I wish I had one percent of the confidence in my time-estimation abilities that Adam exudes when he says "it's gonna take me about three hours" at the top of this
I once was at a friends house having a…. Spiritual experience. He said to go check out his bathroom and it was a mirrored tile floor, mirror ceiling, walls, cabinets, everything was a mirror. I’ve never had a more chaotic bowel movement…
@@DankasorusRexI cannot imagine being in a fully mirrored room, never mind for that purpose (or that condition), that would be wild, and I'm not sure if in a good or bad way 🤔
First vid I've ever watched of a man cleaning his bathroom. I liked it, but now I'm worried the YT algorithm is going to show me more bathroom cleaning videos!
I'm not sure that chamber of souvenirs qualifies as, primarily, a bathroom. 😂 Maybe we'll get videos of people cleaning out their curiosity-cabinets instead.
My video of cleaning my bathroom is quite sure. I take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. That also serves reasonably well in cleaning out the fridge at the same time.
I absolutely love that his bathroom in the cave looks exactly like what i would imagine it would look like. Adam is such a genuine human and a living treasure on earth.
I'd be so self conscious doing my business in a room with so much memorabilia, almost like defiling the place. But the reorganization does feel a bit less chaotic at least.
Thanks for showing us the reading room where you lay bricks, plant corn, recycle fiber, cut rope, debulk, release payloads, and get something down on paper.
Tidying a sentimental space like this is such a crazy difficult task, cause even if you technically ""see"" all this stuff on the walls every time you go to the bathroom, you become blind to what's truly there. Very quickly you're taking things down and "Oh I forgot about this photo!", "Who's writing is that on the back of that polaroid?", "Was that X year or Y year this was taken?" - and even if you only spend 2 or 3 minutes inspecting every other item as it comes off the wall you're suddenly an hour in with barely any progress.
great video and hilarious ending. I don't think I've ever related to someone more with my specific level of ADHD. Repeating it to me, I repeat it back, brain says "task complete" and dumps the knowledge instantly and two seconds later you are like "What the hell was i supposed to remember?".
Not finished watching yet, but you appear to be missing the three seashells! You should make a simple shadow box and mount that on the wall somewhere 😂
I'd be forced to use the Spartan method, which means that the paint would be blistered and peeling from the walls swiftly. Although, that's rather a given anyway when a solid product is being emitted...
You need more things staring at people while they're on the toilet. In our old house I had a small cabinet on the opposite wall of our toilet and a carefully curated group of figurines and tchotchkes that were all staring at whomever was sitting there. I also had some staring down from the shelf that was over the tub enclosure. As well as a Keane print that was staring over peoples' shoulder while at the bathroom mirror.
I'll admit, with the "bit of a state" it was in at the start, I'd be going insane. For me a bathroom is a functional space, so it should only really contain stuff that you need for the function of the room... and maybe a book or something for... longer visits. I get claustraphobic if there's unnecessary "clutter" around me while I'm doing something, and that includes using the bathroom it seems. I especially can't handle clutter on the floor, I don't want to be tripping over stuff or kicking stuff as I move around, and the sensation of knocking something to the floor while moving around makes me anxious. It's good to have a clear-out from time to time. I always leave it far too long.
I'm with you. Bathrooms should only have bathroom stuff. Although the downstairs bathroom here is decorated. It's decorated in fish. So it's like you're underwater.
My work space is about half that size, and I periodically have to shuffle through all my stuff, not so much to organize it, but to see what I've got, because I forget and will go buy parts I already have!
I like to think that in a weird universe somewhere, Adam is still in that bathroom constantly redecorating, never quite finishing, always adding, and always changing....forever.
You don't need to beg anything from me, it certainly appeared as if it needed a little help. And you rearranged the chaos. Well, maybe not chaos, but you get the gist, lol!
As a Brit and a relative newcomer to your channel, I love your reference to "loo"! Not something you expect to find in most US contexts but I guess I have already picked up you some affection for the UK.
12:07 "The dog's breakfast" is very American, too. It was the favorite expression of my boss when I was a college dropout/ski bum working in a ski shop a thousand years ago.
The eclectic nature of this bathroom surprised me and Ive watched this channel for years now. the clutter is anxiety inducing i wouldnt be able to to the bathroom in there!
Nearly 120,000 people as of this writing watched Adam clean his bathroom. Amazing. 😂 Also I add that Adam has mentioned it previously and he briefly references it here, that he loves creating spaces. His idea where he would and create Maker spaces for people really needs to happen. To watch him sit with someone or multiple people and discuss what they do and why and then come in and make a shop for them to create in would be amazing. Adam helps them transform their sheds, bedrooms, basements, or rented buildings into the creative and functional workspaces they need. Somebody make this happen!
