made life a lot easier.â?
The installation was completed in late March by Roscor Corporation, which is based in Mount Prospect, Ill. While the panels are angled at the top and bottom of the display to maximize the 3D field of view, the video wall was not designed to be an immersive environment. âThis is more about allowing a roomful of people to see the same 3D canvas,â? McCrory explained. âThe 3D effects work really well.â?
The video wall displays close to 52 megapixels â more than six times the resolution of Digital IMAX â and is driven by a system of NVIDIA Quadro Plex graphics cards, which are powered by a cluster of Linux-based computers and managed through Equalizer middleware (developed under Open Source). With some help from Northwesternâs University Academic and Research Technology Department, McCrory plans to develop a suite of iPad applications that will allow scientists and other presenters to easily adjust the data displayed on the JVC monitors.
âThe JVC is a very bright, very vivid display. So far, theyâve been performing really well,â? said McCrory. âItâs hard to even imagine there being a better monitor right now for this kind of application.â?

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for drilling gas relief holes through coal beds, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for maintaining a rotating drill bit along a trajectory parallel to the bedding planes of subterranean coal beds.
The use of rotary drilling to form long horizontal gas relief holes in coal beds is known in the art as a means for degasifying a coal bed in advance of mining. These gas relief holes are either vented or connected to a vacuum source to remove methane from the coal bed. The greatest problem encountered in drilling these gas relief holes is that of maintaining the bit trajectory parallel to the coal bed such that the resulting holes are actually through the coal bed rather than through an overlying or underlying formation.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The state of the art to which the present invention pertains is set forth in detail in a Bureau of Mines Report of Investigations published in 1975 numbered 8097 and entitled "Rotary Drilling Holes in Coalbeds for Degasification", by Cervick et al, available in the U.S. Department of the Interior Library. That report describes the use of rotary drill bits attached to drill rods and maintained in a desired trajectory by a combination of bit thrust, rotational speed and drill rod centralizer spacing. That report further notes that locating a centralizer or stabilizer near the drill bit will cause a slight upward trajectory to the bit with proper drill thrust and bit rotational speed, and further notes that a downward trajectory can be obtained by locating a centralizer several meters behind the bit. However, relocating a centralizer to facilitate a change in bit trajectory due to change in bed dip or to the bit straying out of the coal bed for any reason has previously involved removal of the entire drill string. Such a procedure is time consuming and unproductive. The use of two centralizers as suggested in the report also presents problems.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,131,778 describes a device for changing the direction of a hole being drilled, the device including a housing having a shaped slot with lateral offsets. A drill bit is connected to the housing by a pin movable in the slot. However, the apparatus described in that patent is designed for drilling generally vertical boreholes, and is not suitable for drilling generally horizontal gas relief holes in coal beds.
There has been a continuing need, prior to the present invention, for an improved method and apparatus for controlling the trajectory of horizontal gas relief holes in coal beds.
According to the present invention, the horizontal trajectory of a rotating drill bit in a coal bed is controlled by use of a stabilizer or centralizer selectively positioned on a drill rod behind a drill bit. The stabilizer may be moved relative to the drill bit without removing the stabilizer from the borehole, thereby saving time and expense when the trajectory of the advancing borehole must be changed to accommodate a change in bed dip of a coal bed being drilled or to prevent the bit from straying out of the coal bed due to bit deviation from any cause.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method and apparatus for drilling generally horizontal gas relief holes in coal beds.
It is a further object to provide such a method and apparatus that will enable an operator to follow the contour of a coal bed when drilling a gas relief hole without the necessity of removing the drill string to effect equipment changes for changing the direction of drilling.
The accomplishment of the foregoing as well as other objects and advantages is obtained by the present invention, and will be apparent from consideration of the following detailed description thereof.
FIG. 1 is a view of a length of drill rod having a slot formed according to the invention.
FIG. 2 is an orthogonal projection of a stabilizer in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 3 is a view of a length of drill rod with a stabilizer positioned adjacent a drill bit.
FIG. 4 is a view of a length of drill rod with a stabilizer positioned remote from a drill bit.
FIG. 5 is a view illustrating the apparatus of the invention in use.
The following detailed description, in conjunction with the drawings, describes the most preferred version of the apparatus and method of the invention.
