Fantastic!! When I started watching your channel, I thought, "I can do that!" I still haven't done any of 'that,' and now your skills are so well developed that I find myself thinking, "I could never do 'that'!" Great job!!
Absolutely loved this one! I've watched a lot of your videos. I've worked in the furniture/renovation business for the past 10 years and the care and attention you put into your projects I don't even see from some my fitters/ carpenters... Kudos!
Hi there! Nice job on that bathroom! If I want to put screws in the side of MDF, I always put wooden dowels in first. They are easily hidden by the hinges. It helps out a ton doing so. Regards, Etna!
Sorry to be offtopic but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Lyle Aries I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Love the channel guys! Loads of inspiration! My try and do our downstairs loo now.... Been putting it off for years and thinking i'll get this wrong! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
One of my key questions is how you balance your DIY, Work, family time. I am in a similar boat to you, but I often find that playing with Duplo or taking my son out to ride his bike will quickly wipe out a weekend leaving no time. I need to spray paint my MDF cabinets and floating shelves this weekend... will I get them done or will I build another garage in Duplo... lets see. For any serious DIY/self build dads out there, how do you get the right balance? Also, I don't want to ignore my wife all the time but I pretty much now, work, play with son, work on house etc. she sort of gets taken for granted as just being there! This is where holidays are great away from the house (as I cannot worry about not having done anything because I am away from it all!) but I don't want to abandon my family too much yet want to crack on. Wife is very understanding and a good woman, as a man I cannot actually complain about her, but my guilt gets to me! She let me build for 3 years including starting a major part of the extension 1 week before 1st born was due. He started life sleeping through a nail gun! My wife goes to sleep quite early so I tend to go out to my garage workshop to work on projects, but issue is I need down time too. Thoughts and pointers from other dads like me would be interesting.
I think this is something we have struggled with most over the years. Tim, like you, has worked throughout all pregnancies and births and I’ve chipped in where I can. I think the only advice we have is do bits with your kids where you can. We got the kids to paint ‘where the cupboards would be’ and they find the screws when doing a project in the garden. At the end of the day you are showing your kids a great work ethic so keep that in mind but it’s great you are still prioritising spending time with them as they are only young once. We were lucky in one way as Tim’s job was varied time wise so some weeks he would have loads of time to get stuck into a project and others he wouldn’t have any. Going forward Tim and I are going to prioritise a date night of sorts or get a diy project going that we can both do together. Thanks for speaking up about these things. Remember most of our projects have taken a lot longer than the sped up video! 😉
Brilliant work there mate .like your honesty I have been in the trade over 25yrs and I can see your work is spot on .keep up the the good work and the vids👍
Great job Tim, the cabinets look fantastic. I've been able to do some renovating with materials on hand recently. Feels so good to get a professional finish without splashing out 💷👏
Hi! I know you've redone your roof and built a workshop since this video (huge projects!), but you mention building a step under the sink for your kids. I love the idea and wondered if you ever did build the pull out step?
Haha, I've been there with the angle grinder doing exactly that!! Funny how you'll remember it next time you are tiling. Now I use a chrome square end trim to finish all the tiles, even if they are going to be butted up to a cabinet, door frame, etc.
Looking great Tim! Is it a Nuaire extractor fan? I’m on the look out for a quieter one and I’ve heard these are meant to be quiet. Loving the hand wash basin on top of that oak worktop all oiled up with the OSMO. 👍 as you say a bathroom fitter would charge a few grand for that lot and that would be with flat pack units off the shelf. And for hand made, well stick another grand on. Really does show that if you absorb as much info as you can on any subject you can pull something off that your proud of! Nice one! 👍
Looks amazing. Great work as usual. Might be covered in the follow up, but would love to know what you used to seal around the oak work top. Wood to tiles. Mine is unfinished as can’t decide what to use based on aesthetics and adhesion!! Thanks.
Just a bead of silicon. In the oak I used a standard grey, that’s why it’s a bit darker. I’m holding out to get the actual grout colour to do the other bits.
Could I ask what you had to have in terms of building control for the bathroom install? I'm about to move (hopefully) and have eyed up putting an upstairs shower room in a bungalow, but have read you need building consent.. obviously electrics will need to be signed off but for plumbing what do they check or inspect?
Really great job Tim; looks amazing! Can I ask please, how did you attach the large upright panel (to the right of the sink and to the left of the boiler) to the wall?
Great video and fantastic result as ever Tim. I’d be a little bit careful removing the front of boilers. It’s a decorative case with your boiler and it’s fine but others can form part of the combustion chamber removing this can be dangerous and is actually illegal if not gas safe. Keep up the great work.
Yes as mentioned in the comments, it is room sealed so should really be checked. Fortunately the service is due any day and we have some other work needed so will be done anyway
I hope the clearance on the left side of the cabinet doesn’t cause issues, when it comes to servicing the boiler. As for using the cabinet for storage when there is a big hot box in there hmmm
That’s exactly why, towels, sheets, etc. Minimum clearance is 5mm so plenty more than needed. 👍 If you saw how tight the are usually installed in kitchen units this is pretty roomy. 😀
That powerful magnetic level is a cool idea, I’ve bought a lot of stud finders and never really satisfied with there performance. Cool trick Thanks ~Chuck
Not really, the doors clip off and there is loads of access to all pipes, valves and the boiler. If you think that most boilers are tucked inside a kitchen cabinet. The actual clearance required is something like 5mm so lots more than that here.
Check boiler fitting instructions if cupboard needs venting, not usual on modern appliances but some do, also can you remove the front from the boiler? Regards Jim.
It’s room sealed and requires no big clearances. I had checked with my installer. That said, I did removed front to fit hinge so it should now be checked again apparently. We need the flu swapped anyway so service due any day. 👍
The Restoration Couple Don't panic over removing the boiler case. Very few boilers use the case to contain combustion gasses these days, and we know yours is brand new. If it was held on by only a couple of screws or so, and didn't have a compression gasket around any parts of it you're good. It's when you open one up and see a flaming burner you need to worry!
For the exact match it’s best to get from same manufacturer as grout. I use BAL. the grey I used on the vanity was a standard grey hence why it’s a little too dark, I’ve ordered the proper stuff for the other parts. 👍
Hey buddy, fantastic video and I love your new bathroom... Just please stop putting your hand on the back of the track like you did at 1:17 - If it kicks back you won't have a very good day. Stay safe and keep up the videos :)
Great work Tim, only issue is the boiler front cover shouldn't be removed unless if you have a flue analyser to carry out a sweep test as it's a room sealed boiler and the front cover seal was disturbed so should it be re-checked by a qualified engineer
That’s good to know. Fortunately not is use much at the moment. Service is due actually so will be done as soon as he can get back. Flue being changed to vertical too so I can take it through the the roof.
H Dhanji with an appliance like this the case does not form part of the combustion chamber. Non gas safe people can legally remove and there is no reinstatement. There are other (generally older) appliances which have a case which is used to contain products of combustion.
I wish you'd broken it Into step by step talk over as I don't know what is going on unfortunately as it's too fast for me to understand how and what you're doing
Fantastic!! When I started watching your channel, I thought, "I can do that!" I still haven't done any of 'that,' and now your skills are so well developed that I find myself thinking, "I could never do 'that'!" Great job!!
Same.
Bathroom looks great, very well done. Loving the channel, it's perfect (although very addictive) for binge watching.