I gotta tell you, seeing my hero's bathroom being that cluttered makes me feel better about myself haha. And also giving me dangerous license to decorate mine less conservatively.
I was lucky enough to be a guest of Adam at the cave a few years ago and vividly remember sitting on this toilet and taking in all the amazing things around me while I sat there, but being an Australian from Queensland specifically, one of the first questions I had for Adam when I came out was "why do you have a Bundaberg ginger beer bottle in your bathroom toilet?"
Hi Adam, as an EMT I would like to emphatically suggest that you add a small catastrophic bleeds kit to your shop, over just having the shelf in the bathroom, ideally somewhere near the lathe; a couple of tourniquets, a vented chest seal, some haemostatic gauze and a few Israeli bandages. if a workpiece grabs and takes a lump of you (or anyone else) with it, you need to be able to control it quickly, or there may only be a slim chance of an ambulance getting to you in time before major things start to go wrong. You can find a simple one day 'Stop the Bleed' course for not much money too. They're not expensive and It pays to be careful!
A dear friend of mine and artist once told me that you should always put your most expensive or important piece of artwork in your collection opposite the toilet, because it is the only place where someone will actually sit and spend time looking at it. For that reason, I love that your first headshot was opposite the toilet!
What a great job, it still; has all its character ! .. I've always been concerned about when you paint anything all that overspray coating every surface in the shop with it .. I hope that the redo of that paint area gets a proper ventilation/overspray mitigating setup
damn, makes me wanna organise all my stuff again. I did almost exactly this last week! so i dont need to, but its got me in that "re-organise shit" kinda mood! i remember the Shower conversion video! the cave is looking PREEM dude!
Watching this all I could think of were my history of design classes when I learned the term "horror vacui". This is a perfect example if I ever saw one.
A few things..... As someone who is the proud owner of a bathroom that's full of my makes, trinkets and ethemera this video was awesome to watch! Secondly seeing power outlets in a bathroom has blown my tiny British mind 🤯
I started to tidy my workshop six months ago, it started logically at "I need point A cleared and tidy", to do this I had to clear area B to accept stuff from area A, six months on I'm at point L and looking at the shop it is no better than when I started.
LOL. When Adam said he was going to glow up the bathroom, it bothered me to no end, that he didn't clear the stuff off the door. Then, once he had everything off the walls, why didn't he wash them down and repaint???? Although there were only a few glimpses, why didn't he clean up and refinish the floor??? So many questions.
lol Adam is a maximalist for sure! that is too much stuff in one space for my comfort but each to their own! my garage is very filled up like this though so I guess it depends on WHERE the clutter is. my house is pretty neat and organized but my work spaces have lots and lots of things everywhere, still organized but it LOOKS chaotic and I enjoy it.
Top on the list of things I didn't know I needed but very much do need once someone mentioned it, a conversation between Adam Savage and Tim Minchin!!! Adam, come to Sydney (where Tim is now based) and I would pay good money to sit in the front row for that!
Reminds me of when I had to clean out my closet recently, which contained EVERYTHING but clothes! Lots of my own personal memorabilia and nostalgic items. I think we all need a place like that in our physical realities, if not, then we should always have one in our minds. Thanks for sharing yours Adam! Oh and the directions for the Zero Gravity Toilet from 2001, funny as hell!
I really like the changes, it is so much nicer for the visitors that need it. I have an observation though... I know you had to make choices, but I was disappointed to miss the W00tstock posters that were in the room previously. I recognized the one from San Diego, when the show was held at 4th and B. I have my own personalized copy of that poster as a treasured memory of Nerd Vaudeville. Much respect and keep up the great work!
well don't forget Mythbusters was Aussie ran and produced...he was saturated in Aussie culture for 14yrs and it continues with all the relationships he forged from that venture...hell he wore Blundstones on the red carpet
I consider myself to be a neat and accurate pisser , but I still would be very uncomfortable having more knickknacks than a fake Irish pub within over-spray distance of my toilet. Especially if they had personal value to me. Adam you are still amazing, You make me feel like my ADD is only moderate.
Looking at the bathroom at the start of the video, aside from thinking "wow there are so many wonderful things in there!", I'm asking myself "but where do you start? and HOW???"
Hey Adam thank you for the videos u put on here watching your videos, inspires me to build and do DIY projects I wish I could visit u and your man cave it’s really cool it would be so cool to meet u
That bathroom probably has more clutter in it than I have in my entrire flat XD :D Love your videos, I always feel immediate joy when I see the notification that there's a new one online :)
I wish I had one percent of the confidence in my time-estimation abilities that Adam exudes when he says "it's gonna take me about three hours" at the top of this
Yeah, I was thinking at least three hours to empty it…before I got distracted and moved into something else!
