Folks,

Just bought a house recently and now am planning to do some
modifications. Can't afford to hire a contractor although am willing to
spend week end times or more myself.

Two jobs are there which I am considering:

(1) Create a new bath room. - I know this could be difficult and not
wise to do everything by myself, without plumber help. I just want to
minimize the plumber help and of course the money. May be I can install
the walls myself, may be floors too? may be paint it? install counter
tops, sinks etc?

Anyone did it by yourself? Any tips, helpful web sites? What r the
things I can do alone? and what I need help of plumber?

(2) Repositioning a door in an outer wall from kitchen to utilize the
space better. I just want to remove the door from current position and
install in a newer location so that the traffic flow does not obstruct
kitchen activities.

Please help if some one passed through similar experience... will
really appreciate it.

I am not that good at wood working but know the basics.

Thanks and regards,
D J
