Great video! Quick tip for you, when spreading silicone like that, use a glove over your finger. If you don't the silicone is much more likely to have mould issues. Keep up the great work!

Great video! Quick tip for silicone to avoid masking tape, apply the bead of silicone and mist it with isopropyl alcohol and you'll be able to clean up the bead super easy. It pretty much removes the messy parts of the job and looks 100% pro when you're done.

Hi! I didn't see the earlier video, but I wanted to ask if you had any concerns about the bathroom feeling too small. I want to divide our medium size bathroom , ( on the second floor near three bedrooms), into a hall bath ( smallish but with full size tub and shower), and a slightly smaller , 3 piece bath - almost exactly the size of your bathroom- master bath. It would be 8.5 feet long (door on short end where your door is), by 3.5 feet wide. I'm hoping to put a box bay in the room to give it 1-1.5 feet more elbow room. My husband is concerned that this reduction in size would hurt resale value: That people may feel it is too small. But I think privacy is more valuable. I love your design. It makes the bathroom feel airy. Great project!

this is amazing, what are the measurements of your bathroom, I have tiny bathroom with a laundry in it so wondering if my butt is gonna touch the wall if I change the place of the sink this way :D I would love to get the measurements of the room and the vanity as well if possible please! :) Thanks for the awesome tutorial though!

Curious about a follow up on the shelf. From the looks you didn't seal the bottom which will probably lead to issues, if it hasn't already.

It looks great. Rather than doing the epoxy, what do you think about just doing a polycrylic coat?

@AndrewThronImprovements 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! You could probably get away with multiple coats of poly, but it would be downgrade from epoxy (imo) in terms of longevity and water resistance. Let me know how it turns out if you end up going that way! Thanks for watching!
