Thought I was adding a bathroom here in the basement apartment… but I was wrong 😂
After jackhammering up the concrete, I realized the “toilet drain” was actually a passive radon vent. So the plans changed.
Instead of adding a bathroom there, I pivoted and turned the space into a closet for the bedroom. That meant patching the floor, framing, drywalling, mudding, texturing, and finishing out the new closet.
This video is the full start-to-finish process of building the closet after changing plans.
Next up, I’ll post the full transformation of turning the old closet into the new bathroom.
Sometimes renovations don’t go according to plan, but you just have to adapt.
