[quote=Anonymous]I gutted a ~8x5 bathroom to the studs and redid the whole thing myself. You definitely need the right tools for the job (wet saw, rotary hammer, drill/impact driver, etc). I spent about 2k in tools and about 4k in materials for what have easily been a 20k job. Ended up looking better than it would have been for a 20k job. I'm an engineer and very handy. You can learn how to do almost anything you need to do on youtube, but its very time consuming. I overdid everything with the highest quality materials, attention to detail etc. Pulled the necessary permits and had the inspections done (~$300). It was honestly a labor of love and took many months start to finish to plan, purchase and execute. I wouldn't do it again. Demo is 1, maybe 2 days worth of work. You won't save any money doing that yourself. The shower/bath is the hardest thing to do, you won't save a lot by doing the 'other' things yourself which are relatively easy in comparison. [/quote]
