I’m calling this post my quote. I think it will be an interesting test to see how close we end up in comparison to expectations.

Demo

• Remove old tile and backboard down to the studs, go all the way to the ceiling
• Remove old tub and disassemble fixtures and drain
• Remove old flooring
• Pull existing baseboards
• Toilet and sink cabinet removed at a later date

Install

• New tub and drain
• Access panel behind drain (current CA plumbing code)
• Backer board shower surround (1/2 inch), include vapor barrier
• New copper pipe and faucets as needed, no change to shower height
• Tile tub
• Backer board floor
• Tile floor

An inquisitive person reading this is probably thinking, what about the painting, how about the sink, are you going to change the medicine cabinet and mirror? Frankly, I don’t know. For now, I’m going to treat it as a separate project even though it will take longer over all to get everything done.
