Day 1, gutting a very old bathroom

[Remodeling Maidiac]

One old bathroom to go. Free obo. Crane needed to load

Here's the trim yall keep asking about. Stone pencils. Same thing borders the soap niche

How do they get rid of the old bathroom?

Trash truck with a crane attached to it. Pretty cool concept. No more dumpsters wrecking driveways

Wow, that is so cool, what about capacity though? Are the Bagsters rated to a max. weight, and it would be impossible to know if you are going to exceed that or not. That seems perfect for bathroom remodeling though, or single room tear-outs.

If one of those bags busted open in the front yard or driveway, oh man.....

Same material as they have been using for a lot of things... like pre-mixed concrete.

It can hold a LOT of weight and is fairly durable.

The bags are listed for a max of 3300 lbs. I've had them over 4k many times. Never had any issues

For those curious here's how the clips work. The further in you force the ribbed wedge the more pressure it puts against the back of the tiles.

Dude that’s pretty neat I’ve never seen these before. I’ve had to do some SHIT to get flush lips on out of whack walls. Who sells those?

Home Depot sells those I'm using. Make sure to buy the CURVED ones unless you are putting up VERY thick stone/tile. They work incredible.
Lowes has their own brand too but I've never used them.

I've put up 4' long tile in showers with them and have zero lippage.
Just make sure when you stop for the day you have them inserted for the next row the next day or you'll never get them under the tile.

36" tile all done with them in a BIG ASS shower. Not one uneven joint.

Looking good from my house...

Omg

It's a stylized Lilly from the French revolution. It is very common in bathrooms built in the 60's

A fleur-de-lis.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

A fleur-de-lis.

Don't really care either way. It was a VERY common print in the 60's & 70's.
And isn't that the symbol the NO Saints use too?

Just really dumb to see evil everywhere you look.

Keep the photos coming, if possible. The process is interesting.

Interesting, in a property brothers kind of way.

 

[odanny]

That is a big ass shower, damn.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Shower mostly finished. All electrical replaced.
New insulation next to attic.

Omfg, I almost had a VERY BAD MONDAY.

Put up all the new sheetrock on the wall opposite the shower and started putting up the tile. Put up the tile that essentially covers the entire back of the toilet area and thought to myself "where the hell is the cold water feed for the toilet...."

Shit, I walled right over it lol. Pulled off the tile cut open the wall and added water for the toilet lol.
Had I not noticed that till Monday I would have fired myself.

I love the bathroom it looks roomy but it can definitely be upgraded
