scott brown here in today's exciting episode we're rebuilding this bathroom
but we're starting with the demolition
so it's an old skinny bathroom that someone put a shower in at some point
but because of the position of the bathroom and size and shape
it's around the middle of the room so this is the before shot
definitely time for an upgrade isn't it interesting how the older toilets on a pedestal
all right we have the toilet plaster has just turned up to plaster the kitchen area
and the laundry oh and yeah the bathroom begins
i've just got to um you won't be able to hear me and i've just got to
stay ahead of the plasterer get some plasterboard on that wall as well as disconnecting the bathroom
the plumber pop this little thing in here it's a recessed outlet for the washing machine
that way our plumbing pipes won't get in the way of the cabinetry that's here
so this this isn't what is meant to be done
they've glued the tiles directly to the timber flooring
that's why part is having such a hard time pulling it up oh man what a mission before
group
classic classic plumbing area here cut the big hole all the way through the joists
in the middle of the span
it's no wonder we uh had cracks and then ultimately leaks over here
so yeah not ideal so we have to replace that whole joist um and this wall we're gonna have to reframe
so it looks as though these weatherboards here probably got removed and then they put
those pieces of timber in there to support this rotten frame
and lift the rotting frame in there and look at that window sill yeah so we're focusing on
the floor in this exciting episode but after the floor we're going to reframe that wall
in the corner so part is cutting one of the joists that we just marked and i'll
show you how we marked that because this area here is dropping down for the shower
goes there like that work out the distance from our desired floor level to the laser the laser
is the reference point so yeah that's 575 that's what we want and i noticed this was a bit more
so we'll use these dpcs to get it right we're packing on old kodi flooring which is um
very rough sawn so it's a little bit up and down good to have these packers so then we're
35 mil lower from the outside floor to the shower floor and all bathrooms need to be 400 mil centers
on the joists shoot
so while uh we've been struggling in there with the floor
i think we passed the worst of it well we've been doing that tyler popped in
and tile the laundry floor as you can see around me the plastering has also
been done in the kitchen and also in the laundry there a couple days
and the cabinetry arrives so the point in the room where the bathroom floor changes levels
has to be determined by this tray this is the shower tray it's huge massive oh do you reckon
putter should you put it in the beast mate face looks tiny on the camera but it's a big unit
and also starts today welcome to another exciting edition of smokotonic
uh i got the thai chicken filled roll
so the i don't know how chaotic the last day or so of filming is going to be until
i edit it the the rotten timber that we found created a bit more trouble than we
thought it would the floor especially the joist in that corner was so rotten
and by the time we propped it cut it out cleared up all the damaged stuff replaced it we were
halfway through the day and we still had to frame the rest of the floor up so once we got past that
we were sort of on track and we've had to push the plumber a day and we've also had to push the
inspection out of day it is what it is these old bathrooms or houses in general it's a bit tricky
you're trying to put a perfectly flat floor and perfectly straight walls inside a crooked house
oh my arm smells a bit
rosie
entry
take two is it rich take two
oh and that's more like that
how heavy would you say it says potter it's concrete board i reckon it's good good 60 70
kilos yeah yeah all right i would say i would say 60 after we probably took like 10 kilo off
that with that little strip well i have to write hashtag advertisement because smart tools gave
me this it's my first time using it on site vibrator if this drops outside just just be
careful there's a playing fight there's another semester i'll be leaning out and trusting you
okay no um all right come on someone needs to go there window
and hold on oh i'll pop in through the window take this take this with you
there we go the handle kind of helped we were all planning like a nice safe
safe way of doing that scott and you've just gone and dropped it what do you reckon
that made it easy now that i do push that again will it
come turn it off see the red button press that it releases it
nice and handy
to knock that now that 18 mil compressed cement board goes in for good
swing from the elbow
so now that's flat bro that's good nice we'll go with those ones yeah they're good
apply a sturdy bond liberally to the webbed support rings and the shower base
perimeter
on a regular floor but we all know there's a lot more work than that
there you go level
you
