So, Jan and I would really like to put some tile in our two bathrooms.  There has been much thought and discussion about this and we are still undecided on whether or not we will pursue this. 

Here's the facts: 

- We don't want to hire a contractor to do it because we don't want to sink that much money into the project.

- Since they are on a second level, it will be much more difficult (and possibly more expensive) if we do it because we might have to install some backer flooring for a more even surface.  This is assuming we do it ourselves.

- I've got a couple of friends (Rob and Jeff Chambers) that have offered to lend their hands to the project if we decide to do it.

- We currently have carpet in the bathrooms.

- My know-how is limited in this area.

- We don't want to pour much more money into this place because we don't plan on being here after the next couple of years. 

So, there's the facts that we're working with.  Does anyone out there have an opinion about what the Wilsons should do?  Should we tile or not?  If so, do we outsource or not?  I'd be especially interested to hear from those that have done this sort of thing before.  Thanks!
