Awesome. You can become a handyman by start off with small projects. I have a ton of short videos teaching/showing how to do various things if you want to learn.
Awesome job! Everything looks perfect. And thank you for explaing what you're doing throughout and not showing your shopping trips or talking about family stuff. Well edited and to the point.
Beautiful! Loved the idea of using pavers for the shower curb / toilet template -smart. Trying to convince my hubby to covert our tub to stand up shower based on how it only took a little over 10 and a half minutes to complete the whole project 😊
Man, nice job and nice documentation. My wife and I started today on the demo. We are exhausted but we got the tub out. You have inspired me to finish up.
You can do it. I renovated half of my house by myself and started off knowing the basics. Once you get more confidence you’ll be more willing to give it a go.
It turned out really nice. I think the light fixture and glass door were my faves. I'm also a little concerned as to why you didn't use a pan liner, especially since you built your wallboard into your pan. If your shower was to leak, you're already 2 for 3. Your only defense you have right now is the waterproof membrane. It was really good work tho, I bought an acrylic pan because the thought of laying a pan was too much for me. I'd watch your shower tho. Apparently you can buy a tool (think infrared) that can show leaks, I saw a home inspector use it
Indeed I enjoyed this transformation from tub to shower and do far uour video is the most teacher friendly. I feel like my boys and I can follow your step by step video snd do a thorough job at least.
1 thing I'd say that is important when you're redoing your bathroom. Change all the valves to prevent leaks since you're already in the process. I work in restoration and the most common claims come from busted valves. The last thing you want is to have a updated bathroom and go through it again because of water damage. I want to point something that will make your life easier, not saying what he did was wrong. Connect the sink faucet to the top beforehand to save yourself from trying to do it in tight space.
We purchased a 12 unit apartment complex and are slowly remodeling all of them. Changing out the stop valves (toilet, sinks, dishwasher, fridge) is absolutely something we always do. The units are 20 years old and it costs about $45 per apartment to replace all of these (convert from multi turn to 1/4 turn). It doesn't matter if they need it or not... It's just nice to have them done!
That's pretty much exactly what I want, waiting on the labor quote rite now. I already purchased new toilet. Light fixture, sink fixtures. I love that tile 12x24 is what it looks like. Soon as I get an acceptable quote it's on
Thank you for sharing My wife and I have been thinking about remodeling our bathroom. I do not lay tile but I can do everything but. Just leave the surfaces ready for the tile installer. Those shelves in the wall are quite useful and I will probably do a couple.. Better than have anything sticking out.
Bathrooms are great small areas to practice laying tile yourself. Defintely something worth learning and trying to do yourself if you feel comfortable doing it. Let me know if you have questions and I'll be happy to help.
Wish I had the patience to even attempt something like this myself..lol. I got my guy coming next week to remodel my guest bath. Same exact layout as yours. I’m converting from tub to walk-in, but not changing floors or vanity. Instead he will regrout the floor and tile all the way around to the edge of the vanity mirror and then same on the other side to the edge of the closet door. Charging me $6k including all construction materials. I bought the tiles, shower door and fixtures.
@@Daddicated how long did it take you? You knocked it out the park dude, I’m sure it’s a great feeling walking into it every time knowing it’s all your own work. 👍🏽
This little th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
It’s beyond my skill level as well but I still like to try new things. I’ll screw up and make mistakes but in the end I’ll gain experience and learn something. So don’t be afraid to always challenge yourself and try. Basically learn as you go.
props for the trying to do it all yourself... few notes ( take it with a grain of salt as its too late to do anything now) uncoupling membrane between the tile and the concrete would prevent your tiles from cracking in a couple of years.
Great video, and thanks for documenting your process! I know you stated here that it took you a few months to complete, but in terms of actual working days, about how many would you say it took? I'm planning to be out on vacation for a few weeks, and I'm contemplating if I could complete this if I worked for 7 days straight, assuming I have all necessary materials and tools on hand. What do you think?
