Yeah what's the need of a USB charger in the bathroom anyway? I put GFCI outlets with built-in nite lite into my bathrooms

Everything looks good enough to sell, but not for long term 6+ months living. I am landlord and I did the whole tub paint, designer glass thing bc I cheaper out. It does not last. Particle board furniture in a restroom will not last. After doing one restroom reno for 1000 grand and less, I end up spending 10k getting the titles for the floor, real tub replacement, and metal+wood furniture. This restroom is for staging and not for living. Storage is everything and in a restroom? More drawers and larger medicine cabinet is better.

We have tub paint in our kids bathroom and 7 years later it's held up well.

I suggest synthetic baseboard trim. Water on the floor is inevitable.

You smoothed all the walls then added texture….no! It’s so much more high end to just smooth out the skim coat….people pay big money to skim coat over orange peel texture……

Great job! Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. Double vanity was the way to go. Really love the mirror. That’s a perfect high end piece. Happy you didn’t go all out on the bath tub fixtures. Those are nice, but people need to be reminded to match the price point of the home they’re selling.

Hello Mike, I hope this message finds you well. It has been six months since your last email regarding our processing collaboration for three products: a kitchen sink (installed in your kitchen apparently), a bathroom faucet, and a shower system, all valued at up to $1300 USD. Despite sending several follow-up emails, we have not received a response from you. We recently sent a final reminder email and am eagerly awaiting your reply. Could you please update us on the status of our collaboration and let me know how we can proceed? Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Lefton.

Using tub and tile refinish is a great way to be disappointed in several months after using the shower. If anyone ever wants to do this, I recommend getting porcelain/tile sander and getting the finish off the tub before adding this new finish. Otherwise the paint won't have anything to really stick to and will eventually peal off and you'll need a new tub.

@leslieollerhead1114

The instructions even mentiom a good cleaning and sanding before painting tub and surround, as well as sanding between coats.

For future reference, in a bathroom the drywall you would want to install is greenboard (moisture resistant), or purpleboard (moisture and mold resistant).

Well actually you don't want to save just a few bucks for the difference and assure the thing with green drywall 👌 You shouldn't have problem if the room is well ventilated

I prefer showers to have a hose attachment instead of one shower head. The hose attachment is great when cleaning the walls / tub as well as rinsing the soap out of our naughty bits.

@katanyajason3316

6 күн бұрын

I agree, however you can get them with both shower head and hose.

Not using moisture and mold resistant drywall in a bathroom is decidedly NOT superpro.

I used the plastic resin type moulding in my bathroom. Unless you’re up close nosey you can’t tell and it will never soak up water if there is a leak. I think this is my favorite part of the reno so far.

It looks nice, but I think it's too small of a bathroom to have a 2-sink vanity. I would have opted for more counter space and one sink.

GFCI!!!!!! That outlet you installed is less than 3 feet from the faucet. Therefore, it MUST be GFCI protected!!

A window in the shower area is never a good idea. Have seen to much water damage to windows.Maybe a narrow window at the top is better? Just a suggestion. Also double sink is nice but no counter space for enevitable stuff.

Definitely a budget flip and good enough to move in and change stuff later (shower surround (80s), orange peel (cheap motels), MDF (not water friendly), grey toned flooring (great option 5 years ago but on the way out),... but it looks a hell of a lot better! I am happy you didn't jump on the every-fixture-black wagon. Great instruction as usual.

I like the attention to detail especially in the USBA/USBC port on the wall, but the faucets that you got for the sink have a major design flaw most faucets do, it crowds your hands at the top of the sink and doesn't let you use the full bowl of the sink, it's a pet peeve of mine but I hate having a gigantic sink and a little 3x3 square where my water will hit my hands

@iamallaboutfood7242

For real, this is such a big pet peeve for me as well. Often, I put my hand under the tap and the water actually ends up behind the sink because the faucet is so small

Depending where the house is, you may have gotten more than 10K in equity. Bathroom remodels are one of the highest ROIs when selling a house. You did a fantastic job, and who ever buys this will be stoked about it. Other thoughts regarding the build: - Thanks for showing the texture sprayer! I didn't know about those, and am excited about their potential. - Matte black fixtures would have been a more modern look with the white paint and the natural wood tone of the vanity. Nickel finishes are an early 2000s style. - Why did you use a roller for the bathtub refinish kit instead of the airless sprayer we saw in earlier shots? Would have reduced the risk of seeing roller lines. - Gray vinyl planking is not modern, and is already on its way out. Why not use choose a brighter natural wood tone like the vanity?

The vanity is cute, but cleaning will be a nightmare. Everything from hair products, dust, etc will get in those grooves.

