Remodeling a Master Bathroom | Part 1 | I Like To Make Stuff

We partnered with Lowe's again, but this time we're remodeling our master bathroom! In part 1 of this 2-part series, we are planning, demolishing, and roughing in the plumbing and electrical.

The bathroom in our house, like the mudroom, hasn't been updated since it was built in 1983. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, to update it, you could just add some new fixtures and paint the walls. But this bathroom has a funky layout. There are two showers and when you walk into the room, you look straight at the toilet (and anyone who may be on it). So rather than just updating the cosmetics, I've decided to completely remodel the bathroom by changing and simplifying the layout as well as doing some much needed beautification.
This plan involves removing the dedicated stand-up shower at one end of the room and transferring the toilet to its more discrete location. The shower/tub combo that is also in the room will be replaced with a more modern, tile and glass shower. And in the awkwardly-large space that the toilet once occupied will house a soaking tub.
Moving these fixtures also means moving drains and supply lines from under the floor. I am quite fortunate that I have access to these lines from my basement shop. So I had to reroute and replace some of the drain lines to accommodate the new toilet position, switching around the shower, and adding the tub. While the room was gutted, I also wanted to add some new lighting and a new vent fan. It's going to be a lot of work, but we're going to tackle it one piece at a time.
Demolition can be the most daunting and/or the most fun part of any remodel. Most homeowners have a natural affinity to smashing holes in their walls, which is completely understandable. But in our case, there are very few elements in this room that need to stay. I poked around before the hammer fell and discovered that one wall scheduled for removal was housing some crucial vent lines and water supply lines that go to the second floor. I am very happy that I figured that out early so I didn't unintentionally ruin something else in the house.
After that, It was time to break things. We carefully removed the vanity and counter-top that will eventually be reinstalled, Ginny smashed some unnecessary walls, and Josh ripped out a bunch of drywall. Most shower/tub inserts have a lip that is covered up by drywall, so don't worry about being careful not to ruin the walls, it's easier to just replace the sheetrock where necessary later.
Once the inserts were removed and the toilet was taken out, I ripped up the linoleum floor and removed the ugly wallpaper. I patched any holes in the walls that were staying, but other than that, we had a clean slate.
I cut out the old toilet drain pipe (it wasn't disgusting), the old shower drain, and the old shower/tub drain and started from scratch. This was a lot of measuring, cutting, and gluing in fittings, but they all finally lined up with the holes in the floor.
Disclaimer* if you aren't totally confident in your electrical abilities, hire an electrician!
I ran new lines to two boxes above thew vanity for new sconce lighting and also went up into the attic and ran new boxes for three more ceiling lights. Two pendant lights would hag above the toilet and the tub, and I added a moisture-rated, recessed light above the shower. I also rigged up a new light switch and exhaust fan.
Again, we'd like to thank Lowe's for sponsoring this project and check out Part 2 of the Bathroom Remodel.

So glad you said that @1:52 !! I always hate when home make over shows do “demo day” and completely wreck perfectly fine kitchen cabinets or stuff like that!! Like damn, y’all could’ve given that to someone who needs it!

[@timtoggs]

Bob - A day after you posted this video, I had a pipe in my basement burst because of the cold weather. Since it was set back pretty far in the wall, the plumber recommended going with Pex tubing so he could snake it in. I was so happy that I actually knew what he was talking about because I watched this video. Thanks for always being so informative during these posts, they are super helpful to all aspiring woodworkers and homeowners!

[@ZacCjw]

2:49 Hi Bob! @iliketomakestuff Love your channel been watching for years now. Just wanted to give you a heads up from a family of professional Glaziers (glass/mirrors). Anytime you remove a countertop that had a mirror resting on it when originally glued in, always screw in a temporary support board under the mirror. Just incase, especially when the glue is 30 years old. I've seen many of mirrors that have fallen off the wall because of this. Just thinking of you and your family's safety and anyone watching. Thanks for your videos! - Zac

[@janebutz5375]

Enjoy your videos. Been a tool girl over 50 years and have been restoring old houses since the 70's. If I can offer a tip: rather than forcing nails back out the face of the trim, if you grab a pair of vise grips, you can pull them through to the back of the trim. You will get very little damage to the face and can re-use the trim. This is key in an old house where you want to save as much detail as possible. Of course, it works best with finishing nails, not nails with wide heads. Keep up the good work!