It really depends how fast you work and how many hours you put into it. I mean it’s a lot to complete in 7 days. Here’s my breakdown: Day 1: demo shower wall, floor, remove toilet, remove vanity Day 2: shower valve/plumbing if your replacing it. Install shower floor liner, install Durock board Day 3: install shower wall tile Day 4: install shower floor tile Day 5: finish tile/ grout everything Day 6: install toilet, vanity, faucets, drain Day 7: paint and touch ups. This is a rough plan and honestly doing tile what takes the longest. So depending on your skill level, the size of tile, how many cuts u need, you may need to add another day for tiling to this plan. Plus I didn’t include trim work here as well. I mean if you will be putting 10-12 hour days for 7 days straight then I think you might be able to pull it off. However, if you plan on working 6-8 hours per day then it may be hard. Plus don’t forget always plan on oh crap days too, where you don’t have a right tool or you are missing something and u need to run to the hardware store because something ran out or u forgot something. Anyway I hope this helps. Keep me posted and let me know how it went.
I also noticed you didn’t water proof at all around the shower control valve where water is known to settle and get behind the wall…they make a waterproof gasket that you mud and tile over that enforces the valve area and ensures no water gets behind your wall
Beautiful Sir! I have a question though. While you had demolished your older tub and toilet, what happened to the water for the rest of the house? How did you continue using other valves while everything was open in the bathroom you constructed? Thanks
So when I was demolishing everything I didn’t touch my valves until I was ready to replace them. The valves were always in closed position so I didn’t need to worry about turning the water off. Once I was at the point of replace the valve, I turned off the water supply, replaced the valve, and then turned it back on with keeping the new valve in closed position.
That's beautiful. I have a massive tub to pull, and I want to convert it to a walk-in shower. I also have a smaller shower that I want to remove and convert to a linen closet.
i hope it holds up, as i see an issue with the shower floor. w. if you simply do a mud slope without pre slope, then the drain should of been a bonding drain and with a bonded drain a sheet membrane or complete waterproofing liquid needs to be used with proper sheet membrane where floor meets walls...if you did indeed use a liquid waterproofing on top of mud slope you should of used a different drain as now water can seep down under drain from the gaps between tile and drain and get into mud bed, if it was a bonding drain that water would just go into plumbing, thats the difference. or you could of used a 3 piece drain with a pan liner and pre slope. good luck and the end product turned out nice
I think I should be okay. I got concrete foundation so even if a little bit seeps thru it should absorb it. But I made sure to use a lot of waterproofing liquid so I'm pretty sure I should be okay. But thanks for the suggestion.
Agree waterproof the entire wall. You'll regret it when the water seeps through the grout. Even if you seal.the grout. Water finds a way through and cement board is porous. I can't say mold enough times.
Thank you. I worked for my dad doing tile for 5 years. Plus learned a lot from watching him do remodels around the house. Plus learned from other youtubers. At the end of the day, you just have to not be afraid of trying doing it yourself.
Beautiful! 2 years later, I'm curious about your shower fixtures, are you still happy with them, and why or why not? Maybe short video? :) I'm deciding what shower fixtures I want in mine. Thanks for the video
Thanks. Honestly, plumbing isn’t too bad. And it’s actually very inexpensive to practice just buy some fittings and practice in the garage until your comfortable with it. You got this.
Wow! Great job! Am also thinking of remodeling my bathroom and my bathroom is same size as yours. I don’t know whether this question is asked already since I can’t go through all the comments. What tile did you use on the wall and floor and also on the shower floor? A contractor is coming this Thursday to see my bath and give an estimation. Thank you for the very detail video.
Looks good. I'd say two things besides what's already been said. #1: Stay away from the blue glue, it cracks. Go with the clear glue. #2: two 90 degree pvc connections make it more challenging if you ever have to snake that drain. Jackhammer down enough to get two 45s' on there. 👍
Should have waterproofed the entire wall. You'll regret it when the water seeps through the grout. Even if you seal.the grout. Water finds a way through and cement board is porous. I can't say mold enough times.
Wow such a detailed and well explained video. Turned out great as well. Your bathroom looks exactly like mine in terms of structure so I’m thinking I’ll be able to do the same here. What was the overall cost of the project if you remember and also was there anything thing you would have done differently or paid someone else to do? Thanks in advance
Overall cost was about $3,200. Umm 🤔 what I would differently. Well a few things. 1. Use pex for plumbing instead of CPVC 2. Waterproof the entire shower instead of just seams 3. Don’t forget the rubber liner for the shower floor 😅 4. Buy a better tile cutter so I can do all my tile cuts in the bathroom and don’t have to walk outside for all the cuts. Tiling the shower took me the longest. I think that’s about it. Overall I think it turned out pretty good.