That has to be one of the most chaotic bathrooms ever
Well, it is Adam's bathroom lol
I once was at a friends house having a…. Spiritual experience. He said to go check out his bathroom and it was a mirrored tile floor, mirror ceiling, walls, cabinets, everything was a mirror. I’ve never had a more chaotic bowel movement…
@@DankasorusRexI cannot imagine being in a fully mirrored room, never mind for that purpose (or that condition), that would be wild, and I'm not sure if in a good or bad way 🤔
Order is the il-loo-sion of control.
No. It was.
First vid I've ever watched of a man cleaning his bathroom. I liked it, but now I'm worried the YT algorithm is going to show me more bathroom cleaning videos!
I wish the algorithm worked that well.
I'm not sure that chamber of souvenirs qualifies as, primarily, a bathroom. 😂 Maybe we'll get videos of people cleaning out their curiosity-cabinets instead.
Unfortunately, you'd think you'd get something sane, but somehow I get led to crazy people and some anorexic girl for some reason....
My video of cleaning my bathroom is quite sure. I take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
That also serves reasonably well in cleaning out the fridge at the same time.
😂😂😂😂
All I can think about is the toothbrush/ toilet episodes on Mythbusters 😂
Same. I was about to say it.
True. But he also found fecal matter on the toothbrush outside of the bathroom. Hence Adam saying "there's poo everywhere."
I absolutely love that his bathroom in the cave looks exactly like what i would imagine it would look like. Adam is such a genuine human and a living treasure on earth.
Yeah I did i expect anything else not at all. Woudl i have been disappointed if it was a plain bathroom absolutely
When Adam starts to laugh with joy, it always makes me smile. He just has the best laugh.
If you haven’t heard Adam’s mom’s laughter then go back in the content and find it. You can thank me later
Nothing like emptying your guts out surrounded by priceless artifacts of Adam's life.
Priceless arifacts of Adam's life now covered in fecal matter.
I'd be so self conscious doing my business in a room with so much memorabilia, almost like defiling the place. But the reorganization does feel a bit less chaotic at least.
And you will be defiling it a little at a time every time you flush or splash lol
Thanks for showing us the reading room where you lay bricks, plant corn, recycle fiber, cut rope, debulk, release payloads, and get something down on paper.
Not to mention those occasions when you need to drop the kids off at the pool.
Ewww. 😂
The state of your bathroom makes me feel much better about the state of my house lol
Gutting the space instead of just cleaning it was EXACTLY what I needed to finish a project. Thank you for the inspiration.
Tidying a sentimental space like this is such a crazy difficult task, cause even if you technically ""see"" all this stuff on the walls every time you go to the bathroom, you become blind to what's truly there. Very quickly you're taking things down and "Oh I forgot about this photo!", "Who's writing is that on the back of that polaroid?", "Was that X year or Y year this was taken?" - and even if you only spend 2 or 3 minutes inspecting every other item as it comes off the wall you're suddenly an hour in with barely any progress.
I refer to everyone as 'neighbor'. It's friendly without being too familiar or forward. Puts folks at ease in most cases.
great video and hilarious ending. I don't think I've ever related to someone more with my specific level of ADHD. Repeating it to me, I repeat it back, brain says "task complete" and dumps the knowledge instantly and two seconds later you are like "What the hell was i supposed to remember?".
If its a shelf Adam will light it. If its a room - even a bathroom - it will be delightful chaos. :)
Not finished watching yet, but you appear to be missing the three seashells! You should make a simple shadow box and mount that on the wall somewhere 😂
I'd be forced to use the Spartan method, which means that the paint would be blistered and peeling from the walls swiftly.
Although, that's rather a given anyway when a solid product is being emitted...

Hello from Perth, Western Australia! Love the videos and all of your works, thanks for sharing all that you do ❤
Woo! Perth
Hello, Perthling 😂
Here's me having my morning coffee listening to Adam talk about the best place in the world. Hi From Exmouth
Add me to the Perthling list
Me too 🇦🇺
I like to think that in a weird universe somewhere, Adam is still in that bathroom constantly redecorating, never quite finishing, always adding, and always changing....forever.
Anyone else think it's wild how many portraits of himself he has in his bathroom?
well most people would normally have used a playboy magazine or found some content on their phone
Adam's bathroom is everyone junk drawer , but a room
It's like a museum all by itself.
The fact that Adam Savage knows Tim Minchin and his work amazes me and I couldn't be happier.
