Good good overall online guide to creating a bathroom (framing, plumbing, electrical) from scratch?
On January - 11 - 2009
Just purchased new home with unfinished basement. I want to put in a new bathroom and recreation room, but have no experience with plumbing despite being an engineer. Thanks for any guides that are provided, and no I will not hire a contractor (I'm too cheap).

you would probably do better to seek out sites for each individual project…that is what my husband & I did & our bathroom turned out fantastic. Also, does the basement have a rough in for the plumbing? if not you will have to have that done for you.

No offense to you, but are you regulated by any code issues where you are? Obviously the job can be worked by a DIY, but I find Electricians and Plumbers to often be worth their weight in Gold Bullion.
Certainly framing in is likely the easier of any of the tasks, and any plumbing, electrical, and especially any fixtures might be best installed before any interior finish work, IE: a shower or tub. As one answer points out WHERE the drainage plumbing is currently located, will matter.
No sin in being frugal.
