Location: Upper Left USA | I have this simple little Bathroom project off of the room I have the guitars, PC, bins of stuff, etc.
Rip out, redo.
It was supposed to be done by Christmas according to the Contractor. Besides sharing the other bath I have had restricted access to my guitars and stuff.
The upside is that the acoustics are great!

While you're waiting run a mic in there and record something.
Think you'll beat Al's remodeling project? |

Location: Upper Left USA | I haven't laid tile before but after watching I'll probably give it a try on the next bathroom.
And not soon! |

Location: Omaha, NE | I did a complete tear-out/re-build job on a bathroom last year. PITA. Not sure I'd do it again.
I agree on the tile saw: Get a BIG ONE! Mine was too small for my tiles and it made the job way harder than it needed to be. |

Location: Marlton, NJ | Here's another reason for the big tile saw:
I did my kitchen floor with oversize tile (I believe they were 16 inches). The problem is that I did them diagonally. Even with the biggest saw they had, I had to make alot of cut by eye without the guides. |
