We're in the process of looking for a house and one of the things that I really REALLY want is a full master ensuite. This way we won't have to share a tub with the University students we plan to rent rooms to! :)
However, I feel that to get the best deal we should be open to considering some of the houses that only have a two piece bath, but perhaps enough room to install a tub either in the bedroom (near the bathroom), or expand the bathroom, etc. You get the idea of what I'm talking about.
My question is, generally, is it a pain in the butt to add a tub into an existing home? This would be on a main floor, but there is a chance if there is a powder room in the basement and bedrooms there, we may need to add a shower or tub in the basement as well.
I tried searching the net but didn't really come up with anything useful. We wouldn't do the plumbing ourselves, but we would do a lot of the drywall, construction and any electrical that needs to be moved (hubbys an electrician but no plumber!), but the plumbing we would leave to a professional. We just want an idea of how big a job it is (in general, I know it depends on the situation).
Thanks in advance!! Shaynelle
