I sure could use some help with the steps I need to take to remodel my bathroom. I would like to do a majority of the work myself, but I do not know which steps to take first – can someone list my items in the order they should be done? I would really appreciate the help, as I am not finding the entire process in any video or online.
1) Replace old iron plumbing throughout bathroom
2) Install new Jacuzzi tub
3) replace toilet (this is what actually started this whole remodel project)
4) replace cabinet sink with pedestal sink
5) Install new tile on floor (there is currently old linoleum over original hexagon tile)
6) Install new tile on shower walls (Shower area has a regular sized window in it. I would like to remove the wood frame around the window and replace it with tile.)
7) Install new tile to wainscoting level around entire bathroom.
8) Install two recessed cabinets over toilet and pedestal sink which are side by side
9) Move lightswitch from hallway into bathroom by sink and door
10) Replace old ceiling fan
11) Install radiant heat flooring.
Other info: The walls are lath (?) and plaster, and I currently do not have any recessed cabinets in the bathroom so I will be cutting into walls (above existing sink and toilet) . The bathtub was not originally meant to have a shower in it, which it has now, and the plaster has gotten wet and has some small cracks in it. The bathroom area is small - including the bathtub, it is 8’x6’. My house is a 1925 Dutch colonial. It still has the original iron piping. Oh, and the toilet had been moved at one time, because next to it is about a 4" wide pipe with a one inch square bolt sticking up from the floor. . . not sure how to get that out of there . . .
Thanks to anyone who can help!
