Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- In this video, you'll see a timelapse of me finishing my bathroom from start to finish. This is not a tutorial as much as it is an overview so you can see what's involved. You can watch tutorial videos of many of the steps in the video on my channel. Links for them are below. There are also links to the products shown in this video that I used.
Total cost for materials was in the neighborhood of $4,000 USD and the measurements of the bathroom are 9’5” x 4’11” (2.87m x 1.5m).

why is it 9'5" deep or long? Seems like it is 8 feet or less.
Just curious.

@@Axon_Techi can buy a car in my country with 4,000 as well here in america

Your lucky to have your beautiful wife help you. Thank her with all your heart bruh. Cuz there could be a time where she doesn’t want to help or be with you anymore. Appreciate her with your heart ❤️
great video to get a rough idea of what im in store for!
Best of luck - it'll be worth it!
I’m about to b a new home owner thank you for this video
Ahhhhhhh you made this look too easy. I totally just mentally committed to DIYing a new bathroom in our next place.
Great video. For me, the best time is when working with family.
Holy shit I've never seen a shower show the temp of the water. Super useful and I want it in my life and never want to be without it because I'm very specific about my shower temp!
scrubl0rd my shower temp is HOT

Should've had a million views by now.
omg...when i finally read your shirt i laughed for a few good minutes..lol..had to go back to see all i missed..love it!!
Haha! Glad you like it! They’re for sale in our merch store if you’re interested but either way - thanks for watching!
I’ve never seen someone work so quick... employee of the month for you big fella....
I would really suggest waterproofing behind the tub. Once the space starts collecting moisture, that insulation behind is the first thing to mold. You would also need padding under the laminate, concrete is never well leveled and allowed dust to pass through.
A lot of modern laminate flooring comes with padding already attached to the bottom as is the case here.
Yeah typically it’s prelim drywall thats waterproofed before installing a tub. Never seen a tub fastened to raw wood unless its a dead space wall
AWEDOME Job... Well done !!
very useful video. Im 19 and about to attempt this myself
Nice job!!! 10 min before family arrived! 😅Phew!
This is awesome glad videos like this exist!
Well done! Very informative
Da was beautiful work
This was a great video,i watch all your videos!!
Thanks, Jean!
NICE JOB BROTHER
U r an inspiration.
Hey! I used the same bathtub enclosure from home depot :) You have to attach it together really well or it leaks. I used silicon at first and it leaked then I had to pull out the silicon cuz it didn't really adhere then I used adhesive with silicon on top of that. I used an acrylic tub because it was light and I was working by myself. But if I had it to do again I'd probably use a heavier one. I'm afraid to put too much pressure in the wrong place on it but it looks okay and so far so good it seems to work okay. Your bathroom looks like a Hilton bathroom, great job.
How nice .!!🔥🔥
Beautiful...Nice Job👍🏽
Awesome job!👍
I wish I was as talented as you
You’re amazing man!
You’re very kind! It was a fun project.
Thanks for the video and congratulations on a great job.
You’re good thanks for this we need an extra bathroom in our home
This video was amazing, great job!
Beautiful. Great job
Well done! Beautiful job!
I would love to see a gut and reno of an existing bathroom. That’s where I am. I want to do that to both of my bathrooms.
Well done!
Awesome vid! Thanks!
Looks gorgeous! Love your videos. Thank you for your videos.
Like and shared to support this channel.
Great job 😍
This is awesome!
Great job
Did you have to follow code for this and have inspectors come in to allow the process to continue?!
I like the look of the finished product, it looks really nice and modern!
good video.
Yeah....... I'm going to hire someone to do this :D
Awesome! Are you guys LDS?
This is good because instead of adding a music you talk through what is going on in the video. Also, what type of bathtub is that? I have never seen this type of bathtub before that has panels.
Thanks so much. I honestly don't recall what the exact tub and surround were but I just picked them up from the local home depot. You can usually find shower surrounds in both single piece and three piece configurations. The single piece surrounds are more naturally water tight but also a lot more difficult to maneuver.
awesome...looks superb
Wow. Really cool video!
looks great. sorry if i missed it somewhere, but could you give a rough idea of cost?
Good job.
Do Ku have any film about blumping, and electric wire for this bathroom
.... maybe add crown mouldings or even a quarter round... makes it even look classier!
Excelente tutorial me ayudó bastante, muchas gracias
Yes,that's what I meant.My husband always puts it behind shower and tub walls.thank you,did see you put it up on other walls,curious why not behind tub surround?
Ah - gotcha. Yes, if you're doing a tile surround, for example, then you'd use the drywall. For vinyl or acrylic surrounds like this, they're designed to mount directly to the studs, then they have a flange where the drywall can sit atop them to connect to the rest of the wall. Just depends on the type of surround you're doing.
you forgot a nail to the left side of the lights😭😭but great video❤️❤️
Can I ask a rough estimate on cost for this project? It was great to watch! Very well done!!
Total cost for materials was in the neighborhood of $4,000 USD and the measurements of the bathroom are 9’5” x 4’11” (2.87m x 1.5m).
Nice vid , how much did you spend ?
Ceilings get drywalled first so edges are supported by walls
very nice. i was taught the same thing
Frftggt
That’s true, ceilings always get done first.
love it!!!
I’m curious what the tub surround manufacturer’s recommendation is for putting some sort of moisture barrier behind it. In Every bathroom build I’ve seen, they use waterproof Sheetrock (sealed with waterproof tape and mud) behind the shower/tub surround, but I don’t recall any of those being the pre-fab’d ones. Those do have seams though, so I would imagine you don’t want to leave it completely open behind due to the potential for moisture penetration over the years.
Love your work
How awesome would it have been if the door was a sliding door? It would be perfect for a small bathroom.
Nicely done 👍
Hey I like the way you doing everything my self I am actually building a bathroom as well so I need more tips from you way of doing it but pls not to fast
Nice 👍👍👍👍👍
Great job and inspiring to watch. So if you had to guess within about 6 hours high or low, how many total man hours between you and your family helping out did it take?
If I had to guess, I'd say 50 hours or so. It went pretty quickly and that's just a guess but something in that range.
@@LRN2DIY Thank you. And again, great job!
If you ever want to make a diy vaulted ceiling episode you may use my home
nicely done,
Excelente project! Congrats.
Amazing!!!!
Thank you for your response to my shower handle issue. I purchased a new handle from a link on that UA-cam page, at Amazon by BrassCraft SH5815 $15.00. The handle is smaller than I would like. I also just subscribed to your UA-cam channel. Thanks again.
Off subject,but refers to one of your video's on 3D printing. Raspberry Pi 3 Model B does it plug into the Creality3D CR - 10S 3D Printer
I have some material already but I need more of how to put the bathtub
Great video! How did you hook up the drains for the toilet and tub to the main drain line? Was there existing drain pipe in that area of the basement? Since it is in a basement, did you need to install an ejector pump?
The house was pre-plumbed with a toilet drain (it's the one you can see in the beginning of the video) and when I cut into the floor, there was a buried drain for the tub as well. The house is only a few years old and was built with an eventually finished basement in mind, which is why those were there.
Is there an ejector pump?
You only need an ejector pump if your main sewage drain is above the level that your bathroom drains are. Our homes were built with a very low drain line so we don't need an ejector pump here, but it's always best to check on that.
Amazing
Basic question: is this the correct order … framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tub/shower, painting, flooring, toilet & vanity?
9:26 that temp guage is so cool
I'm researching on how to make a half bathroom because I'll be damned to have one bathroom after my wife and I have a kid
great video and work, I subbed and liked!
Hey I know ya 😂
Wow, i have done motsly the same thing as you. Same ikea sink, same ikea faucet, same color, same mirror and same wall ;)
Great minds think alike!
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THIS BATHROOM PLEASE? LOOKS AMAZING.
Thanks! This bathroom measures 9’5” x 4’11”.
Thank you for the video, nice job, hope mind turns out as well
Wow I don't think I could ever do this with my budget, any interest in coming to Montana for a charity case? Love your videos
Haha :) - I know it can be expensive. There are always budget/used/discontinued options to keep an eye out for to save tons of money but it adds up one way or another.
I work as a plumber in Sweden and we don't install kitchen or basin mixers from Ikea due to the poor quality of the internal cartridge.

