how much did you spend renovating your bathroom?

I appear to have spent more than anyone else on this forum in renovating our bathroom and toilet but it was well worth it.  I could have scrounged around for cheaper materials, read books, got the cheapest quotes from electricians, plumbers etc, gone to handyman courses.  Instead I got topic quality fittings, tiled to the ceiling, hired the best tradesmen around and am very happy with the result even if it did cost me $24,000. 

As an investor, I  like to concentrate on more important things like negotiating a great deal, getting the best finance possible, buying in the best area possible and making sure that I've got the correct legal structure.  I hate getting my hands dirty so like to leave it to the experts.   Most of my handyman jobs have been a disaster so won't attempt them any more.

On a positive note – this spam just resurfaced an old thread that comes in handy for me :-) We’re just finishing off the design for a PPOR bathroom reno so good to get an idea of how much it can cost. I doubt I’ll get any change from $20k :-(

Wow $20k! For that price I can renovate your bathroom and send you on a trip to Europe. You need to get into DIY Jamie!

Haha – that’s the problem, I’m not the handiest guy and my time is probably better spent with a calculator rather than a hammer.

I’ll actually be in Europe while it’s being renovated :-)
