@@noobyxviii I think most codes state you still need to label the outlet as protected if using a breaker, or running another outlet downstream of the GFI one.
I didn't see a floating ground wire. Two wire on a GFCI outlet is useless if it cannot find ground to trip. Same for a surge protector. It depends on that ground wire to function.
For future reference, in a bathroom the drywall you would want to install is greenboard (moisture resistant), or purpleboard (moisture and mold resistant).
Well actually you don't want to save just a few bucks for the difference and assure the thing with green drywall 👌 You shouldn't have problem if the room is well ventilated
@@ModernBuilds Don't worry about it. You used a primer and multiple layers of paint with more primer in it. That's enough layers to stop moisture as long as there is a good working vent.
Super excited to be sharing full room renovation episodes on this income property!!! It's been a lot of work to get here, but we've got lot more videos like this planned so stay tuned!!!
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.
Proper finish over drywall and proper ventilation is way more important than using green board. Most contractors don’t even use it anymore in bathrooms. It’s really not that much more beneficial. It will mold as well without ventilation and being finished properly.
Great job! Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. Double vanity was the way to go. Really love the mirror. That’s a perfect high end piece. Happy you didn’t go all out on the bath tub fixtures. Those are nice, but people need to be reminded to match the price point of the home they’re selling.
I saw that too. If he's selling, the home inspector will call that out--but that's an easy 20-40 bucks fix. If he's renting, that's a potential lawsuit.
Rocker switch for the light switch with the same faceplate as the outlet. As far as door handles, levers are more useful if you have your hands full. No single to double sink install clips?
It's looking so good. LOVE the tip about how to smooth out caulk without having a mess all over you fingers. I love the finished edge caulk can give, but never love having to stop over and over to wipe off my fingers.
Thats a great tip with silicon! Will keep in mind since im undergoing bathroom remodelling too!!! I love the wooden tones along with all the whites and grays!!!!!!
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
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
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.
@NikkiVelazquez Ive seen people leave comments in different videos saying the same thing about the paint turning yellow. What brand/type of tub paint did you use?
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.
For sure gonna regret using that kit on a fiberglass tub and surround. Once it peels(and it will!) there’s no getting it off. Can’t use any chemical stripper and can’t sand it off without digging into the tub🤦🏽 save yourself the time and money the first time and get it professionally refinished. Or you’re looking at getting a new tub and surround!
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?
I used the plastic resin type moulding in my bathroom. Unless you’re up close nosey you can’t tell and it will never soak up water if there is a leak. I think this is my favorite part of the reno so far.
Definitely a budget flip and good enough to move in and change stuff later (shower surround (80s), orange peel (cheap motels), MDF (not water friendly), grey toned flooring (great option 5 years ago but on the way out),... but it looks a hell of a lot better! I am happy you didn't jump on the every-fixture-black wagon. Great instruction as usual.
Bro how much do you think the house is worth? This isn’t a 500,000 house lmao. Also what texture would you suggest? Orange Peel is the most popular texture probably in the country and it’s used in almost every new build today. I agree with the grey flooring being out
I prefer showers to have a hose attachment instead of one shower head. The hose attachment is great when cleaning the walls / tub as well as rinsing the soap out of our naughty bits.
Loving the aesthetics of this bathroom and your kitchen island; they look cohesive together! Also, I enjoy watching how you install even the littlest things- like the towel holder as I’ve always been intrigued how some things were screwed or glued on, etc., so as a sometime-DIYer-fixer myself- it’s great to learn! I love the white and wood tones all around! 👏🏼
Great explanations. I love the detail in why and how you do things. I'm a new viewer and will be referencing your work for my own projects, huge thanks.
Thank you for always educating us. When we bought our house i updated the receptacles as well as the lights switches. You might consider changing out the light switches as well.
Wow! Went to a tile store today and I'm still getting over the sticker shock! We have a 60's era condo to flip and the bathroom is a crime scene.😆Your suggestions and demos could not be more timely. Would never have considered painting the sheet tile in our tub surround, but the results you achieved here (and the savings!) have made me a believer. Learned so much. I'm you new sub!
