$6,500 Bathroom Remodel Step By Step | PART 2 | How To Do It Yourself | THE HANDYMAN |

[@themonkeydrunken]

You gotta appreciate the insane extra work to set up and film this while you're doing it

[@Karateka1]

I agree. 👍

[@wjm9987]

do not worry about it- this guy does nothing for free--and why should he....

[@joepacheco7979]

I'm into my early 60's and do what you do. Lifting toilets was doable (no pun intended), but why struggle with the weight and mess? So I invested in a pneumatic toilet lifer with wheels (under $300). While it's up, you can clean wax remnants, old caulking, and move it anywhere in or out of the room with ease. All while saving your spine. It is a God send. Highly recommended. Putting it back over the bolts is mucho easy to: you just slowly lower it down as needed. I love the "Better Than Wax" as well. The next guy changing out the toilet will tank me. Get it?

[@shannonp4037]

I really like the board for leveling/flattening the tile.

[@Discovery123.]

Thank you for your videos. Your videos helped me remodel my whole house by myself. And I am thinking about starting a handyman company now. Thank you!

[@geraldstropp1573]

Tile floor makes me want to play Q-Bert. But I like the plywood board for leaving.

[@stockyirish]

I wasn't sure about that tile at first but I really like the look now that it's installed.

[@mvoutour]

We are remodeling after a hurricane flood last November and had the same problem with the water lines and new vanity last week. We had the plumber move the water lines over about 6 inches so we didn't have to cute apart the new vanity. Took an extra day for the plumber and scheduling but it turned out well.

[@65895555]

Who the hell cares if you have to cut out the back of a vanity. It’s not fine furniture, mostly mud of chipboard.

[@bdunc9353]

Love your videos. I have been remodeling my first house built in 1929 and have learned alot from youtube, your channel included. I also am looking to start a Handyman business someday. Hopefully part time for a few years and then eventually full time and I will quit the day job. I actually am adding a bathroom as we speak. Cheers 🍻

[@jbell2370]

I remember you scraping, refinishing and painting the ceiling in this house. The beginning of the “level 5 finish” saga 😂

[@jeffchandler5520]

I started using the OVE type cabinets a lot , an sometimes they have the options of having the top just sit on the cabinet. I say this because I empathize with schlepping up the cabinet to the bathroom.

[@NickJanson94]

I have a question. Why no waterproof barrier? I'm thinking of doing our bathroom, very similar to yours but im new to diy

[@greyfi]

Very informative video. I'm a retired Marine living in a 60 year old home that has a 5x7' bathroom exactly like the one you renovated. The only difference is Want to replace the tub as well. Bathroom contractors in my area (Western PA) quoted 5 times the cost of your reno despite the fact I said no bells and whistles, just functional. Never considered hiring a handyman before but am certainly considering it now as it may be more cost effective for me. How does one go about finding a competent, reliable and affordable handyman in the Allegheny County area of PA? Thanks and Semper Fi Ken

[@BamaBreeze]

Another great show Handy. I had to drop from the live stream around 11:30 CT Sunday night. It was a good one! HandyOn.

[@TheHandyman1]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@reeseeulert5107]

I just did a bathroom floor with the exact same tile. turned out good!

[@shaunbiezel]

whered you find this tile?

[@arah924]

wheres the tile from

[@bam18333333]

Looks good, if you drylay the whole floor you could tile it all in on day.

[@shadesofblackbrownllc4874]

What kind of underlay wood did you use under the tile? Is that Cement Board, or particle board, or what?

[@Adam-wu2xr]

Did the tile have built in spacers? Or you eyeball it?

[@lyrebirdfurniture522]

My only question is how long it took to find that white plastic piece to keep the bowl screw in place, on that white floor. Guessing at least 5 minutes. :)

[@JimTexas806]

Help me learn about tiling under the cabinet. I've done a few remodels as a homeowner and never experienced that. Is that the preferred method? I placed the cabinet and tiled up to it.

[@BCTCanadian]

Just curious why you put the toilet on before painting or baseboard?

[@QuinTheDad]

Hi love your videos…What is the white thing you put under the tile transition at the door?

[@usercid640]

home depot better be paying my man for those buckets on the girthiest home improvement channel in the world

[@dizastro5437]

Adding a light on the second airdrop for the toilet was cool. I thought of that on the first go-round.

