My Bathroom Is Functional! (Kinda)

[LuellaLane-dn]

Congratulations , you have a shower that works in your bathroom 😊 the memories you have to remember 😉 ❤

[onamissionfortruth]

really GLAMPING now! Luxury at this stage of the game and changes the game so great job.

Congratulations 😁👍💖🎄. As a child, in England, Mum had to pump water, heat it, then we bathed in a galvanized tub in front of the fire and, yes, outdoor toilets. I can feel the shear joy of knowing you can have a real shower. I love you can finally have a shower head adjusted to your height. Little things can be the most rewarding. Well done and on Christmas Eve. What a wonderful present to yourself. Enjoy.

Bro, your bathroom is small enough that you really should tile the whole bathroom from floor to ceiling. It looks better and no painting in the future. Just have wall niches for an in wall medicine cabinet, the tub and in the lower part of the wall for cleaning 🧼 supplies so the bathroom looks neat.

Before you drywall, install some 2 bys horizontal where your towel rack and TP holders go.

Oh, oh yeah I’ve showered in something like that plenty of times.
P.S. I think the hate on shower kits is overblown. They are installed as basic bathrooms in new construction all the time. You’re correct that one wouldn’t fit without heavy modification but I think it would be appropriate for the ROI of that house. Remember don’t overbuild.
It looks great so far.
Happy New Year!

Yes sir when you are building your own bathroom you put the shower head as high as you want! Raise your countertops a couple inches too, while you’re at it. You won’t regret it. Then, just pick a tall wife! I am 6’1” so I feel your pain with the low shower heads. 🇨🇦❤️

2025 will be the year of the remodel! That house will go from homely to homey! We can't wait to see what you decide to do with each step of the way! Love this!
Best of the season to you and yours! 🎄🎇🍭🎁😘🙏

🎊 Congratulations 🎊

😃 I am sooo Proud of You! 😃

I quite hope you have had a great season and I am delighted as a past lead man to a rental, dealing with a large difficult refit. There to watch real progress.

But I am curious, where are your plans?
Please understand, I cheer for your progress, but where also, the most simplified computer lay out to print paper is an assist to measurement and a forecast to refit. Also, a useful bit as might list required material. I fully understand "hands on work. The sawing and mud. " But while watching... is where I simply ask you to think about the absolute best near future.

So even, a rough plan, bill of materials is a simply assist to a goal or list of goals. Please nail, screw or glue some paper draft to that bath wall and I will be silent.

Hope it' a great new year, oh brave camper.

Enjoying watching your progress. I learn from listening to you when you think out loud.
You stated that you will always remember where you are at right now. You are expressing a sincere humble attribute.
You are a very capable young person.
I pray you enjoyed your Christmas with loved ones.
Keep on keepin on Dalton.

Dalton, Merry Christmas. When my 30 year licensed plumber ( charged >7k) plumbed my primary bath, he was short one pex ring too. Only he didnt know it and it was under the subfloor in my living room ceiling. When we turned on the water everything was fine and my brother and I left for lunch. When we returned water was shooting everywhere, etc. This however was just foreshadowing as a couple year later a gap he left when installing the vanity allowed a feed pipe to freeze and blow the angle stop off the end. I was away ( for Christmas 2022). When i returned half the house was ruined by water and it cost nearly $500k and 11 months to repair.

You’re doing just fine because you care about the outcome, not getting paid.

[sharonbull]

Sure any step forward is a win. These tough times all make you a stronger man. Keep walking the journey.

[mikeedson]

Great accomplishment, I think the only thing I would have done different is to put a stud in between the studs that are already there. More places to screw the tub to. And you don't want any flex in the tile walls in case you slip in the tub and bump into them.

[jeepman]

Doing a good job Dalton. Pex is not my thing but this is your house and you do it the way you want. Often I see someone do something on video and I want to make a suggestion but at that point the work is done. So I will suggest ahead of time. I'm not sure how cold it gets in winter there so I suggest rethinking about putting water lines in the attic unless well insulated, also. the longer the hot water line, the longer it will take to get hot water when taking a shower. Finally, consider putting soundproof insulation behind your pipes where there is a room adjacent.

Merry Christmas and thanks for the video!

[anadaneen]

Look at you, you went from 'camping' outside to 'glamping' indoors! 😂 Well done!

[joanne]

From someone who just experienced a toilet blowout in finished basement from floor above, I would have a plumber review before you close it in. Looks fine but is it in long term. It seems a little loosely put together and potential for nail puncture in future. Good for you on effort

[jesuscreature]

i think you are very talented. make sure you cover the drain pipes otherwise they will get stopped up

[Captain-Max]

You: I have zero faith in this.
Us: Oh hell yes, you've got this nailed.
When you get my age, you will understand this is all part of learning and growing. There was one Minnesota winter I chose to live in a slide in topper the size of your little trailer with a small electric heater for warmth and shower at work because a hotel was more costly than I wanted to pay. You just adapt, adjust, and carry on.