I really love it! I love the vanity. I don't mind the white because you brought in textures and wood accents. Wish I was younger and could do projects like that.
So you are going to work more on that same house where you upgraded the front porch. Glad to see more about it. Very modern and clean lined bathroom. Blessings from central Georgia.
You are truly creative.. I loved how the walls were sanded and painted in an excellent manner, more than the companies we ask for to paint the house... and the white color has a more beautiful appearance and gives more space. Keep going 👍👍✅️
Pit some silicone on the bottom of the toilet, or go to Temu and buy the special 3m seal that wraps around. It looks beautiful and keeps out the water.
Mad skills! Love the vanity and I learned something new watching this video. Who knew that you could spray soapy water on caulk to spread it evenly without a mess?
As usual another awesome video! The house is really coming along beautifully. At first I was like No don’t take out the vanity but then I saw the new one and YES the new one is way better. It really give the bathroom a modern feel. Keep up the great work ❤
It looks great. That mirror wow. You seem like a great guy. A lot of moisture as a washroom. You could have saved yourself so much time & money after all your hard work leaving it smooth. End: it does look fabulous.
You smoothed all the walls then added texture….no! It’s so much more high end to just smooth out the skim coat….people pay big money to skim coat over orange peel texture……
Very cool! You put a lot of effort in to these and we can tell but just curious where's the exhaust for the shower? and I was looking forward to the plumbing for the vanity. Those faucets are pretty slick.
I have also learned the lesson that repairing drywall is often much harder and takes more time than just gutting and replacing all of it. Although, the disposal costs, cost of new drywall and fasteners, etc. does add up.
great work. I'm noticing a pattern that you really like wall texture; it makes sense in a lot of older homes, as it gives them a classic and historic feel. How did you deal with sealing the window against rot and water intrusion? Both our bathrooms have them and they need extensive work, but I'm scratching my head on how to deal with them.
yes, in any area with high humidity it would be a good idea. it's not strictly necessary however. but it's not much more expensive for that added piece of mind.
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.
Thanks for this video. I have been putting off my DIY BR renovation and this video makes it less intimidating. Might get the same mirror and faucets, very cool choices. My BR is the same dimensions it looks like, also with tile. I was planning to use a SDS Plus hammer to remove my tile from 1980. It's installed directly on the concrete slab. I am now doubting that approach lol...thoughts?
...interesting. Why is the door so small? Should have seen if you could have made it wider. Why didn't you paint the contractor door? Where's the GFCI outlet?
Wow man love to see the progress u have mad one ur own you really knew what u were doing with this one. Just wished u had more wood tones esp with that toilet shelf
I love the upgrades, and the selection of the vanity, mirror and toilet. Very nice run-through on the processes, and also took notes from the comments section about possibly using moisture-resistance (green board) drywall and include the GFCI outlet near water sources. But still overall a fantastic job!!
Looks great. I would prefer more counter space than double sinks. I have exactly the same size bathroom, I think 2 sinks in such a small space isn't warranted. My bath was refinished by the previous owner, after approximately 2 years the paint is peeling and looks terrible. I will be updating my bathroom soon with a walk in shower. Don't forget to clean off the pencil marks around your mirror lol. You did a great job
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.
Brother, word of advice with the caulk, thats painters caulk meant for tape and paint, I would strongly urge to pay a bit more for dynaflex 230 and you wont regret it, wont shrink as much and will last much much longer.

you should have used water resistant drywall in the bathroom no? it's not that much more expensive and helps a lot with future proofing also, in the doors, maybe there it's not a real issue with climate, but for sure use foam before trim if you live in a cold spot for insulation :DDD
Honestly, i assumed this was a basic DIY'er doing a bathroom renovation. The walls in orange peel effect are awful. The whole bathroom down to the flooring, was cheap looking. The only thing that was nice, was the vanity unit.
