Insane Bathroom remodel- How to Build an indoor cave

What happens here

The project integrates recessed 'downlights' into the rock walls. These are 'In-lite' Fusion 22 lights, designed to be waterproof for outdoor use, making them suitable for the wet shower environment. To install them, holes are carefully drilled into the rock walls. The challenge then becomes running the necessary wiring. The video shows the DIYer 'fishing' wires through the back of the already-finished rock walls using a fish tape, connecting them to power to illuminate the walkway from below. Additional lighting for the central area is also introduced: a larger 360-degree light that matches the decking material, to be placed near a central rock formation.

Goal: Install accent lighting within the rock walls and central area.

Tools and materials

  • 360-Degree Area Light In-lite — Central lighting for the shower room
  • Cordless Drill Makita — Drilling holes for lights in the rock walls
  • Electrical Wire — Connecting the lights to power
  • Fish Tape — Pulling wires through enclosed spaces
  • In-lite Fusion 22 Lights In-lite — Recessed downlighting in the rock walls

would consider this better than tile. We've been working on this project for 2 years. Yeah, we have. We poured this concrete 2 years ago. Yeah. Then we framed it and then we did little stuff here and there and it wasn't until 2 weeks ago that we hit it again hardcore. But we were thinking tile and the more I thought tile, the less I wanted tile. The problem is as soon as you get any moisture underneath that tile, this room's going to be freezing. And that tile, if it has any moisture underneath it, when it goes through that freeze thaw cycle, it bust loose. Bust loose. So tile, forget it. This stuff perfect for it. Another thing too is this whole floor is angled down to the center of that drain. But you can actually see that this board will flex as you stand on it, which is nothing wrong with it. Nothing wrong with that. That's that's the that's the other reason why we went with this stuff. Fanboy alert. I've used this. I would never go back to a wood deck ever again. Never. after actually experiencing it, living with it, building with it, this is the stuff for an outside deck, whatever you're doing, this is the stuff. So, if you guys are thinking about using it, it's moisture shield and uh highly highly recommend it. So, just to give you guys an idea, I'll show you a corner. It's been driving Frankie nuts. This corner right here, that's not up to Frankie standards. He's been working on that corner for at least 45 minutes. This one he's okay with, but that one he's not okay with it. I I'm okay with it. He's not okay with it. And he says he does not want to be seeing that. So, get it right. Right now, what he's doing is he's scribing to go around this Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] All right, guys. Well, it's one of those dirt to dirt moments. I bought an entire box of deck lighting to install in this project. And the reason I'm installing deck lighting, this is by Inlight, is because it's waterproof. You know, it's designed to be outdoors where it can be rained on. Well, this is a shower room, so what better to use, especially in the splash zone. Except I forgot I had it. And we put all the floor down. So, now we're yanking out the floor. And what I'm doing is I've drill I'm drilling holes in the rock so that we get the down lighting in. And now I've got take my arm up into this wall and grab the tail and pull it out. Hook up the splice. And now once I get this left out, I've got to run a wire underneath the flooring so that I can get all the lights to…