I want to see a collab video now!
The position of your Stay Puff Marshmallow Man speaks to me the line, “I’m ready for my close up Mr DeMille.”
Adam your a “toilet paper under” ?
Yes of all the Fascinating things to look at in your bathroom I focused on the toilet paper roll dispenser lol
Perthian! thanks you. enjoy the update and its something that make me happy.
(part to the bathroom is my favourite part, in-between the shelf)
The shelves on the sides makes it look so neat
Just sat down to watch this with breakfast from Perth! got a jump scare hearing us Perthlings being mentioned right off the bat
You don't need to beg anything from me, it certainly appeared as if it needed a little help. And you rearranged the chaos. Well, maybe not chaos, but you get the gist, lol!
I feel so much better about my bathroom now. I was worried it was a little over the top - but no more! Thanks Adam.
A man with a watch always knows the time. A man with two is never sure.
The cave bathroom now looks like a curated collection. Top job adam
Adam's videos are chaos in the best way possible.
All those things hanging on the back of the door 😮 I have to have a place for everything !!!
Especially with the Mythbusters episode in mind about the spray that emanates from a toilet flush and how far it travels. 🤢
I don't know man, didn't Mythbusters establish just how much..."stuff" comes out of a toilet and coats the surrounding area?
Adam, thank you for giving me the inspiration to update my favorite spaces. The changes are in the works.
Liked the comment, “take several,weeks to wrap my head around……….” So easy to relate to.
As a Brit and a relative newcomer to your channel, I love your reference to "loo"! Not something you expect to find in most US contexts but I guess I have already picked up you some affection for the UK.
As a Perthling, West Australians are also commonly known as “Sandgropers”…!
12:07 "The dog's breakfast" is very American, too. It was the favorite expression of my boss when I was a college dropout/ski bum working in a ski shop a thousand years ago.
I love your space so much it is the zenith of barely contained chaos and creativity....
G’day from Perth! (Yay shoutouts!!) Coincidentally saw Tim Minchin last night as he’s in town with his Unfunny Songs show.
This entire workshop will probably become a museum dedicated to Adam one day.
Hello from this Perthling. This has been a good reminder clean up my dunny too.
The eclectic nature of this bathroom surprised me and Ive watched this channel for years now. the clutter is anxiety inducing i wouldnt be able to to the bathroom in there!
Way to exclude any aliens who may come across a wandering wifi signal with their radioscope
I love watching him work on anything
Thanks for the shout-out for Perth 😊
Nearly 120,000 people as of this writing watched Adam clean his bathroom. Amazing. 😂
Also I add that Adam has mentioned it previously and he briefly references it here, that he loves creating spaces. His idea where he would and create Maker spaces for people really needs to happen.

I gotta tell you, seeing my hero's bathroom being that cluttered makes me feel better about myself haha. And also giving me dangerous license to decorate mine less conservatively.
Gives a whole new meaning to "cleaning the bathroom".
His bathroom is awesome but the ending is hilarious 😂 😂 cant say what he wrote down 😂😂😂. Great job adam ❤
I was lucky enough to be a guest of Adam at the cave a few years ago and vividly remember sitting on this toilet and taking in all the amazing things around me while I sat there, but being an Australian from Queensland specifically, one of the first questions I had for Adam when I came out was "why do you have a Bundaberg ginger beer bottle in your bathroom toilet?"

You can find a simple one day 'Stop the Bleed' course for not much money too.
They're not expensive and It pays to be careful!
At the very end there you look truly concerned about reorganizing your paint area. Made me chuckle. God, my place needs an entire makeover
You’d never be bored in that bathroom!
I'm a Perthling 😂 I'm literally in the CBD right now. I am a huge fan too. Adam is welcome anytime 😁
A dear friend of mine and artist once told me that you should always put your most expensive or important piece of artwork in your collection opposite the toilet, because it is the only place where someone will actually sit and spend time looking at it. For that reason, I love that your first headshot was opposite the toilet!
What a great job, it still; has all its character ! .. I've always been concerned about when you paint anything all that overspray coating every surface in the shop with it .. I hope that the redo of that paint area gets a proper ventilation/overspray mitigating setup
As a West Australian in Perth I appreciate the shout out….thank you😁😁😁
I am watching from Perth, and we call ourself Sandgropers more then Perthlins !
in 25 years of living there i never once heard anyone refer to themself as a Perthling.
I like the way it looked before Adam "cleaned it". 😮
I also like the way it looks now .. 👍
I just love the “zero gravity toilet” sign along with Moonwatcher. 🌕
I’ve watched more videos of Adam’s bathroom than of any other earthling’s bathroom.
damn, makes me wanna organise all my stuff again. I did almost exactly this last week! so i dont need to, but its got me in that "re-organise shit" kinda mood! i remember the Shower conversion video! the cave is looking PREEM dude!
