How to demolish and reconstruct a bathroom to be part of a bedroom?
First my husband and I are expecting a new family member in April 2015. We live in a 2bed/2bath home. The bathroom we want to demolish has always had issues (leaks, low flow, and poor ventilation)...
Since we are expecting another boy, we wanted to demolish the en-suite bathroom that is connected to the room, to add additional square feet to accompany our growing family... just to get a few more years out of our home.
Can someone give me an itemized list on steps to take for a DIY reno? My husband and I have done several reno projects throughout our home (tiling, painting, installing drywalling, and cabinents) and feel we are suited to do this without having to call in the big guys with over-inflated pricing. We need instructions on cap off water lines to removing s light switch. Thanks.
The bathroom is tiny... it only will add 24sq ft to the room, and has 3 parts to remove, shower/tub combo, sink and toilet.... we already know how to remove the wall and door.

Your renovation job is unique to your current set up and what you want/need to do to accomplish your goals. Moving plumbing is rather easy, but to move a toilet, that takes more experience.
Nonetheless, you can do this with the help of tutorials you can find on youtube.com and through books at your local library. There are tons of web sites that describe how to do specific things. So, so a google search to find out what you need to do and in what order to do it.
I can tell you one thing though, do not take the advise from employees at Lowes or Home Depot (sorry to the people who work there, no offense, really) because I have gotten really bad advise from those employees. So bad, that it made no real sense to me, so I did not take it. One employee tried to cell me cement in a tube to fill cracks between the wood floor and the baseboard. All I needed was regular caulking.