[@FigmentsMade]

That Tile Buddy is a great tip! I hadn't seen one of those before. And it's so smart to mark the PVC pipes when they're dry-fit so you know exactly how to line them up! And I'm pretty sure it's a requirement to drop at least one screw down an open grate during a home renovation project. Great video, Bob! I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@jeepxj]

A better method is to use a 4x3 flange and tile right up to the 4" coming through the floor. Then you can caulk around that joint and keep the tile water proof so any leaks wont rot the sub floor. then use a 4/3 flange and slip it in the inside.

Just a warning for anyone using pex, it can be chewed through by rodents fairly easily, so if you have problems with mice it's probably not the way to go for you. Also make your you brace it properly or it can move quite a bit.

I’m always fascinated how simple the houses in America are built. Last summer we renovated the bathroom of my grandma and wee needed to cut a new hole in the concrete floor. We were also restricted to the previous location or the tap because the walls are also made out of concrete. Moving electrical lines seems to be easier as well. If I recall correctly we needed to use a pipe somewhat similar to your water pipes to put the cables into, when we moved the electrical lines in an other room.

We have stop valves not only to the house but in other places to shut off there. Ie. I have a valve below my vanity unit so I can stop water there if I wanna change it in the future and under my sink unit in my kitchen.

[@JasonWin]

More than just that wrong with it. The two trap arms are tied together before the vent so even if they weren't S-Traps they still wouldn't be vented right. Then the vent going flat below the flood level rim is also against code here in Canada at least. As a Plumber if I walked into a house and saw those drains I would shake my head, Bob probably should've taken his own advice and talked to a professional. Even if it was just for advice on how to do it.

[@ThunderDog]

Bob, I respect you but my plumbing days are cringing at that waste line work. The Tee on it's back, the horizontal dry vent run below the flood rim, and the S-trap all make me shudder. You have a large audience and should consider suggesting to your viewers that they look into the IPC or IRC.

And why take wallpaper done on the walls they took out? Unless just to demonstrate how to take the wallpaper down.

One tip for removing wallpaper with that steamer (because I did the exact thing recently) is buy a scoring tool. It makes small holes in the wallpaper, allowing the steam to soak through. Wallpaper sucks to remove anyways but this steam and a scoring tool helps. Big time.

Just a thought, when you remove your baseboard molding that you will reuse, do not pound the nails through the finished face. I use a standard sized vise grip. Grab the nail on the backside, make sure your VG is about a 1/4" from touching the back. Start to bend the nail over using the rounded jaw of the VG as a guide and roll it right out. No damage on the front.

I have done a few dozen schulter bathrooms. the stuff is bullet proof. let me know if you have any questions. I would recommend using the schulter trowl for spreading the mortar. It makes smoothing everything out a breeze.

Damn... She really hates that wall!

@10:45 Didn't see this addressed in the video, but when you notch out a stud for your wire, its a good idea and code in some places to put a metal plate on top of the wire to prevent any drywall screws from hitting the wire. Kind of like the plaster guard for plumbing.

Is this where the magic happens?

Great video. Very fun to watch. I figured out for myself that if the job called for at least 4 or 5 Sharkbite fittings, it was cheaper to buy the crimping tool. I wasted too much money putting off buying the tool for way too long, so I had to say something! The Sharkbite fittings are perfect for transitioning from copper to pex though. I use them all the time for that. For pex joints, I've found crimping to be just about as simple and easy as the Sharkbites at 1/4 the price. Bathroom is looking awesome. Can't wait to see the final result.
