Any new basement bathroom/laundry room experience?

Howdy neighbors, it is finally time for a second bathroom.

Our only space is a 10" x 10" basement option sharing laundry and a future
3/4 bath. Mix in the base of the chimney, part of the water heater bumping
into the space, the fuse box, fiber modem and router, and some ceiling
venting and it is a bit of a puzzle. Luckily we have an unusually tall
basement ceiling.

Has anyone here done a similar project?

Who helped you with floor plans and design?

Any recommendations on who to hire in the neighborhood for all or parts of
the construction? (We are exploring what we can do to coordinate this
versus someone who might play that role or do most of the jobs with
subcontractors.)

Thanks,
Steve

Hi, Steve. I remodeled my small (about 5 X 7 ft) bath about 5 yrs ago.
Here is some info from the job. I wanted to buy my own tile rather than
take the contractors offer of a "tile allowance."

If you would like my sketch of the finished bath (which I did after looking
at about 800 photos from the houzz site and before actually starting the
remodel job) let me know.

Hi, Steve. I noted that in my previous email I accidentally typed 800
instead of 80 - looked at about 80 Houzz photos - not 800! 😱
I was going to add, you said you have high ceilings, so you have more
options for creative lighting fixtures.
Good luck with your remodel.