It is often desirable in degasifying a coal bed to drill a series of gas relief holes for distances of 300 meters and more into the coal bed. Maintaining the bit on a horizontal trajectory parallel to the bedding planes of the coal bed is difficult. The natural tendency of the bit during horizontal drilling is to arc downward due to the forces of gravity. Other factors such as inclusions in the coal bed may also cause the bit to tend to deviate from the plane of the coal bed. It is generally desirable to maintain the bit trajectory within one degree of the plane of the coal bed being drilled through.
Prior to this invention, there were several approaches taken to maintain the bit trajectory along the desired path. The primary factors affecting the direction of drilling are bit thrust and bit rotational speed. As a general rule, decreased thrust and increased rotational speed tend to cause a downward effect on bit trajectory, while increased thrust and reduced rotational speed tend to cause an upward trajectory. It is also known that positioning a stabilizer or centralizer on the drill rod near the drill bit increases the tendency of the bit to move upwardly, while positioning a stabilizer several meters behind the drill bit tends to cause a downward trajectory of the bit. Other factors such as formation hardness, bit type and drill rod weight can affect the trajectory of the hole. An experienced operator must consider the above as well as other factors in controlling the trajectory of the hole. Using prior art procedures, it was sometimes necessary, upon encountering a downward dip in a coal bed, to remove the drill string from the hole and remove a stabilizer from adjacent the bit. This procedure is time-consuming and costly, and it would be desirable to be able to reposition the stabilizer on the drill rod without the necessity of removing the drill string from the hole, particularly after the hole has been drilled a substantial distance into the formation.
The apparatus according to the preferred embodiment of this invention will now be described in detail. Referring to FIG. 1, a length of drill rod 10 is shown having a slot 11 formed along the length thereof. Slot 11 inludes a lateral offset 12 at the forward end of slot 11 and a lateral offset 13 at the rearward end of slot 11. The slot 11 may be from three to ten meters long, but preferably is about five to seven meters long. Drill rod 10 includes a drill bit 14 attached at the forward end thereof.
Referring to FIG. 2, a stabilizer 15 including a cylindrical section 16 and helical vanes 17 attached to the outer surface thereof is shown. A key 18 protrudes from the inner wall of cylindrical section 16 to guide the stabilizer 15 along the length of drill rod 10 due to the action of key 18 and slot 11. Key 18 is also adapted to fit in the lateral offsets 12 and 13 upon being positioned adjacent thereto and upon clockwise rotation of drill rod 10. Key 18 can be released from lateral offsets 12 and 13 by counter-clockwise rotation of drill rod 10 allowing longitudinal movement of stabilizer 15 along the length of slot 11.
FIGS. 3 and 4 respectively illustrate the forward and rearward position of stabilizer 15 on drill rod 10. In the embodiment illustrated, the drill bit 14 is intended for clockwise rotation, such that the rotation of drill rod 10 and the forward thrust will both tend to secure key 18 in lateral offset 12 when the stabilizer 15 is in the position illustrated in FIG. 3. When it is desired to re-position stabilizer 15, drill rod 10 is pulled back slightly, rotated counter-clockwise a fraction of a turn, and then moved forward such that key 18 moves rearwardly relative to slot 11. Continued drilling will cause central stabilizer 15 to work back along the length of drill rod 10 until it reaches lateral offset 13, where it will then be secured in the rearward position. If it is desired to re-position stabilizer 15 from the forward to the rear position prior to any additional drilling, it is only necessary to withdraw the drill rod 10 a distance equal to or slightly greater than the length of slot 11, followed by slight counter-clockwise rotation of the drill string and forward movement of the drill rod 10.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that additional flexibility can be designed into the apparatus by providing additional lateral offsets along the length of slot 11 such that the stabilizer could be positioned at any desired distance from the drill bit by appropriate manipulation of the drill rod. Also, the apparatus could be used with only the forward offset 12, as the centralizer would tend to stay in the rearward position during drilling even without the rear lateral offset 13. However, the rear lateral offset 13 is helpful in maintaining the stabilizer in the rearward position under certain operating conditions.