8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2
@@MadDog_Rules the vanity was too nice to rent. spending 700 bucks on something you can get for 100 is def not worth the investment on a rental i think the issue is that mike is not sure if he's going to rent or flip. so he'll over do some stuff and cheap out on others. which might cost him in the end (but i'm sure he makes enough from youtube to afford to lose a bit on the house)
No sense in using low expansion 1 part foam in the door frame for an interior door. Maybe a tiny tiny change in noise but meaningless considering nothing else on those interior walls is air sealed and no cavity insulation to reduce noise.
8 หลายเดือนก่อน
@@baxt1412 not noise but heat. rly depends on where you live. my city ranges from -5C to 40C. we'd never leave that open in the bathroom and lose heat to the hallway
@ minimal change. Use an energy modeling software and you’ll see. The total surface area that takes up in relation to the total surface area of the bathroom is negligible. You’re talking maybe a 1/2” width, 17 feet in length for the doorway, and 4 inches in depth. Meaningless compared to the total surface area of the walls, ceiling, and floor
Nice! I can not find the name/color of the Flooret flooring? The provided link just sent me to the main website but not the color name. just curious about the color you installed
15:19 i think more important than a USB port in an outlet in the bathroom is a GFCI outlet for safety around water.
Yep!! It’s in the mail, god tip!
@@ModernBuilds a gfci breaker also works depending on code
@@noobyxviii I think most codes state you still need to label the outlet as protected if using a breaker, or running another outlet downstream of the GFI one.
I didn't see a floating ground wire. Two wire on a GFCI outlet is useless if it cannot find ground to trip. Same for a surge protector. It depends on that ground wire to function.
Yeah what's the need of a USB charger in the bathroom anyway? I put GFCI outlets with built-in nite lite into my bathrooms
For future reference, in a bathroom the drywall you would want to install is greenboard (moisture resistant), or purpleboard (moisture and mold resistant).
I thought that was just for showers and stiff

Not using moisture and mold resistant drywall in a bathroom is decidedly NOT superpro.
I believe it is purple or dark blue on the back......my thoughts exactly. I want that shower curtain.
Proper finish over drywall and proper ventilation is way more important than using green board. Most contractors don’t even use it anymore in bathrooms. It’s really not that much more beneficial. It will mold as well without ventilation and being finished properly.
I suggest synthetic baseboard trim. Water on the floor is inevitable.
Great job! Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. Double vanity was the way to go. Really love the mirror. That’s a perfect high end piece. Happy you didn’t go all out on the bath tub fixtures. Those are nice, but people need to be reminded to match the price point of the home they’re selling.
I appreciate it a ton! Yeah, I didn’t think it’d be a justified expense to complete gut the shower setup! Thanks for watching 😁
GFCI!!!!!! That outlet you installed is less than 3 feet from the faucet. Therefore, it MUST be GFCI protected!!
On the to- do list 👍🏼👍🏼
I saw that too. If he's selling, the home inspector will call that out--but that's an easy 20-40 bucks fix. If he's renting, that's a potential lawsuit.
@@ModernBuilds Awesome! I just see inspectors fail those every time.
That cabinet will be a pain to dust and keep clean and the space is way too small for two sinks.
I would add cabinet inserts - high and low that pull out. I think the container store has them. Beautiful bathroom.
Rocker switch for the light switch with the same faceplate as the outlet. As far as door handles, levers are more useful if you have your hands full.
No single to double sink install clips?
Why not insulate for sound-proofing while the walls are open?
It's looking so good. LOVE the tip about how to smooth out caulk without having a mess all over you fingers. I love the finished edge caulk can give, but never love having to stop over and over to wipe off my fingers.

It looks nice, but I think it's too small of a bathroom to have a 2-sink vanity. I would have opted for more counter space and one sink.
If it's an old house and have only one or two washroom, that would be a better option.
No exhaust fan in that bathroom? We need an exhaust fan install video.
Plus textured walls. That sounds like mildew or mold to me.
An exhaust fan isn’t required if there is a window (that opens) in the bathroom.
@@katecart8790 yes, but most ppl dont open the window while taking a shower. Especially in the winter.

Thought I was the only one with these thoughts.
Depends where you live.
