@@sugaring3921 If they redid the plumping they could have done anything other than the original. They didn't have to, but they had better options, honestly.
Pro tip. It is going to be a lot harder but you're supposed to be going sideways with your drywall sheets, not long ways. The reason is because the sheets support each other when they're resting on each other.
It's not a MASSIVE mistake, not everyone likes or prefers the same things... and he said certain things were not salvageable! sometimes old things have to be replaced by new things.
Awwwww I have the same tile on my bathroom floor in pink 😂 it was my grandparents and my grandma chose it. When I redid the bathroom I was able to keep it and the pink tub lol everyone thought it would look awful but it does look amazing styled correctly.
RIP that beautiful look of an old bathroom! I hate to see old construction get taken down but I understand it has to be done. But you’re doing a great job
I can't believe you didn't reuse the pedestal sink, and art deco tub!!! The were sooo cute! You could have updated them with rustoleum resurfacing paint for bathroom fixtures, and they would have looked brand new!!!😢😮😢
Though small, I live the 1930s features of my home. That's why I bought ut. This here video reminds me of me my pops brother cousin and brother in law going for it. Love the finissh. Peace
I just bought that exact pedestal sink, only a few years older, with separate hot and cold taps to replace a cheap inappropriate vanity that was in my newly purchased historic Victorian home. She’s not installed yet but I’m going to keep the rust on it and celebrate her in her almost 100 year old form. Just realized the sink is extremely short and hard to use…but it’s too late and the rustic sink will be the coolest part of the room. Hope you guys keep yours, even if it’s to give/sell to someone like me that would be honored to have it.
Couple comments about asbestos, it's not prevalent in all building materials before 1978 but it was a great insulator and used in hvac and heating flue pipes primarily.
You should create a playlist that contains all of your house renovation content/shorts on its own because people don't want to sift through the rest when trying to watch the house reno series
Oh my - reminds me of the bathroom remodel my husband & I did years and years ago!! The original build was also plaster and lathe BUT, we discovered that the tub was put in before the floor so there was a problem there and we could not use the old tub. A lot of work went into this! Fortunately, my husband was a carpenter so that part of the remodel went just fine! The plumbing, not so much!!!
Earlier this week I took it upon myself to mentally think I would be able to remodel my own home, after watching only a few videos....... HA! ... Im a silly one for that.
So you DIY’d your own demo, rough-in plumbing and electrical, then you did your own drywall hanging and finishing? I would’ve liked to see you do that part of the process as well as see you hang your own tile backer board plus tile install…
I have to remodel my bathroom soon (the floors seem squishy in places under the linoleum), and I’m terrified to get down to the crawlspace level of things. Please tell me it’s not as bad as it seems. 😅
Curious how much this would cost? I wanted to open up the main bathroom, and I have a 1/2 bathroom in the next room over and I wanted to open both up and the same time and move the plumbing around.
I'm so heartbroken by the disappearance of all these marvelous fixtures and all that tile that I don't think I can bear seeing their finished idea of what "looks good" ...
A easy way to fit the trash from plaster & lath is to lay the trashcan on its side and put the wood in that way, you will use up a lot more space valuably
That wood behind the tile looked totally dry!! I've been trying to waterproof my shower, watching 100s of videos about using membranes, tape, foam... Thousands just for waterproofing. Now it looks like your 1930s shower was just thin set sitting on 1x's, no water damage... What's the secret lol?!
The secret is that was done by quality craftsmen. And it was all torn out and I'm sure will be replaced with the same grey/black and white bathroom EVERY house has now. They'll probably even put a barn door up in there somewhere. And didn't even salvage the tub, tile, sink or toilet. People just don't appreciate the craftsmanship that these older houses glow with.🤦🙄🤷
Totally stripped it of all its character and didn't even salvage any of the old relics. How shameful. People pay good money for stuff like that because it looks nice and it lasts.
Next time just take down the plaster and you can leave the lathe there for more backer support. Or if you want remove all of it, take off the plaster first and then the lathe it makes faster clean up.
How do you even know there was asbestos in the house? We own a 120-year-old house. There is NO asbestos in the house. NEVER WAS. We have horsehair plaster (which does suck) 2 years ago we had our 1 full-bath bathroom remodeled. A knee wall was taken down, adding a foot to the floor plan and another 2 feet was added by going into a bedroom. Everything was taken down to the studs. We even had the radiator taken out and an electric baseboard was put in. I think we’ve turned it on only twice! (We live in the Northeast!) As this is our only full bath we did replace the tub and added barn door sliding glass doors., and added a rain shower shower head; instead of putting in a walk-in shower. We also were able to put in a 60-inch double vanity with vessel sinks. The toilet was moved to a different wall than where it was before. The entire bathroom was pricy (around $26,000 total); but worth it. It’s really beautiful.
“Since we’re not experienced”. Like come on, you really think we believe that! You knew what to do and floated that sheet rock like a pro and leveled the damn floor. That isn’t easy. It takes a lot of KNOWING WTF TO DO to accomplish this.
It hurts my heart seeing you rip all this stuff out. The sink is in a wonderful state as well as the toilet, towel holders and bathtub. I hope you at least donated them to an antique mall or someone who appreciates these artefacts. At least the tiles weren't Virtalite, then many would have been sad to see them destroyed.
