DIY Bathroom Remodel | From Start To Finish

This video is a complete look inside a DIY bathroom remodel. My original budget was $1,500 for the materials and you will see a full breakdown of the actual costs towards the end of this video. If you have a 1960, 1970, 1980, or 1990 home and want to take on a complete bathroom remodel yourself this is the video targeted to exactly that type of project. I am confident you can do this and I am interested to get your feedback and questions in the comments.

This is no joke one of the best DIY videos I've ever watched

[utherca]

Having watched countless DIY videos for home improvements and repairs, including bathroom remodels, wiring, gas and water lines, electrical, etc. and realizing that about 95 percent of them are either completely useless or missing crucial information it is stunning how useful and on point your advice, recommendations, and descriptions are. Great, great job, as always. PS. My switch plate screws always point up.

I was told by an old plumber that before you caulk the tube you fill it with water. He said a filled tub can settle with the weight of the water and sometimes mess up your finished caulk job.

I appreciate the fact that you refer to other channels that might be more experts in this

I have been put in a position where I have to renovate our main bathroom due a failure of the tub drain. I was very impressed with the substance and attention to details that your videos offer and wanted to share what I learned and what I did to overcome some pitfalls that existed in my bathroom that your video did not cover. Like your video, my bathtub and shower are orientated the same way although my main bathroom is on the second level above the kitchen. I found out right away that before we moved in the home was ten years old built in 1990, when I cut out the sheet rock behind the tub and shower faucet to gain access to see the cause and problem to be overcome I exposed a previous patch and when I was able to see the tub drain I found it had been replaced. The tub and shower drain are directly above the kitchen cabinets and now I know why the kitchen was remodeled a few years before we moved in. The water lines for the tub and shower were routed from the side wall away from the shower faucet and around the alcove however where the copper pipes pass through the studs in the side wall, they were not routed through the studs in the back corner to the back wall of the shower, instead they were ran around the inside of the studs in the corner making installation of the wall panel impossible. After pondering how I was going to fix this I decided I would cut the copper pipes where they exit the last stud they were routed through and add pex lines to drop them down to just a few inches from the floor and connect them as they were just lower down so I can mount the wall panel. I also found that the floor at the faucet end of the tub was 1/4" lower than the other end so I had to lay a bed of mortar to remedy this to make the tub level. When the replacement tub drain was installed it was done with a poly pipe kit but was glued so I was not able to remove it. I may end up having to remove the kitchen cabinets in order to access the drain pipe in order to build out a new drain as you did. When I placed the order for all the materials I was sadly awakened to a problem that Home Depot has yet to fix. Until the order is placed there is no alert to inform you of delayed shipping times and locations where the materials are coming from. So the first item I received was the last part I needed and the last part I received was the first part that I needed. One month after placing the order I received the tub and shower faucet assembly and the vanity. Unfortunately, the vanity was shipped without the pedestal feet and this would not do as there is a furnace register underneath the vanity. Needless to say there were many long conversations with customer service that never gave me satisfaction and even when I brought the shortage to their attention on the vanity, they were incapable of offering me any solution that was even remotely good for me. Rather than offer to get other pedestals for the vanity they expected me to settle with a replacement that they had in inventory or wait who knows how long for another vanity to be made and shipped as they said the vanity was no longer in production and that I got the very last one available. Two days later Amazon to the rescue! But Home Depot was not even willing to reimburse me for the money spent to get replacement pedestal feet. I hope to finish the pipe relocation this weekend so I can start re-assembling the bathroom labor day weekend.

Thanks for the very informing video content and if you are in the PNW I live in Puyallup Washington and would love to treat you and your family to some BBQ!

great job ! Here's a tip i learned from a old timer pro use a moist sponge to feather mud finish before it dries it will save a lot of sanding and dust .

[RunaroundAtNight]

I really appreciate your videos and how clear the explanations are. I also like that when you mess up you leave it in and show how you correct your mistake. It gives me more confidence by seeing that. Thanks for posting this.

Woah Scott! Just finished watching this huge video and where do I even start?! You did a PREMIUM job on that bathroom and for such a reasonable price considering the times we’re going through. I’m also stunned by the amount of skills you’ve got, I wish I could have them too one day! I especially enjoyed the wall color and I personally wouldn’t have done anything different, except for the showerhead which I personally prefer to be a handheld type. Greetings from an Italian guy who’s learning new things about the DIY world everyday and hopefully trying to gain all those abilities myself! Thx for the video and take care mate!

YOU MENTIONED THE VANCOUVER CARPENTER! 😍😍😍😍 He's my favorite! That's so awesome!

[georgemcdonald]

I am a subscriber! Your work is excellent. The best level of detail and "what you need to know" I've seen across all DIY channels.

[jimkittleson]

Hi Scott - I’d be remiss if I didn’t take a minute to say thank you for all the help your videos provided. This start to finish video is exactly what I was hoping to find and really didn’t think I would. And the deep dives were great as well. Thanks for helping me through this project! It would have been much more burdensome without your help. Thank you!

[spintius]

I just started with rental business and a couple of years and I also like #SweatEquity like you. You did an amazing job and I have learnt so much from your channels. Wish I could have you as my mentor!! What a legend.

[RhinoAg]

Can’t wait to finish this one. Have an almost identical project to do in the next couple months.

[Tj-coww]

Thank you this channel is a goldmine for us DIYers

[hassanbazzi]

Well done job. Even with almost double the budget I think it is a great transformation and as you know kitchen and bathrooms are make it or break it for rentals. This is an amazing reference for anyone who have a question or see how to fix or build. Thank you for sharing. A++
