There’s a bathtub in my living room
I raised the doorway no problem and then started in on the coat closet and realized the back wall seemed too shallow.
So I punched a hole (with a hammer) and discovered a bathtub!
No joke! “They” installed the shower/tub where you see the yellow line! I always wondered about the odd extra space between the toilet and shower/tub in that bathroom. I don’t get it.

LOL I have no idea. There’s plenty of room in the bathroom for it to be IN the bathroom not the living room. It’s definitely a “shake your head” moment!
There are already 3 bathrooms on this floor so I think we’re good. I don’t want to spend all my time cleaning bathrooms. LOL

LOL Sadly, I doubt there even was a conversation. Well, maybe, “Just put that tub there…we’ll put some walls in later”!
Sounds like a case of a contractor “making it fit”. And with the closet placed the way it is, no one would ever know/suspect what they’d done.. That is, until someone like you comes along and exposes their little “faux paux”.
