Translating for folks not natively familiar with millimeters - this is 25cm, or about ~10 inches.

Doesn't sound like a lot, but you're losing a foot and a half across a dimension of a house. That's very easily into the "Bathtub doesn't fit" territory.



The kicker is "on each side".

So the house is now [50cm | half a metre | 20 inches] shorter length overall in "both" commonly rectangular dimensions.

Take any room in your house and remove that much from it and tell me it doesn't detract from the room....


It's probably the thickness of the foundation wall.