The method in accordance with the invention will now be described, having reference to FIG. 5. In FIG. 5, a borehole 20 is shown extending into a coal bed 19 in a generally horizontal direction. The stabilizer 15 is positioned adjacent bit 14. The coal bed 19 forward of the drill bit 14 is shown dipping downwardly from the horizontal, such that the trajectory of the bit 14 must also dip downwardly to maintain the borehole 20 within the bed 19. To accomplish this, the operator would withdraw the drill rod 10 a distance at least equivalent to the length of slot 11, rotate drill rod 10 slightly counter-clockwise to release key 18 from forward offset 12 in slot 11, and then move drill rod 10 forwardly causing drill rod 10 to advance past stabilizer 15 until the key 18 contacts the rear of the slot 11. Upon resuming drilling, key 18 is secured in rear offset 13, and with the stabilizer 15 located several meters behind bit 14, the trajectory of the borehole 20 will tend to drop, enabling the borehole to be maintained within the coal bed 19 until the bed again resumes a horizontal or upward direction, at which time the stabilizer 15 can again be positioned adjacent the drill bit without the necessity of removing the entire drilling apparatus from the borehole.
The foregoing detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the invention is intended to be exemplary rather than limiting, and it will be appreciated that numerous variations and modifications could be made without departing from the true scope of the invention, which is to be defined by the appended claims.

Putin could learn a lot from our County Convention chairman
To The Daily Sun,
I hope taxpayers of Belknap County, are happy with the way the County Convention has reined in and bullied our County Commissioners until I believe they would like to run away and hide. The almighty chairman, Mrs. Colette Worsman, rules with an iron fist. She treats those that do not agree with her with little respect and allows them little input. I would never call Mrs. Worsman a dictator, but Russia's Mr. Putin could learn a lot from her. That is if he could associate himself with someone more radical than he.
Feb. 12, when Mrs. Worsman decided to convene a meeting on a snowy night and had a quorum, the question of the county budget was voted on and it carried, seven in favor and six opposed. Mrs. Worsman then called another member of the Convention at his home. Mr. Comtois was allowed cast his vote over the phone. According to Mrs. Worsman that was considered a tie vote and the motion was now defeated. The budget should have passed. It seems inconceivable, but it really happened.
Thank God our county commissioners had Mrs. Worsman served with papers and the question of the validity of the vote will be determined by the New Hampshire Attorney General. Mrs. Worsman isn't alone, our other two Convention members are Herb Vadney and Robert Greemore. I consider Herb a good friend and we have been involved together many years in the American Legion, but still I believe that Herb and Bob would run right into Mrs. Worsman if she stopped too quickly. County Commissioner Steve Nedeau, also a good friend of mine, has been elected by Meredith and county voters each time he has run for public office, including selectman, state representative, county commissioner and Meredith town moderator. Voters must have a lot of faith in his judgment and integrity to perform well the duties of these positions.
When I voted for three of our state representatives, I hoped they would go to Concord and help solve the many problems facing New Hampshire. I guess being in the minority and not being able to effect change they decided to control Belknap County. (I wrote the above letter on March 12. Before I could submit it to The Sun, another article about the convention appeared in the Sun March 13.)
When I read the March 13 letter I thought, here we go again. Because of budget cuts, the commissioners have eliminated four positions at the County Nursing Home. It seems Mrs. Worsman loves to pick on workers. It must be why some Town of Meredith employees started a union. Another twist in the next meeting, after Worsman had allowed the vote over the phone on Feb. 12, the Commissioners who had supported the budget maintained that this action violated the Right to Know Law. So of course Mrs. Worsman attempted to amend the minutes of Feb. 12 meeting. It was also revealed that before the meeting she and a few other members of the convention discussed the procedure to allow Mr. Comtois to participate over the phone. It was pointed out there was no quorum at that time and not all present were involved in the discussion. I bet you can guess what happened next. Mrs. Worsman attempted to amend the minutes of the Feb. 12. She was outvoted 5 to 4 with 4 abstentions. Not to worry. Mrs. Worsman is planning to bring up the minutes again, but not in Laconia, but in Concord at lunch break on March 19 and March 26. I don't know if the public can attend those meetings. Meredith citizens voted her out as selectman and I will help give her the boot as state representative. I'll be looking for help.

