As far as a $1,000 budget, I would probably do a few things:1) design and buy a back window sticker for your car (or tailgate of your truck) so when you’re driving around folks will see what you do (very cheap and effective advertising).

The question remains tho, what will you find when tearing out the drywall - is there more damage behind the enclosure, are the studs behind the wall in bad shape?

You might want to do an enclosure around the trash container.

For example, one GC has provided us with an estimate for the project, but it includes items like $22,000 for a trash enclosure, which is non-essential to me.The current rate for rebar enforced concrete slab is $13/sq ft per this GC.Building costs seem to be going up so fast that older posts on this topic seem already outdated and inaccurate.

You will also need to install a shower pan, a shower enclosure, and a showerhead.Kitchenette: To add a kitchenette, you will need to install plumbing lines to the location of the sink and any appliances you plan to include, such as a mini-fridge or microwave.

I would NEVER special order/ buy one smaller.Small people take baths/95 to 99 % adults take showers unless they grew up with or recently 'forced' to tub it.Make the shower,if thats what you have to do, as large as possible with a pan, then covered in river rock pebble floor,,,and ceramic tile the walls , over red guard,over cement board, over good insulation if its an outside wall,,,roxul is best, does NOT support mold like fiberglass,,,its spun from rocks.They also make a product you use INSTEAD of water when mixing your grout and its permanently sealed, forever,,,or use epoxy grout.Plastic or fiberglass enclosures are a joke and dont last from noon to dinner. crack, leak, get ruined often,,,are inferior product,,,and need special care, which renters dont EVER do.

Back in 2002, when I bought our primary residence, I hired a contractor to refinish both bathroom enclosures.

Many times, those 1-piece enclosures are installed BEFORE the framing of the house is even up.

He prepped the tile enclosures, filled holes from the old shower doors, patched gouges in the old finish and taped the walls, faucets, floor and baseboards.
