    How much does a whole bathroom like this cost may I ask???
  • @bere4202
    I love seeing people who are good and proud of their craft. I could watch for hours 😅
  • What I learned from your video is that it's probably best to hire a professional. I'm pretty sure I could do this myself, but it would take me MONTHS!. I really enjoyed watching your processes, and now know why you get $4500 a week for labor. Good Job!! ...I"m sure this home owner was extremely happy.
  • @jasonlee9876
    The longer the video the better!! I can watch this all day :):) Great job!!
  • @k00k
    You're so lucky to have a guy that enjoys mudding and is good at it!
  • @mikezachan7117
    Awesome video. I watched the whole thing. Probly the longest video I’ve ever watched on YouTube. Good job guys.
  • @jsides1006
    You both do excellent work. Very high quality. I love that you talk over the video instead of talking while filming.
  • @aod_fan
    Thanks for the all the tips, tricks, and advice. Further breaking down the cost of what I know I would not need in my bathroom reno and just the basics to start off with helps with a budget in mind and then add in the others as I am designing/shopping.
  • "For those of you that can read..." hahaha - this project is really nice. Well done.

    First time viewer. I'm disabled, but in the process of remodeling what I can do.. I have been taking out the drywall in bathroom. This video comes up and it really really helps. I don't have the money to hire people like that, but I try to get volunteered help from some experienced friends.. I love how you are explaining everything. I have subscribed and I'm ready to watch your other videos.
  • @notablonde1
    Wonderful work Liam and Sebastian. You've come full circle and are now a true teacher, also!
  • @FrustratedBaboon
    Best video on YouTube hands down, I don't think anyone can top the amount of detail you gave to make this come to life.
  • @AK-kn9lq
    Liam I love your long format videos, thank you so much for providing us with these!!!!!!
  • its truly crazy to see how Canadian and American houses are made out of carboard and wood. Fascinating.
  • @BuddyJackstraw
    Im only about a third way through the video but knew as soon as i saw the floor protection down you guys were going to be good craftsmen. Very well covered, prideful work. Keep on truck'n!
  • @blakewhite3131
    I was just trying to get an idea of where to start (there's no easy answer to that for a beginner i dont think) and i just sat and watched this entire two hour video. I have ADHD, and I consistently cannot make it through informational videos due to boredom, but you explain things in a very digestible way. Its this perfect middle of casually using trade terms but then explaining them to the layman, not over nor under explaining what you are doing. This really helped me get a grasp on the different facets of what goes into a bathroom remodel, im sure I'll look at more of your videos for help in the future. Thank you for sharing!
  • @pd7304
    Liam, I’m about to move into my first home and need to undertake 2 bathroom renos. Your videos are so insightful and helpful. By sharing, you’re really making a difference in the quality of peoples lives. Thank you.
  • @adolfoman
    Watched the entire video! Great work, Liam. Love your explanations and thoroughness in your execution. Always learning something from your videos. Congrats!