@@Daddicated I was wondering if you were going to line the bottom of the shower with a pan or other waterproofing. Cpvc isn't bad when it's new but becomes very brittle over time. Did you seal around the flange for the pop up assembly in the vanity? If not it will most likely leak when you fill the sink and probably even just running the faucet.
@@XSR_RUGGER Yeah, I waterproofed the pan with waterpoofing and membrane in the corners. I know it wasn't the best option but it was what I had to do based on where I was in the remodel. Not sure what you mean about the pop up assembly but I don't have any leaks in my vanity so far. I think I'm good.
This is REALLY close to the look Im going for. Do you remember the name or item number of the tile you put on the shower walls? That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for
@@SuperSaraSized what tile did you end up choosing for your bathroom? I got San Giorgio Calacatta Dali from Floor & Decor but this one looks like Castille Levante family from Floor & decor.
@@MrDjchaz75 no they are not the same. Floor tiles are bigger. Plus the shower wall tiles can’t go on the floor they are too soft and probably would break with time
Loving the finished look, but have to admit that I'm upset that you didn't at least find a place that you could donate the mirror and toilet to. There are so many places in almost every town and city that accept home materials like that its nuts.
I was literally thinking the same thing, like I know he’s joking about breaking a mirror! Should’ve just broken my heart instead. That mirror looked great. Still great job, thanks for the tutorial.
Great job on the entire reno. They say hindsight is 20/20. Would you realign the first row of tile to ensure that tiles align better around the window? At 2:37 you can see two horizontal strips of tile around the window. A single strip might look cleaner. Amazing job nonetheless.
Yeah probably not a bad idea. Something I definitely didn’t consider during the layout process. I think I was more worried about top and bottom pieces to be big enough. It’s a learning process every time u do something
I don’t disagree covering full shower would of been better but at the same time I covered 2 feet from the ground. The rest doesn’t get a ton of water but light overspray. So between grout, cement, cement board I think it will be okay.
I messed up. You are suppose to put the shower pan first before cement board. But I did cement board and tiled the top part of the shower so this was plan b. Not ideal but it worked.
Nice job 👍 Just curious, how long did it take the TH-cam algorithm to pick this up? You definitely did a great job on video and kept everyone wanting to see more.
Wow. Thanks for stopping by, I kept seeing your shorts on my feed for awhile now. It took about 8 months before it started seeing traction and then it was off and on like a roller coaster. I get like a nice spike for a month then it goes down then a few months later another spike and it goes down. If your curious reach out by email and I can send you a screenshot.
Nice job just a couple tips that might make your life a little easier. For me I’d leave all the fixtures like vanity and toilet out of the bathroom until all tile work is done. It’s been my experience that working space is always at a premium the more the better. Another tip is attach the faucet to the sink then set the sink saves your back. Only other tip that works for me is water proof and mud work I complete it all first. Then all tile, then all grout. Seems to save time especially if there’s a lot of cleanup everyday. Your not putting away all tile stuff only to have to dig it all out again. Just tips no right and wrong thought you did a really nice job.
Thanks. It took about 4-6 months of working on it off and on mostly weekends. There were some holidays and vacations in the middle of it so that’s why it took so long. And yes I did it alone.
Love that you showed step by step in what you did and how you did it. I was wanting remodel my bathroom to similarly to what you did to yours. Please could you, tell me how much it cost you for the whole project? Thank you.
Great video, my big question is why didn't you just use a fiberglass shower pan. Hell of a lot of work to build a base from scratch that could fail in the future.
It's great with DIY for such remodel. The crucial thing I don't have much time to do this. The material is around 3K, while the labor would cost 5K if get contractor?
I’m not sure what the price to get a contractor is but I imagine is a lot. I was told it can cost anywhere from $5k-$10k if you hired someone to do it all. Cuz keep in mind contractors mark-up the cost of materials as well in addition to their labor costs.
