Yikes! Thanks, this is the kind of thing I needed to know.

There are some floor plans that are amenable to extending a short wall and adding a door. Others you could turn the toilet 90*, take out the linen closet, and enclose it.
But the one CV floorplan that would require swapping the toilet and shower are out now.

Thanks again for the reality check!
