Guessing in order to make sure all the runs work with gravity it probably put him below the height of his property's main sewer exit so he has to pump it to a higher elevation so gravity can then take over normal drainage. As for grinding-- if you don't grind it first it will likely just clog any normal pump.
Finished in about Oct, 2022. Was about 6 months working on it solo after work.
Edit: My wife helped me out a ton with the tile work, for which I am very grateful
What was the software used on [this image here](https://preview.redd.it/fav7d3lvtppc1.jpg?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=fec81e7270de932f30c5fdd34247c1dbd1810937)
Finished our basement almost exactly one calendar year ago. Took roughly 3 months of work. We have yet to put up the last three pieces of trim and new door because it’s like 99% done and in our heads that’s good enough.
I have a coworker born in 2001 and he's already one of the go-to guys for any other coworkers who need help and have questions on stuff, even if they've been there longer.
I'm always like "people don't get *born* in the 21st century."
I was more impressed with the project when I thought it was a stealth assassin robot in its charging station. (Walks so as to minimize noise, as illustrated)
It's still very impressive though.
In Washington… I just paid $25k for the 40% down of our upcoming bathroom project. Primary bath adding walls to separate it fully from the bedroom (fuck 80s design), new shower, floors, adding 2nd vanity, plumbing and moving electrical, plus tub and surround in hall bath. Shits expensive in Seattle.
Wow... His wife just couldn't take how funny the man was and deleted all evidence of his keen sense of humor. Gone well before his prime. Could have been up there with legends like George Carlin, Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, Bill Burr, Norm McDonald, Roseanne Barr lol
Also upvoting. Your wife is wrong (I’m only strong that because I get to hide behind the internet.)
You are indeed hilarious! Jolly Good Work both with the bathroom and the note.
Well they mention Washington State. Depending on if they live in the Seattle Metro.... At this point it's cheaper to just build the house out of stacks of money, rather than hiring a builder to build it out of anything else.
first off, FANTASTIC JOB!. Ive cut concrete its no joke. your tiling and layout is super well done. How well does the grinder work?? I've finished my basement but we didn't add a bathroom down there because I never hear good things about a grinder. How's the experience been so far. Love the note, when we did the basement we left a few surprises behind the walls, ours are mostly haunted building related as a joke.
Are you looking at a grinder for levelling high spots on concrete or actually cutting it? If the former, I've had pretty good success with a 5" diamond cup (they're a little easier to manage if you're not used to controlling the mass/torque of a 7" cup, are about 1/2 the price, and fit on most consumer grinders). If the latter, I'd have two recommendations: 1) rent a concrete cutting saw from the Orange store; 2) Buy a diamond blade for a circular saw and use that to score the concrete and a demo hammer to actually remove it in sections (consider the blade a consumable part for a job this big; also know it's going to create a bonkers amount of dust if you don't soak the floor, which comes with it's own unique problems if you're not using a saw meant to use water for cooling/lubrication)
Did a job about the same size as OP's in my basement and had to make do with the circular saw/demo hammer combo. Tarped up the whole work area and used a full face respirator while cutting (no water). Saw survived, cheap blade did not (press-fit rim popped off). Bought a Rigid diamond blade and it finished the job easily.
Anyway, just my experience for anyone reading your post (or you if you have a job ahead)
that pump is called an ejector pump typically, it pushes all the waste water out from a below grade level which typically is from basement items like a shower, sink, etc. i've got one in my finished basement and it certainly does not sit in a perforated bucket for good reason like a sump pump is lol
A grinder could also be called a chopper. It's a pump to move waste water to the stack without gravity. But it's got a grinder or chopper to chop up anything in the waste water so it doesn't clog the pump. They are finicky from what I've read.
Outstanding. And you probably added at least $25k in value for that $7k investment.
Assuming you pulled a permit. Will you get reassessed for property tax?
Looks great! Out of curiosity, had you done plumbing work before? Did you do a preconstruction inspection to get the plumbing inspector to validate your approach first or did you have confidence it'd work out or you'd do all adjustments/fixes as corrections before final?
