Hey students!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: when you are remodeling your bathroom, your best plan of action is to gut it down to the studs so you can see what is going on with the plumbing, electric, and FRAMING. This is definitely a must in an older bathroom/home.

Time and water can do extensive damage to existing framing in the bathroom space. Plus, you don’t know what the previous contractor did to that bathroom framing to make things work (like notching a chunk out of the floor framing to make the plumbing run right).

If you are laying down thousands of dollars worth of waterproofing, tile, and fixtures in a bathroom, you best believe you want to have a solid, LEVEL foundation. Otherwise, you might just be throwing your money away.

I know this can be an overwhelming process, and I am here to help guide you through it.

In this video, I go over the best way to evaluate your old framing, how to set a new ledger board, and I also explain exactly what a load bearing wall is, as well as balloon framing.

I’ll also show you how to sister a new joist, and go over the common obstructions you might run into when adding new framing.

You’ll see me add new plywood to the space, and I explain why I like OSB Plywood the best. I’ll also show you a common framing issue at a bathroom door entrance and how I overcome it.

I even throw in a spray foam adhesive disaster at the end to keep it real. 😄
