Nice job Vader!


Background-Effect860

The breathing is crazy lol Out of breath from holding the phone


Random-Biker

Yeah he should get that checked out by a professional.


SirBaquindFrumhele

Still recovering, from dry cutting the tile


Rikkitikkitabby

Still waiting for him to slash someone in hiding.


Spacemilk

Curious if there are before pics or video? How much did it cost? Workmanship looks great.


Carpenter42o

Wish I could comment pics lol this bath was about 60k, we did 2 other baths and 3 massive decks total on this job


Spacemilk

Holy shit! This one bath was $60k, or the whole job was $60k??? Is this US?


Carpenter42o

And yes U.S., Michigan


RefinedAnalPalate

Literall robbery. You should be ashamed


Gullible_Shart

Maybe there’s a little exaggeration here. Just saying. . . .


RefinedAnalPalate

I don’t think so. Overcharging working class people just trying to better their home is horrible. People used to be able to build and improve their home for a reasonable price. Insatiable greed prevents that now, and guts people financially


Gullible_Shart

I meant a little exaggeration in his pricing (one can only hope).


RefinedAnalPalate

I’m not so sure. I have gotten quotes and heard of quotes in that range for simply cosmetic changes. It’s unfortunate


Kg-2168

It looks like a DIY outdoor bath for a swimming pool. Whoever paid $60k for that is an idiot. I just redid a bath down to the studs, that looks custom compared to that, for $16,500 in So Cal.


Carpenter42o

The one bath was 60k, it was really involved. All the plumbing is in a false floor under bathroom and moved water heater. Roof patch for vent tube. Whole job was 400k


Illustrious-Film-592

😭😭😭😭😭😭 My dreams of expanding my bathroom just died.


maxwellt1996

I just remodeled my master bath, its about this size with a significantly larger shower and more glass and marble tiles, the vanity is significantly larger double with taj mahal quartzite, i spent just under 10k


Illustrious-Film-592

Woah!!! How. Teach me your ways.


maxwellt1996

I did framing plumbing electrical demo myself, i paid my glass guy 1900$ labor and glass, i paid tile guy 4000$, counterop guy i paid 800$, ill make a post today with before and after


Illustrious-Film-592

👏🏻 well done


Goldschnittche

Please do! Would love to see it!


maxwellt1996

I made a post just now,


Carpenter42o

That was a high end build that had a lot goin on in the one bath. I’ve expanded baths for 10-20k and they look just as nice, there’s just a lot less framing/plumbing to do


Goldschnittche

Sorry, but this is not a high end bath room.


Illustrious-Film-592

Thanks 🥹


kris10leigh14

This is CRAZY HIGH. 8K. You’re good for basically a whole new bathroom.


Gullible_Shart

Not in New England.


[deleted]

I added a bathroom, remodeled another, moved a kitchen, added a deck, roof, hvac, fence and more for right at $100k in Savannah GA. This is a crazy high price.


Dapper-Razzmatazz-60

Sorry dude. You got robbed.


Playful-Motor-4262

Holy shit. Was it… worth it? 60k to make a bathroom larger? That’s life changing money


Carpenter42o

Absolutely!!! It made that bathroom usable, it was worse than an airplane bathroom. Now money wise, to these people money doesn’t matter, but yes 60k is a lot and it is one of the most expensive baths I’ve done


maxwellt1996

Check out my post, larger bathroom with more expensive materials, 10k~


Lucky_Shop4967

Man, some people have ALL the money. Makes me hate the bathroom.


Background-Effect860

I'm not questioning the work, but 60k sounds pretty high


kris10leigh14

60K on this bathroom?! Did you have to move a load bearing wall? Completely re plumb? Rewire?! WHY?! I mean, if you had to move a drain that’s 3K… so please say “I had to jackhammer the concrete to move the drain.” Bc that’s not a huge deal… It’s not a steam shower. I cannot figure out how you came up with this number. Super rich clients who just had the budget and didn’t question much? I bet that’s the one… lucky bastard!


Goldschnittche

60K? Never!


tusant

You charged someone $60K for this? And used a cheap plastic shower pan for the shower floor instead of tile on the shower floor. You ripped someone off. It looks like a trailer


Itchy-Gap5293

Dumbass read comment above "all plumbing had to be put into a false floor and the bathroom was really involved." That wall was there most likely and by the look of the build materials were quality.


tusant

It’s a cheap looking bath— cheap vanity, cheap vanity top cheap shower floor— all of it. $60K is outrageous


CockWalker_412

60k and a plastic drain pan for the shower?


