Small Bathroom Remodel - Time Lapse

I completely remodeled and updated my small bathroom from top to bottom and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. All pretty straight forward. All very doable. Take a look. If I can do it. You can do it.

It came out great! And I appreciate the fact that you didn't include shopping trips, cooking. facts about your kids or fourteen tons of 'decor'. Simple and to the point.

Grout will not keep water from penetrating into the unwaterproofed cement board behind the tile . The cement board will get saturated with water in 6 months or less . The only way you could circumvent proper water proofing of the surface you set the tile on is if you caulked all of the grout joints and corners with a silicone based grout caulking, and you would have to maintain that every 2- 4 years ....ever

[chrisalker]

Great video, but you forgot to install a waterproofing membrane on that cement board. In the future, I recommend either RedGuard, Aqua Defense, or use DenShield panels that have an integrated membrane.

Just some code things I noticed, you should staple your romex to a stud within 12 inches of every box and 4.5 feet there after. Lastly I know shark bites are approved behind the wall but I would never trust them behind the wall personally. Also I always use clips on my tiles so there's no lippage I noticed you didn't...if you were able to tile the shower with no lipage with just spacers then well done. Most importantly you didnt use and water proofing methods...I would never tile a shower for a paying customer and not use water proofing ..just my .02 from a bathroom contractor.

Looks great. I would do one extra thing - make an inspection door for the back of the tub valve. I'm leery of using push fittings in enclosed walls.

[DavidGalan]

Great video and looks superb!
Unfortunately you will be having moisture and mold behind the bath walls in a few months.
At least you can choose another design/color if you want.

[EqualsThreeable]

Few things look off in your construction, but you are young and learning, plenty of time to master your craft. Good work.

Always seeing remodels on already lovely rooms pop up on YouTube, finally YouTube recommends a legit remodel that's a HUGE improvement. The before and after is incredible

[joshjohnson]

Easy to watch and full of great tips like usual. I appreciate that you don’t take your knowledge for granted—I was able to grasp all these concepts because of it and I’m kind of a moron. Looks awesome too btw.

[FKS]

looks nice but you should have stapled the electrical wiring that way when someone pulls the wiring, it won't break the connection from the receptacle. I would've installed stud guards as well since you have all the walls removed. Would've spent more for rockwool than fiberglass. better soundproofing and if it gets wet, the R value isn't compromised.

plumbing: sharkbites are fine but I wouldn't have put it behind the wall like that. at the very least, leave an access panel where those fittings are so you can quickly repair or check where the leak is if there ever was one.

lastly, you didn't waterproof the cement board in the shower. cement board is porous so it can soak up water and eventually cause a leak somewhere if water gets behind your tiles/grout. You needed to redgard the concrete board so that water doesn't seep into the cement board.

You’re legend. Thanks for sharing this. For DIY that’s not bad at all. This type of videos motivates me to remodel mine

[nosirrahm]

The work is so neat for cutting holes around fixtures. I wish I had this level of DIY skill.

[debmoore]

I had that same sink, tub and toilet until a few years ago! Original to my 1956 house.

[HappyCat]

Just had my half bath redone. Almond fixtures, brown cabinets, beige floor, yellow wallpaper. Stripped out everything including the dry wall and subfloor. New insulation, cement subfloor, white fixtures, gray cabinets and gray and white marble floor. Blue walls. Did fancy molding and floorboards and cove molding in white. All new window too. Looks fantastic. So I really related to this video.

[richardk]

Great video! You may consider removing a portion of the toilet caulking. If/when your wax ring fails, you’d never know with it caulked and the water will damage your subfloor before you realize it. With at least the back portion left uncaulked, you’ll see the water seep out when the leak starts.

[kellyb]

Looks great! I did a bathroom recently too and it took about 4 months. Looks like you got it done a lot faster than that.

[oscargaribay]

They sale cement board designated for walls my guy. Other than that don’t forget to strap your romex 12 inches from boxes and you did great brotha

[leeepperson]

Love the content, bud. Don't be afraid to expand on what you're doing. You're setting up and filming, slow down and explain each step; I get the sense that you'd be great at explaining to your audience, many of whom are just starting down this road, myself included. And hell, you may teach some lifelongers a new trick along the way. I'd like to see you put together playlists on projects in detail. Good stuff!

[megamachine]

isnt there like a special type of drywall specifically for bathroom? looks like you used regular one and didnt use the special red sealant over it as well. also didnt see any vents in there which you should have added while everything was removed. wondering if moisture will be a problem in the future

[samsungnoteseries]

That old blue sink was really cool 😶‍🌫️