@@TheRestorationCouple Thanks for the reply. Interesting insight.
definitely getting inspired to empty the kitchen pedal bin !! restoration Jedi you are.
Nice job Tim. Another job jobbed as I say. Keep up the good work.
I am gobsmacked at how you did this. It's just awesome
RIP mug whilst painting! Always a sad moment! Great stuff Tim, always happy to see a new video!
Forgot about that! 😂
Your "good enough" is far better than most!
Beautiful craftsmanship, 20 min just flew by...Hats off to you Sir
Wish it was that quick in person!
You could plastic spray the vent same colour as the cupboard and it would vanish! 🙂👍 great job.
Others have beaten me to it but 'good enough ' would be perfect to me! Awesome 👌
Fantastic video, absolutely flawless job. Very well done 👍
Brilliant work there mate .like your honesty
I have been in the trade over 25yrs and I can see your work is spot on .keep up the the good work and the vids👍
Great job Tim, the cabinets look fantastic. I've been able to do some renovating with materials on hand recently. Feels so good to get a professional finish without splashing out 💷👏
looks superb. Great job and the finish you achieved on the mdf was very nice
Lovely! Which paint was the grey one on the doors?

Excellent work, forever the perfectionist and you don’t give yourself the credit for the work. But I’m sure Jo does 👏🏼🇮🇪
Another top job there mate. All the best.

Expel air or something like that. I bought it for the main bathroom a few years back but never used it, pretty much silent.
Awesome result, great content as always, looking really good! Excited for you guys to hit the 100K milestone.
Nice work! Looks really nice and so functional.
How did you attach the face frames ? Just glue ? Or glue and screws? Slugs?
New to your channel. Really nice quality job looks very professional
Loving the perfectionism as always Tim 👍
Brilliant job Tim...top Mark's...well done
Great work mate! Hope the sunburn isn't too sore!
That’s with factor 50, I can get sunburnt at night! 😂
The Restoration Couple I've got the ginger gene too, I feel your pain 😂😂
Amazing work, pure perfectionist.
Looks amazing. Great work as usual. Might be covered in the follow up, but would love to know what you used to seal around the oak work top. Wood to tiles. Mine is unfinished as can’t decide what to use based on aesthetics and adhesion!! Thanks.

