How much.....
Seriously.
How much to demo a bathroom?
Small bath 4x10...
....1st flr
....1/2 tile walls embedded in like an inch of cement [house was built in 1950]
....full tile floor
....toilet and sink removed by me, tub to remain [tentatively]
...down to the studs.
Let the beating commence

Depends...ceramic tiles or porcelain?
Down to studs? How big are the studs?
Bathtub to be left? Steel or acrylic?
Sub-floor....regular plywood or special plywood?
Inch of cement? What's the mpa?
Does the door to the bathroom open in or open out?
How many times a day was the toilet flushed...on average?
Answer those, and I'll give you a ballpark.

Believe it not...money....and then beer...if the weather holds out, we could even fire up the grill. It was 64° today  ....should have been in the teens.
I've got a couple of weeks before D-Day...and calling contractors at 9:00PM probably isn't the best idea ...like asking "How Much..." here is a good idea

I'll do it for $303,000.00. 
Who has a 4x10?
I've seen 5x10, 5x8, 7x10, etc.
How the hell do you have clearance in there?

Easy big fella ~ I'm married....find your own date for Saturday
Bathtub to be left? Steel or acrylic?
Straight and cast
Sub-floor....regular plywood or special plywood?
Irregular T & G
Inch of cement? What's the mpa?
What's the mpa with YOU!
Does the door to the bathroom open in or open out?
Depends on which side of the door you use
How many times a day was the toilet flushed...on average?
With 2 small kids....a conservative estimate...about 1000x daily
Answer those, and I'll give you a ballpark.

If it's too complicated to come up with a dollar figure, you use man hours.
