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.
In addition to requiring clear floor space in front of the toilet, building code and accepted rules of bathroom design outlined by the National Kitchen and Bath Association also require space on each side of the toilet. To pass code, the toilet needs a minimum of 30 inches of space to sit in by itself. This means that if you drew a line down the center of the toilet, 15 inches out to each side from this line must be clear with no wall or other fixture entering the space. If you have the room in your small bathroom, however, NKBA guidelines recommend 36 inches of space for greater comfort for the user.