Northern Pass should be listening to N.H. instead of bullying
To The Daily Sun,
In the last couple of decades, stakeholder theory has increasingly become the common frame of reference when Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is discussed. According to today's stakeholder model, a company must be aware of, and respond to, the various demands of all of its constituents. Thus, it breaks with the notion that the shareholders are the only important constituents and that shareholder wealth is the only relevant criteria for evaluating company behavior.
Northern Pass and its huge impact on many aspects of New Hampshire begs for intelligent and sensitive interfacing with the citizens of New Hampshire, in short, Northern Pass should have an intelligent, sensitive, corporate social responsibility policy. Unfortunately Northern Pass has demonstrated they have no understanding of what it means to be a good corporate citizen, and my guess Northern Pass has no CSR policy.
Northern Pass and those slated to realize profits from it have been bullying New Hampshire, not listening to New Hampshire citizenry and essentially disregarding all that New Hampshire stands for concerning individual rights, property values, preservation of nature, support of the tourism, real-estate and second home industries.
All one needs for proof that these concerns are real is to replay the myriad Northern Pass hearings held all over the North Country during the last three years. Our citizens have spoken. How many times do planners need to hear about the negative impact the current Northern Pass tall-tower plan will have on New Hampshire?
Yes, the USA needs power. SB-200 and HB-569 acknowledge that and provides New Hampshire friendly alternatives to supply that power. Yes, we must be friendly to business. But business must also be friendly to us. Otherwise we see a small number of winners and a large number of losers. We, our children, and all future visitors lose, forever what is today's beauty, culture and advantage of New Hampshire.
We recently approved stricter oversight of wind projects, why not stricter oversight of state wide power line projects?
Bury the lines within a New Hampshire-owned power corridor: New Hampshire wins, Northern Pass wins and the USA wins.
I support HB569, and urge all of you to support it, too.

Gas tax increase is a small price to pay for roads that work
To The Daily Sun,
A few weeks ago I attended a Transportation Summit hosted by state Sen. Andrew Hosmer that featured a diverse panel of regional and local community leaders like Jerry Gappens of New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Greg Goddard of Gunstock Mountain, NHDOT Commissioner Chris Clement and Rusty McLear of Mills Fall. This diverse panel and the 50 attendees all agreed on one thing, and that thing is no secret to those of us living in the Lakes Region. That secret is that the current state of our roads and bridges is deplorable and only getting worse.
However, our elected officials have an opportunity to vote on a bill to increase our gas tax by a mere 4 cents, sponsored by Sen. Jim Rausch R-Derry, that would begin to address this overdue problem. This bill, which is reasonable in its increase, would bring in much needed-revenue to not only fix roads vital to our regions economy, but also allow the NHDOT to continue its expansion of I-93 and avoid laying off countless employees.
It was encouraging to see at this Summit such bipartisan agreement on an issue that usually is bogged down in hyperbolic partisan rhetoric. The reality is that this increase, which we haven't had since 1991, would only cost the average driver in New Hampshire $16 a year. This is a small price to pay for roads that work and jobs for Granite Staters. I want to thank Sen. Hosmer for organizing this Transportation Summit and for looking out for the interests of the people of the Lakes Region and New Hampshire.

What a relief Obamacare has brought — sign up by March 31
To The Daily Sun,
As we come to the end of the open enrollment period for Obamacare on March 31, I am thinking of some folks I know who have signed up for health care coverage and are delighted.
My self-employed nephew in Montana knew that he needed health insurance. He had had a serious biking accident when he was younger. Last fall he successfully navigating the federal website www.healthcare.gov and found that his income level qualified him for a subsidy. His plan covers the basics and he can afford it. What a relief.
A New Hampshire couple got a letter last fall saying that their insurance plan would be canceled at the end of the year. It didn't meet the new standards because it failed to cover so much. That plan was later extended for another year, but meanwhile they discovered that they could get a far better deal through the Exchange. The new plan they signed up for had better coverage, greatly reduced their yearly deductible and the premium was way less than the old plan. They felt lucky that Obamacare was in effect.
Another acquaintance, long uninsured, got sick last year and finally had to go to the emergency room. The bill was over $10,000, the money he needed to live on while his seasonal work left him without income. He promised that he would go to one of the agencies like ServiceLink that are signing people up for affordable plans and get enrolled.
