What happens here

Begin by removing all existing fixtures from the bathroom. This includes shutting off the main water line and electrical power. Disconnect and remove the old faucets and sinks. Use a utility knife to score around the countertop, then use a pry bar to carefully remove the countertop and vanity. After the vanity is removed, detach and remove the mirror and the light fixture above it. Ensure all screws are detached from wall studs before prying off any components. Have a shop vac and rags ready for any residual water or debris.

Goal: Clear the bathroom for renovation

let's get into the video let's go when it comes to demo work every job is completely different but I stick to the same rules that I like to follow so some of those things to minimize the headaches our cover the floors from getting damaged turn the electrical power breaker off be mine for all the wall stats are so if you need to pry something off ensure that all the screws are detached from that wall stud and then if you need to pull something off use a putty knife with a pry bar to gently remove it from that section of the wall have a shopback next to you that way you can kind of clean up as you're going so you're not working with this huge mess and when you're doing plumbing be sure to turn off the main water line and have plenty of rags nearby to catch all the residual water that's still left on the water lines when disconnecting
