Remove Cement Board and Drywall

[Music] The time has come for the part that I'm actually kind of nervous about. Not nervous because something's gonna go wrong, but nervous because it's gonna be kind of a a pain in the butt. So, we have to take the old uh cement board off. The way cement board's usually installed is you have your subflooring. That's your giant OSB. And on top of they'll put thin set. Um, again, I did this so I know how it goes. And then on top of that, the you're gluing cement board, which is usually like 3/8 to 1/2 in, whatever you want to work with. And then you screw that in on top. And then after that, you put more thin set and put tile. So I have to get rid of this thing. I my best option that I think I'm going to try for executing, I'm going to take a hammer. I'm going to take my stiff uh uh uh putty knife here. Uh and I'm going to take my pry bar and I'm going to try finding a corner, create a little leverage. As soon as I feel a little bit of wiggle room, I'm going to take the shovel. Yeah, shovel. And I'm going to shove it in there and I'm going to try to kind of slowly pry it off as big chunks as I can. Uh fortunately, cement board is kind of reinforced with like a a fibrous material, so it shouldn't all break apart. It should hold together a little bit, but we have to be very gentle with it. That way, we don't take apart small chunks, but get as much as we can at the same time. So, how about we use a shovel before run out? Now, that's just called being resourceful. All right, good news. The floor is nice and clean. Uh, actually pretty happy how that happened. Uh, sometimes the sar just line up. Now, let's talk about the rest of the demo day is the wall. Now, because we want obviously the mirror is going to be down middle center. The cabinet is going to be long. The only thing is important is studs, which we don't need it for that right now. But the plumbing, because the plumbing is going to come out out of the wall here, we need to move it from the ground to there. So essentially, this much down, we're going to have to remove it, right? We're going to have to close it up and reroute that up. So in the in the wildest ways, by taking more drywall off, it's going to be easier to patch it up because then I can just put two pieces in and cover it up, if not even one. So I'm probably going to I'm probably going to just freak it, man. Just cut it here. I'm going to take out the whole wall. All right, let's just do it. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
