MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

[@aaronalquiza9680]

15:19 i think more important than a USB port in an outlet in the bathroom is a GFCI outlet for safety around water.

[@ModernBuilds]

Yep!! It’s in the mail, god tip!

[@noobyxviii]

@@ModernBuilds a gfci breaker also works depending on code

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

​@@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.

[@sokola311]

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.

[@JamMastaJew]

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

[@ModernBuilds]

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!!!

[@leftonhome]

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.

[@joylesstiger]

I suggest synthetic baseboard trim. Water on the floor is inevitable.

[@theinfinitymachine9610]

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]

We have tub paint in our kids bathroom and 7 years later it's held up well.

[@NadeemSheikh0715]

For future reference, in a bathroom the drywall you would want to install is greenboard (moisture resistant), or purpleboard (moisture and mold resistant).

[@ModernBuilds]

I thought that was just for showers and stiff

[@iwanguerin4540]

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

[@Pipper423]

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.

[@ModernBuilds]

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 😁

[@kellilangvo]

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……

[@cnut4563a]

This.

[@stephentapp]

💯 #TeamSmooth

[@skillstacking]

Thought I was the only one with these thoughts.

[@grassrj]

Depends where you live.

[@angelpolicarpo8342]

I like the bathroom a lot

[@valerieking5265]

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.

[@katanyajason3316]

I agree, however you can get them with both shower head and hose.

[@Pwn3dbyth3n00b]

Texturing the wall is a mistake

[@tinkerer4]

Not using moisture and mold resistant drywall in a bathroom is decidedly NOT superpro.

[@lechatbotte.]

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.

[@falconofthesun]

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.

[@leslieollerhead1114]

The instructions even mentiom a good cleaning and sanding before painting tub and surround, as well as sanding between coats.

[@user-ec1fh8dr9l]

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.

[@PotatosPotatoes]

GFCI!!!!!! That outlet you installed is less than 3 feet from the faucet. Therefore, it MUST be GFCI protected!!

[@ModernBuilds]

On the to- do list 👍🏼👍🏼

[@theinfinitymachine9610]

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.

[@PotatosPotatoes]

@@ModernBuilds Awesome! I just see inspectors fail those every time.

[@susanlovesjava4961]

That cabinet will be a pain to dust and keep clean and the space is way too small for two sinks.

[@weekendhomeprojects]

No exhaust fan in that bathroom? We need an exhaust fan install video.

[@superdadAlls]

Plus textured walls. That sounds like mildew or mold to me.

[@katecart8790]

An exhaust fan isn’t required if there is a window (that opens) in the bathroom.

[@superdadAlls]

@@katecart8790 yes, but most ppl dont open the window while taking a shower. Especially in the winter.

[@saulgoodman2018]

@@katecart8790 So when it's 20 degrees out. Do you walk outside naked?

[@ineedhoez]

Lololol...

[@justinmilla]

Harney is the go to for door knobs and accessories. High quality and best price. I did two houses with everything Harney.

[@ModernBuilds]

I’ll check them out!! 🔥🔥

[@GingerGirl315]

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.

[@spikefivefivefive]

Why not insulate for sound-proofing while the walls are open?

[@haaalbo]

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.

[@AlexM-vt5pu]

This clown 😂

[@kakashisthegoat8179]

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

[@iamallaboutfood7242]

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

[@kmmx3]

Looks great! Personally, I would’ve done only one sink so there’s more counter space!

[@celinaquiros9381]

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.

[@GiftPrincessBuhman]

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!!!!!!

[@InflatableAnchor]

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?

[@MariMari-vq8hl]

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! 👏🏼

[@andrewschafer8986]

Way better then a lot of rental remodels I’ve seen.

[@ModernBuilds]

Thanks Andrew!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@designlady1732]

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!

[@DiRidpath]

Man, I love that mirror! I love everything except the shelves over the toilet. Everything looks high-end except those chintzy shelves.

[@tyc00n10]

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?

[@bignamek]

You did an amazing job on this. Night and day difference. Not just looks great, but is more functional and feels larger with all extra light.

[@kellilandry2825]

Great job Mike! It’s so clean and bright! ❤

[@gjr614]

A window in the shower area is never a good idea. Have seen to much water damage to windows.Maybe a narrow window at the top is better? Just a suggestion. Also double sink is nice but no counter space for enevitable stuff.

[@Zerrudo_]

neato, nighttime content before bed!

[@jodirauth8847]

The bathroom redo is stunning

[@yobespierre]

a nice modern door handle is called "pismo". they're knobs, not levers, but they look really nice.

[@cghoward70]

Your buddy Andy should’ve told you that you have to use GFCI electric outlets near kitchen and bath sinks and tubs.

[@XCF33t]

...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?

[@Xistentialite]

I came here to ask the same thing! It looks a third of the size of the doors in my house!

[@tracydreelin1119]

I love the time lapts...& voice over...your blogs r FAB..Quick & on point!!!! you give me confidence much thx Australia

[@kimvanek2322]

Nice job and such a positive attitude!!!! Sending all good vibes from Ohio!!!🎉😊

[@chefgoldielocs]

Great job. This series is bananas!!!

[@kathyedwards8387]

I just love the transformation, you did a great job!!

[@glennaa11]

The mirror is really great. I don't understand the double sinks in such a small space. I think having more counter space would be more beneficial.

[@skebeman]

absolutely beautiful! great work!!!!!

[@alischulze8742]

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.

[@way.of.health916]

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 👍👍✅️

[@withlovecal]

This looks great!

[@diamondperidot]

Think the remodeled bathroom is great. You are doing a Super Pro Job.

[@ValentinaVaccotti]

Wow, it looks amazing!

[@mwyn5085]

Great job! Loved your changes, u added real value to the home! 👍🏻👏🏻😃

[@trinidiva1000]

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 ❤

[@ModernBuilds]

Let’s goo!! That’s awesome, glad you dig it!

[@rosecityremodel2015]

Very nice update!

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.

That’s a good idea!!

Looks great, I would have used a Decora light switch to match the outlet.

Amazing!

[@josephhall2858]

Nice job!

[@spiralstares]

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.

THIS CAME OUT INSANE!

[@ModernBuilds]

🔥🔥🔥

[@OmegaMegalodon]

wow! you are awesome!

[@heatherdavidson8801]

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.

Thanks Greg!

[@mugetsusenpai432]

Why didn’t you tape drywall when applying compound? And just added the compound? Unless you did off camera?

[@Nihilistictendencies1]

The vanity is cute, but cleaning will be a nightmare. Everything from hair products, dust, etc will get in those grooves.

[@MegaKane84]

Savage job, boss 👍

[@texastwitcher3392]

That looks amazing.

[@ModernBuilds]

I appreciate it!!

[@texastwitcher3392]

@ModernBuilds I have watched your videos for a long time and you do really good work and you have gotten better and better from the first video of yours that I watched. Thank you for sharing some tips that make lots of sense that I would never have thought about

[@mishafrolovdesign]

Nice work, but you most likely want a GFCI plug anywhere near water. Unless your local regs are different?
