Small Bathroom Remodel - Time Lapse

I completely remodeled and updated my small bathroom from top to bottom and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. All pretty straight forward. All very doable. Take a look. If I can do it. You can do it.

[@briemills9209]

It came out great! And I appreciate the fact that you didn't include shopping trips, cooking. facts about your kids or fourteen tons of 'decor'. Simple and to the point.

[@misst.e.a.187]

Haha

[@LukeBurri]

😀

[@chrisalker1]

Great video, but you forgot to install a waterproofing membrane on that cement board. In the future, I recommend either RedGuard, Aqua Defense, or use DenShield panels that have an integrated membrane.

[@justayoutuber1906]

You don't need that. He should have put plastic on the back though.

[@dalesworld1308]

Looks great. I would do one extra thing - make an inspection door for the back of the tub valve. I'm leery of using push fittings in enclosed walls.

[@samsungnoteseries1983]

That old blue sink was really cool 😶‍🌫️

[@DavidGalan777]

Great video and looks superb! Unfortunately you will be having moisture and mold behind the bath walls in a few months. At least you can choose another design/color if you want.

[@sandrabentley8111]

Why?

[@nosirrahm]

The work is so neat for cutting holes around fixtures. I wish I had this level of DIY skill.

[@leeepperson2549]

Love the content, bud. Don't be afraid to expand on what you're doing. You're setting up and filming, slow down and explain each step; I get the sense that you'd be great at explaining to your audience, many of whom are just starting down this road, myself included. And hell, you may teach some lifelongers a new trick along the way. I'd like to see you put together playlists on projects in detail. Good stuff!

[@user-bo1rj2xu2s]

Yes!

[@EndlesRidge]

uhhh no, we are here to see a remodel ya dunce, not to learn how to remodel. Wow such an inconsiderate person

[@janetbailey5757]

Fantastic job, well done 😊

[@RemoteBuilder]

Fantastic Job. That bathroom looks amazing.

[@kellyb7321]

Looks great! I did a bathroom recently too and it took about 4 months. Looks like you got it done a lot faster than that.

[@gilberttorres8]

The video is sped up and editing. He probably didn’t include all the f ups he did.

[@sherricairns5954]

Looks great! Gave me lots of ideas.

[@debmoore629]

I had that same sink , tub and toilet until a few years ago! Original to my 1956 house.

[@GloriaWhite-wm7mt]

That was a beautiful job that you did,keep on with the good work

[@ShonteTodd]

That bathroom looks amazing 😮😀🙂

[@oscargaribay1479]

They sale cement board designated for walls my guy. Other than that don’t forget to strap your romex 12 inches from boxes and you did great brotha

[@FKS1994]

looks nice but you should have stapled the electrical wiring that way when someone pulls the wiring, it won't break the connection from the receptacle. I would've installed stud guards as well since you have all the walls removed. Would've spent more for rockwool than fiberglass. better soundproofing and if it gets wet, the R value isn't compromised. plumbing: sharkbites are fine but I wouldn't have put it behind the wall like that. at the very least, leave an access panel where those fittings are so you can quickly repair or check where the leak is if there ever was one. lastly, you didn't waterproof the cement board in the shower. cement board is porous so it can soak up water and eventually cause a leak somewhere if water gets behind your tiles/grout. You needed to redgard the concrete board so that water doesn't seep into the cement board.

[@reeseeulert5107]

Just some code things I noticed, you should staple your romex to a stud within 12 inches of every box and 4.5 feet there after. Lastly I know shark bites are approved behind the wall but I would never trust them behind the wall personally. Also I always use clips on my tiles so there's no lippage I noticed you didn't...if you were able to tile the shower with no lipage with just spacers then well done. Most importantly you didnt use and water proofing methods...I would never tile a shower for a paying customer and not use water proofing ..just my .02 from a bathroom contractor.

[@aprilm9551]

Thank you for this input. I only understood the final point, about the waterproofing, and even I saw that this was missing in the bath/shower area, and I'm no expert! Then I went and looked up Romex and Sharkbites, so now have some extra useful building tips to file away. : )

[@debisettles4745]

Great to know!! Newby renovator here, for my own home. Can you tell me what kind of nails he used to hang the backer board? Or cement board? Or are they the same thing? Thanx much!!😊

[@reeseeulert5107]

@@debisettles4745 if using cement backer they should have specific screws in the same area of the store you get the backer board at. Depending on waterproofing method you can red guard backer board, or what I prefer is using Sheetrock with kerdi membrane. If using Sheetrock just use recommended Sheetrock screws, I then install a few schluter screws and washers over the membrane for extra security. Just make sure you water proof them too.

[@xAntonioSantos]

also used regular drywall instead of greenboard

[@kyecomincioli330]

He said he waterproofed it

[@SheenaRea]

Wow!! Exceptional craftsmanship! I'm redoing my bathroom, and it'll be "okay," just the basics... nothing fancy. But this? Glorious to watch and what an upgrade! Kudos.

