DIY Bathroom Remodel - Hanging Drywall and Prepping Shower Surround Framing - Episode 15

[@cherylsims2053]

I’m impressed. You put that Sheetrock on the ceiling alone. I keep learning new tips from you.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Like I said, I do not recommend it haha. Thanks for following as always, Cheryl!!

[@kcanded]

I was going to recommend a sheet-rock lift (my husband and I used one in our remodel thank goodness) but I realized you don't have any room in the bathroom for that!

[@KadilakHomes]

Amazing!

[@frankj5947]

I can’t believe you glossed over moving that radiator!! I was looking forward to watching that part for weeks. Moving pipes, etc. Please show us and explain the steps for such a task. Rest of video series is great! Thanks!!

[@kcanded]

Me too!

[@diji_mon]

Why does every end of his videos seem like a cliffhanger to me minus the anxiety? I'm never ready for the video to end!!

[@KadilakHomes]

Never want them to end 🤣

[@BreakingWavesNews]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I have a 60 plus year old house and I had to do this with my bathroom. Something about seeing I'm not alone makes me feel good. Have watched several of your videos and subbed because I'm sure I will watch more. I love them

[@lesliecas2695]

Nothing cozier than a fully insulated bathroom in Massachusetts!

[@kcanded]

Certainly cozier than it was before!

[@cmschmidt]

This bathroom is going to be fantastic when it’s finished. Your hard work is going to pay off, if it hasn’t already. Whoever ends up with the house after you should know they have a quality house.

[@KadilakHomes]

Sturdy work!!

[@brendatenney8404]

Looking great. I do love that you are being OCD with leveling things and making them plumb.

[@robingillespie4467]

Yuppie, so glad to see you have started the finishing work!!!

[@ca6177]

You amaze me by how much you know as a young person! Wow!

[@marvasia83]

Bathroom is coming together looks amazing can't wait until it's done

[@thebeans804]

I don't know how to do any of this, but I love watching how things get done. Thanks for the videos. 😊

[@KadilakHomes]

Very entertaining!

[@rhondacowley9818]

Great video. We are redoing an older house and I can relate with things not being level, straight ,PLUMB ! scrap wood in the walls, crazy electrical, no vents in the bathrooms .Plumbing is like a maze! It is crazy how they used to build houses!

[@KadilakHomes]

Always find unwanted things in older homes 😖

[@jeanchisnall1462]

Well done. I have enjoyed watching the work. It also brings back memories.

[@chrisdavis1722]

Wow, huge difference! It looks so much cleaner with drywall. Kudos on making the shower walls plumb; it really makes a difference if your tiling it. Looking forward to the next episode. 👍

[@coreyinmanable]

Can’t wait for you to do the floor tiles

[@coreyinmanable]

Thank you Beverly R

[@KadilakHomes]

Same, tile is my favorite!

[@ID10TDriving]

If we lived closer together I would help you hang ceiling drywall and save your back. I can tell you that as stubborn as I am, I always ask for help when it comes to heavy overhead lifting. Learned the hard way. Love how this is coming together!

[@jodifinnegan4453]

WOW!!! Such a big difference! It's hard to picture the bathroom before you started the job.

[@KadilakHomes]

Love seeing the progress!

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Fascinating how methodical you are. Nice job.

[@Canadianbatgirl62]

Wow! This bathroom remodel is moving along blazingly fast!! Great job!👍👏😊

[@KadilakHomes]

I know super fast!!

[@Walterz930]

It’s coming on nicely also again congratulations on the new addition to the family

[@kaseythomas9646]

I can visualize it now! Can't wait to see the finishes!

[@KadilakHomes]

Love when you turn the corner and can finally visualize the space!

[@carolyncarlson3825]

Great progress ...its happiness fast. You make it look easy. Can't wait to see what happens next.

[@KadilakHomes]

I know, he makes it look so easy!

[@beckiblack859]

You're sure good at pointing at the exact right spot for other videos when all you really have to point at is thin air. Good job, man of many talents. ;)

[@jimwhite5964]

Great job, Fixer! Really enjoyed this one! Thanks.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks so much, Jim!

[@batterymakermarkii2654]

Shoulda named this episode, "Shim City...."

[@melindamosbey8257]

Lovelovelove w arching what you do!

[@5thdimension625]

Really great work! I wish you could come to Michigan and do my bathroom!

[@janicevon928]

I bet your arms felt like they were going to fall off putting the board up on the ceiling! Great job! It always gets more exciting when you can see so much progress and the end is even closer! I'm waiting to see what happens with the tub! And of course the final product!

[@KadilakHomes]

Love seeing the progress!

