Omg I'm stupid for even attempting to remodel my master bath. First ever bathroom job [not counting @akmike47 giving me a handy in public bathrooms].
Ah yes, the "little remodel" that you think will take a few days, a week tops..! Been there, my friend. Have you had your "what the fuck did they do this for" moment yet? Best of luck.
Your first damn problem is that you have a bucket from Harbor Freight. What other substandard equipment have you purchased for this job?
Probably is, or will be be his trash can. The ladies will love it. Not that I know how that will go or anything.
Problem with bathrooms is they are every “trade” in a 8x8 area.
Mess with a den or bedroom no pluming
Run a radiator line no real plumbing or electrical
Bathrooms are a small house
It's not gay when you only have one nudie mag to share.
Omg. So many WTF moments already. Like the plumbing is centered in the alcove, but the sink was offset to the left... like
wtf. Peasant activities. Go be poor somewhere else. I'm gonna do something like this, but 72" wide and a butcher block top and cool glass bowl sink.
I used my Milwaukee M12 Fuel oscillating multi tool and M18 Fuel impact driver to rip apart that bullshit vanity.
Buckets are a non-critical item.
Insulting a man's tooling is just not cool
Bathrooms and kitchens get really fucked when the remodel starts because of an unknown amount of water damage as opposed to just improving what some idiot before you thought was acceptable. Replacing a wax ring turned into a major cluster fuck a few year ago.
Rip it out and do new tile like this. 6x24 wood look porcelain tile I already installed in the rest of the house.
Broski, I've been at this re-flooring my whole house/remodel since beginning of August.... by myself.
There's a reason tile guys charge $10/ft² in just labor to install......
All BS aside, that tile is very cool.
This stuff from Home Depot. Made in USA.

It really is. Wouldn't have meshed with the actual old oak floor I refinished at my place but I like it a lot. I went with a "neutral earthtone."-Ho at the time, my pops calls it "gonorrhea green." Since I epoxied the floor in the garage, I can't rattle can shit out there any more. Maybe I'm just drunk.
I agree. It's definitely going to be a learning curve..... But that's the best way to learn.
Definitely a big upgrade from 12x12 glossy white tile from God knows when.

We wound up going with the wood-look tile too. I fought, and fought my wife on that choice…I wanted real hardwood floors. So happy that we went with the tile now though.
Place had poorly cared for polished concrete floors when we bought it, and spent the first 45 days after buying it in our old house while we got shit done here. Floors, shelves and cabinets in the recessed alcoves on either side of the fireplace, etc.
Only difference is I’m not talented enough (and far too lazy) to do that shit myself; busted up knees make it a non-starter anyway, LoL.
And yes, we know the curtains are hung too high!
. That pic is a couple years old now…taken right after we first moved in.better pic of the floors:
Edit: and about to go through round two of kitchen renovations. Getting rid of the microwave cabinet (replacing with a regular cabinet), re-doing that butler’s pantry with shelves and taller counter-height cabinets, painting the cabinets white…with the island, stove hood, and new, taller cabinets in the butler’s pantry getting painted that ‘Fox Black’ (dark blue) color of the cabinets on either side of the fireplace.

. Wood or "wood" floors really change the vibe/energy of the place
Looks good except the end gaps are too big. Start over.