[@suzanbleakly3905]

Wow, that is quite the transformation! Really love the design element of the large subway tile! Your vanity turned out perfectly! Enjoy your new bathroom!

[@Nytea1982]

I followed because of this video!! 😊 GREAT JOB!! ☝🏾

[@RTDavis0503]

Looks awesome dude. Only thing I would have done was put a towel rack in the shower. Other than that is perfection

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I can agree with you on that. If I could do it again I’d probably put in a shower niche and have a place to hang a towel that’s not the curtain rod

[@chrisbellamy3458]

just started on a master bath remodel in my home and love what you did here. We had to remove our 50 year old cast-iron tub because I wanted to do a full standup shower (being a big guy the tub doesn't really work) but definitely inspired and loved the vanity cabinet. Nice job.

[@megamachine7818]

isnt there like a special type of drywall specifically for bathroom? looks like you used regular one and didnt use the special red sealant over it as well. also didnt see any vents in there which you should have added while everything was removed. wondering if moisture will be a problem in the future

[@adeebmomen4541]

Beautiful renovation

[@CookingwithAfton]

Great Work

[@TKr9491]

So amazing! This is a personal preference but I would've added 2 niches in the shower. There's no place to put shampoo, soap, etc

[@jm7804]

That looks so much better. You added a lot of value to your home.

[@taylorvanbuskirk8040]

You made it look SO easy!!!

[@Millasoaps]

I love this bathroom. Great choice of colors. I’ll have to watch some of your other videos. I’m in the process of giving my 1980s pink bathroom a facelift. Eventually I will have to remove tile and flooring and the tub.

[@yvelisseroquez]

Wow that’s a good job

[@littletez85]

great job!!!

[@lighthouse6748]

Truly NIGHT & DAY difference. Fantastic Job. 🌅

[@OldHouseRenovation]

Enjoyable video and has a lot of good ideas. I was also impressed with the video quality and lighting. I am in the middle of filming the renovation of two bathrooms in a 123 year old house. Your time-lapse footage was fun to watch.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@jennifermiller-jarvis1679]

Amazing transformation! 😍Good job!!

[@rachaelesque3]

Great work!! I’m inspired for a baby reno of my upstairs bathroom. Feel free to pop into Maryland and work your magic! 😅

[@edwardboyd4584]

A spectacular looking renovation - Very nice!! Must admit that I was getting worried when I saw the Toilet and Vanity go in and there was still no baseboard along the walls haha

[@justayoutuber1906]

I would love to see the long term scratch resistance on that tub. I would have replaced it with as much as you had torn out.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

So far it's held up really well. The coating feels very hard. I've accidently knocked some metal items against it and haven't had any scratching issues.

[@ladyofthecats6370]

Wow, u did a great video. Don't if I'd go with a vanity that makes everything smaller to get through. Bc that's what I'm trying to fix rn in my own bathroom. But overall, it's beautiful!

[@danimal999]

This is incredible, and uh, kinda mad at you for making it look so easy that for a moment I thought, “I could do this!” 😂

[@sheiladaly1507]

Love the look - that tub came out sooo good! Awesome job!

[@giuliobenitez2229]

Wow!!.....thank you ....great video...forever Rock & Roll.

[@brendastraley8829]

Great video. Next shower think about putting a shower head with a separate shower wand. The cost is 3 times the amount, but for resell or easier shower it is so worth the price.

[@bluej5455]

Wow, that looks so awesome. You did a fantastic job and it was a lot of work, but the end result is absolutely gorgeous.

[@blacklist45av3]

I don't see you using any waterproofing materials for your build?.

[@charleneblake1146]

Beautiful transformation 🎉

[@marrymcnamara8709]

Nice looking bathroom! 👍🏼

[@NELSONG12]

Amazing work!

[@debrawucik826]

Nice look!

[@hyesunstuart1320]

What a skill you have! Sooooooooo impressive!

[@liza3337]

I also have a blue rub ( that someone painted white). It's all blue now and I'm keeping it that way.!

[@BearMountainBuilds]

All the power to you, I’ve seen people with great bathrooms and blue tubs!

[@rodriguezme1725]

My rental has a green tub and chipping white paint on the outside and in my sink, with it being a rental I want to clean the chipped paint up and do something cheaper yet efficient until we buy any suggestions!? And yes I have permission!

[@natalyaellis9687]

You are amazing, I wish I have you To fix my little apartment, I learned a lot from you. Thank you so much. Good luck you is everything.❤

[@itsoneAM]

Hello, great video! If you can share one on how to replace an under-sink with a table top/over sink, thank you!

[@lauriemensah1637]

Damn you make it look so easy, I feel like even I can do it lol

[@RaymondHummel]

Outstanding job…you made this look so easy!

[@juverparadox]

Amazing transformation! Very informative and comprehensive.

[@psycheinc-theSLC]

Absolutely brilliant ! Psyche aka Psyche Thompson UK 🌹

[@Thenelsoncarmona]

Good job, just need to water proof the shower and floor edges. I’d suggest home repair tutor, they put out a lot of great content

[@traceewales8422]

How funny I found your videos. We have the same awful blue tub, toilet, and sink. It’s time to be white! We have the toilet, and will soon find a vanity. I’m trying to convince my son-in-law to paint the tub. 😂 What a great tutorial for both things. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@maribel7360]

Looks great!