[@janvolek3040]

as always amazing work and lots of great tips! Thank you for taking us along!

[@cbart1987]

Bonus points for the fire caulking the the stink pipe vent

[@13daniel1974]

And then I see you corrected it...LOL. Amazing work. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@madshano]

excellently, simply explained....great work at the vids!

[@nathalie5064]

wow some amazing work again, even if there are always some surprises along the way. Amazing work. Looking forward to seeing the tiling process ^^

[@Bender2497]

Great job, this has been an enjoyable project to follow!

[@susanmcgee5877]

You make it look so easy! Doing a great job!!

[@KadilakHomes]

I know he makes it look so easy 🤣

[@tommycho9068]

Looks nice. Good job. Thank you.

[@kniik-knaak]

Man this is killing me! I hate when you talk about next time! I'm ready for the full time-lapse! LOL this is gonna look so dope when your done!

[@KadilakHomes]

So true! I am ready!

[@nellycastillo633]

Looking good love it

[@Blessed__2027]

Wow, man, God Bless you, great video!

[@georgiapeach7291]

Yay! So excited! It feels like I've only watched 30 seconds when the video is ending. The Mom in me kicked in when you wore a mask for dust, but no eye protection. All I could think about was you getting dust in in your eyes. Yikes. I didn't know once I had children I would Mom everyone, lol. Awesome video!

[@travelingdude33914]

Spray foam levels things out pretty well 🤣

[@Sean-Aviation]

what did you use for the drywall screws? looks pretty easy to screw them in to right depth

[@FixItWithMe]

How do u store the leftover dust control joint compound? It doesn’t ever dry out? How long can u store it for?

[@MichaelPNW1982]

I’ve yet to use one of those roto-zips. Slick tool for productivity! What’s your method of knowing where to plunge your bit? Pre-measure, markings, or something else?

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

An excellent video

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thank you!

[@ContrastY]

Amazing.

[@AutoFixYT]

This might be a stupid question but... Why does the drain need a vent? Does it create pressure in the pipes when water runs down or when you flush? I'm learning a lot through all these videos of ours, so thank you for helping me gather knowledge for when I own my own house in the future! Keep it up!

[@bunkkasponge]

I almost feel like I live in this bathroom lol ! hahahaha I came here first on the begining of the bathroom....hehehe just one degree off making a cirkular bathroom!

[@annwilliams9214]

Love that the drywall is a up and the scary stuff is taken care of. So, no level was used in the original making of that bathroom?

[@lesliecas2695]

The bathroom was part of an addition to the house and the addition settled with time.

[@nolongeramused8135]

Just because you didn't personally do it, you still got it done. I mean, you PAID for it.

[@edmay1166]

If you have the issue I do, craning your neck to get your head under the shower head, consider adding a piece of copper pipe to make the Shower head higher. Makes for a nicer shower experience. Good work,

[@kcanded]

Um. You seemed to drywall over the electrical wiring for the light above the sink (there was a yellow cable there?). Am I mistaken? I'm impressed by you putting a board in above the window to hold the drywall up while you screwed it in, great idea!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Good eye! Yes I did! I am going to cut in an "old work" box after the vanity is in, that way the light is perfectly centered over the vanity. 😁. Thanks for the comment!

[@yvonnep.2586]

I See you decided to put the heater underneath the window 👌

[@isabelxavier6890]

"It is what it is!" I already predict when you are going to say that :D :D :D

[@nataliem872]

Your poor arms doing the ceiling yourself! Seeing the new heat instead of the old dilapidated looking one is nice. I always look forward to your updates. Hope you and Mrs. Fixer are both doing well adjusting to the new parenthood life.

[@northernliving2387]

Question: What kind of dry wall are you using?

[@melindamosbey8257]

.....uh, WATCHING what you do!

[@MarciaCototita]

Oh my God, the beat reality show aahahahahahaaha, greetings from Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@ricardodavis4863]

**You accomplished a lot in one day** I'm assuming it was one day 👏👏😂😊 #Episode15 #BathroomRemodel

[@jarjar0653]

Yay! 😁

[@lesliecas2695]

Okay. I am guessing Mrs Fixer and Baby Fixer are staying at her parent's house until this is all done.

[@romadetroye5182]

Looking great!!!! Doing the ceiling by yourself isn’t easy. Would suggest not setting your drywall on the tub but placing it on the top lip so the drywall doesn’t soak up water.

[@ID10TDriving]

I think he’s using tile in the shower, so it’ll be cement backer board in there, not drywall.

[@ericschnelten1193]

My ignorance is going to show here. But what type of saw did you use when cutting out the hole for your vent?

