I own a 54 year old house in Los angeles and I want to convert my 1/2
bath to a 3/4 bath by adding an upright shower. The room is "L" shaped
with a toilet at one end of the "L" and a sink at the other. The idea
is to make the room square by demo'ing the closet that makes the room
"L" shaped. I have very little experience but a lot of guts. I have a
professional who will hang the drywall after I am done installing the
shower. My biggest concern is tapping into the existing plumbing. My
plumbing questions a What supplies will I need? How difficult is
this project? How do I do it?
Thank you,

Go down to your local library and spend the next two weeks reading
every DIY plumbing they have. Make a rough sketch of your project and
get an estimate from a reliable plumbing contractor. With your new
knowledge you will be able to understand that determination is 10% and
skill is 90% of what you need done. Spend some of the time you would
have used for the project on rounding up financing, if you need it, to
pay the professionals. Use the rest of the time observing and learning
from the pros as they work. IMHO this will be the best use of your
resources to get a good job done. Good luck.
