[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Learn renovation. Learn to do it yourself. YouTube videos are your friend here. That's what we did, and it saved us thousands of dollars. Then again, my husband is a renovation perfectionist who made sure every re-built floor and wall was solid enough to stand up to a tornado, so we might be an exception.

But you can certainly teach yourself how to paint a wall (hint: prepping to paint is 90% of the work, the actual painting is 10%), take down wallpaper, replace a light fixture or faucet, and put up new light switches and outlet covers. Go learn. [/quote]

NP that's not what OP is asking for. She wants the tub GONE and replaced with a nice freestanding tub. This is not an easy DIY at all. Pretty sure she's not asking how to replace a light fixture, which is very easy.

I too have a jacuzzi corner tub with a plant shelf and so.much.tile. We are saving to renovate. Our shower is tiny and our tub is large. We want to move the tub to the wall (not the corner) and make the shower larger. There's a lot of plumbing work to remove jacuzzis too and likely drains will have to move. I have a huge bathroom. The tile is also mudset, so it's extremely difficult to remove. We had to jackhammer it out of the other bathroom, so I'm sure this is the same. And then there's terrible 90s soffets over our sinks so that's more drywall work... We are very handy, but that's a large, expensive job that involves removing everything and taking everything down to the studs. Neighbors spent 45k on theirs (and it's not fancy), but I think we could do it for 15k if we're very frugal and only hire out the countertops. [/quote]