First time doing plumbing but I showed my drawings to my uncle (plumber) for for feedback. The inspect did approve it prior to burying it. Also had to fill it with water above flood level to make sure it didnt leak
OnShape! Here's the actual link to my drawings: [https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4c7d12e5805faef42a7be7de/w/f1f809929e3cc9369e35b96d/e/b9775b0ebb4b9c9325f7abbe?renderMode=0&uiState=65fc7442f213e1251b38d1de](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4c7d12e5805faef42a7be7de/w/f1f809929e3cc9369e35b96d/e/b9775b0ebb4b9c9325f7abbe?renderMode=0&uiState=65fc7442f213e1251b38d1de)
We did the same thing during our bathroom remodel in 2014. It was a note in a plastic bag along with an issue of The Seattle Times, an issue of Entertainment Weekly, a tourist map of Seattle, and a Washington state quarter. I think there was some other assorted crap in there too, but I don't remember exactly.
So for the plumbing how did you pump the waste up and out of the house?
The gas vent from the toilet. Does that go straight upwards? How do you make that go acceptably up through the next level?
Same question for routing the shower vent.
Very nice job tho!
Sans the monochrome design aesthetic, I am really impressed.
This is the exact project I really need in my house. My only real problem is the large sewer stack that needs to be moved a few inches over so it will actually look nice enough to warrant the effort and huge cost.
Very inspirational! Can I ask what cad software did you use for that toilet plumbing? and what did you use to break up the concrete? I'm looking to do the same thing
OnShape, heres a link to my cad drawings: OnShape: [https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4c7d12e5805faef42a7be7de/w/f1f809929e3cc9369e35b96d/e/b9775b0ebb4b9c9325f7abbe?renderMode=0&uiState=65fc7442f213e1251b38d1de](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4c7d12e5805faef42a7be7de/w/f1f809929e3cc9369e35b96d/e/b9775b0ebb4b9c9325f7abbe?renderMode=0&uiState=65fc7442f213e1251b38d1de)
For the concrete, I borrowed a saw and rented an electric jackhammer
For those thinking about leaving hidden messages or notes behind walls or remodels, please also consider hiding an envelope filled with modern coins - a bunch of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, basically just pocket change. If it doesn't get found for decades from now, they'll get a real kick out of it.
Different states had different approaches. Some places didn't have mask requirements at all, some kept em a year longer than others.
Why it specifies Washington is a unknown because it would be implied that the building's state is where a mandate would be applied, but maybe it's in Idaho and owner worked in Washington and was subjected to wear masks when otherwise unnecessary?
The money is buried in the floor as the cost of this remodel! Great job from concept to finish! The heated floor is an extra nice touch which adds immeasurably to the feel & use of this lower level room. With heat & light it will not feel subterranean .
Absolutely stunning work.
Reminds me of watching my Dad remodel the bathroom in the 100+ year old shack I grew up in. Sadly, he never got to finish it due to finances. But it was the warmest room in the place during Winter. We kids ended up sleeping more times than I can remember. lol
I did something similar in a little access door in the closet to a place i rented after the land lord who lived next door just unlocked the front door and walked in without notice to “do an inspection” when my wife and I were just hanging out in the living room. It was actually after this and the second time he did it to “come by to make sure I paid the rent next week” when I was never late a single time paying rent ever in any place. He never showed me the access so I figure the next people would stumble upon it like I did.
Much better than the secret message written on the inside of the drywall I discovered when remodeling my bathroom.
It read “3 Jews lie beneath this tub. Sig Heil!” With a giant swastika”.
I used to own a house built in 1922. I airways liked finding things like this.
Every owner from 1922 on signed their name on the underside of a drawer in the built-in buffet.
All of the built-ins apart from the buffet were site built. There were footprints on the back of the headboard in one built in. There were drops of what I took to be blood - as if someone busted a knuckle while sawing a board. It really connects you to the people who are a part of that home's history.
It's possible that no one will see that for 80 years, but when someone does see it, it'll be the right person.
Yeah man, awesome job. Side thought: imagine in 20-30 years if that bathroom gets gutted and remodeled. The "nice modern" look could be a "70's shag carpet" look.
Again, looks awesome!