I sure hope he did that. But in case he didn't, or in case you are still uninsured, I want you all to know it's not too late! You have until March 31 This coming Saturday, March 22, agencies all around New Hampshire are having enrollment fairs. You can find a list of places and times at www.nhcitizensalliance.org or call ServiceLink at 528-6945. If you can't make it Saturday, sign-ups are happening several places around New Hampshire every day between now and the end of March. There are wonderful folks ready and eager to help you get the health insurance you need.

General de Gaulle, in a moment of irritation (and there were many of those in his mighty career), dismissed demands for independence from Martinique and Guadaloupe by referring to the islands as "pieces of dirt" in the Caribbean sea.
It has become the triumphant symbol of American imperialism; but, in the new century, it surely face
It may subvert the cuddly left-liberal political credibility that I've been subtly cultivating in this column for the past few years, but a conjunction of events makes me realise that now is the moment when I must stand up and admit to having regularly accepted a number of well-stuffed brown env
Behind its propaganda, British foreign policy is undergoing significant changes. The armed intervention in Sierra Leone is a case in point.
It's an unwritten rule - maybe even a written rule - that columnists shouldn't write about other columnists, let alone columnists in the same paper. But there were a couple of examples in last week's NS that I couldn't resist.
There will be a Cabinet reshuffle in July, senior ministers believe. But it will not affect the big names, only figures "on the fringe".
Welcome, Leo. You've given everyone something to smile about.
Have you heard of MP3? Do you have an MP3 program? Do you have an MP3 player? Have you already stopped reading this column and turned the page?
Hark! Listen to the sound of hammer and chisel: there is someone chipping away at an ivory tower. It's music to liberal ears - and the prelude to a transformation of Oxford as we know it.
I arrived in Trinidad full of expectation. It is the land of my birth, but it is not my home. I haven't actually lived there for about 40 years. I have travelled to and fro, spent extended periods there, and have maintained family relations and friendships.
Few sights are more pathetic, in the true sense of the word, than Tony Blair frantically riffling back and forth through his waffle book at Prime Minister's Questions. Head down, balding crown to camera, he searches for an answer, any answer, to put William Hague over a barrel.
It's a simple enough voicemail, but it takes me the best part of three days to ring back.
As I'm passing his desk on the sixth floor of Broadcasting House, Mike Garland turns and wiggles a finger at me. Only when I'm crouched by his side does he whisper his bit of news: "Roger's gone into hospital."
Of course, it isn't true that Downing Street is a nest of control freaks. They don't tell ministers to whom they can speak and what they can say. So they keep telling us.
When non-fiction books die - that is, when they are proved wrong, superseded, rendered irrelevant - the overwhelming majority just disappear into the oblivion of second-hand books and one copy in the British Library. But a few get a strange new life.
The mistress is taking on the wife in an office near you. Before you rush to buy ringside tickets, I should make it clear that this is not about a cat fight that risks overturning the chairs in the boardroom, or an expletive-packed shouting match among the filing cabinets.
It is more than 25 years since I first came to Antigua. Political activism brought me here in the first place. The Caribbean then was a hive of freedom fighters. It seemed that anyone who was able to string two words together - black and power - qualified for the title "black activist".
This month, two extraordinary men came to London and spoke about a silent holocaust, and not a word of what they said was reported.
The French and the Portuguese got out; but the British stay, trying to forget the murderous acts of
I am off to the Caribbean, there to make the sequel to the White Tribe, my three-part documentary series on the English, which was broadcast on Channel 4 earlier this year. At the end of it, I declared myself an Englander of Caribbean origin.
I'm increasingly concerned about my callous attitude towards other people's avowed depression.
Normally, I would hesitate to make assumptions about an election that takes place the day after the NS goes to press. But I think I can safely predict that, after the votes are counted, Frank Dobson will be in need of a job.
The other day, I was at a party after the screening of a film when I was introduced to one of the people involved in it. The conversation went something like this: "This is X, he was the penis?" "What?" "You know. The penis. On the slab." Then I remembered.
