On to the next item of the remodel saga. I'm completing the layout for the master bedroom/closet/bathroom. As you'll see from the rough print I created, If I center the shower valve, it would result in it being at the dead center of the intersecting wall between the bathroom and walk-in closet. My concern is if any service of the valve is needed it would have to be from the shower side. I have a little latitude to "narrow" the closet and move that wall a few inches, but it really won't result in the valve being fully accessible from the bathroom wall side if ever needed. The options as I see them:
1) Center the valve and stop fussing over it
2) Offset the valve closer to the shower door so that it is safely between a stud space (Not preferable from an aesthetic standpoint)
3) Narrow the closet a little by shifting the wall (I could only gain about 3 to 4" max in order to maintain the closet shelving layout. So one side of the valve would still be fully inaccessible from the back).
Am I missing an option? As always, any thoughts provided are very much appreciated. Thanks!
