convert 2 closets into 1 bath. 3/1 becomes 1/2?
i have 1 bath house. i want to convert 2 closets and make house 2 bathroom. if rooms dont have closets they dont count as bedrooms. what qualifies as a closet? ie attach a small stand up storeage to the wall?
reason i want 2 bath is i think it will raise the value and havong only 1 bath is pretty obsolete. i do have basement i could put it in. but then i would need a pump to get toilet/shower to sewage line. input appreciated. what is the kowest cost anyone has been able to add shower and toilet and sink?

Without a closet, the bedrooms are now not legally considered bedrooms.
Your costs are impossible to estimate without first knowing how close supply and waste lines are to the closets.
To me, your trying to fix one issue by creating additional ones.
