Which do you use on your sketch.

[J Grant]

2.1 baths for UAD compliance.
Buyers typically call it a half bath
RE agents describe it as a powder room, and then tack on 20k to the price.

On the sketch I spell it out, I think it's best to write half bathroom so there is no doubt, plus the report may be scrutinized by an AMC team leader or a Certified General and
I wouldn't want them confused.

What happened to the "powder room"?

What happened to the "powder room"?

Now that's funny. It reminds me of a guy in our fee shop who always used terms he considered "upper crust". For instance, he loved to use the term "water closet" whenever possible, he thought it added a certain dignity to his reports. I never reached that level of dignity and suppose I never will.

I'm obviously stuck in past times, maybe.
do you use 1/2 bath on drawing
or, do you use .1 bath

Thanks, with the new .1 bath, the other may be forgotten and not understood soon.

.1 bath on the grid, half bath on the sketch.

No competent reviewer would request a revision because of that.

Except for the one that said the grid shows 2.1 baths but the sketch and photos do not (They were labeled "lav")

You would be accused of bias. You are indicating the property owner does drugs.....

Just to funny, but you comedians are no help at all. I was just wandering if fannie/underwriters have a recognition program, to non human review sketch to match grid.
So, i'm still not sure if i want to do it differently, i say 1/2 bth. Yous were a help, kinda.

The reason it was called a powder room, being on the 1st floor typically the wife might do a last minute check to make sure she powder puffed herself correctly before leaving.

Obviously the 1.1 nomenclature does not translate into accurate math, hence you wouldn't use '0.1' to describe a half bath (that would be 1/10 of a bath, right?). Worst case, it would be '0.5', no? That said, until they ask me to change, it will be 1/2.
