Has anyone done this? Was it relatively straightforward, or did it become a money pit? About how much did it cost? (I don't know if we're talking $7,500 or $17,500)

Any input from active/retired contractors is also appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Look for a house with a toilet room = small room with only the toilet and a door. Many models have them.