[@mib20000]

I'm loving the Q*bert floor tile

[@PintoBeener]

Great content but why not also replace the Tub? How much more would it have cost to do a full renovation including replacing the tub?

[@CharlietheHandyman]

Check out the raisins on this guy! Always High-quality work. $6,500 well spent.

[@CharlietheHandyman]

Probably could use some TRT to get that vanity up the stairs!

[@buffdrummer12273]

I’m wondering if I can tile over a linoleum floor that I ripped off but the cardboard part is still on the on the wood but it’s nice and flat and perfectly square can I just put tile over it?

[@SaiyantNick]

I love the view on the way up the stairs

[@digiprez77]

I just had to install a vanity with a bottom drawer across the whole width... It was interesting. I had to get creative with the drain but it is within code and works fine.

[@Scott_6666]

Sunday's live stream was hilarious!

[@orlandosanchez577]

How did the cutting with the cabinet go? Can we see the finish product?

[@jbravo1070]

What brand of pants are you wearing? Im always looking out for good ones to work in.

[@williamboyd776]

You Sir, are a one man army. Lookin forward to seein how the pee trap comes out under the vanity

[@elmerkilred159]

You make sound effects just like me when I lift heavy stuff! How do you know when it is time to get a new toilet? (Is it a mechanical thing, or a cosmetic thing?)

[@TheHandyman1]

The parts inside the tank wear out and you can easily replace the parts for under $30. Toilet tanks and bowls don't wear out. The only reason to change one is if you don't like the way it looks.

[@pintaco4299]

Tile looks great from that angle. Wasn't sure about the design.

[@charleshanson9467]

I was curious why you started tiling at the door side side of the room, and had to split the tiling between 2 days (turned into 4 days) instead of finishing at the door.

[@jimmaul]

He explained that in the first video. Because the most important line to get straight with the tile is right at the door and along the wall to the tub.

[@elnino6416]

@@jimmaulhe could have done the lay out and start from the back wall.

[@stabski33]

Nice to see the Rolly again! Great video!

[@nedashton9614]

That is some cool looking floor tile 🤓

[@disableddeerhunter180]

Question: what type of nail hole filler do I use on natural pine water based polyurethane trim?

[@VincesDIYs]

What do you cut off / shorten the toilet bolts with? Grinder / cutoff wheel?

[@PoTtZy.]

break off with pliers

[@Trey-yo6nq]

No tape needed on the floor gaps?

What is under the tile on floor some board 😅

[@valeriehayes422]

Love the tile, where can I buy? Name, make?

[@majo-ty3qq]

Buy some decent trowels. One with an open rubber grip. They also have a larger diameter handle that is so much more comfortable to use. Those small plastic handles are pretty much disposable. A silicone grout float. So much better than the rubber ones. You deserve nice tools.

[@elliotfrank119]

how did you stick the toilet hardware into the floor?

[@josephgraham1065]

Just wondering doesnt the spacer need to be screwed into the sub floor like the flange?

[@TheHandyman1]

It rests on top of the flange.

[@65895555]

Last time I went to Home creepy they were still selling copper elbows. That cut-out on the vanity was so close plus you were gonna instal new. 1/4 turn shut offs anyway. Just a few ounces of solder not the compression fit crap.

[@arah924]

no need for tile spacers?

[@imbitterthanyou1618]

That Schluter transition, isn’t that for walls? I was under the impression that you have to get a Schluter T mold for that.

[@nicksinclair2407]

What kind of underlayment is that under the tile?

[@stockbulll]

Cement backerboard.

[@nicksinclair2407]

@@stockbulll unless i didnt see but was no mortar required under the cement board?

[@stockbulll]

@nicksinclair2407 he didn't use mortar. If the subfloor is solid you. An get away without mortaring the backerboard. He went over the top of the existing vinyl, plywood and subfloor. So that floor should be pretty solid after it's all screwed down. In situations like that I have used construction adhesive under the backerboard for some extra grab but it's not always necessary. I would bet his goal was to keep the carpet and tile levels even as well as save time which is probably why he didn't pull the old flooring. If the vinyl was in bad shape and the floor was flexing when he walked on it, I'm sure he would have pulled the floor and redone it before installing the cement board.

[@NotempoT]

For a guy with a bad back, oof! Those vanities with the top already installed are heavy.

[@wintercook2]

Take the top off or get help. Life shouldn't always be hard.

