Here's some pictures of my basement where I want to put a bathroom in at some point. Since I can't even identify the types of plumbing pipes I have, and I'll be using a professional, I thought I'd run it past everyone here and see what kind of decisions I'll need to make, and what kind of price range to expect.

Going off the first photo (left to right) you have a 3" stack with a clean-out serving fixtures above the level photographed; a 2" line with a trap-arm ready for a vanity; a 3" line for placement of a toilet; and a drain pipe (1.5" ?) for your bath tub.
Price wise, I couldn't tell you with certainty what it would cost, but keeping it simple I believe a full, new bathroom runs about $8,000 to $10,000. The sky is the limit if you have expensive taste though.

I'll probably have to hold off on the bathroom plans then, we already have 2 bathrooms in the house and don't have a pressing need for a third. I'd rather work on finishing the main part of the basement, and set aside space for a guest bedroom and bath down the road.
