Building a home from scratch can be easier than remodeling. That’s because there’s nothing to remove. Put up a wall, run the wiring and plumbing, cover the wall, install the fixtures, put on the finishing touches and you’re done. Remodeling an existing bathroom can mean removing the old stuff first: a wall, fixtures, cabinets, trim. Here are some tips on prepping for your remodel: * Make a plan for your remodel prep, listing out exactly what must be removed and when. * Work safely by making sure water and electricity are disconnected to the room you’re remodeling. * Dress for safety with eye and breathing protection when dust flies and appropriate clothing. * Hire or enlist help with tougher jobs like debris removal. * Don’t be afraid to ask for professional help if you get into a bind.
