Our weekend bathroom remodeling project is now at Day five, with no end in sight. My rule of thumb for home improvement projects is 'double the money and triple the time' you expect to spend.  Now, those targets seem like wishful thinking.

Replumbing and connecting the new waste overflow was a nightmare. So was running electrical wire through the crawlspace to the other end of the house to install a new breaker on the panel box. Squeezing the new tub into its space proved equally problematic even though we'd measured several times to make sure we had enough room.  

In the midst of all of this, our hot water heater has gone on the fritz and provides lukewarm water for about three minutes before going stone cold. But considering there are five of us sharing one bathroom with one shower, no one is taking long leisurely showers anyway.