That bathroom is a cove of treasures, and i see amongst them is yhe bear from your book! Excellent
Watching this all I could think of were my history of design classes when I learned the term "horror vacui". This is a perfect example if I ever saw one.
It's always a good idea to periodically *rummage* your ship: move all stored items out or at least shift them to clean and reorganize them.
I can confirm. Perth is a stunning place to live, some of the best Sunsets in the world.
Hope you get a chance to visit again Adam!
Never thought I would see Adam taking care of business in the bathroom. The bathroom makeover looks great 😎👍
Only thing i would change is the clothes on the door. I would build a small storage space closer to the entrance of the cave.
A few things..... As someone who is the proud owner of a bathroom that's full of my makes, trinkets and ethemera this video was awesome to watch! Secondly seeing power outlets in a bathroom has blown my tiny British mind 🤯
I started to tidy my workshop six months ago, it started logically at "I need point A cleared and tidy", to do this I had to clear area B to accept stuff from area A, six months on I'm at point L and looking at the shop it is no better than when I started.
Your bathroom will blow your hats off
Dude, it's genuinely on my wish list to have the privilege to visit your space. I'm not a maker, but I enjoy everything that maker's make.
LOL. When Adam said he was going to glow up the bathroom, it bothered me to no end, that he didn't clear the stuff off the door. Then, once he had everything off the walls, why didn't he wash them down and repaint???? Although there were only a few glimpses, why didn't he clean up and refinish the floor??? So many questions.

Haha thanks for the shoutout to my city! Was lucky enough to visit San Francisco last year and it’s a beautiful place too.
Now that's amazing!❤😂
This video has inspired me to start cleaning and making changes around the home and shop.
Top on the list of things I didn't know I needed but very much do need once someone mentioned it, a conversation between Adam Savage and Tim Minchin!!! Adam, come to Sydney (where Tim is now based) and I would pay good money to sit in the front row for that!
0:12 "Do you know I have many friends?" Yeah way to rub it in Adam!
Reminds me of when I had to clean out my closet recently, which contained EVERYTHING but clothes! Lots of my own personal memorabilia and nostalgic items. I think we all need a place like that in our physical realities, if not, then we should always have one in our minds. Thanks for sharing yours Adam! Oh and the directions for the Zero Gravity Toilet from 2001, funny as hell!
I really like the changes, it is so much nicer for the visitors that need it. I have an observation though...
I know you had to make choices, but I was disappointed to miss the W00tstock posters that were in the room previously. I recognized the one from San Diego, when the show was held at 4th and B. I have my own personalized copy of that poster as a treasured memory of Nerd Vaudeville.
Much respect and keep up the great work!
That restroom looks the way it should and what I expect in your cave. I like it!
Aussie here. I'm so happy a little of our culture has rubbed off onto you :)
well don't forget Mythbusters was Aussie ran and produced...he was saturated in Aussie culture for 14yrs and it continues with all the relationships he forged from that venture...hell he wore Blundstones on the red carpet
...and all I can think of is the mythbusters episode about the toothbrush and the toilet spray, and where the spray goes when you flush.
I consider myself to be a neat and accurate pisser , but I still would be very uncomfortable having more knickknacks than a fake Irish pub within over-spray distance of my toilet. Especially if they had personal value to me. Adam you are still amazing, You make me feel like my ADD is only moderate.
Wish my bathroom was as fun as yours. A true work of art, Sir. Thank you for the peek.
Looking at the bathroom at the start of the video, aside from thinking "wow there are so many wonderful things in there!", I'm asking myself "but where do you start? and HOW???"
The amount of tape that has accumulatated on that slate and Adam has not taken them all off, I find it a little unsettling.
Sitting in my bathroom watching Adam in his bathroom. I feel strangely connected.😅
The way it was I could stay in that bathroom for a couple of hours and still not get bored xD Love it xD
Well that was out of nowhere!!! Greetings from us Perthlings!
Love the outtakes at the end!
Back when I was in a Barbershop Quartet in W00tstock, Illinois...
Hey Adam thank you for the videos u put on here watching your videos, inspires me to build and do DIY projects I wish I could visit u and your man cave it’s really cool it would be so cool to meet u
Love the new look! I accumulate collection clutter too. And I’ve had to rework shelves and boxes as well.
That bathroom probably has more clutter in it than I have in my entrire flat XD :D
Love your videos, I always feel immediate joy when I see the notification that there's a new one online :)