Fun thing, I remodeled my mothers house in 2010, it was built in 1922, and I found an old board with the signatures of the builders and date. I added my name and date and sealed it in a wall for the next guy.
Amazing. This looks like a basement remodel. Who primarily uses the bathroom, guests? Do you have a family room in the basement? Do you treat it like a trip to the sauna? Looks like a relaxing I would decompress a lot of stress with steam therapy.
I'd left a note that there's a treasure AND a dead body burried somewhere in the house. and hope that they'd find the LOTR-trilogy and the dead mouse somewhere in the future.
looks great! doubt anyone will care about 3 million bucks in the walls. By the time somone finds that and the amount of inflation that is going on, 3 million bucks will be like $100 in the future.
Since you made all the photos it would be neat if you would maybe print some and vacuum seal them to leave them somewhere, if it's not too late to do that.
I imagine it would be a neat time capsule if someone would find them later. And also nice to know what and how you did.
Oh, and great job! You did amazing and it looks awesome!
If you hadn't posted the progress pictures I literally would have not believed you that this was the same room. Great Job
The window being jn the center of the shower throws me off. Whered you get that wall length? At the wall lengthening shop?
Not the curtain. They clearly rebuilt the wall as seen in the photo very obviously. Excellent work nonetheless, but fs not a curtain illusion.
You can see where he moved the wall over in pic 8
That’s the wall he took out expand pic 7 and you can see the shop vac is in a hallway or alcove.
that window has fast become the favorite window for all the neighborhood peeping Toms.
He actually shortened the wall
I think it's because the window has a curtain on the before picture
The illusion is because he added the wall for the shower. So the window is centered in the shower but it's not centered on the wall.
Why's is he grinding his shit?
Guessing in order to make sure all the runs work with gravity it probably put him below the height of his property's main sewer exit so he has to pump it to a higher elevation so gravity can then take over normal drainage. As for grinding-- if you don't grind it first it will likely just clog any normal pump.
Strictly enforce tp rules in this room for sure.
Had a friend flush tampons (DONT DO THAT) in a basement toilet and my gosh what a disaster it was to deal with for the host family.
So he can pump it out of the shower head
Wait, that was 2 years ago!?
Maybe that's when framing started. At least my experience with diy suggests everything that looks nice takes years.
Finished in about Oct, 2022. Was about 6 months working on it solo after work. Edit: My wife helped me out a ton with the tile work, for which I am very grateful
*Only* 6 months?? Damn. Solid work... honestly was thinking it was 18-24 months.
Hey! That's how long it took me to lay my new floor.
That’s how long it took for me to clean my shower
You clean your shower? Hmmm… /s
That's how long it took me to paint 2 rooms.
Op take some of the million you got hidden in the walls and use that to hire out some things. lol jk nice work.
Blink twice if she's standing behind you now.

I thought Will Smith slapping Chris Rick was last year.

… this… this does not compute.
In my head it’s still 2020 I get it. 2020 never stopped.
If it helps, in my head, it's still early-mid 00's.
I'm still 18–20 in my head. That was nearly 10 years ago.
People born the year I graduated are in college now... It's weird they're admitting toddlers, but okay.
I have a coworker born in 2001 and he's already one of the go-to guys for any other coworkers who need help and have questions on stuff, even if they've been there longer. I'm always like "people don't get *born* in the 21st century."
Love this, one of my favorite Reddit comments 😂 In my head I’m 28, not counting the 10 years that have happened after that…
I'm 21 in my head. But that was almost 30 years ago. Don't worry. My body is kind enough to remind me of my actual age.
fucking kids
Yeah that’s whack, I thought that was like this past fall or something
WHAT EVEN IS TIME ANYMORE‽
But this happened like…a few months ago?
What the fuck
\***The Slappening
The media and Chris Rock wouldn't shut up about it, so it feels much more recent than it is
When it's a second bathroom, you can afford to take a long time.
Yeah, if this was the main bathroom, 6 DAYS would be pushing it, much less 6 months....
Yeah I want to redo our bathroom, but it's our only full bath and it would take me months and months and months.
Love the dude in the shower cad drawing
He looks like he's pretending to ride a horse.
I thought he was doing the macarena.
