<prompt> Human: Basically I am trying to plan for a bathroom remodel. So far a lot of my other projects have ended up being off what I mentally expected and since this is the most extensive one I figured Id ask before I get blindsided during a walkthrough with a contractor and end up wasting someones time.Basically Ive got a small bathroom that pretty much needs to be gutted. When I say small I mean like 4x6, if even that. The scope of the project would be new drywall including cieling, new shower tile, waste height tile in the remainder of the room, tub removal install, new light fixture., new flooring. To save a little bit of money I plan to install the toilet, sink, trim and mirror myself.Materials I have priced out at 1k-1.5k depending what kind of tile I end up going with. Because of the size of the room I could easily see it being finished in less than 3 days.Mentally I am expecting around 2k for the labor. Is that at all reasonable? Ive heard labor is usually 23 the cost of the project and with my supplies hitting around 1k I felt like I was being generous. But then I google and see ridiculous estimates saying 10k low end for a full gut like this. I dont want to waste a contractors time so Id rather know in advance what to expect for this sort of thing.  <response>: you are not wasting a contractors time...thats exactly what they do..get bids for jobs, then come out and give you an estimate, then its your choice to get more quotes from other companies, or if you liked the first quote, purchase. this is standard operating procedure. and I advise not to buy or contract the very first estimate...get more than 1 quote.
