Well I am not a do it yourselfer in the plumbing area but I have done lots of other types of things myself and have watched hubby work on plumbing and he isn't even a plumber by trade. I don't know anything about toilets although hubby insisted when we re-did our powder room that we put in a Kohler toilet. We did everything to the walls and floor before putting the toilet and sink back. It was messy for a while but I love it now.

Next I want to tackle the upstairs bathroom. That will involve a new tub surround so it will be much more extensive and won't happen for quite some time I'm afraid. I told hubby I wanted ceramic tile flooring in that bathroom and he feels that ceramic tile shouldn't be done except on concrete such as a home built on a concrete slab. He said it is too much weight for an upstairs bathroom. I think he is trying to find a way to discourage my project.

I would love to see *before* and *after* pictures of your bathroom. All of my favorite shows are on HGTV so I am sort of a nut when it comes to remodeling.
