Building a Bathroom From Scratch: Timelapse

[@LRN2DIY]

Total cost for materials was in the neighborhood of $4,000 USD and the measurements of the bathroom are 9’5” x 4’11” (2.87m x 1.5m).

[@Art3615]

why is it 9'5" deep or long? Seems like it is 8 feet or less. Just curious.

[@Axon_Tech]

My dad can buy a car with that money in my country

Samuel Ruland I’m a bit late, but he shows where he got it in the description! :)

[@demetrakourri9019]

I would really suggest waterproofing behind the tub. Once the space starts collecting moisture, that insulation behind is the first thing to mold. You would also need padding under the laminate, concrete is never well leveled and allowed dust to pass through.

[@MattKottenstette]

A lot of modern laminate flooring comes with padding already attached to the bottom as is the case here.

[@TheTrigger619]

Yeah typically it’s prelim drywall thats waterproofed before installing a tub. Never seen a tub fastened to raw wood unless its a dead space wall

[@AdultingwithEsther]

Ahhhhhhh you made this look too easy. I totally just mentally committed to DIYing a new bathroom in our next place.

[@SKRUBL0RD]

Holy shit I've never seen a shower show the temp of the water. Super useful and I want it in my life and never want to be without it because I'm very specific about my shower temp!

[@CluelessEngineer]

very useful video. Im 19 and about to attempt this myself

[@letterbeseen9197]

great video to get a rough idea of what im in store for!

[@LRN2DIY]

Best of luck - it'll be worth it!

[@doatoolate.1250]

Great video. For me, the best time is when working with family.

[@makinMYway75]

I’m about to b a new home owner thank you for this video

[@PeterJames143]

Hey! I used the same bathtub enclosure from home depot :) You have to attach it together really well or it leaks. I used silicon at first and it leaked then I had to pull out the silicon cuz it didn't really adhere then I used adhesive with silicon on top of that. I used an acrylic tub because it was light and I was working by myself. But if I had it to do again I'd probably use a heavier one. I'm afraid to put too much pressure in the wrong place on it but it looks okay and so far so good it seems to work okay. Your bathroom looks like a Hilton bathroom, great job.

[@hunterbenitez9168]

Your lucky to have your beautiful wife help you. Thank her with all your heart bruh. Cuz there could be a time where she doesn’t want to help or be with you anymore. Appreciate her with your heart ❤️

[@flowersun4535]

How awesome would it have been if the door was a sliding door? It would be perfect for a small bathroom. Nicely done 👍

[@BaumgartenFilms]

Great job and inspiring to watch. So if you had to guess within about 6 hours high or low, how many total man hours between you and your family helping out did it take?

[@LRN2DIY]

If I had to guess, I'd say 50 hours or so. It went pretty quickly and that's just a guess but something in that range.

[@BaumgartenFilms]

@@LRN2DIY Thank you. And again, great job!

[@balloney2175]

U r an inspiration.

[@moisesshooter9]

Did you have to follow code for this and have inspectors come in to allow the process to continue?! I like the look of the finished product, it looks really nice and modern!

[@leeneil5203]

I’ve never seen someone work so quick... employee of the month for you big fella....

[@ibnamanot]

This is good because instead of adding a music you talk through what is going on in the video. Also, what type of bathtub is that? I have never seen this type of bathtub before that has panels.

[@LRN2DIY]

Thanks so much. I honestly don't recall what the exact tub and surround were but I just picked them up from the local home depot. You can usually find shower surrounds in both single piece and three piece configurations. The single piece surrounds are more naturally water tight but also a lot more difficult to maneuver.

[@TechFreak51]

AWEDOME Job... Well done !!

[@ngarci8040]

Basic question: is this the correct order … framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tub/shower, painting, flooring, toilet & vanity?

[@g3official133]

Da was beautiful work

[@mizzlizzz3245]

looks great. sorry if i missed it somewhere, but could you give a rough idea of cost?

[@mattdajedi]

This is awesome glad videos like this exist!

[@makinMYway75]

You’re good thanks for this we need an extra bathroom in our home

[@joec783]

Yes,that's what I meant.My husband always puts it behind shower and tub walls.thank you,did see you put it up on other walls,curious why not behind tub surround?