Great job! Although you didn't mention it, I see you installed a countdown timer for the exhaust fan. Those are great, I've installed them on all my bath fans.
I really like all of your videos. Could you please let me know the order from beginning to end of project? I am going to try to do this project in 12 days in December. Thank you
What do you mean tell you the order? Did you not watch the video. That’s your typical order. Demo everything as much as you can with exception of the toilet, u want to save that for very last so u can still use it. While u working on shower walls and stuff. Then once u ready for floors you remove toilet and do the flooring. Good luck let me know if you have any specific questions.
Nothing to be scared off. Just do some research and see how others are doing it and then try doing it yourself. You can also practice with some small pieces in your garage first to make yourself more comfortable.
@@rochellec.1891 What's the worst that could happen. The worst case is you will have to redo something or at last resort, you will have to hire a professional to do it. But think about this, there are so many tutorials out there that you can learn from first. Take in as much as you can for the particular project you are doing and then try to do it yourself. If stuck feel free to ask questions and I'm sure people will be happy to help. Fear is a liar. So don't be afraid. You can do this.
@@Daddicated I fear that I may discover mold and will not be able to fix it on my own and be stuck in a project where I have no clue on how to treat the mold etc and end up costing me more since I will have to contact a professional. But you are absolutely right. I should not fear but watch more tutorials to help me and ask you or others if something comes up that I feel stuck on. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I hope I can redo my entire bathroom one day this summer.
@@rochellec.1891 So here is your worst-case scenario. You discovered mold, which is bad but you hire a mold expert that helps you get rid of it. Which yes would suck. But the rest afterward you can still do yourself which will still save you a ton of money. Trust me you will make small mistakes but you will learn a lot more through the process and your confidence level will go through the roof. Even if you tear everything down and have a professional do the rest you will save money that way as well. So kick the fear to the curb, roll your sleeves up, and get to work. 😜
1:43 the mesh and cement is mfg. recommended, it stabilizes the seams, and will be great to have if your waterproofing fails over time, otherwise just using mesh tape is probably a waste since its not doing much good. If skipping thinsetting with the mesh tape, fiberglass tape/membrane with your waterproofing is a better route. Hardibacker says to use it. Not sure about Durock. Just something to consider.
I did my bathroom about 20 years ago and didn't bother sealing the joints and screw holes on the cement board on the walls, as it didn't make sense to me and seemed overkill.. it was all going to be covered with tiles and glue anyways... There have never been any leaks or water issues ever. It's all still as solid and sealed as on day 1. Just my opinion..
The results are good, and everything is acceptable except for one thing. You forgot to install a shower pan liner. There are different kinds of products you can get from Oatey to Schluter If the waterproofing around the drain fails, you'll have a big problem. A liner is installed to ensure it will hold water, designed to drain through weep holes. When you do the next project, you'll be better able to keep doing what you do. Not many people can tackle that
Great Job, I'm so happy I found your video as we start our Guest Bathroom remodel on Monday and I'm nervous but our Contractor says everything will be okay and he hopes to finish in 5-6 business days as long as we don't run into any issues when the walls come down. I'm curious how long did it take you to complete this project time wise from start to finish? We have very similar tastes as to your tile choices and Vanity . Your finished Bathroom is Fabulous. How happy you must be every time you walk in there. Thank you Susie R from Cocoa Beach FL.
Thank you. Well it’s nice to have a contractor do it for you since it will be super fast and you don’t have a bathroom torn down for a few months. It took me like 4-6 months. There was holidays in between and a vacation so made it longer.
Could you send a link to the tile you used on the shower walls, or at least type and size? Looking for a very similar product for my future bathroom remodel. Thanks!
Props to the one who can do this all on his/her own. To me it’s like a miracle. Wouldn’t be able to do this on my own. Great job!
Thank you for your kind words.

I think I should be okay. I got concrete foundation so even if a little bit seeps thru it should absorb it. But I made sure to use a lot of waterproofing liquid so I'm pretty sure I should be okay. But thanks for the suggestion.
I would recommend a waterproof membrane on the walls!
Maybe on the next one. 👍🏼
Agree waterproof the entire wall. You'll regret it when the water seeps through the grout. Even if you seal.the grout.