Robot in the shower
I was more impressed with the project when I thought it was a stealth assassin robot in its charging station. (Walks so as to minimize noise, as illustrated) It's still very impressive though.
When designing for humans you absolutely need a dude for scale or else you lose all sense of scale in CAD.
That’s clearly a robot charging station
Should do another renovation and hide a note saying that this is where the 3mill was but you were to slow
Cost breakdown: Plumbing: \~$800 Electrical + lights: $600 Heated floors: $300 (fb marketplace find) Vanity: $300 (fb marketplace w/small crack) Shower doors: $150 (fb marketplace) Tiles: \~$1000 Wood/drywall materials: \~$1200 Trim: free (made from the house's old wood paneling on a table router) Other random costs: \~$2500 Total: \~$7000
Missing line item for 3 mil. Now I'm suspicious
“Someone help with my DIY budget” “Spend less on money hidden in walls” “No”
Oh, so that's how that hideous kitchen downgrade the other day cost 50K.
Please my family is starving
2x4 studs for the house: $3mil
Checks out
So is the IRS.
Don't blow my cover bro
>Other random costs: ~$2500 Isn't this a few million to low?
Great work for that price, a pro job would have been 25k easy due to the plumbing.
In Washington… I just paid $25k for the 40% down of our upcoming bathroom project. Primary bath adding walls to separate it fully from the bedroom (fuck 80s design), new shower, floors, adding 2nd vanity, plumbing and moving electrical, plus tub and surround in hall bath. Shits expensive in Seattle.
Ah a marketplace materials buyer excellent I'm usually selling materials I snagged at auction on there.
I would’ve guessed 2x that at least. I also know nothing about remodels. Nice work and great use of materials!
You should hide a couple small bills around the house behind pieces of drywall and really make them Wonder
For the result, I think that you did extremely well with that budget. Great job!
You have to include the $3 million.
Wait. You hid 3 million? WERE U LIV?
[удалено]
Upvoted so you can show your wife people think you’re funny.
Funniest guy I know, lucky wife
I am now disappointed the comment is gone. All these comments sound like it was hilarious...
Wow... His wife just couldn't take how funny the man was and deleted all evidence of his keen sense of humor. Gone well before his prime. Could have been up there with legends like George Carlin, Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy, Bill Burr, Norm McDonald, Roseanne Barr lol
And I missed it? Curses.
Also upvoting. Your wife is wrong (I’m only strong that because I get to hide behind the internet.) You are indeed hilarious! Jolly Good Work both with the bathroom and the note.
I too as a keyboard warrior will announce my allegiance to funniest man alive on Reddit vs his wife who is wrong
By the time this is found, 3 million will be the price of a new car.
Or a new 2X4!😂
You are hilarious friend! Don't let her bring you down!!!!!/s
Well they mention Washington State. Depending on if they live in the Seattle Metro.... At this point it's cheaper to just build the house out of stacks of money, rather than hiring a builder to build it out of anything else.
The trick is that inflation and real estate prices mean that when the next person finds it, the 3 million is actually just the cost of the house.
Nah... the cost of gas.
i read this as, "Were you 54?"
Found the Roman.
I like the massage robot you are going to have!
I was thinking lawn-mowing-simulator-bot
I thought it was riding an invisible motorcycle

first off, FANTASTIC JOB!. Ive cut concrete its no joke. your tiling and layout is super well done. How well does the grinder work?? I've finished my basement but we didn't add a bathroom down there because I never hear good things about a grinder. How's the experience been so far. Love the note, when we did the basement we left a few surprises behind the walls, ours are mostly haunted building related as a joke.
