Ol' Man River. For other uses, see Old Man River. Ol' Man River (music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II) is a song in the 1927 musical Show Boat that contrasts the struggles and hardships of African Americans with the endless, uncaring flow of the Mississippi River.
I was always under the impression that a toilet door could not open into a kitchen and you would need some sort of lobby area and two doors dividing the two rooms.y neighbours still have a downstairs bathroom, off the kitchen, but the toilet is in a seperate little room in the kitchen, because this is how the house was built in the 40's/50's.
With toilets, the rough-in dimension, the shape of the seat (rounded or elongated) and tank design (one- or two-piece) all determine how much space a toilet will take up. The rough-in is the distance from the wall to the center of the closet bend (toilet drain) in the floor. Most newer homes have a 12-inch rough-in; older homes having a 10- or 14-inch measure. Naturally, the closer the toilet is to the wall, the less space it takes up. Kerr often calls for smaller fixtures in older homes where the rough-in is 10 inches and the toilet is centered in a 28-inch rather than a 30-inch space along the wall.
