Sliding Bathroom Door Mod - Ever Done?

[jadams]

Has anyone converted the bathroom door to a sliding door? Not a pocket door, just a simple exterior slider using hardware like this

Space is tight in a 17 with a 70 pound pup on the floor. A sliding door would resolve getting Chloe to move all the time.

I built a 8x12 shed from plans and installed a large exterior barn door using higher rated hardware like the above and I got thinking maybe I could use it on the bathroom door.

I'm okay with losing the space to the right of the door to hang or display anything. I'm okay with reducing the entrance to the bathroom by a couple inches, based on my measurements. I'm also okay with the depth of the box rail facia with thin oak cover I'd have to make.
