[quote bazookaman]Our bathroom is that size. It took a weekend + the week + multiple trips to the Home Depot. Not that there was that much work. But there were a lot of "surprises" that needed to be addressed that were not in my original scope.
We have spent the last several weekends going to Home Depot, Lowes, Expo design center, The Great Indoors (Sears) as well as our local Habitat for Humanity "ReStore" getting everything we should need. I forsee at least one trip to HD for some plumbing stuff, but luckily that is only 3 miles from the house.
I already have the medicine cabinet / mirror off and can see that the new one is about 4 inches taller but the same width, so I will have to cut the drywall up a few inches in between the studs and move the horizontal block up to fit, but that won't be too hard. Finally get to use my reciprocating saw! Interesting note- The stud wall behind the sink is actually made up of 2x6" studs, not 2x4. Must be a load bearing wall, although it is on the top floor... whatever.
