Wow - that idea gives me a headache just thinking about it! There is so much involved you should really start a separate thread under this forum - maybe label it something like "Bathroom Redo" - and if possible show a "before" picture. Are you planning to do the work yourself? I had a plumber in several weeks ago to replace the toilet tank innards in both bathrooms and the bill was over $700. Yuska

Davart, you might want to post your project in the Construction Zone forum: [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] - it's geared toward major remodeling jobs, rather than minor home repairs ;o)

It was a joke people ... I remodel/gut/re-do/ house for a living. I just wanted to get the forum going. So for me it's not a project it's a job ... LOL it's day in day out.

Gee, I thought something was going on here.
I'm an interior painter, Plain or Faux.
Maybe we could turn this into "Ask a Trades Person" forum.

Just recently painted 3 rooms: one cranberry; one light gold; one medium blue. The cranberry room has all white woodwork for contrast. The gold is interesting when matching a wood blind, comforter, and woodwork. The blue is meant to give a section of the living/dining room an individual character.

One thing I did learn is color livens up pictures. In the living room the walls were linen and the picture matting the same. This made for a drab picture. Now with a blue, the pictures really stand out.

I was a home remodeler for over 20 years.
Asthma forced me to quit
Now im studying Network administration.
My Master skills were plastering, drywall hanging and finishing, painting and carpentry.
I do all my own work, electric and plumbing included.
$700.- to replace toilet hardware? e-gads! Were they gold plated parts?

I like the idea of ask a tradesperson forum! I always need advice from experts. :-)

wow.20 years!my hats off to you. whatever they paid you for the drywalling was worth it and then some. we remodeled our kitchen last year and because of that i detest drywall. i told my husband that whatever drywallers (dont know if thats the correct name) charge they are soooo worth it. i will never ever ever try drywalling again. love to set tile though.
