Keeping the cast iron bath tub was a smart move. And, heat vents are always put under windows on the outside wall. Good that you moved that. I think the remodel looks fantastic. Plus, I really enjoyed watching the remodel series.

You did a heck of a job. Love it all.

I totally understand why you kept your bath tub. I’m not replacing my tub with one that’s subpar quality. The bathroom is beautiful and you know it’s quality work because you did it yourself. Thanks for sharing your talent.

We live in a 1940 house and had a guy redo out cast iron tubs, both of which look just like yours. It was quite a process. He not only cleaned it first but filled all the pits that occur after 80 years of drips, etc., like you would for a car's finish. Then he sanded and etched and then put the epoxy glaze on it. They look just like new and it's been seven years. The only annoying thing about that process is the smell. Boy, is it strong! And it lingers for a couple of days. But well worth it. Love all your videos, by the way. Most interesting and informative DYI videos on UKposts.

it's contagious! I am a programmer and have nothing to do with repairs, but after watching this video I have a strong desire to streamline the processes in my work. Time-lapses like these are nice to watch for a while. It's like meditation

As long as you love everything that’s all that matters but I must say you are the cleanest demo remodel person I have ever seen.

You make your skill set look easy when we all know it’s not easily accomplished. Thanks for showing us all the details

Baseboards are placed below windows to optimize the flow of hot air. Cold air sinks and warm air rises. So cold, dense air from the window sinks to the floor and actually pushes the hot air from the baseboard out and up into the room. Tub is classy and unique. Loved watching your remodel.

You NAILED this Q&A! Also, thank you for NOT addressing opinions :) You truly did a fabulous job and by the way GREAT move on keeping the tub! I wish we had kept ours instead of going with a fiberglass replacement, which in NO WAY compares to a cast iron tub. I love watching your videos. If you ever need a project in south Georgia, my husband and I would be thrilled for you to use our home in a video:) I love how you do ALL your research, you leave no stone unturned. Congratulations to you and your wife on the delivery of your first child, such a blessing.

Totally enjoyed watching all episodes of the remodel 😊😊

The bathroom looks awesome! You have done a great job on all you renovations!!!

This was an amazing remodel! Your attention to detail is fantastic! Great work!😊❤️👍

An absolutely beautiful transformation! Well done!!!

Great job. Watched the whole remodel, learned some things and enjoyed it! Thanks.

Absolutely beautiful! Great job!

Congratulations on the new addition! Amazing job!!

Love that you kept the tub!! Quality and eco friendly to re-use.

Love it! Tiles are fabulous! And you can't beat a cast iron tub! Hands down the best! And WOW on the outcome of having it redone!

You’re a great dude! Your demeanor and all of the information of the process were great to watch. Best to you and your family! Thanks for the series, very helpful for my own projects

I really enjoyed the time lapse and it’s STILL the best bathroom I’ve ever seen, remodel or not!

Love the transformation.

You did a fabulous job and I enjoyed watching it!

Congratulations on the new baby! That is very exciting!

I like the job done from scratch - inside out. Fantastic its so clean, enjoyable and beautiful 😍

Your channel is growing so well. Congratulations buddy!!

You did an awesome job and you can’t please everyone. Great job.

You did an awesome job. At the end of the day it is your home. I look forward to more of your remodeling projects.

👍👍👍 Yes when I did my bathroom remodel I kept my cast-iron tub and I’m glad I did. It’s held up it looks great it’s been four years now. I really really like the color of the walls in the bathroom tile also!😁

Good job, love, love , love the bathroom

Great job. Looks fabulous 👍🏼 and yes keeping the tub was a good move. Hate acrylic tubs!

I love the tub, good choice in deciding to keep it.

The remodel looks beautiful!

I'm impressed! It looks amazing! I for one know exactly what you went thru renovating your bathroom as we just finished ours about a month ago. We got three estimates from contractors and honestly we just chuckled at their estimates! So we decided to do it ourselves. Granted it took us longer to do it but we did it with better supplies and fixtures and we think it came out a lot better for a third of what the contractors wanted. Congrats on your new bathroom!