[@trunggiang5610]

I really enjoyed your video.very good workmanship. Great choice of colours. Only one thing I would rather replace a new update bathtub as the same time. It would turn out perfectly 😊😊

[@gingerdad127]

Did you waterproof the floor and around any taps?

[@rs9510]

loving your content keep up the awsome job !

[@klairepatterson8873]

now that its a year later, how is the tub holding up? I just had mine reglazed and am wondering if I should have just painted . Thanks and congrats on tackling such a project yourself!

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Still going strong! I have an update video that I posted a couple months ago

[@laminadeoro326]

Wow. Amazing work. Thanks for sharing.

Can you teach me? I am having a hell of a time trying to find good workers trying to fix my properties and they end up messing up my houses and I have to keep starting over again and paying money for more materials

[@tamaramartin4015]

Beautiful work. Well done.

[@sohayel_nafi]

Can you make an Entertainment center with minimal tools? Love your channel ❤️

[@TheDeal4412]

No red guard or waterproofing? 😥

[@אביבהממוק-צ2ס]

Very nice and good job you have done❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nidaldajani728]

Fantastic projects and performance. Your uplifting attitude draws viewers' attention. Keep up the good work. About the washroom renovation (pardon my ignorance), I wonder why didn't you use any sort of a vapor barrier underneath the floor tiles (plastic sheath, or bitumen roll). It seems to me it would save your floor for much, much longer.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

The tiles are water tight once put together so a waterproof layer isn’t required

[@cyberguypr]

@@BearMountainBuilds 100% FALSE!!! NO SUCH THING AS WATER TIGHT TILE! Come on man, this is the kind of stuff that others will see, replicate, and cry when the shower fails 6 months after. You are doing a disservice to those who will come after you. To those watching, look up "shower fail" videos so you understand why what he did here is wrong.

[@lindaholder2222]

Very nice 👌

[@Dream-bebe]

Beautiful work!! 👏 😊

[@themeat5053]

Finally, I saw a good use for Kreg pocket holes. Did you ?

[@last-life]

Few questions as I know nothing about DIY. Behind your tub you have that concrete board stuff - I assume that stuff is waterproof? How do you waterproof between the gaps where the boards meet? Also something that I get hung up with DIY is how high do I know to set something? Like for a wall socket height? Or a shower head height. Is there a list of where people usually mount them? Lol. Or maybe its just something that is gained through experience.

[@questionmark9819]

Looks nice and fresh, one thing that I don't get about bathroom renovations and not just you but anyone who does this is why is there only an over head shower and no hose? I don't get it.

[@aiva8001]

very nice bathroom, great job!

[@lisam4494]

Great makeover. What a dramatic difference. Guessing you didn’t add a ceiling fan because of the window. Would you recommend installing one anyway? Also could you have made the linen closet larger (longer). Could not tell what was below the existing shelves.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

The linen closet stayed the same which is why I never really brought it up in the video. Fans in bathrooms are always better than no fans. I didn’t add on mainly because I didn’t remove the ceiling drywall and didn’t want to run the ducting and cut a hole in the house so I just stuck with the window

[@dmcknight221]

Love It! Beautiful Work!

[@arth.4196]

Genius Craftsman use what's available at home to do the job. 😁. What do you need you saved in Dollars 💸 doing your own work. Great U-Tube Channel.

[@cynthiataylor6376]

[@dawnpiro3318]

Beautiful! Great job!!

[@ShovelShovel]

can't water get below or between the vinyl floor planks? it trap water and become smelly.

[@dovesolutions]

Stunning.

[@DeeperSouth]

Why get rid of the beautiful tile floor and replace it with peel-n-stick tile????

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I used luxury vinyl floor tile

[@808mateo]

Vapor barrier behind the cement board? Did you close up the joints between the cement board and the screws?

[@VintageLPs]

That new bathroom looks fantastic. I have three bathrooms and all have heavy vinyl wallpaper glued to the wall board. I tried removing just one corner in the smallest bathroom and the vinyl backing sticks to the wallboard in many areas. I just pasted it back on. After watching you rip wall paper off your walls, you said it was painted……didn’t know that one could paint over it. ?? Need to Google it!

[@sky-sd3km]

Wow! fantastic! good job!

[@HHScotty]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing! Scott Louisville KY

[@taylorvanbuskirk8040]

I'm surprised you didn't put a niche in the shower/tub area. I want a place to put my hair products and soap.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Fair point. I may add one at some point

[@unapologeticchristian1052]

Very nice job overall. One small thing I would have done different, everything is new in the bathroom but you kept the old tub and repainted. You are very talented and I am sure you could have figured out how to install a new tub. This way you would have had everything new in the bathroom and not have the tub peel in 10-15 years. I guess you can paint again if there are future issues. Again though, great overall work and appreciate the video.
