I remodeled a bathroom for my Mother In Law over the holidays. In this video are a few things to consider before remodeling a bathroom, this remodel was a bit more complicated than most but all of these concepts apply to any bathroom remodel. I framed a wall, laid tile for the first time, and was able to work with Delta Upstile system to make an amazing shower alcove with barn door hardware. Not too shabby for my first time pulling a bathroom back to the studs and bringing it back to life. I might do this more often.
Special thanks to The Home Depot and Delta and their UpStile system for sponsoring this build. Check out the full build article on Home Depot's Blog at the link below for all of the materials and more details about the remodel.

First time watching one of your videos... I think you did a great job. You make excellent use of the time and resources allotted and the bathroom looks so fresh and modern! I wish I had any sort of DIY skills and could tackle some projects like this in my own home but until then, KZfaq!

@WoodWorkLIFE 5 жыл бұрын

It's easy! All tasks are just a series of sub tasks. Don't think of it as remodeling a bathroom, think of it as (tearing down a bathroom [fun], patching drywall [easy], laying down floor [fun new skill to learn], picking out appliances [that's basically just shopping], installing appliance [basically assembling Ikea furniture], and then hiring professionals for any of the "skill" work you don't want to tackle (electrical, plumbing...) and that is basically just meeting new people and making new friends. I always try to learn at least one new skill in each project, after a bunch if projects, that's a TON of skills.

@verygoodboy2688 5 жыл бұрын

I realize the house is old and crooked but what a hack job. The dry wall joints, the vanity has a huge gap against the walls, shower tiles were all crooked... you ever caulked around the toilet which is a terrible idea. If there’s any leaks the water is going to be trapped under the toilet and rot/rust everything beneath it. This is what I’d expect in a flipped home

@WoodWorkLIFE 5 жыл бұрын

Ya I suck at drywall. The gap being the sink is unfortunately unavoidable with a freestanding vanity in this house 😪. I added a piece of trim after the fact. What are you talking about caulking under the toilet? Of course I caulked the lower rim of the toilet. I am not the greatest bathroom remodeler, but it actually looks pretty damn nice. The only issue I had is I didn't wait long enough for the adhesive on the tile to dry and 1 tile drooped.

@verygoodboy2688 5 жыл бұрын

Wood.Work.LIFE. So when you caulk the rim of the toilet, if you have any leaks from the pipe, that water is trapped beneath the toilet with no way of it getting out. That could get into your cast iron drain and rust it, damage your tile, etc. Hope that explains it

@WoodWorkLIFE 5 жыл бұрын

@@verygoodboy2688 ok ya that makes sense. Might cut out the caulking just to be safe. Every toilet I've ever seen has been caulked as far as I can remember. To be fair I am no professional bathroom contractor.

@verygoodboy2688 5 жыл бұрын

Wood.Work.LIFE. There are two schools of thought in this. No caulk = easier maintence and ability for water to escape from internal leaks, caulk = better aesthetic for uneven floor, prevents outside water from floods or clogs getting underneath (good if you have kids), so it’s up to you which makes sense, but I generally think no caulk is safer
