Re: Bathroom Refurbishment

$200 plus $150 worth of batteries and a charger for free.
Lady outside the store working for Bosch gave me a tshirt and another free battery when she saw me Furry the gear to the car.

What an amazing tool. I finished the floor in a little over an hour.
Time to get the tiles off the drywall now!

Re: Bathroom Refurbishment

DC Blue wants to hope that the tilers did a shit job of sealing the wall before they tiled or that the tiles are on a cement board, otherwise that drywall will be a f ucked wall.

Re: Bathroom Refurbishment

A 240v sds hammer drill will do it. Just buy a few extra chisel bits as they snap at the stem when they heat up.

Might struggle with 240 V though.

the US DIY home renovations programs I used to watch ( 2 brothers / twins present one of them ) seem to imply that the " code " states that all bathroom boards need to be 1/2" Cement board ( with 1/2" OSB backing board )

Re: Bathroom Refurbishment

I dug into cement board big time.
Like a webbing with crumbled concrete behind it.
I was a bit concerned at first but my Mate who's making sure I don't fcuk everything up says we are replacing it anyway.

About another 60sq ft to do on the walls.
Tub out tomorrow.
Thinking of grinding it into thirds/quarters for removal.

Re: Bathroom Refurbishment

I'm trying to get a bathroom gut reno. It went from $6,000 to blokes just quoting $20,000 over the phone without even looking. For a 6 x 8' room. I've had about $5,000 of drywall, backing board, bath, sink, tiles etc sitting in my garage for over a year.

I remember you saying.
We were in the same boat, had a guy lined up was going to be around 20k for two bathrooms
We agreed in principle but we had to keep chasing for a start date and he wasn't very collaborative.

So finally after a conversation with a Mate and a bunch of free slate from him, we decided to start.

Back on it after the City game finishes.

Re: Bathroom Refurbishment

Pretty much finished.
Have to tidy up and seal some grouting as well as put some pencil trim on the baseboard.

But one thing trumps all of that, i see that you're an Adidas classics man, fair play :hehe: :thumbup: You should be proud of yourself.