I like the bathroom a lot
I agree with what you said during are saying previous bathroom remodel, white feels sterile but in a bathroom it should feel clean
I love it! You certainly have a gift! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I don't understand why people don't put in bath fans.
Great job, Mike! What an improvement!
perhaps depends on local code but really should be absolutely required

How did you deal with sealing the window against rot and water intrusion? Both our bathrooms have them and they need extensive work, but I'm scratching my head on how to deal with them.
Hey Mike, I stopped the video to say I'm no contractor, but shouldn't you be using the green or blue sheetrock in the bathroom? Just asking?
Just in shower area
yes, in any area with high humidity it would be a good idea. it's not strictly necessary however. but it's not much more expensive for that added piece of mind.
I just love the transformation, you did a great job!!
Great job!
Is there anything you’d do differently if you had to redo a bathroom the same way ?
Love it.. I wish you had a way to find out how the tile paint held in the tub and walls in a couple of months
Looks great, I would have used a Decora light switch to match the outlet.
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.

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.
Why is everyone hating so much??? I think it looks AMAZING brother ❤❤
Brother, word of advice with the caulk, thats painters caulk meant for tape and paint, I would strongly urge to pay a bit more for dynaflex 230 and you wont regret it, wont shrink as much and will last much much longer.
you should have used water resistant drywall in the bathroom no?
it's not that much more expensive and helps a lot with future proofing
also, in the doors, maybe there it's not a real issue with climate, but for sure use foam before trim if you live in a cold spot for insulation :DDD
Honestly, i assumed this was a basic DIY'er doing a bathroom renovation. The walls in orange peel effect are awful. The whole bathroom down to the flooring, was cheap looking. The only thing that was nice, was the vanity unit.
@@MadDog_Rules the vanity was too nice to rent. spending 700 bucks on something you can get for 100 is def not worth the investment on a rental
i think the issue is that mike is not sure if he's going to rent or flip. so he'll over do some stuff and cheap out on others. which might cost him in the end (but i'm sure he makes enough from youtube to afford to lose a bit on the house)
No sense in using low expansion 1 part foam in the door frame for an interior door. Maybe a tiny tiny change in noise but meaningless considering nothing else on those interior walls is air sealed and no cavity insulation to reduce noise.
@@baxt1412 not noise but heat.
rly depends on where you live.
my city ranges from -5C to 40C. we'd never leave that open in the bathroom and lose heat to the hallway
@ minimal change. Use an energy modeling software and you’ll see. The total surface area that takes up in relation to the total surface area of the bathroom is negligible. You’re talking maybe a 1/2” width, 17 feet in length for the doorway, and 4 inches in depth. Meaningless compared to the total surface area of the walls, ceiling, and floor
This was really fun to watch thanks for posting
How about a GFI outlet next to the sink?
It looks great, but doesn’t it need a vent?
You’re amazing ! Wish you lived in Atlanta.
Is the vanity better with legs? Does it look cheap?
Nice! I can not find the name/color of the Flooret flooring? The provided link just sent me to the main website but not the color name. just curious about the color you installed
Do you caulk between the baseboard and lvp flooring?
Is that a gfci usb outlet? If so I'd like the link to that. And if not, I think outlets on bathrooms and kitchens need to be gfci per nec code.
Did you just pick a random wire for rhe hot? Or is their some tell as to which one is which besides neutral
The trick with the spray can of texture is to warm it up using a bucket of hot water, then shake REALLY well.
This is an off topic question but, how do you work around old homes with lead paint? How do you mitigate the risk of inhaling lead.
did you not tape any of the drywall? (except the ceiling)
I used mesh tape instead of paper tape
How do you know if a wall is load-bearing?? Great work!!!
Did you not use drywall tape on your joints?
Amazing job!! 👏
This looks like a guest bath to me, a double sink is over kill… also I am skeptical about the bathtub paint. All in all great job and great video.
Double sink in “guest” bath is better for families with more than 1 kid.
How did you do the double water supply from a single 🤔?
Curious? Would would you put texture on walls you just smoothed out>
