Nadia asked:
We have a small bathroom downstairs. Our upstairs is nothing but an open palate with framing only on the outside walls. We would love to have a new bathroom roughed-in. Could someone who knows, give me a idea of the cost?

I realize the details are sketchy but we would like an idea of the cost. We will be getting someone to come in and give us ideas too. Tell me what you know. Thanks!

I see all these sites online saying to budget no less than 12K even if you do it all yourself…. So if I pay 1K for the shower and another 500 for the toilet and 500 for the sink — that is only 2K! Where are people spending a minimum of another 10K? Even if I hire out the plumbing for about 2K, I am still only estimating 4K. Someone help me fill in the blanks?
More Details: I am adding a new bathroom to an existing huge laundry room. The space for the bathroom part is 8×12 ft. There is already basic plumbing in the area because of the washing machine plumbing and drain stuff in the room already. House is one of the old type with a crawl space underneath which makes adding on to the plumbing a bit easier I hope. Also have basic electrical and a father in law who is an electrical engineer so that part will be cheap. We want the most basic of a bathrooms as we will only be in this house 2 and a half years longer. We just need another so we aren’t always fighting for the bathroom in the morning! Thanks!
