It is a pleasure to watch someone good at their job

Tip of the day. Think ahead for bath tap and overflow access - one day you may need to work on the taps, overflow or waste from underneath and if they are hard to access, it makes it a bigger job. Speaking from experience ten years after a bathroom refurb 😅

I like the fact you put building a new workshop ahead of renovating the bathroom. Solid man logic, I can relate 💪🏻

[james_wedlock_music]

I really enjoyed watching this... even more so because I have just finished renovating my 60s bathroom myself, learning everything as I went. I won't be doing it again in a hurry!

Pro tip for you I always leave the old bath in to catch the tiles when ripping out makes it so much easier to tidy up and saves lots of time.

[brianp]

Floorboards…those of us unlucky enough to live in new builds can only dream of having access like that 😂

[justinpriest]

Really enjoyed that. It just goes to show if you take your time and think about what you’re doing you’ve probably got most of the skills, if you like DIY, to do a nice job. Would love to see you install a wet room as an alternative to a bath 👍

[rustyshackleford]

fantastic timing, just ripped out my own bathroom in 70s house! looking forward to this series. Thanks!

You work hard and communicate each task in simple steps, we could all do with knowing someone like you. Look forward to the next one.

Might be worth mentioning if you have boards up, to remove as much dead pipework as possible. I couldn't because of time constraints so put a stopcock on the end of pipe run connected to an old outside overflow. Just have to drain it regularly to prevent legionella

[darrenmackenzie]

Great tip for clip behind flushpipe. All plumbers should learn this trick

[JustLikeBuildingThings]

Nice work. Similar to me 1970s property, stripped it back to brick, no ceilings, floors and renovated it back doing tiling, plumbing, decorating all myself learning a ton. Great fun!

I would have done an asbestos test on house that old. Those bathroom wall are probably old asbestos hard board . That’s probably why they tiled over tile to prevent disturbing the asbestos.

[TheRealGurney]

You are a skilled and talented guy. I’ve really enjoyed your content and I you’ve inspired me to want to go and build or repair stuff! I will definitely be referring back to your channel for any DIY in the future. I wish you all the best with this and look forward to seeing your brand grow as it rightly should. Fantastic. 👏

I love the fact that you use the terminology that Every plumber comes across when working in the rewards, "How much more longer will it take" etc.. and your so calm with it, and you accept it and portray it in a comedic way.. show's the level of tolerance and patience that a plumber Builds😉 up along the years in understanding the frustrations of the job but expecting and accepting them so that there's never any issue between the client and contractor. Much respect for keeping the peace✌️🕊️ and not letting it bother you, which makes you an even more of a better individual.

Enjoyed that, you made it look easy, Cameron. Love all the little details. And as someone else noted, you do more work in a day than any trade would do (mind you, you had 'She who must be obeyed' on your case. Some blokes call their wife, Dear. It's not a term of affection, it's purely because they cost you a fortune..Extremely dear...Keep 'em coming, Paul..

[steveb]

Excellent channel. My 100% go too when I'm doing DIY, detailed and great tips. 👍

I've never seen a concealed kit like that one before. It does look handy, I liked how you tested it live while all open but first thing that came into my head was if you don't know the exact thickness of the new floor tile and even if you do know the thickness and have the tile there with you during the first fix to slide under the pan you'd be surprised how many mm tile adhesive can add in the end so you'd risk the flush pipe still not perfectly lining up with the back of the pan which could cause joint stress and leak over time, the flexi pan connector wont really matter as you'll have the movement there. Think that's why the wall mounted pan frame kits are used as that eliminates worrying about finished floor measurements. You have great overall knowledge (especially electrical for lights and fans, I'm learning loads with that. I love your channel. Keep up the good work.