The news that Maeve Binchy, Britain's most popular female novelist, is to hang up her pen, has plunged me into despair. Binchy was no Tolstoy, but she served a key social role. She fought the conspiracy to make us, the female readers, feel hopelessly inadequate.
"How little things can make a big difference." This is the subtitle to the clever new bestseller across the Atlantic, The Tipping Point.
I attended the funeral of a very dear friend a few days ago. He had just turned 62, and had spent all his working life at British Rail and the Ford Motor Company.
Authoritative and avuncular, he was a symbol of a society at ease with itself - and the public can't
"We've recently tried a spot of S&M," said Mark with a sweep of the hand, which suggested that he'd been testing a new carpet cleaner rather than pushing back the barriers of erotic love. "Did it work?" wondered Claire. "It certainly freshened things up," Mark told us.
The Foreign Office continues to send out its standard dissembling letter on Iraq. Dozens of copies have been forwarded to me by members of the public bemused or angered by the contempt in which they are clearly held by the civil servants responsible.
Did you see the recent advertising campaign for IKEA which was based on the slogan, "Don't be so English"? What must have been especially galling for many people was that this slightly dismissive exhortation was coming not from Americans or Italians but from a Swedish company.

8' x 8' bathroom layout
I am building a new home and the guest bathroom has ended up as an 8' x 8' area. I am thinking of putting a walk-in shower rather than a tub/shower. Do any of you have ideas or suggestions of the arraignment for the shower, sink w/cabinet and toliet? Also, the door can be oriented (if you imagine the 8x8 square) on the east or south end of the square. Sorry I don't have a graph to show the layout I'm not very savvy with the programs that you use to draw.
My scanner/printer is not working..sorry...
pepperidge farm...i'm in the planning stages of the house so I guess to answer your question about where the exterior walls are ..if you can imagine an 8'x8' square the exterior walls would be on the south and east sides of the square..this is where the halls are. So therefore the door to the bathroom could be on the south end or the east side. I'm guess the wet walls would be on the north wall or west wall.
Hi niece,
I have a computer program that might help you visualize your bathroom. I drew an interior 8 x 8 room and put a standard toilet in and a 32" door. The vanity itself is 3'. The shower dimension drawn is 4' on the inside from N to S but 3'10" from W to E. You can perhaps use this to move things around and resize them the way you want. I'm trying to figure out how to post pics so I apologize if it doesn't work.
I've got a friend who remodeled an 8x8 bathroom and had a good layout. It had a door in the middle of the south wall, and when you walked in, a double sink was on the right, with the toilet at the north end. The tub/shower was on the left, with a linen cabinet at the north end, across from the toilet. There was a window in the center of the north wall.
a corner shower would work. I'm guessing which corner you meant swampwiz:)
There are alot of really good bathroom books if you go to Lowe's or Home Depot. I gained alot of info looking at pictures on the internet, in books and magazines. When I saw something I liked that I thought might work I put it in a project notebook:) Good luck and have fun.
thanks spacechallenged, weedyacres, swampwiz for your ideas!
spacechallenged...thanks so much for your drawings. I think I'm leaning towards your first drawing but one question where would you put the door for the shower? Or is it a walk in with no doors? I have concerns about the door placement in the 2nd and 3rd drawing, looks as though the door may "run in" to the cabinet. I'm thinking no tub either.
My DD thought I should make it an old fashioned type bathroom (our home is a farmhouse style) with a pedestal sink, armoire for a linen closet, not sure if it will all fit though. Any advice, suggestions, photos?
You're welcome. I enjoy doing stuff like this and glad if I can help somehow.
On the 1st drawing you could put the shower door on the toilet side wall, or you could use a curtain. It just happens that we have a bathroom like this with a curbless shower and shower curtain. The shower fixtures are on the south wall of our shower. Course, you could modify this and cut that corner off (the SE corner) and use that as your entry into the shower and move the plumbing fixtures...you could add a shower bench. There are really nice frameless glass shower doors that hinge on a wall.
