Of the items given...

1. Redo shower/tub. Any remodel work here will likely affect the
surrounding paint and flooring. Best to take care of this first.

2. Paint. It is easier to paint before the cabinets are in the way and so
you don't have to worry about drips on new floors.

3. Flooring. With the tub installed and the painting done, you can easily
lay the floor without worrying about drips or obstructions.

4. Cabinets/counters. With the paint and flooring done, it will be
easy to
install the cabinets.


I might wonder what *sort* of flooring is going in. E.g., with ceramic
tile, often want the cabinets to sit on the "subfloor" and not the tile
so you'd install them and then tile *to* them (instead of tiling UNDER
them).

At least that's the order I would do them.




No the cabinet should sit on the tile not the subfloor. What if the
cabinet would need changed out? Then you would need to redo the floor as
well.

Absolutely 100% correct.