The bathroom looks Very well done.

Thank sir! I enjoy watching your video.

What you accomplished is beautiful. I've helped my husband remodel a bathroom before in a week. We didn't feel like we took a week off to have a vacation. It was a major job. I'm thankful it turned out like we wanted.

The bathroom looks fantastic! Love that tile especially with the light blue wall. I wouldn't have gotten rid of that tub either (besides cast iron tubs are not cheep). Congrats on the new baby!

Beautiful Bathroom remodel !

New subscriber. Really enjoyed video series. Keeping the tub was a good idea. Everything looks great. You're really talented. Thank you!

You did a great job! I love it!

EXCELLENT in answering all the great questions. I didn't have any, however, it was neat to hear about the ones you did get. You did a Great job! My contractor also watched your video, and he was impressed. (He is not easily impressed). He basically said, "you are a professional, who knows what he is doing."

This BR renovation is EPIC!

Good job. Thank you.

Congratulations Matt. Had no idea y'all had a child. I Pray mother and child are well and the little one is growing and happy. This is wonderful news.

Congratulations on your precious baby! My dad would of kept the tub also. He was a great handyman like you. 😊✌️

Very talented, I have enjoyed watching . I wish I was 30 years younger and doing the work that you do. You have alot of knowledge. Wish you and your family great success!!

Tub looks 👍🏼 great!

The tub looks great after it's been refinished imo. The whole bathroom looks awesome. Great job! 😊

Thanks! Got my tub answer!

The Fixer 👍 🏆 Made it to end of bathroom remodel playlist 🏆

This was awesome!! Great job!! I love the color and all!!!

You did a great job!! It looks beautiful. 👍

Thank you for answering my question about cleaning the tub! What type of acid and name? I love the tube! You did a fantastic job!

We don't grade on opinions and I hope all grade on craftsmanship and knowledge, so far the appearance looks great

I love all you do...your so knowledgeable.

This is so so pretty 😍, it’s the same size as my bathroom. Thank you for the ideas

Matt, I know hardly anything about construction, but I'm pretty sure you did that bathroom wrong. ;) (Just thought I'd pile on for fun, 'cause you love it so much.) 😂

Awesome job! Wish you lived in South Florida!

Love the color, love the tile, love the tub! (Hate plastic tubs).

You are going to get me in trouble, because I’ve been dying to remodel a third floor bathroom in my house. This makes me think that I can do it!! Looks great, and I loved the time lapse video! Subscribing now!

Congrats to you and your wife on having your first baby!! 😍

Heat vents are always by windows and outside doors because that is where your most heat loss is. You did a great job...

looks awesome! plenty of Tapcons used!!!!!!!

Hi the reason for putting heat under window is to "kill" the cold air from the window, if you fit it away from the window the convection currents set up by the heat would pull the cold air down off the window and across the floor and you would have a cold draught across your bathroom floor. loved the video. building, plumbing and electrical standards are totally different in the UK but still enjoyed watching.

Cast iron tubs retain the heat of the hot water much better and longer!

Looks great !!!

wow...amazing

Dude! I like the tub!

