what's going on here in today's exciting episode we do
the bathroom line it and uh there's a kitchen on the job now
okay so we didn't film ourselves doing a lot of this bathroom it was just a lot of straightening
walls none of this timber was a normal piece of timber it was all ripped and packed and
nailed and we used the same method that we used when we lasered the kitchen wall
a couple episodes ago so you didn't miss much the way i figured it is i didn't enjoy doing
it so you probably wouldn't enjoy watching me do it but basically every wall that one this one all
these walls were completely crooked just like the floor so we've essentially rebuilt all these walls
and it includes making space for this internal toilet this system is built into the wall to save
space as you know it's quite a narrow bathroom so a wall hung toilet there vanity over here which
we've added extra fixings for and it'll be wall hung as well to create the illusion of more space
and then where plato's standing is this water wall shower tray that you would have seen in the
last episode and this if anyone's wondering about insulation this is sound insulation
and we're going to go down this side because there's a bedroom on the other side
the other side of this is the kitchen so it's not as crucial but here in this external wall we have
r 2.5 insulation the same stuff that's through there in the kitchen we didn't do that in videos
either because the owners actually installed the insulation in there to save time and you know get
ahead of us it's great insulation it's real rigid but it's very difficult to cut we ended up using
a grinder and like a handsaw to get through it the benefit of something so rigid is that it won't sag
over time it sort of holds itself in its place so that's it there and this wall has been packed out
90 mil from the original wall which we had to cut all the rotten studs out of and we replaced all
those and put this timber in so we didn't film ourselves doing it but you did not miss much
i tell you what when you're doing a bathroom there's no easy days you probably say that about
renovations in general so now python and i are going to line it in here line the walls finally
all that work we got it inspected as well
oh what oh let's spray a leak
over here isn't plasterboard over here is villaboard now villaboard is a cement sheet
and this is a plaster sheet now the reason we use the cement sheet on this side
is because it's holding tiles
another requirement of bathrooms is to have an internal metal flashing and that's just
to help hold the timbers together essentially just means we have to pilot hole every screw
and we're screwing every 150ml centers on the cement board a little taller than amiibo last one
uh
shout out to uh shout out to hypo for giving us a free pink toilet
now this video isn't about pink toilets although i do appreciate them letting us borrow that for
free this video is about this bathroom and we're gonna try and finish lining it today
now you may have noticed something else about this bathroom this is a shell
wall to wall so this is framed up to the window and our villa board is coming around
and it will essentially become a window stop i had my reservations when i realized
we're putting a window inside a shower and i've been back and forth with the
architect but basically what they're doing is they're waterproofing into the window
and tiling into the window and then there's going to be a glass screen that closes on some seals
to cover the window essentially the window will be sealed up and it will
be opened every now and then but mainly it will be providing daylight just like it is right now
so this is the window from the outside here
and you can see it just swings around without the um stops in place the stops are usually here
and usually made of timber and now that we're making it all tiles it's going to come around
and that's what's going to keep that in there the other issue with that is when you service one of
these windows you usually do it by taking off the bead on the inside now the bead on the inside is
made of tiles and waterproofing so you totally can't do that so you have to if you need to
take everything off from the outside which means removing this uh removing this which is checked in
and it's the same both sides and then and only then can you get those window sashes out
to plane them or paint them or you could probably still re-glaze this like if somebody
smashed the window you'd probably reglaze it in place but if you need to do any timber work
it's a lot more destructive taking the sashes from the outside than it is from the inside so the
clients are aware of that the architects designed everything and that's what we're going with so
we get to keep the light in the bathroom which is great and uh we just have to make sure it's sealed
so that cement board is a little bit more work than plasterboard but it's got
a lot more strength and because we've got tiles in this area we also put
knobs at close to centers too just so it's extra strong you ready
about the details
wrong
check it out what are you saying there man what are you saying oh yeah
typically you're about to melt out totally ruined it this is where you
put your uh your shower stuff your shampoo conditioner and stuff little wee shelf
okay oh my god even the gap between the top and bottom
so where the um where we're not using the villa board we're using jib plasterboard and this is the
green stuff and the brand called it aqualine and that's what we use in wet areas so we've got the
white stuff that's standard the blue stuff that's bracing and uh the green stuff is for bathrooms
and wet areas you can tile directly onto the green plasterboard the fixing requirements change
like you have to put more screws but you can do it it's just that the architect has specified
villaboard in the shower area so that's why we do it looks like it's gonna fit
we're trying to clear the job out all that dining area and in around the kitchen area uh needs to
be clear for the plasterer little architraves and things like that to complete you know where i took
down the zip wall as well and took away our tool storage meanwhile part has been sorting out the
entryway into the bathroom that's pretty much the last thing we need to do in that bathroom before
the tyler arrives empty my van and then fill it all up again with more stuff let's get back to the
job
oh bathroom's all done oh my god internal toilet hidden architrave back on we're gonna swap that
head out when we straighten the door up and open the gap up it's gonna be a little shelf in there
made out of the same stuff that we walk on when we walk in the house and this little
draw wire here feeds up to here and will help the tiler tyler underfloor heating up into the wall
into a little thermostat that sits behind the door a lot of work went behind these walls at least you
know it any questions about the bathroom please comment below uh there'll be more episodes the
tyler's gonna be here tomorrow to start looking at the waterproofing and the under floor heating
and yeah there's still some more work yet to be done we'll get in there matt
well thanks for watching this exciting episode guys i'm now in
exciting traffic um the next episode the very next episode will be the nikita 40 volt video
i've had a lot of questions about that um it's a first impressions video and also
a review of the tools that we've been using for months now so uh so yeah take care everybody
you
