Not quite 3000 if you have internal stairs (only count that sq ft once)... and if you have external stairs have you considered a duplex?

Building a wall and door to enclose the duct work and Hot Water Heaters - $1675Move the hot water heaters from under stairs to new room - $1265Move the washer/dryer from the laundry room under the stairs for tenant upstairs - (cutting concrete to move drain lines and installing new 220 outlet) - $3,520Remove wall in laundry. take out current door and add another door - reframe, sheetrock, - $4,180Create new bathroom with washer/dryer added, new shower/tub, new vanity, new toilet - $7150New kitchen cabinets and countertops - $4,290Move stove - new outlet - $675Replace bedroom ceiling - $715Replace pocket door in bedroom - $300Create master walk-in closet off current bedroom - $775Paint entire unit - $1300This includes labor and materials.

A cement or heavy wooden cover has always worked for me without the need to actually fill it in....but if you want to completely eliminate any risk filling it in is the only way to do that.

The category contains Vanity/mirror/Vanity top, Faucet/connections/trap, Bathtub, Diverter, Cement Board, Shower Tile, Accent Tile, Flooring, Tile Setting and Waterproofing, Fan/light, Vanity Light, Toilet/connections and Misc.My example house I carried $1,135.00… WAIT, just over $1,000 for a bathroom remodel.

Are you hiring it out or doing it yourself.The cost of doing it yourself is a couple of cinder blocks and cement.

It is comparable in square footage but does not have the basement or washer/dryer hook ups, plus one of the bedrooms is upstairs (very narrow stairs and steep ceiling angles in that bedroom).

Unless she has her device surrounded by cement or metal walls, there shouldn't be an issue.

We just had the same leak occur at the poured wall/cement flooring joint (built 1978).

Also, $8500 to paint stairs?