So you are going to work more on that same house where you upgraded the front porch. Glad to see more about it. Very modern and clean lined bathroom. Blessings from central Georgia.

Texturing the wall is a mistake

You did an amazing job on this. Night and day difference. Not just looks great, but is more functional and feels larger with all extra light.

Loving the aesthetics of this bathroom and your kitchen island; they look cohesive together! Also, I enjoy watching how you install even the littlest things- like the towel holder as I’ve always been intrigued how some things were screwed or glued on, etc., so as a sometime-DIYer-fixer myself- it’s great to learn! I love the white and wood tones all around! 👏🏼

Why not insulate for sound-proofing while the walls are open?

Great job Mike! It’s so clean and bright! ❤

Looks great! Personally, I would’ve done only one sink so there’s more counter space!

The bathroom redo is stunning

...interesting. Why is the door so small? Should have seen if you could have made it wider. Why didn't you paint the contractor door? Where's the GFCI outlet?

Wow! Went to a tile store today and I'm still getting over the sticker shock! We have a 60's era condo to flip and the bathroom is a crime scene.😆Your suggestions and demos could not be more timely. Would never have considered painting the sheet tile in our tub surround, but the results you achieved here (and the savings!) have made me a believer. Learned so much. I'm you new sub!

I agree with what you said during are saying previous bathroom remodel, white feels sterile but in a bathroom it should feel clean

You are truly creative.. I loved how the walls were sanded and painted in an excellent manner, more than the companies we ask for to paint the house... and the white color has a more beautiful appearance and gives more space. Keep going 👍👍✅️

absolutely beautiful! great work!!!!!

Wow, it looks amazing!

Rocker switch for the light switch with the same faceplate as the outlet. As far as door handles, levers are more useful if you have your hands full. No single to double sink install clips?

Nice job and such a positive attitude!!!! Sending all good vibes from Ohio!!!🎉😊

I have also learned the lesson that repairing drywall is often much harder and takes more time than just gutting and replacing all of it. Although, the disposal costs, cost of new drywall and fasteners, etc. does add up.

Very nice update!

Mad skills! Love the vanity and I learned something new watching this video. Who knew that you could spray soapy water on caulk to spread it evenly without a mess?

Very fresh!! Such a good idea to pull out that "privacy" wall. My only constructive criticisms are the tension shower rod and the vanity. There's no reason not to use screw-in shower rod, so it's not constantly creeping down to the top of the surround or getting pulled down by accident. It's a small point of quality that makes a big difference. And the horizontal vanity slats are cool looking but will be an utter nightmare to keep clean. As a buyer or renter, I would replace it immediately, which would be a sad waste of resources.

Great job!

You did a nice job although I would’ve loved to see you build the vanity using the one you bought as inspiration. But I get it, there’s a lot of work to be done. You did a wonderful job cleaning up that bathroom and making it tasteful and ready to use! One thing to heed, I live in my 1970’s house. I’ve had a lot of renovations done to it which I prefer rather than buy new anyways and I love mid century homes although mine didn’t have the character one would hope for. Anyways I finally had my upstairs bathroom renovated and I’m grateful I did. I had the original heavy tub and fortunately I chose to remove mine because when the guys pulled it out and then inspected the flooring beneath they realized the floor had bowed but not due to water damage. It was due to the original contractor installing 1/4” plywood as the base. I don’t know how all these decades and years it didn’t crash through the floor and into the basement. All the times I had bathed my dogs and when my family would stay over and use the shower… anyways that was frightening and for damn good reason so just some food for thought about keeping the original tub without inspecting first.

Love what you did with the floor. Did something similar in my bathroom

Brilliant!

you should have used water resistant drywall in the bathroom no? it's not that much more expensive and helps a lot with future proofing also, in the doors, maybe there it's not a real issue with climate, but for sure use foam before trim if you live in a cold spot for insulation :DDD

@ minimal change. Use an energy modeling software and you’ll see. The total surface area that takes up in relation to the total surface area of the bathroom is negligible.

Your buddy Andy should’ve told you that you have to use GFCI electric outlets near kitchen and bath sinks and tubs.

Pit some silicone on the bottom of the toilet, or go to Temu and buy the special 3m seal that wraps around. It looks beautiful and keeps out the water.

Previous home owner spent a fortune texturing the ceilings. I’m spending a fortune smoothing them out

Wow man love to see the progress u have mad one ur own you really knew what u were doing with this one. Just wished u had more wood tones esp with that toilet shelf

The mirror is really great. I don't understand the double sinks in such a small space. I think having more counter space would be more beneficial.
