Bathroom Remodel Tips and Tricks!

Items I may or may not have used but should have:

Tool List:

In this DIY small bathroom remodel / renovation we did it in 3 days and under $750. Keep in mind this was a QUICK and EASY project. There were things missed. We will be doing an addition on our home this next year and redoing a lot of these things, all the walls, electrical items, and yes we'll be getting rid of the ugly door.

Some of the bigger stuff like the countertop, lights, faucet, and paint was from Lowes, some tools and electrical stuff from home Depot, and well odds and ends at Walmart.

*Colors: Valspar metropolis for the grey and blue kiss for the white.

Started by taking off and out everything except the toilet. Wife did the painting. I did a skim coat of drywall mud to take off the textured walls. Painted the cabinets and doors, got a new marble laminate countertop, added new 3 pc faucet, new vanity light fixture, new cabinet mirror. and we kept the trim, tile, toilet and shower.
This project took us 3 days and cost us about $700.
Thanks for watching.

I’ve installed many replacements bath vanity and cabinets.
Install the faucet, water lines and sink before mounting the top. Much faster and less headaches later.
Good job.

Tip: When removing a mirror like that, use duct tape in a cross cross pattern (#) across the mirror. That way when/if it breaks, the falling pieces are contained and don’t slice your arm in half. You were lucky in that whoever hung that mirror originally, did a terrible drop of glueing it which is why it came off so easily. Safety first!

I think that was the cleanest demo I’ve ever seen of a bathroom! It’s like everything was glued on with elmer’s glue 😂

This has to be one of the best "how to" videos I've seen. And everything you say I went through on my spare bath.

I really appreciate how you got right to the point in each part of the project. Your editing was perfect. Congrats on the success of the bathroom remodel. You make it seem like something I could do too. Thank you.

This is a great video. The speed up, the details, the commentary. Wow! Thanks. Glad I found you!

[coolsteff]

This gives me hope. I will be a first time home owner hopefully some time this year and I will definitely want to tackle some projects like this.

GREAT JOB 👍🏼

Working with the wife is awesome, that’s how we do it!

I've seen many videos on remodeling, this was one of the best quick overview videos I've seen. Great job!

The electrical box you used for the light is used for ceiling fans. That's why it comes with the brace to support the extra weight. Great idea to use it for the light!

I enjoyed your narration! It's really refreshing to listen to someone that's funny and humble, instead of the standard on YouTube tutorials: 'look at my awesome bathroom transformation guys'. Great job. I wish I had someone to do my bathroom...

I draw a quick diagram on a piece of cardboard and pop the screws or hardware right into the cardboard in the exact location the piece came from. Learned that from working on cars. You can save the ziplock and w new parts etc there's alway extra cardboard laying around. Loved how you fixed the textured wall😍 this was inspirational!

Another tip I learnt from my personal renovating was to screw on the faucet to the sink first then add on the hoses after so you don’t have to be stuck under the sink in a tight space for too long

I know. Almost 3yrs later. But beautiful!!! I was looking for ideas for my father's bathroom. He has a tiled walk-in shower that needs to be replaced. And came across your video for my own bathroom. Again, BEAUTIFUL!!

[shannonpilittere]

Your wife is smart! I hate the textured walls too 👏👏❤️

[dlodge]

Glad to hear I am not the only more than one trip or two per project!!!

You can NEVER finish a project without going to the hardware store at least 10 times that day. 😤

Great job, quick tip. Put your faucet on before you attach the countertop makes that assembly alot easier, also use white silacanized latex caulk. It will hide your gaps better and it's way easier to use.

I truly enjoyed watching this video. The audio description and rate of speed made it enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your experience!

You have me inspired! I also love to see couples working together. Did you ever consider framing your mirror, I think it always makes them look better?
