Default Time to start on new bathroom

OK - reached the bathroom in the house i moved into 3 years ago -
Looking
for any tips and most of all the order in which to do things.
The walls and floors will all be tiled - taking off current tiles will
be a
pain but needs must -


If the house is reasonably modern some, at least, of the tiled walls
will be plasterboard. Removing the old tiles will wreck the plasterboard
completely. You have to bite the bullet and plan on removing these walls
completely back to the studding. You can replace the plasterboard and
re-tile easily.
Last year I started out trying to remove the old tiles carefully - it's
a waste of time - go for broke, it's a lot quicker in the end.