Water finds a way through and cement board is porous.
I can't say mold enough times.
@@walkermom100 it will be fine. I’m sure in 15 years it will need to be remodeled again as styles and designs change.
@@Daddicated prolly won't last that long. But oh well.
@@walkermom100 I’m pretty sure it will. Lol but we’ll see. I’ll let u know in 15 years. Lol
Excellent end-to-end work... on time laps !... perfect work!
Thank you good sir. I appreciate your kind words.
It is beautiful!! Congratulations on being so talented.
Where did you learn all that? Impressedn!!
Thank you. I worked for my dad doing tile for 5 years. Plus learned a lot from watching him do remodels around the house. Plus learned from other youtubers. At the end of the day, you just have to not be afraid of trying doing it yourself.
Beautiful! 2 years later, I'm curious about your shower fixtures, are you still happy with them, and why or why not? Maybe short video? :) I'm deciding what shower fixtures I want in mine. Thanks for the video
My shower fixtures work great thus far. No issues with any of them. Not sure what I would say in the short video other than they look and work great.
Wow amazing job! You make it look not as challenging. Love the commentary step by step as well.
Thank you. It’s not too bad. Just takes time since I’m an amateur. Lol
Awesome job your skill and patience are commendable
Thank you.
thank you so much for sharing. we've been planning to remodel our bathroom ourselves. gonna start this weekend. wish us luck :D
It’s an exciting journey but at the same time it’s time consuming. At the end of it all it’s worth it. Good luck. 😊👊🏼
Well how did yours turn out?
@@Daddicated we have to put our project on hold. Turned out it was too big of a job for us since we had a major plumbing issue 😅
@@nazalya21 oh no. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can get to it soon.
Great work Im looking to do this but can’t do the plumbing you have a great skill
Thanks. Honestly, plumbing isn’t too bad. And it’s actually very inexpensive to practice just buy some fittings and practice in the garage until your comfortable with it. You got this.
Wow! Great job! Am also thinking of remodeling my bathroom and my bathroom is same size as yours. I don’t know whether this question is asked already since I can’t go through all the comments. What tile did you use on the wall and floor and also on the shower floor? A contractor is coming this Thursday to see my bath and give an estimation. Thank you for the very detail video.

Nice work but what about the waterproofing underlayment (applied before the mudset) for the shower
Yeah I messed that up a little bit but ended up waterproofing the mudset instead.
Hello! I really love this remodel and was wondering how much time this took as well as approx cost? Thanks!
5-6 months with a lot of breaks plus holidays in between. About $3200.
@@Daddicated when it's your only bathroom how do you get through it 🤔
@@snappyfish it’s a guest bathroom so there’s others in the home to use
Looks great - lots of hard work - kudos to you for knowing how to do all that on your own!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
I am planning to remodel our guest bathroom as well. You made it seem so easy lol. Great job btw
Thank you and good luck. It’s a lot of work but rewarding in the end. You will make a ton of mistakes but you will also learn so much.
Looks good. I'd say two things besides what's already been said. #1: Stay away from the blue glue, it cracks. Go with the clear glue. #2: two 90 degree pvc connections make it more challenging if you ever have to snake that drain. Jackhammer down enough to get two 45s' on there. 👍
Thanks for the feedback.
Should have waterproofed the entire wall. You'll regret it when the water seeps through the grout. Even if you seal.the grout.
Water finds a way through and cement board is porous.
I can't say mold enough times.
Next time for sure.
You are amazing!!! I wished my husband knew how to do all that! Lucky woman.
Thank you. ☺️ I’m a lucky guy to have her too.
You can learn how to do it yourself . I did!
@@lshows1 That's how I learned the stuff I didn't know how to do like plumbing and electrical.
Wow such a detailed and well explained video. Turned out great as well. Your bathroom looks exactly like mine in terms of structure so I’m thinking I’ll be able to do the same here. What was the overall cost of the project if you remember and also was there anything thing you would have done differently or paid someone else to do? Thanks in advance
Overall cost was about $3,200. Umm 🤔 what I would differently. Well a few things.
