That place is looking fantastic!!! I didn't see anything except *maybe* the p-trap under the sink that could be a problem with the inspector. I don't know if the curves with the p-trap is an issue, but if the pipe coming straight down from the sink was a little shorter, you could add an adapter to it to connect it and it would be a perfect p-trap. Again, I don't know how picky he'll or she'll be with the inspection, but everything else I saw looks fantastic! You really have done a great job on that place.

@@es_the1 I'm glad you didn't take my comment wrong and get upset. I really am with you in spirit when you're doing that work and always am so proud of your work. But I am a Security guard, been one for almost 40 years, I notice every little thing... Sometimes that's a curse, I know. But after I get my garageominium built and move in, if I'm still in good enough shape mentally and physically, my plan is to retire from Security work and take the residential building inspection classes and get certified to inspect. When it comes to noticing small details, it seems to be my forte. So that's why I mentioned it. My solution to the p-trap situation is to shorten the drain pipe a couple of inches, add a connector to the flexible p-trap pipe and only have a single bend. At least that's what I have seen in many other builds and remodels and how I plan ok doing mine. Let us know how the inspection goes. And good luck with it.

Looking good! I tell ya, when I laid the flooring in my living room it killed my back and hips. I think it was the way I had to bed over and sit on the floor, PLUS the slight impacts on my spine when I had to hammer the planks into place. It looks great but didn't feel great doing it. I will probably hire some high school kid or local neighbor to come do it when the time comes in my build inside the garage. What you have done with that place in nothing short of amazing! Keep up the great work and we're always here watching and admiring your work. Stay safe!

Hey guy, may I make a friendly suggestion that will lessen your work and stress load? You showed an outlet that was cut larger than needed and you said that you were going to fill it in and repair it. Well, there is a small gray foam tubing made especially for that. You can cut a small piece of it and stick it into the opening and seal off that area. And then you can get a larger outlet cover for it to cover that all up and no one would even know it's there but you. Also, leaving the black or brown light switches and plugs as they are kinda cool in my opinion. They match the dark colors of the cabinets. And the darker color in the other rooms would help people easily find them, so if it were my place, I'd leave them as is. For the functionality of their color as well as less work and stress etc. Just my opinion. It's looking wonderful there, and all your hard work is paying off indeed.
@es_the1 Ай бұрын
I love the suggestions!! I did end up mudding and painting the outlet gap. That is very good advise though. I like your thought with the light switches. I did leave them in for now. they are old though and sometimes stop working. I had one in the garage that needed replacing. Thank you so much for watching my journey with this project. I have so much more content to record in the next few weeks. There has been a lot going on. I can't wait to fill you in.

If it were my house, I'd cove the openings that you made for the pipe repair with access panels. That way, in the future you could easily access that area without having to rip out that drywall again. You can find those access panels at your local big box DIY store, or get some white wall board and make your own if you have studs you can attach them to. I had two different pipes freeze and crack last Winter inside the walls in the back room and the only way the plumber was able to find the areas were thru the access panels. Please at least consider this option. You can thank me later when you need to quickly get back in there...
@es_the1 Ай бұрын
I definitely considered that! It was so easy to just put the drywall back in and mud it. Especially with the mirror covering it.

I had to laugh when you said there was a leak in the tub/shower. I remember doing the same bone head thing assuming that nothing would leak. You will NEVER make that mistake again. Although, I only had the dura rock installed when I tested my plumbing. Glad you got it fixed now it just patching the drywall.

Good morning hun! I hope your weekend was good and your week will be even better. I can't wait to see the magic you'll perform today. If it were my house (and I know it isn't)...I would get another 5 gallons of GRAY paint to paint the walls. It wouldn't be so dark that way and you'd be better able to see what plugs, wires and equipment you have down there. And it would also make that black ceiling pop! I also LOVE the flooring down there, wish I had some of that to put into my upcoming build, I love the retro vintage style stuff.

Mornin' hun! May I make a suggestion? Get some Mr. Clean's 'clean freak' spray and clean the door trims and anywhere else that has spills or spots. It will work wonders in getting that off. And if you have any places on the walls or floors that have mold or urine or anything at all that needs to be sealed up, get a can of Kilz and paint it over the top of the area. Kilz is used as a primer sometimes under a base coat, so it will work great for your project. And by the way, I would much prefer hearing the radio station tunes or nothing at all over the loud "music" that you choose. I have had to turn it down 3 times so it wasn't overwhelming, so I could continue to watch you. Stay safe and you're doing a great job!

FYI, residential heating guys need to do replacements. They can't make much money on service. Beware of the cracked heat exchanger your gonna die of CO poisoning when your sleeping sales pitch.