Yes, I watched, & yep, I enjoyed watching you go through your diligent process of remodeling your bathroom, … but I have a couple of questions, and as I am watching this vid, you just answered my question, & my 2nd question, … in your 1st 2 addresses, …. But I can give you a couple of shortcuts about your mud work, … Indeed, using the fiberglass tape is always a positive plus, … but I noticed you sanding, your 1st, & 2nd coats of mud, … being as I had gotten to the point of doing so much mud work, that I was knocking it out in 2 coats of mud, & even got to the point of getting away with even a single coat of mud, … in certain situations, … especially if it is just covering a stress crack, with a piece of the fiberglass tape, …. I would use my mud knife, to knock the edges off of the high spots, being as I used a lot of easy sand 20, … and then mix up a tray of mud, with a squirt of dish soap, … which keeps the air bubbles from making a nasty mess of my work, … so for the 1st, & 2nd coats, (if need be), I just knock down the high spots with my 12pm stainless mud knife, mix up a new tray, & put a final slurry coat of mud over the area, spreading it far enough to deceive the eyes of anyone that would put a straight edge against the wall, … and not leave excessive high, or low spots, in the surrounding areas adjacent to the patched area, … it is easier, to just add a fine layer of mud over a low spot, than it is to spend an hour, making a lot of dust, trying to sand off a high spot, … some walls, may need to be shimmed, or even have a thin, (1/4” thick sheet layered into a truly low spot, & have the edges of it filled in with mud, in order to eliminate the necessity of removing/replacing drywall, & shimming, or replacing the warped studs, or joists, … But if that is what the owner is paying for, then give them, their due, because they are the boss, (unless it goes against code, which might take a tactful conversation with the owner, before moving ahead with a project, as per their directives), … (sometimes they get it, & sometimes, they don’t, but do not, for any reason, become the fall guy, patsy, for a “catch 22”, scenario), …

Amazing!! I actually stumbled across your video by accident the time lapse reno and I watched the entire thing learned so many new tricks. Really really thankful! I logged in because I wanted to subscribe and also ask some questions. This FAQ literally answered all my questions! Except one.. amazing job I’ll certainly be looking to your channel and keeping an eye on some of the great work you’re doing. You may have answered this in one of the other videos and I do apologize I’m on my phone and on the go. But do you have the name of the colour that you used in the bathroom I really like it and would like to use it too. Thank you again for sharing

I love your bathroom its beautiful

Great job Matt. Is the kitchen next?

I know the people are saying I don't like the color of the tiles I don't like the color of the pain no you nailed it they are nice color of the towels the towels look good and the color for the bathroom walls it looks really nice you did a good job and your bathroom you make a look really good I like the way you look you made it to that bathroom look good good job 😊

Congrats on the baby and the bathroom looks great! What did you use for the floor?

Your bathroom is awesome ❤️ I need help now haha

Windows are traditionally the worst insulated surfaces in a building shell. ... In the twentieth century, to combat that cold feeling and keep the room comfortably warm, radiators were always placed under a window. The rising heat of the radiator forms a kind of hot air curtain that shields you from the cold air. Kinda makes sense really. Love the bathroom.

My re enameled tub looks great.

I have the same tub. Refinished.

How did you learn how to do this? Great job!

Love your videos! I don't have any power in my bathrooms or the 2 outside outlets. We had a major hail storm that did $44,000 damage to our house. The outside outlet by the back door had one side of the flip covers knocked off leaving the plug exposed. My late husband kept saying he would replace it but never did. Could this outlet be the problem? I've pushed all the GFI's related to the bath & outside outlets with still no power. Can you advise?

Beautiful

You are very talented! I want to send my husband over. 😂 What color and brand paint did you use. Thx!

I have that same bathtub in my house and when I remodel that bathroom I'm keeping it and getting it resurfaced.

Im late to the party, but the bathroom looks AWESOME! I have hot water baseboard heat as well and unfortunately, its along the same wall yours way. I want to move it. Did you do it yourself or did you hire a plumber/have your friend who's a plumber do it? If you did it yourself, how hard was it to do?

Do you know what your next major project will be? Also -- Congrats on parenthood to both of you ❤️🎉

First of all the bathroom is so beautiful. My bathroom is about the same size and in your option I would like to know about how much would this job cost.

Eu não entendo nada do que vc fala mas gosto de ver seus vídeos são motivacionais

My opinion : I like everything about your new bathroom..😀

Congratulation on the new baby. I think you did a great job on your bathroom. If you would like to come Philadelphia Pa to spruce my bathroom you might than welcome to take on the job...your bathroom really does look great. 🙋🏾‍♀️👍🏽🙂

Amazing work! If I find the drywall encapsulating the tub area is OK after I remove the ugly 1980's tile, could I use the roll-on waterproof membrane or should I replace it with the purple waterproof drywall regardless?

What is the type/brand of the saw that you used for most of the straight cuts through drywall and new backer boards??