1. Use pex for plumbing instead of CPVC
2. Waterproof the entire shower instead of just seams
3. Don’t forget the rubber liner for the shower floor 😅
4. Buy a better tile cutter so I can do all my tile cuts in the bathroom and don’t have to walk outside for all the cuts. Tiling the shower took me the longest.
I think that’s about it. Overall I think it turned out pretty good.
@@Daddicated Thank you for the reply. really helpful information and yes it turned out awesome. Great choices you made when choosing everything.
@@suleeeeee-x5m no problem. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@Daddicated I was wondering if you were going to line the bottom of the shower with a pan or other waterproofing. Cpvc isn't bad when it's new but becomes very brittle over time. Did you seal around the flange for the pop up assembly in the vanity? If not it will most likely leak when you fill the sink and probably even just running the faucet.
@@XSR_RUGGER Yeah, I waterproofed the pan with waterpoofing and membrane in the corners. I know it wasn't the best option but it was what I had to do based on where I was in the remodel. Not sure what you mean about the pop up assembly but I don't have any leaks in my vanity so far. I think I'm good.
the bathroom came out nice! Can't really learn anything from watching your video, but you did a nice job!
I have detailed videos of almost every step that you can learn from.

This is REALLY close to the look Im going for. Do you remember the name or item number of the tile you put on the shower walls? That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for
@@SuperSaraSized what tile did you end up choosing for your bathroom? I got San Giorgio Calacatta Dali from Floor & Decor but this one looks like Castille Levante family from Floor & decor.
Are the tiles the same as on wall and floor? Looks good!
@@MrDjchaz75 no they are not the same. Floor tiles are bigger. Plus the shower wall tiles can’t go on the floor they are too soft and probably would break with time

Great job, just wonder why you're not replace toilet flange?
I felt like it was in good condition so I didn’t replace it.
Loving the finished look, but have to admit that I'm upset that you didn't at least find a place that you could donate the mirror and toilet to. There are so many places in almost every town and city that accept home materials like that its nuts.
The toilet was actually broken so it wouldn’t be worth to donate it. As far as the mirror I didn’t even think about that.
I was literally thinking the same thing, like I know he’s joking about breaking a mirror! Should’ve just broken my heart instead. That mirror looked great. Still great job, thanks for the tutorial.
@@fingolfin9086 lol. I had to have a little bit fun now.
Fantastic job! But I guess you already know that. Beautiful.
Thanks for the kind words.
Wow this turned out amazing. I totally want to take the tub out of my bathroom and just make it a shower
thanks. Just do it.
Great job on the entire reno. They say hindsight is 20/20. Would you realign the first row of tile to ensure that tiles align better around the window? At 2:37 you can see two horizontal strips of tile around the window. A single strip might look cleaner. Amazing job nonetheless.
Yeah probably not a bad idea. Something I definitely didn’t consider during the layout process. I think I was more worried about top and bottom pieces to be big enough. It’s a learning process every time u do something
Grout wont stop water penetrations, thats why you are supposed to seal the full walls behind with a product like redgard
I don’t disagree covering full shower would of been better but at the same time I covered 2 feet from the ground. The rest doesn’t get a ton of water but light overspray. So between grout, cement, cement board I think it will be okay.
@@Daddicated Grout and cement board are very porous and absorbent
Looks great!! Why did you not install or build a shower pan for the shower? Just curious! Is the mud and waterproofing sufficient.
I messed up. You are suppose to put the shower pan first before cement board. But I did cement board and tiled the top part of the shower so this was plan b. Not ideal but it worked.
Nice job 👍 Just curious, how long did it take the TH-cam algorithm to pick this up? You definitely did a great job on video and kept everyone wanting to see more.
Wow. Thanks for stopping by, I kept seeing your shorts on my feed for awhile now. It took about 8 months before it started seeing traction and then it was off and on like a roller coaster. I get like a nice spike for a month then it goes down then a few months later another spike and it goes down. If your curious reach out by email and I can send you a screenshot.
@@Daddicated thanks!
Man now I’m inspired to learn and do my own bathroom!!!
Yeah man, just start one thing at a time and learn as you go. I’m still a beginner and learning a lot with each project
@@Daddicated well this help me a lot understanding how things work and how to do them
I appreciate the feedback. It’s encouraging to see these types of comments. Thank you.
