I have a lot of unused space upstairs due to the steep pitch of the roof. I plan to eventually dormer/raise roof in back part of house to gain new living space for a full bath and potentially another bedroom, but the front of the house has 3 pitches which I do want to alter due to changing the look of the house from outside. I have walk-in closets that have been created out of the dormered space, but still have significant space left. The center of the "room" is not quite 6ft. Has anybody installed a bathroom in such a space or do you know where I could pictures/ideas of how to maximize the space that I do have (ie: shower only, or claw foot tub w/hand-held shower?).
 
Before you do any serious remodeling you will definitey need to get the buildings framing inspected. It must first be determined that and additions to the original framing will be structureally safe. This is not that much of a problem when it comes to addons for the first floor,,,but second floor addons are another matter. Many buildings are not sound enough to have another floor added on to them.