Also, have you considered pocket doors for an entry door? A pocket door requires double the space of the door size to slide into a wall though so I don't know if that might work without knowing more details about your home plan. But you wouldn't have to worry about door swing then. About storage. You can have recessed cabinets. We are in the middle of a bathroom remodel that seems like it's been going on forever, but we are building a 2' by 4' tall recessed storage cabinet. It is standard 4" depth. We also built a double wall behind my vanity area so I can have an extra deep medicine cabinet. It will be 45" wide and 30" tall and we are putting an electric outlet inside for chargeable things like electric toothbrush, etc. There are lots of ways to get storage by using the space in the wall. I am also building a recessed tiled niche for 2 towel bars beside my storage cabinet. My bathroom is only 6' wide by almost 12': but no matter what size you can never have enough storage!:) I drew a few more drawings for you to consider. I put in a pedestal sink. It is 2'wide. There are multiple options if you want to put in a furniture type linen closet.
On the bottom drawing I put in 1' x 1' squares. Sorry if it makes it look confusing...
and one more.
What is right outside the bathroom? Is it a bathroom that will be used by the public? The whole family? Mostly one person?
- In general, having the toilet right in front of the door would be considered less attractive.
- Having the toilet partially shielded by the door, the shower or by a vanity side of half-wall is really nice if the bathroom opens onto a public area and someone might open the door by mistake.
- Generally, the sink/vanity and mirror is your most attractive view, so I'd try to place that directly opposite the door.
In the first layout, reversing the door swing would shield the toilet (and its occupant) from view by accidental door-openers. Of course, you'd need to cut the corner on the shower to make sure there's enough room for someone to step into the room easily and close the door.
In the first layout, the entry door is 32" wide. The toilet sits back 3' away from the door. A person standing on the outside opening the door couldn't see the toilet until they stepped in, but I guess if there were a large room outside, perhaps someone farther away might.
The point of the corner of the shower wall measures over 1'(the computer program measures 1'9") away from the middle of the door swing that is the closest to it. You can test to see how much room you need and where you normally would stand to close the door.
Our bathroom is a little larger and almost identical except our door is on the south wall in that right corner. It opens up where you see the toilet 1st and I agree it's better to see the sink when you open the door. The sink and toilet have about the same area of space. Ours was done in consideration of a future addition and that door will be changed to the way it is in the 1st drawing at that time.
Our bathroom is about 9x9 but our door is 36" and there isn't a problem. Our bathroom was designed to be wheelchair accessible.
sweeby....along the south wall and east wall are hall ways. So...the doorway could be located on the south or east wall. This will be a guest bathroom. I originally thought of putting the door on the east wall then as you you enter the door the sink would be immediately to the right then a half wall with the shower next to the sink on the west wall and the toliet on the southeast corner. I wish I could draw so that you could see, but maybe you can visualize..what do you think?
You could also do a layout like we just did for our master bath remodel, and fit in both a walk-in shower and a full tub. Ours is more like 9'x10', but the same layout would still work spaciously in 8'x8' using a standard 5' tub and a single sink vanity.
The toilet is not visible in the picture but just inside the door to the left. A knee wall at one end of the tub forms a side for the shower. The shower was supposed to be enclosed with glass at the knee wall and toilet (but with an open door), however it worked fine without the glass.
It's a bit like spacechallenged's 2nd drawing except with the toilet and tub swapped. The room feels spacious because the no solid internal walls divide up the shower/tub volume from the room.
The architect spec'ed a pocket door so it doesn't open into the room, though for a guest bath a normal hinged door would probably be better.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bath pic
I really like your bathroom layout.
Course, it's all just a matter of preference, but these open bathrooms not only appear nice and spacious, but you can put so much more in the same square footage. Actual photos help so much more to get a realistic perspective.
How much room you need for storage in this bathroom? That's why I wondered what was on the other side of those walls.
With a pedestal sink you won't have any storage underneath the sink. I think I saw some pics of a pedestal sink with storage cabinets on each side somewhere on this site. Have you chosen a sink and do you know it's dimensions? You could also have an extra deep medicine cabinet above for some storage. How big does your shower need to be, how much room for the sink area, etc. You mentioned a free standing cabinet...do you know what size it needs to be?
Once you have those dimensions, you can plan your bath. Use something like this drawing. You can draw it out if you don't have a printer. Use a ruler to draw the squares and move things around and decide how much each area of your bathroom needs. Decide if you need a door that hinges or you could use a pocket door and how large you want the door to be. Best of luck:)
