This list doesn't include the extra items that we purchased as part of the renovation.  There was the cement board for the shower walls and the floor, waterproofing for the shower, caulking, grout, thinset, tile saw, paint, etc. 

We learned a few money saving tips along the way.  Lowes credit card holders save 5% off purchases all the time.  Occasionally, they will also mail out coupons for $25 off a purchase of $250 or more.  Menards runs their 11% off rebate offer about once per month.  If you purchase something from Menards on a Saturday and see the next day they are running the 11% off sale, ask about getting the rebate offer.  This is how we ended up getting 11% off of our garage door.  Watch sales; they generally rotate and if you miss a sale on an item, it will probably go on sale again in a couple of weeks.  Plan ahead and shop online.  We were able to purchase our fixtures from Amazon, which saved us a ton of money.    

I know by doing the project ourselves, our timeline for completing the project was expanded.  However, the money we saved in the end by doing it ourselves, with a little help from some family and friends, was worth it.  Luckily, we had a second full bathroom we were able to use while ours was under construction.  It is nice to have a functioning master bathroom again and not worry about water pouring through our kitchen ceiling from the shower above.  We have learned a lot during this renovation and are already planning the renovation for the guest bathroom.  We have a few years to plan that one out though!
