What I learned from your video is that it's probably best to hire a professional. I'm pretty sure I could do this myself, but it would take me MONTHS!. I really enjoyed watching your processes, and now know why you get $4500 a week for labor. Good Job!! ...I"m sure this home owner was extremely happy.

I was just trying to get an idea of where to start (there's no easy answer to that for a beginner i dont think) and i just sat and watched this entire two hour video. I have ADHD, and I consistently cannot make it through informational videos due to boredom, but you explain things in a very digestible way. Its this perfect middle of casually using trade terms but then explaining them to the layman, not over nor under explaining what you are doing. This really helped me get a grasp on the different facets of what goes into a bathroom remodel, im sure I'll look at more of your videos for help in the future. Thank you for sharing!

Watching this as you’re painting the room, and talking about it being Benjamin Moore. It looked like my TV was hollow in the center. I think my living room walls are painted the same color. One of Benjamin Moore most successful colors, Revere Pewter. It’s a Greige. Gray beige. The builder uses all Sherwin Williams when they painted my house during the build. I’m usually a Sherwin fan, but, I really loved this Revere Pewter.

Looking great, Wolkon. When installing that ceiling fan, I like to trace, score and peel back the first layer of the drywall. This flushes the insert, you don’t have to do any feathering. It’s just flush.

Another awesome bathroom renovation! Nice sliding glass door which is different from the typical swinging glass door done in previous renovation jobs. While I understand that the bottom track doesn't make it a "true" curbless shower design, it does keep the door on a track without risking it swinging and falling off the upper track.

You do beautiful work and meticulous on the shower floor sloping cuts. Shluter does now offer a shallow linear drain (3-4 gal/min.). With open access to drains, this linear drain could be on backwall and using Kerdi single slope to drain pan ALL that cutting is sidestepped

There is a tool in sewing that has a small metal ball on the end of it to help push corners out without tearing a hole in them. I’ve seen other makers use it to clean up caulk/silicone instead of your finger or some other tool. It works really well and saves your finger joints.