Nice job just a couple tips that might make your life a little easier. For me I’d leave all the fixtures like vanity and toilet out of the bathroom until all tile work is done. It’s been my experience that working space is always at a premium the more the better. Another tip is attach the faucet to the sink then set the sink saves your back. Only other tip that works for me is water proof and mud work I complete it all first. Then all tile, then all grout. Seems to save time especially if there’s a lot of cleanup everyday. Your not putting away all tile stuff only to have to dig it all out again. Just tips no right and wrong thought you did a really nice job.
Thanks for all the tips. I appreciate them.
What’s the setup called to covert the tub to a shower ??? Cpvc? What are the other pieces and tools for it
Andy amazing video thanks for sharing. How long did it take you to complete the this? And did you do this alone? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Thanks. It took about 4-6 months of working on it off and on mostly weekends. There were some holidays and vacations in the middle of it so that’s why it took so long. And yes I did it alone.
So impressed you knew how to do every step!!
Thank you.
Love that you showed step by step in what you did and how you did it. I was wanting remodel my bathroom to similarly to what you did to yours. Please could you, tell me how much it cost you for the whole project? Thank you.
About $3,200. But this was in 2019 so I would assume it would cost more now.
I’m just sayiing “wow”. Great job!
Thank you so much.
Great video, my big question is why didn't you just use a fiberglass shower pan. Hell of a lot of work to build a base from scratch that could fail in the future.
That’s a pretty good idea. Not sure why I didn’t think of it. Maybe next time I’ll look into it.
Wow! You're amazing. You make everything look so effortless. Your video was enjoyable, informative and very soothing😊. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words.
Nice job man!It looks like did not cost a tonn of money but turned out very well crafted.
Thanks.
Great job! Very nice how he used the blue liquid to seal off water on the DuroRock and give extra and necessary protection.
Thanks. 👍🏼
Very knowledgeable and you showed us the right way and right materials to use when remodeling a bathroom!👍
Appreciate the feedback. Thank you
It was such a joy to watch!!! A plus. 📸📸📸📸📸📸💯
Thank you.
Loved it, but I never worked with remodeling! I wish I could do my small and only bathroom
Yeah it’s harder to do it if you only have one bathroom.
It's great with DIY for such remodel. The crucial thing I don't have much time to do this. The material is around 3K, while the labor would cost 5K if get contractor?
I’m not sure what the price to get a contractor is but I imagine is a lot. I was told it can cost anywhere from $5k-$10k if you hired someone to do it all. Cuz keep in mind contractors mark-up the cost of materials as well in addition to their labor costs.
I didn't see a link to the shower doors you purchased online. Can you post that please. Great looking remodel. Well done!
I bought the shower door from wayfair. I'll have to find the link a bit later.
Great work! I definitely won’t try to do my bathroom on my own as planned!
Start with a small project and eventually work your way up
Very nice! I think I personally would've tiled the wall all the way behind the toilet to the sink...idk
Not a bad idea but it does add a little extra cost.
That was fantastic. I have the same bath layout and just waiting on the stock market to give my money back, lol Too broke right now.....
Thanks. Yeah the stock market not doing so well at the moment so you may need to wait a little.
Great job! Although you didn't mention it, I see you installed a countdown timer for the exhaust fan. Those are great, I've installed them on all my bath fans.
Thanks. Yeah they are the best especially with kids. I think that was one of my firs project I did at the house.
I really like all of your videos. Could you please let me know the order from beginning to end of project? I am going to try to do this project in 12 days in December. Thank you
What do you mean tell you the order? Did you not watch the video. That’s your typical order. Demo everything as much as you can with exception of the toilet, u want to save that for very last so u can still use it. While u working on shower walls and stuff. Then once u ready for floors you remove toilet and do the flooring. Good luck let me know if you have any specific questions.
This time-lapse so so good
Thank you. What made it good for you?
@@Daddicated The time lapse is fast but it shows most of the detail of what you are doing
@@nobodyimportant_23 Thanks for the feedback. It helps to know what people like and want to see more of.
I might need to copy about all of this design for my bathroom remodel 😂 great work!!!!
