Hi All,
I'm remodeling one of my bathrooms, and currently drawing up my detailed plan of work. Demolition at least is complete. I've seen a number of these threads, but they have varying levels of detail, and often have slightly different goals than me.
First, a description of the project. Installing a new tub, tiled surround up to ceiling (well, crown), tiled floor. Bath surround will be water proofed with redgard. On the non-shower walls will be beadboard up to 2/3 height. There will be crown around all walls (including bath/shower area). IKEA vanity and sinks, which require very particular plumbing. Replacing drywall and insulation on outer wall. I pulled down popcorn ceiling, so the ceiling needs patching and painting.
I figured out the order below based on minimizing both the work and risk of damage and/or paint splatter on the tiled floor. The one confusing bit was whether to do the trim before or after the floor. Doing it before means less chance of damage, but makes the floor install harder. Anyway, here goes, let me know if you see any problems:
Extend toilet supply pipe, install valve
Cut back sink supply pipes, install valves
Cut back sink waste pipes, install 90s to accommodate IKEA P-traps