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Hey, Eric! I call it a rotozip. It is basically a rotary tool that you can get drywall bits for. The tip of the bit has a smooth surface that rides along whatever you are cutting around and the rest of the bit cuts the drywall. Thanks for the comment!

[@ericschnelten1193]

Cool thank you. I don’t know if I’m going to replace my ceilings, but I’ve got paneling that has to come down and I’ll need to hang drywall eventually on some walls. This should work for the outlets and light switches.

[@crinkle2649]

I was laughing the whole time you were saying level and having plumb written. I would have corrected you if you hadn't lol. Don't you have a plumb bob? Great skills with the measurements. Are you keeping the same tub?

[@projectfanboy]

how long has it taken you to get this far in real time?

[@RebootedNickerson]

Nice.

[@beerye3750]

No acousti-Seal for the vapour barrier?

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Not on the inside walls. I have a vapor barrier on the exterior wall and ceiling.

[@tiffinyboulet8694]

Is the sheetrock actually blue/purple or is that just the lights?

[@wereno3769]

Moisture resistant sheetrock. It's purple.

[@aaronvickers8454]

Mineral wool?

[@mmortiz4]

Wow! Let’s just assume that when they added on, levels weren’t invented, just so that I can sleep comfortable. 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️

[@katiaantunes0206]

Hi! Hight now! ✋

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Hi, Katia!

[@edwardcomiskey6556]

Lot of episodes for one small bathroom. Sheesh.

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Trying to cram as much info in as possible so I can teach EVERYTHING I know. Hope you are enjoying. Thanks for the comment.

[@noobyxviii]

New video!!!!!!!

[@НаталиШульга-о3й]

Привет дружище 🖐️👍

[@Nicktreee]

Today's word of the day is "Plumb".

[@paulinehillson9059]

First of all, your stubborn!!!! Second, is that waterproof sheet rock? Great job, it’s coming along !!!!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

😁 Yes, Pauline! This is water and mold resistant drywall!

[@Mothermetalhead]

I really wanna change up my bathroom 😫

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Do it!!

[@Mothermetalhead]

@@TheFixerHomeRepair ima have to keep watching your videos to make sure I do it right 😂 I replaced the floor tiles a while ago but want to again

[@KadilakHomes]

You definitely should!

[@13daniel1974]

It was perfectly PLUMB, not level. Level is horizontal, plumb is vertical....

[@fikhhgg]

Helloo

[@aprilgreen2935]

First comment

[@Because_I_Have_To]

🤙🏾🤗

[@glimmermomma4373]

Wow, isn’t it amazing how they rigged up houses back in the day..

[@suhibraxxx1449]

It seems your good at your job. You know what to do and you are doing it by yourself. Instead of focusing on KZbin and the viewers here, why don’t you create your own company and still call it THE FIXER INC. And, train guys like you and hire them and expand your company in the U.S., or, focus on serving one city and become a legitimate company that many people need to hire to fix their own home. If you do pursue on creating your own construction company, then you will serve your community and become rich. For example, I would like to hire you to fix many things in my house. But, hiw can I even think of talking to you about fixing my property, if you are here, on KZbin, not having a company? You are a good honest hard working man. And, by watching you, you are really skilled to do a great job, and people need you. Become a company and contact me. I want to hire you to fix my property.

[@oliiii2]

Next time please make it at least 30 minutes

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

Shame you couldn't have turned the tub and had the shower on the window wall that would have really opened up the room.

[@mohammedkhairy3609]

I will be grateful if you checked your email & Instagram DM

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Will do!

[@kinggomda7739]

I don’t get it how long will it take you to remodel a bathroom? It has been more than a month on same shit!! Dude I love your Vlog but all these part 1,2,3,4 and 5 is boring!!

[@dnzxy]

it‘s obviously pre-recorded to keep up a regular uploading schedule...the man just became a father, chill!

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Thanks for the feedback, Baba. Trying to show it is not as easy as a 30 minute DIY show you see on tv. I want to show every detail that I go through during a remodel so people can learn to ACTUALLY do it themselves. If you don’t want to watch it, there are plenty of other videos out there. Again, thanks for the feedback.

[@hachmannfamilyemail4877]

Yeah it's obviously pre recorded cuz he just had a baby and he probably couldn't do this with a baby going around

[@TheFixerHomeRepair]

Yes, as I said in a community post that I posted, I pre-recorded so that I could spend some time with my family and still give all of you at least 1 video per week.

[@ID10TDriving]

Vast majority of his viewers will disagree with this. Some of us take these as learning experiences as we do our own DIY home repairs and apply his solutions to our own problems we encounter Luckily for you, he does a time lapse of the overall project when he’s done!