Go for it. That just means you have great taste. 😅
You crushed it, dude! It looks great 👍
Thank you. I appreciate it.
nice work, i like the small tile idea for a transition
Thanks. Yeah it worked out good
How long did it take you to finish?
Great video! And liked the audio commentary explaining everything!! 👌
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
And here I am scared of replacing my sink shut off valve. Great work!
Nothing to be scared off. Just do some research and see how others are doing it and then try doing it yourself. You can also practice with some small pieces in your garage first to make yourself more comfortable.
I wish I was able to do this. You make it look so easy.
You can. You just have to try and not be afraid of failing at it. Start small projects and work your way up.
@@Daddicated it is due to fear that I may not be able to fix it.
@@rochellec.1891 What's the worst that could happen. The worst case is you will have to redo something or at last resort, you will have to hire a professional to do it. But think about this, there are so many tutorials out there that you can learn from first. Take in as much as you can for the particular project you are doing and then try to do it yourself. If stuck feel free to ask questions and I'm sure people will be happy to help. Fear is a liar. So don't be afraid. You can do this.
@@Daddicated I fear that I may discover mold and will not be able to fix it on my own and be stuck in a project where I have no clue on how to treat the mold etc and end up costing me more since I will have to contact a professional. But you are absolutely right. I should not fear but watch more tutorials to help me and ask you or others if something comes up that I feel stuck on. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I hope I can redo my entire bathroom one day this summer.
@@rochellec.1891 So here is your worst-case scenario. You discovered mold, which is bad but you hire a mold expert that helps you get rid of it. Which yes would suck. But the rest afterward you can still do yourself which will still save you a ton of money. Trust me you will make small mistakes but you will learn a lot more through the process and your confidence level will go through the roof. Even if you tear everything down and have a professional do the rest you will save money that way as well. So kick the fear to the curb, roll your sleeves up, and get to work. 😜
Note to self. Send my husband to a plumbing school. What was I drinking when I thought I could DIY this. You’re a Superhero
Thank you. You’re husband got it. The key is not afraid to try.
1:43 the mesh and cement is mfg. recommended, it stabilizes the seams, and will be great to have if your waterproofing fails over time, otherwise just using mesh tape is probably a waste since its not doing much good. If skipping thinsetting with the mesh tape, fiberglass tape/membrane with your waterproofing is a better route. Hardibacker says to use it. Not sure about Durock.
Just something to consider.
Hey thanks. good info right here. Always open to learning better ways for the future.
I did my bathroom about 20 years ago and didn't bother sealing the joints and screw holes on the cement board on the walls, as it didn't make sense to me and seemed overkill.. it was all going to be covered with tiles and glue anyways... There have never been any leaks or water issues ever. It's all still as solid and sealed as on day 1. Just my opinion..
Well look like you dont know tilling job water proof dont fail
The results are good, and everything is acceptable except for one thing. You forgot to install a shower pan liner. There are different kinds of products you can get from Oatey to Schluter
If the waterproofing around the drain fails, you'll have a big problem. A liner is installed to ensure it will hold water, designed to drain through weep holes. When you do the next project, you'll be better able to keep doing what you do. Not many people can tackle that
Thanks for your tip. This is a learning process altogether. I'm glad people are providing their feedback.
Great Job, I'm so happy I found your video as we start our Guest Bathroom remodel on Monday and I'm nervous but our Contractor says everything will be okay and he hopes to finish in 5-6 business days as long as we don't run into any issues when the walls come down. I'm curious how long did it take you to complete this project time wise from start to finish? We have very similar tastes as to your tile choices and Vanity . Your finished Bathroom is Fabulous. How happy you must be every time you walk in there. Thank you Susie R from Cocoa Beach FL.
Thank you. Well it’s nice to have a contractor do it for you since it will be super fast and you don’t have a bathroom torn down for a few months. It took me like 4-6 months. There was holidays in between and a vacation so made it longer.
The job looks so hard, but making it looks so easy.
Thanks
I’m glad I watched this video. I’m definitely not going to try to do this by myself.
Lol. Start small projects and build your way up to it. Eventually you will be able to do it yourself.
Could you send a link to the tile you used on the shower walls, or at least type and size? Looking for a very similar product for my future bathroom remodel. Thanks!
