How to Upgrade a Bathroom: Quick Makeover | I Like To Make Stuff

[@sloppyjoe1315]

Awesome video a little pointer I would tell you I use to do drywall professionally next time doing a textured ceiling like that mix a small batch of compound with water to the right consistency roll it on with a 3/4 inch nap paint roller and you can get it done in one coat

Turned out great! Amazing how a few changes just transforms the space.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

Absolutely! That tile was super easy and really changed the room a lot.

For the light sconces, you could use some philips hue bulbs, and then add a philips hue light switch to the wall to turn them on/off or dim, etc

[@Iliketomakestuff]

That's very true.

That QuicTile is sweet! We only have 1 bathroom, and don't want to be without it for several days, so I've been putting this project off since the thinset/grout process would take multiple days, but this cuts that in half. Going to have to check it out.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

[@gSuuP]

I would be concern about the grout... With the underlayment, the tiles will move more than classic tiles using mortar. Even with a "flexible grout", I'm afraid that you will have cracks in a really near futur

[@drippingwax]

​@@gSuuP Bob will report back either way! I have been wanting to remodel Mom's bathrooms, kitchen... lots of areas, so I was excited to see this, but most of it didn't seem relevant. We don't have wallpaper. Mom never said anything before, but apparently she hates the lights in the front bathroom. However, she hated the ones that you chose. I felt excited to show her the tile, but she hated it--she is old and is worried about slipping. I can totally see myself doing extensive research, coming up with a plan that I think is perfect, presenting it to her, and she would say "I hate it," so I would have her pick out everything she wants, follow her instructions exactly, only to proudly show her my work, and have her say "I hate it." Being her son is challenging! :D

[@jw1731]

@@gSuuP I have the same concerns. For some reason - maybe because it's new - there doesn't seem to be a lot reports on this product. Even the demonstration videos they offer are really few and in low resolution. It's hard to gauge the final product's appearance and how long lasting it is.

I love watching these videos as they definitely help inspire future projects. My master bath has carpet in them, and I feel it's going to be quite a challenge to replace it with tile, but I certainly am thinking of using that single day stuff once I figure out what I'm doing with the broken spa tub 😅

[@murphymmc]

Nice Bob, let us know about that tile as far as long term cracking. With what looks to be a cushy type of underlayment and the potential for flex in those tile panels, it'll be a good future update. A tip on the wallpaper removal: If it's a paper rather than a vinyl faced wallpaper, forget the steam, just wet it down with a sponge, not dampen, but wet it, go have a cup of coffee for about 20 minutes or so and it'll almost fall off. Vinyl? No fun. Grass cloth paper, works, just need repeated wetting. Did one for a client, he worked for two hours with the release agent and hole pokey thing they recommended, got about three square ft. done in two hours. I used a pump sprayer and kept it misted and pretty damp for about thirty minutes, then had the whole 16' x 9' wall covering removed in another thirty minutes. Not so good on vinyl as I said.

[@fmgough]

That tile looks so easy to work with. Another great and informative video. Thanks Bob.

For the sconces you might consider a tplink kasa light switch and some smart bulbs. Group the lights in the sconces to turn on/off when you turn on the overhead lights. I'm sure other platforms will offer similar functionality.

I like the newer lay down vinyl. It’s thick looks like tile if you want or hardwood. It just recommends two sided tape around the edges but it’s not necessary. If over wood underfloor you can pull it up dry out if you have a leak or not I’ve had it In my bathroom 8 years still looks new

[@thejdi]

Worst part is every time i see this kind of stuff I realise my European house isn't made with drywall but has mostly bricks as walls... It just doesn't cut as fast.....

[@shoyrushoyru]

remember the structure of the walls are made out of wooden beams mostly, the walls you see are just coverings

[@retro34]

@@shoyrushoyru doesn't really matter much because you can still manipulate the wood as well just as easily. Can't do that with 30cm of solid brick. Where I live you literally have to get an evaluation and approval from the local council if you want to knock down a wall in your own house.

If the old wall paper wasn't old and outdated, I would have left it there.

[@darrensmith7304]

Flip the tiles over when using as a guide to trim frames etc. Saves any marking by the multi tool

Wallpapers made for wet areas usually have a plastic coating where all the colors are and it's easy to peel off as it spearates, and the paper part of it is left on the wall.

[@Tboiy555]

Bob, great project, but you need to amp up the sconces with some smarts. You can use a Shelly 1 (even in detached mode) to pick up the main room switch state change, then a couple of smart bulbs in the sconces to come on when the switch state changes. I think all of this can be done with the shelly app, no additional home assistant or other stuff needed. Shelly is just ONE option though, there probably are several others.

[@Iliketomakestuff]

I'll look into those, thanks.