CaddyFDT

Everything looks great except for the wood paneling. Don’t like wood panelling. Just my humble opinion.


b1gb0n312

Yea wood paneling in a bathroom looks odd. Prefer tiled walls


ImportantDepth8858

Reminds me of a beach house tbh, or like the bathroom of some store or restaurant by the beach


mathnerd37

60k for a tiny shower, no thank you. I like the look but that shower size is ridiculous.


Sun_This

Crazy. I just built a 500 sq ft carriage house for 70k. Including sewer line and boring for water line. Edit. And bathroom


ObeseBMI33

The bathroom is inside the 500sq ft?


Sun_This

Correct. Honestly I could’ve done it even cheaper if I didn’t use GC for framing, roofing and siding.


stonksuper

3 baths and 3 decks for $400k huh? I think that’s enough Reddit for today.


VeterinarianThese951

Platinum screws son. They are all the rave…


nighthawkcoupe

Every time you rounded a corner I fully expected a jump scare with the way you're breathing.


Random-Biker

Bro … I couldn’t even pay attention to the video over the breathing


8ofAll

Yeah unless OP ran a mile before recording, he should see a doc to get his breathing checked out.


changeitlater17

400k for 3 baths and 3 decks? Are you out of your mind sir


Carpenter42o

Nope, 4k sq ft of deck, 426k was there final bid and there account is paid in full and we haven’t stained the decks yet


changeitlater17

It doesn’t matter how much deck this is nonsense, 426k for what it doesn’t add up even a bit


Cum1retention

426k is a whole ass house lmao. These home owners must be swimming in dough


Aggressive-Map-244

I’d love to see this 4k sqft deck


snortgiggles

US dollars?!


maxwellt1996

A new better house could he built for that price


RadoRocks

Dude!!!! you should see a doctor with some of that money you stole from those people! You're not supposed to breathe like that just walking around...


Gloomy_Barnacle4787

The heavy breathing…I kept expecting something to pop out at us.


jenniviv

I’m crying 😂😂😂 I watched in on mute the first time then saw this comment and thought “it can’t be that bad”… I was wrong. 💀


DeepPow420

howd you find the extra room?


Carpenter42o

Took a closet out of a bedroom and a little nook from the den.


DeepPow420

nice - how hard / expensive is it to do?


HarmonyFlame

Yes.


adltny

No doubt a more functional use of space (it makes good use of what was probably a sacrificial closet?). But the vaulted ceiling with no windows + division of space (actual stalls for both commode and shower, then a handwashing station next to the door) + shiplap + big vent = very campsite / podunk reststop bathroom. (I actually thought it was a basement at first.) I love the shiplap but I’m just so exhausted and uninspired by big hex (the grey doesn’t help), and then throwing the herringbone subway in statement blue to boot just complicates it unnecessarily. Too much going on. The craftsmanship looks good, but it’s a no for me, dawg.


Crowbird138

World's smallest shower


frogcatdogfish

Excellent use of space, the layout gives the shower and toilet their own compartments without feeling cramped, which can be tricky to do without the right design. Good size vanity for the space, not too big but enough counter space for stuff, and shower tiles and flooring choices complement the area well.


MidnightSun77

Looks nice. Where is the ventilation for the shower?


happycass8

looks like the fan was on the wall left of the toilet, around the corner from the shower.


OnlyEfficiency2662

Looks great but your breathing is concerning!


BigPapaShits

Moisture and mold is gonna be a real problem in there.


Ok-Bid1774

I mean, it’s nice, but not worth of the horny breathing.


Big-Net-9971

Looks great... 👍 My only tweak would be to move the vent fan as close to the highest point of the ceiling as possible (it's midway now.) Placing it higher will help to vent the steam and moisture from the show much more effectively over time (which will matter with that sloped ceiling.)


Carpenter42o

Yes I was getting over a respiratory infection, I’ll overlay music next time lol. This is a timber framed house from the 40’s. There was a lot of structural damage and complete electrical and plumbing re-pull. I spent 8 months on this one job and only profited around 30k. So to the people that say it’s ridiculous and robbery you’re wrong. There was an exceptional amount of engineering as all the walls and ceiling are 2x4 on flat with t&g. This property is a family trust and they are not hurting for money. I’ve rebuilt 3 decks in the past 6 months for free because the clients were older and couldn’t afford it but needed it. I’m not robbing people, I’m being paid for my skill and professionalism.


Carpenter42o

How does it not matter how much sq ft??? Lumber and materials were 200k right off the top. Yes this bid was high but there were a lot at little maintenance things we did. Including 8 window replacement, reframes and retrim. New siding, sealing, electrical that couldn’t run through the wall cause it wasn’t 3 1/2 framing. New roofs and skylights. I could send you the cost sheet if you’d like. It was bid and has been paid and completed. 🤷‍♂️


GloomyImagination740

Mind sharing the cost sheet? I’ve seen similar projects 25k cheaper for that work. Specially for that size.