[@LRN2DIY]

Ah - gotcha. Yes, if you're doing a tile surround, for example, then you'd use the drywall. For vinyl or acrylic surrounds like this, they're designed to mount directly to the studs, then they have a flange where the drywall can sit atop them to connect to the rest of the wall. Just depends on the type of surround you're doing.

[@joycephillip5765]

Can I ask a rough estimate on cost for this project? It was great to watch! Very well done!!

[@LRN2DIY]

Total cost for materials was in the neighborhood of $4,000 USD and the measurements of the bathroom are 9’5” x 4’11” (2.87m x 1.5m).

[@ward26102]

Great video! How did you hook up the drains for the toilet and tub to the main drain line? Was there existing drain pipe in that area of the basement? Since it is in a basement, did you need to install an ejector pump?

[@LRN2DIY]

The house was pre-plumbed with a toilet drain (it's the one you can see in the beginning of the video) and when I cut into the floor, there was a buried drain for the tub as well. The house is only a few years old and was built with an eventually finished basement in mind, which is why those were there.

[@ward26102]

Is there an ejector pump?

[@LRN2DIY]

You only need an ejector pump if your main sewage drain is above the level that your bathroom drains are. Our homes were built with a very low drain line so we don't need an ejector pump here, but it's always best to check on that.

Off subject,but refers to one of your video's on 3D printing. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B does it plug into the Creality3D CR - 10S 3D Printer

[@anonymous7egend]

I wish I was as talented as you

[@amymeyer9524]

I’m curious what the tub surround manufacturer’s recommendation is for putting some sort of moisture barrier behind it. In Every bathroom build I’ve seen, they use waterproof Sheetrock (sealed with waterproof tape and mud) behind the shower/tub surround, but I don’t recall any of those being the pre-fab’d ones. Those do have seams though, so I would imagine you don’t want to leave it completely open behind due to the potential for moisture penetration over the years.

Beautiful job. On average what is the average cost of adding a bathroom like this size etc?

[@LRN2DIY]

hhova29 Cost was around $3k. Would have been a lot more if I had used tiles everywhere but this was a simple solution given the time and budget I had.

[@hhova29]

LRN2DIY really nice job. I’m going to have to hire a friend who does work like this. I’ll help him of course to help keep cost down $ I haven’t a clue of what I would do unless it’s putting up Sheetrock and vanities, lol. Love to add a small bathroom to my home but I know a contractor company will charge me a fortune.

George Lupercio Just the tub, cabinet, and sink cost more then $500.. The plywood is like $60 a piece and I’m guessing he used 5 or 6 pieces so that’s $300 on Just playwood... Depending on the toilet he bought it’s around $100-300. And You still need drywall, Plumbing, electrical... Well over $1000

[@mannylupercio8194]

@@azsa3705 Ouch, plywood must be made out of gold for that price - should cost no more than 30 depending on the material. Electrical isn't that expensive either again - if you do it yourself. I also didn't include the shower, toilet, and vanity because they can range from 50-1000 depending on what you want out of it.

[@LRN2DIY]

Hey Jeremy, this all depends on where you live. In the U.S., it typically does require a permit and an inspection. You’ll want to check with your city ordinances to get the details. Homeowners can do the work but it’s always good to have a plumber and inspector involved in the process. Best of luck!

[@MiltonMikedotca]

Love your videos, particularly this one as I'm taking on a similar project. Question: when you broke up the concrete for the tub drain, do you see any benefit to pouring concrete to fill the hole when you were finished with the plumbing? I'm thinking of filling in the hole I broke (only 6" square) with gravel, or pea gravel - leaving easier access down the road to the trap if needed. I'm using an acrylic shower base. Thanks!

[@LRN2DIY]

Great question - The two most common things I see are either refilling the whole thing with concrete again (on top of the pea gravel layer) or filling it in with pea gravel and/or broken concrete entirely. My thought was the same as yours - get it so it can help bare some weight, for what that's worth, and can be accessed later, but no need to completely concrete over it again. I can only share my experience and thoughts on it but others may have good reason for filling it back in with concrete. In any case, good luck!
