We are planning to renovate our 25 yr. old master bathroom. The bath tub plumbing wall backs onto a two-storey-high open foyer wall, making it unfeasible to work on it from there. We're anxious to get going on the project but this is our only (so far!) stumbling block.
Answer:
You shouldn't have to have anything to do with the open foyer. All the work can be done from inside the bathroom so you're all set to go.