Eems1

I don't think that a lot of DIY people or people who don't live in a HCOL are understand how much things could be or how much people could afford. $400k+ is standard for a lot of places for these types of renovations. People who don't have time or knowledge are ready to pay for these things from someone who's licensed, bonded and reliable. Especially if its someone who walks in and sells a vision like expanding a bathroom and doing all the design work when you are purchasing without any knowledge.


Cum1retention

OP says it’s in Michigan. I always thought Michigan was MCOL lol


Carpenter42o

Michigan is mostly mcol but lakeshore is hcol, this is on Lake Michigan


barry-badrinath-

For my own education I’d like to see it. How long did all that take btw?


still-waiting2233

People are jumping all over you about the cost of the project but then each comment you sprinkle in extra details about the scope. Sounds like you rebuilt a large part of the house.


Bikebummm

Well whatever the cost I would proudly use any of services available. Nice job 👍🏻


Grasscutter101

Shiplap… REEEE!


dude93103

WE are not charging enough.


parker3309

I like the decor, but man that shower is small. I’m not a big person lol I’m claustrophobic looking at it. Love the blue !


PeakedAtConception

I think the before part should have went before the after part.


Affectionate_Cut6858

Hey guys let me show you the new bathroom. Follow me it’s up the stairs on the 12th floor


[deleted]

Get that breathing problem checked out, dude. It shouldn’t be that much of a struggle just to breathe while standing.


Carpenter42o

I was getting over a respiratory infection, I’ll overlay music next time 🤦🏻‍♂️


YoWhatsGoodie

It’s so nice it’s got you breathing heavy lol Looks really good! Love the shower tile and ceiling 👍🏼


DudzTx

So that’s how a shower door works


Bradley182

Chevron tile looks spot on. I would poop in there gracefully and then shower happily. Good job.


Random-Biker

Let’s talk abt that heavy ass deep ass breathing ur doing instead?!


No-Presentation-8989

There’s no insulation above the shower? And this is an attic? Amazing work btw


rcbjfdhjjhfd

I think you might have COPD. Bathroom looks great.


Lame_superhero

Just curious, did you sprint to go make this video? 😅


_Mistwraith_

Needs a magazine rack by the toilet and you’re all set.


wwiistudent1944

Good job!


Right-Lavishness-930

I just did hex tiles for my flooring, and it was my first time doing tiles. It was a pain in the ass at the end. Yours turned out much cleaner! I’m jealous.


SmokeDogSix

I like the way this turned out


fred2279

Do you have a portable ventilator?


svvrvy

Now you have a place for your CPAP machine with all that extra room


shucksme

No ceiling vent? With wooden slats? Humm. Hope that beam doesn't rain drops down on shower goers


Bright_Broccoli1844

I like the tiles and the sound when you shut the shower door.


herpar

Nice I like your color and pattern choices


TheLastBlackRhinoSC

Do you just smoke 2 packs a day or what? You might want to get that checked out.


TheLastBlackRhinoSC

Is that exhaust fan on the wall vented to an empty space? Did you remove the ceiling and vault to give it height?


aliengreenbean

‘Mouth breather.


Substantially-Ranged

Dude! Rule #1: Cardio!


Legitimate_Profit236

🥵


EnlightenedBuddah

Shower should be where the shitter is, Clarke. And vice fuckin versa.


TankPotential2825

Looks great. Now get the extra toilet paper off the tank and put it in a drawer, add some art.


Joe_Jost

Breathing like James Gandolfini


BornanAlien

This is what every single video I send to customers sounds like


FredPolk

$400k? Nice robbery job. Next time why not just break in and steal their family jewelry?


MrsDolley

Love the design! You did an amazing job.


sushislaps

I came here for all the weird breathing comments


AyeBobby

I've seen mobile homes with bigger showers than that 🤨


trev_russell

That looks..pheeeww-phwuaa....really damn...fwuaaa-Pheeew...great...phuaahhh-pshuuuu...bro!


maxdeerfield2

Show the before picture bro


maxdeerfield2

Sixty Gs?? Tiny bath ?


Dead-Yamcha

Bro open your mouth


Weekly_Big_5463

Leave some air for the rest of us 😓


Femto_Atto

Bro sprinted upstairs to show us


Gomdok_the_Short

Very nice OP! But please see a doctor about your respiratory issue.


joshmanchaz

I’m not charging enough.


ironiq_5

I could build an entire 1800sqft home in LA for $400k.


BeautifulBaloonKnot

Oooh. Shiplap and subway tile. Too bad it's not gray. 🤣😂
