Wow, that's quite ambitious!

We gutted our 7x7 bathroom almost 2 years ago...and from gut to final paint it took about 4 (long) weeks. We had the contractor to contend with and his yahoo tilers and his completely incompetent plumber...then the tile was ordered wrong, so we waited on that, etc, etc.

Re: bathroom reno ?

Well, my bil, father and hubby are redoing our full bath right now. They can only work on it on the weekends, and they're anticipating it taking 4 weekends. One for demo (this past weekend), one for redoing the plumbing and electric, one for prepping or whatever and one for tiling.
So, 6 days or so.

Re: bathroom reno ?

At least one week and that's working everyday a full day.

My uncle did it for my sister.

You have to demo everything and clean up.

Then you have to install concrete boards for the tile (floor and around bath tub), drywall the rest of the walls, install the tub, sink and toilet, connect the faucets, install the til, calk, etc...

Oh and you have to paint too.

You need at least 1 day between laying the tile and doing the grout. Then you can't walk on it either for another day.

That's assuming you have all the parts (no waste going back and forth to the store) and everything goes smootly.

It all depends on your contractor. Mine said it would take 7 days but that was over a 3 week period.