The Restoration Couple brilliant thanks.
I must give this bathroom sink cabinet a try. I just don't have all the tools.
Great video, you make it look so easy.
Hope you do a mirror above it. I will need to do similar... so seeing a method modelled by someone better at this than me would be great!
10:22 wicked router base :)
Love it! Really nice work 👍
Great Job Tim 👏👏👌🏻👍

I'm about to move (hopefully) and have eyed up putting an upstairs shower room in a bungalow, but have read you need building consent.. obviously electrics will need to be signed off but for plumbing what do they check or inspect?
Great job Tim 👍
So close to that play button now.
Love these videos Tim. What sprayer are you using? Couldn't catch the make and model. On the look out for a good one!
Nice new opening.. and excellent results.. as expected!! Cheers!
Nice work, I'd like to do similar myself.
How is the spaceframe attched to the wall? Do you use some type of brackets?
Looks lovely 😍😎👌🏼
Great job👍 do you use sketch up for plans?
Occasionally just for working out ideas, but not for this one. Just a sketch on scrap paper did the job.
Really great job Tim; looks amazing! Can I ask please, how did you attach the large upright panel (to the right of the sink and to the left of the boiler) to the wall?
yes, just metal l brackets, along with screws in to the vanity unit.
Great video and fantastic result as ever Tim. I’d be a little bit careful removing the front of boilers. It’s a decorative case with your boiler and it’s fine but others can form part of the combustion chamber removing this can be dangerous and is actually illegal if not gas safe. Keep up the great work.
Yes as mentioned in the comments, it is room sealed so should really be checked. Fortunately the service is due any day and we have some other work needed so will be done anyway
Brilliant job Tim
Looks very nice 👍
Bang up job Tim! God bless and take care from California!!
Can you post a link to the vent you used please? Thanks keep up the great work
Hi Tim what colour did you use for the doors?
Dulux chic shadow.
What pain sprayer is that please?
Great Video
Amazing work Tim, which guide rail are you using with the festool?
Evolution
Best place to buy the Osmo oil from pal??
I hope the clearance on the left side of the cabinet doesn’t cause issues, when it comes to servicing the boiler. As for using the cabinet for storage when there is a big hot box in there hmmm
That’s exactly why, towels, sheets, etc. Minimum clearance is 5mm so plenty more than needed. 👍 If you saw how tight the are usually installed in kitchen units this is pretty roomy. 😀
Amazing fair play!
All the best for the 100k. How you aren't sponsored by Osmo is a mystery!
😂 just stick with what I know works. 👍
That powerful magnetic level is a cool idea, I’ve bought a lot of stud finders and never really satisfied with there performance.
Cool trick Thanks
~Chuck
Tim’s version: I suppose it’s just about ok
My version: perfect 🤣!
Class work as always Tim, particularly in materials-constrained lockdown 👍
Excellent job👌
Great work but doesnt it make it difficult for the boiler engineer due to access restriction?
Not really, the doors clip off and there is loads of access to all pipes, valves and the boiler. If you think that most boilers are tucked inside a kitchen cabinet. The actual clearance required is something like 5mm so lots more than that here.
Check boiler fitting instructions if cupboard needs venting, not usual on modern appliances but some do, also can you remove the front from the boiler? Regards Jim.

For the exact match it’s best to get from same manufacturer as grout. I use BAL. the grey I used on the vanity was a standard grey hence why it’s a little too dark, I’ve ordered the proper stuff for the other parts. 👍
The Restoration Couple Awesome! I’ll take a look at BAL. Thanks Tim! Looking forward to the next video.
Please upload all footage, I'm looking at doing my bathroom later this year.
Another brilliant effort from Tim
Maybe colour match the fan plastic to the cabinet colour will certainly take your eye off it
Might be worth trying. 👍
Hi does anyone know the colour of the top coat/finish paint?
In Canada it would cost $8000.00 from brick to done to put in a small 3pcs bathroom , great job you should be very happy
God I envy your multi skill
Hey buddy, fantastic video and I love your new bathroom... Just please stop putting your hand on the back of the track like you did at 1:17 - If it kicks back you won't have a very good day. Stay safe and keep up the videos :)
hey, great videos! and very particular attention to detail ;-). what do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking?
Has 2 drills sitting on the counter. Uses a third drill cause he can...🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣
name of the paint ? and is it easy to clean from a sprayer ? :p
Just water based satin wood from dulux. Yes cleans out easy as anything else.
@@TheRestorationCouple Thanks for taking the time to reply, i'm gonna try this in my utility room, just dreading the clean up :) keep up the good work
Did you use a standard emulsion in the sparayer im looking to do a vanity pretty new to spraying and don’t know where to start when it comes to paint
It was an acrylic satinwood
Finished!! Yay! And you ARE too hard on yourself!!
What paint did you use for a first coat of spray?
MDF sealer with roller then leyland acrylic primer undercoat. 👍
@@TheRestorationCouple thanks for letting me know
I wouldn't bother planing the back of the top to get it flush with the wall if I was gonna put tiles on top of it..
i love your videos mate, but you shouldn't be taking the boiler casing off as its part of a room seal
Great work Tim, only issue is the boiler front cover shouldn't be removed unless if you have a flue analyser to carry out a sweep test as it's a room sealed boiler and the front cover seal was disturbed so should it be re-checked by a qualified engineer

I wish you'd broken it Into step by step talk over as I don't know what is going on unfortunately as it's too fast for me to understand how and what you're doing
It would have been several hours, much of which would be covering old ground. Nearly everything has been covered in detailed episodes/series before. 👍

let me sort out your boile? plumbing looks messy
