Renovating my 70s bathroom by myself - start to finish!
I've never done anything like this before! ... and I'm not sure I want to do it again 😂
Literally as soon as I finished giving this bathroom a quick makeover y'all let me know that there was likely mold underneath the cabinet 😅 and I'm not afraid to say YOU WERE RIGHT.
I decided to tackle this project by myself and oh my goodness this was by far the hardest project I've ever done before. Don't even get me started on waterproofing lol.
It feels SO good being done with the project and I am honestly so proud of how this turned out. I can't wait to hear what you think about it in the comments 🥹

    I was watching a vid on rehab of a really old home. They found loose bricks stacked half way up the wall by the toilet behind wallboards. They asked around, it was soundproffing, to quiet toilet noise in next room!

    Love the result. I hope your enjoying the final product! A few notes to level up your next reno: 1) it's a 70s house, so test texture and old drywall tape seams for asbestos. 2) Use strike plates to protect wires and pipes through studs and top/bottom plates. 3) Prefill large drywall holes with hot mud. Way better than spray foam, and gives the back of tape something solid.

    But why would you not add some isolation in the wall at that point? Even if it's just for sound control. Rockwool is cheap af.

    • @jamesbruno8583
      @jamesbruno8583 2 дні тому

      Don't know if I'd call it cheap. I just priced out mineral wool for an upcoming bathroom reno and it's going to cost $500 for all 60ish sq ft. The rockwool brand is >$70/bag, and even the cheaper R15 mineral wool is nearly $60 to fill a couple stud bays. I agree with the utility, but insulating is expensive. Behind finishings it's my priciest line item.

    I’m not sure what kind of tape you used, but it may not have been the wrong kind. Even the manufacturer recommended tapes can be hard to saturate (which is what you need to make sure it all adheres correctly). Plus you do have to work quickly in some cases to make sure the red guard doesn’t dry before you get it situated how you want. Looks like you did well for your first time!

I’m also so glad you didn’t fall all the way through to the kitchen floor! Bet that woke you right up! LOL Love your videos, and I’ve been missing them. Glad you’re still out there being a DIY inspiration.