how do you have no humidity problems without tiles? O.o
This is an awesome video. I like the speed of it. Makes it look easy. Thank you. GQDaniels
I hope the lights and receptacle are gfi protected
How much would you say a stand bathroom should cost to create and install? Thank you in advance
I don't have the exact numbers but it was between $4,000 and $6,000 in total.
Thank you.
How many days it took you to finish it??
Probably 3-4 weeks, with a few nights each week plus Saturdays.
@@LRN2DIY amazing work. God bless you
where did you buy the bath tub?
awesome
No vapor barrier?
Great job! What is the cost of a bathroom this size?
Its a grate work! I love the finish look! One question: did you had any permit, inspection? I would love to hear how that exchange with the city inspector went. Thanks!
Hey Jeremy, this all depends on where you live. In the U.S., it typically does require a permit and an inspection. You’ll want to check with your city ordinances to get the details. Homeowners can do the work but it’s always good to have a plumber and inspector involved in the process. Best of luck!
👍great job
How much it cost. It look nice. What board you use on wall. Thank you.
It was about $4k - $6k in materials. Could be more or less depending on deals and tastes. For the walls I used 3/16” plywood. There’s another video about faux shiplap on my channel if you want to see how to do it.
Bro. *claps* 👐👏👐👏👐👏👐👏👐🙏
Beautiful job. On average what is the average cost of adding a bathroom like this size etc?
hhova29 Cost was around $3k. Would have been a lot more if I had used tiles everywhere but this was a simple solution given the time and budget I had.
LRN2DIY really nice job. I’m going to have to hire a friend who does work like this. I’ll help him of course to help keep cost down $ I haven’t a clue of what I would do unless it’s putting up Sheetrock and vanities, lol. Love to add a small bathroom to my home but I know a contractor company will charge me a fortune.
Awesome timelapse!!!! Looks amazing. Wish we thought of that before filming a vlog style video about building a bathroom (it’s on my channel!)
Anyway, great work!
Amazing, albeit does not look like a avg dyi project especially when it comes to the pluming.
Love the video! I just found your channel today and is amazing everything that you have done! keep Going. PS: that flareon deserves better in minute 5:03 i just found funny that you had a pokemon there xD
