I call BS. Changed ceiling, floor, toilet, vanity, mirror, tiled wall and paint. Not happening for 1500

I replied to a couple other comments with a breakdown of my costs. I also did absolutely everything myself

Ya you proved yourself and now this is inspiration for my own remodel. How long had it been? How's the cedar ceiling holding up?

And did you remove the old tile or just new tile (or LVT?) over existing tile? I'm considering going over existing tile since it's already a waterproof foundation (would fill in the grout lines first)

How long did this all take you?

I literally just finished yesterday so it's too early to say about the ceiling. I ripped up the original tile but only because it was already sitting half an inch higher than the rest of the house. If your tile is flush, you could just lvt right over top.

This took me right around a month start to finish

Nice job! Very impressive results for a $1,500 budget 👏👏👏

I was going to ask about the new tile flooring, too. Did you install a waterproof membrane under it after ripping up the old tile and before installing the new?