[@chuckmeister6518]

HI Handyman. What material did you use for the sub floor underneath the tiles? Thanks!

[@TheHandyman1]

Hardiebacker Cement board.

[@chuckmeister6518]

@@TheHandyman1 thanks!

[@raymondevans6838]

Question, you might have already answered it. Would moving the drain and water lines be an option instead of cutting the vanity?

[@jimmaul]

Certainly an option, but a lot more work.

[@radwlodarczyk7010]

Good that you used gasket not the wax ring.

[@larracis]

cant even begin to tell you how many people I've met that know much more about the construction industry than I but don't know what those little plastic clips are for that come with the wax ring bolts.

[@Losi5t20]

Did the customer show you the new vanity. I would of moved the plumbing to keep the vanity getting chopped....

[@TheHandyman1]

The customer told me to cut it.

[@Losi5t20]

6500.00 I can't believe that . New floor, vanity, what else is being done. Just curious. Not pick one you. Just try to figure out where is 6500.00 is going. I'm fan of your work and channel. Great filming

[@cfl581]

Great video as always!

[@Wooster77]

Don't those break off point on the bolts make them weaker?

[@TheHandyman1]

NO

[@wintercook2]

Not a lot of strength required.

[@ILOVEBACONBOY2018]

Awesome content/work, thanks man!

[@mdenisen]

Am I missing something? I clicked because I thought $6,500 bath remodel was on the low side b/c I assumed it was a full bath remodel which would include redoing the tub/shower combo. If you got $6,500 for what I saw in the video, God bless you. Again maybe I missed something since this is part 2. Tile looks great!!!

[@SOLDGREEN]

This guy is on all the drugs that’s more like 65 bucks

[@mikecallari1288]

I really enjoy your videos but I must point out a few things about this one. I did not see you clean the bottom of the toilet bowl where the old wax ring was in contact with it. Even though in the first video it looked like the wax left on the flange was complete, I always make sure to at least wipe the contact area to insure a smooth surface for the new wax ring to seal against. It also looked like you did not remove all of the old silicone from the bottom edge of the toilet bowl. I try to remove 99.9% of the old silicone because even "mold resistant" silicone will start to grow mold after several years so leaving the old silicone in place and refilling with new could accelerate the growth of mold on the new silicone. It also makes it harder to make a smooth bead of new silicone. You also did not seem to shim the toilet. Even though you seemed to level the tile very nicely, it is unlikely the bottom of the toilet bowl was perfectly flat when it left the manuf. In 20 years I have only set a handful of toilets that did not need any shimming.

[@stevens7046]

Does $6500 also include all materials? Do you have a breakdown price video?

[@TheHandyman1]

I do have a video about this project on my business channel.

[@SOLDGREEN]

@@TheHandyman1 What are you drinking 6500 you’d be lucky if it was 650

[@The911technician]

$6,500 for a new tile floor, paint, and new vanity that’s insane

[@gregmooney4090]

You don't get out much

[@roberthughes2665]

Does the 6500 include materials or just labor. The biggest issue is having to return multiple times with the tile portion drying

[@naui2]

Are you jelly?

[@TheHandyman1]

Materials were just under $3,000.

[@michaelreszke3804]

I do complete shower tiled walls, new base, shower doors and painting for $4700. In Illinois suburbs. A job like the one your showing would run about 4K. If I charged more, I’d be out of work. As it is, many say I’m expensive.

[@moisessantiago6074]

Between the spacer and the original floor flange you should of applied wax I think

[@josephrobinson7933]

Fluidmaster waxless toilet flange is a great product, no need to ever use wax again (that's old school). Being using this product in my bathroom remodels for 2 years now, tight seal and never leaks.

[@TheSpatulaCity]

Don't you need to waterproof that floorboard before tiling? Tile and grout are not waterproof. Water will get into that durock and rust out those screws.

[@bilnitro]

Are those OSHA approved socks?

[@michaelpersson68]

Water proof? Floor

How long will it take you? Not just the time installing but are you picking up and delivering the carpet too? How far do you have to drive. How many stairs do you have to climb. How close can you park to the job.

I hate when someone comments to say "You did that wrong" nothing is wrong if it works, there maybe better ways or even easier ways. I can remember when I had apprentices at work and told them to work with as many plumbers as you can, even the not so good ones as everybody has at least one good way of doing something and you amalgamate all them ideas to find your ways. Then you pass them on to the next generation.
