MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

Everything looks good enough to sell, but not for long term 6+ months living. I am landlord and I did the whole tub paint, designer glass thing bc I cheaper out. It does not last. Particle board furniture in a restroom will not last. After doing one restroom reno for 1000 grand and less, I end up spending 10k getting the titles for the floor, real tub replacement, and metal+wood furniture. This restroom is for staging and not for living. Storage is everything and in a restroom? More drawers and larger medicine cabinet is better.

Hello Mike, I hope this message finds you well. It has been six months since your last email regarding our processing collaboration for three products: a kitchen sink (installed in your kitchen apparently), a bathroom faucet, and a shower system, all valued at up to $1300 USD. Despite sending several follow-up emails, we have not received a response from you. We recently sent a final reminder email and am eagerly awaiting your reply. Could you please update us on the status of our collaboration and let me know how we can proceed? Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Lefton.

Using tub and tile refinish is a great way to be disappointed in several months after using the shower. If anyone ever wants to do this, I recommend getting porcelain/tile sander and getting the finish off the tub before adding this new finish. Otherwise the paint won't have anything to really stick to and will eventually peal off and you'll need a new tub.

I like the attention to detail especially in the USBA/USBC port on the wall, but the faucets that you got for the sink have a major design flaw most faucets do, it crowds your hands at the top of the sink and doesn't let you use the full bowl of the sink, it's a pet peeve of mine but I hate having a gigantic sink and a little 3x3 square where my water will hit my hands

@iamallaboutfood7242 Ай бұрын

For real, this is such a big pet peeve for me as well. Often, I put my hand under the tap and the water actually ends up behind the sink because the faucet is so small

Depending where the house is, you may have gotten more than 10K in equity. Bathroom remodels are one of the highest ROIs when selling a house. You did a fantastic job, and who ever buys this will be stoked about it. Other thoughts regarding the build: - Thanks for showing the texture sprayer! I didn't know about those, and am excited about their potential. - Matte black fixtures would have been a more modern look with the white paint and the natural wood tone of the vanity. Nickel finishes are an early 2000s style. - Why did you use a roller for the bathtub refinish kit instead of the airless sprayer we saw in earlier shots? Would have reduced the risk of seeing roller lines. - Gray vinyl planking is not modern, and is already on its way out. Why not use choose a brighter natural wood tone like the vanity?

Very fresh!! Such a good idea to pull out that "privacy" wall. My only constructive criticisms are the tension shower rod and the vanity. There's no reason not to use screw-in shower rod, so it's not constantly creeping down to the top of the surround or getting pulled down by accident. It's a small point of quality that makes a big difference. And the horizontal vanity slats are cool looking but will be an utter nightmare to keep clean. As a buyer or renter, I would replace it immediately, which would be a sad waste of resources.

You did a nice job although I would’ve loved to see you build the vanity using the one you bought as inspiration. But I get it, there’s a lot of work to be done. You did a wonderful job cleaning up that bathroom and making it tasteful and ready to use! One thing to heed, I live in my 1970’s house. I’ve had a lot of renovations done to it which I prefer rather than buy new anyways and I love mid century homes although mine didn’t have the character one would hope for. Anyways I finally had my upstairs bathroom renovated and I’m grateful I did. I had the original heavy tub and fortunately I chose to remove mine because when the guys pulled it out and then inspected the flooring beneath they realized the floor had bowed but not due to water damage. It was due to the original contractor installing 1/4” plywood as the base. I don’t know how all these decades and years it didn’t crash through the floor and into the basement. All the times I had bathed my dogs and when my family would stay over and use the shower… anyways that was frightening and for damn good reason so just some food for thought about keeping the original tub without inspecting first.