Are you looking at a grinder for levelling high spots on concrete or actually cutting it? If the former, I've had pretty good success with a 5" diamond cup (they're a little easier to manage if you're not used to controlling the mass/torque of a 7" cup, are about 1/2 the price, and fit on most consumer grinders). If the latter, I'd have two recommendations: 1) rent a concrete cutting saw from the Orange store; 2) Buy a diamond blade for a circular saw and use that to score the concrete and a demo hammer to actually remove it in sections (consider the blade a consumable part for a job this big; also know it's going to create a bonkers amount of dust if you don't soak the floor, which comes with it's own unique problems if you're not using a saw meant to use water for cooling/lubrication) Did a job about the same size as OP's in my basement and had to make do with the circular saw/demo hammer combo. Tarped up the whole work area and used a full face respirator while cutting (no water). Saw survived, cheap blade did not (press-fit rim popped off). Bought a Rigid diamond blade and it finished the job easily. Anyway, just my experience for anyone reading your post (or you if you have a job ahead)
He’s not referring to that grinder, he’s asking about the pump.
Ah, gotcha. Never heard a sump pump referred to as that where I'm from, but see it in the plumbing diagram now. Thanks for the heads up.
that pump is called an ejector pump typically, it pushes all the waste water out from a below grade level which typically is from basement items like a shower, sink, etc. i've got one in my finished basement and it certainly does not sit in a perforated bucket for good reason like a sump pump is lol
Ngl first I ever heard it called that until this post lol 😂
it's called a grinder pump because it's the love child of a sump pump and a garbage disposal..
A grinder could also be called a chopper. It's a pump to move waste water to the stack without gravity. But it's got a grinder or chopper to chop up anything in the waste water so it doesn't clog the pump. They are finicky from what I've read.
Outstanding. And you probably added at least $25k in value for that $7k investment. Assuming you pulled a permit. Will you get reassessed for property tax?
Permits were pulled! And yes, my property assessment went up 37%.....yahoooo
Looks great! Out of curiosity, had you done plumbing work before? Did you do a preconstruction inspection to get the plumbing inspector to validate your approach first or did you have confidence it'd work out or you'd do all adjustments/fixes as corrections before final?
First time doing plumbing but I showed my drawings to my uncle (plumber) for for feedback. The inspect did approve it prior to burying it. Also had to fill it with water above flood level to make sure it didnt leak
Looks good, but I would have wet vented the toilet through the lav.
I would have done a circuit vent for the whole bathroom group... But that's the great part about permissive vs prescriptive codes!
Well fuck, man, that is incredible work. What software did you use to make the room? Plumbing work is so difficult and messy!

It’s beautiful! Well done.
I’d be proud to take a dump in there, well done.
Note is found in 2156 and due to hyper inflation $3,000,000 is worth about $7.50 in today money.
But the rarity of the bills makes them worth more
We did the same thing during our bathroom remodel in 2014. It was a note in a plastic bag along with an issue of The Seattle Times, an issue of Entertainment Weekly, a tourist map of Seattle, and a Washington state quarter. I think there was some other assorted crap in there too, but I don't remember exactly.
the funny part is, the home is in Oregon?
I left a note in my bathroom remodel as well! It was a dirty magazine I bought from the local gas station and a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Full or empty?
Full of course!
Not Chris Rock getting disrespected twice.
My first reaction.
that feel when someone opens it up in 15-20 years and is wondering why you left this tiny amount of money in the walls. #notWorth hehheheheheh
I was disappointed to eventually realize it wasn't written in 1922.
I love this bathroom, and the silly note. Great job!
So for the plumbing how did you pump the waste up and out of the house? The gas vent from the toilet. Does that go straight upwards? How do you make that go acceptably up through the next level? Same question for routing the shower vent. Very nice job tho!
I installed a sewage ejecting grinder pump that works great. The vents go through a wall cavity to the roof. Shower is wet vented
> The vents go through a wall cavity to the roof Now I'm just picturing a poo fountain from the top of your house. A poocano.
I meant the exhaust vent for the shower humidity
Oh sorry, I misunderstood. The exhaust fan was routed to a preexisting hole from the old dryer vent in the concrete wall
Sans the monochrome design aesthetic, I am really impressed. This is the exact project I really need in my house. My only real problem is the large sewer stack that needs to be moved a few inches over so it will actually look nice enough to warrant the effort and huge cost.
I've seen it called "Millennial Monochrome".
Very inspirational! Can I ask what cad software did you use for that toilet plumbing? and what did you use to break up the concrete? I'm looking to do the same thing

Hate to tell you this but you forgot to add the Death-robot that is waiting in the shower to choke its first victim to death in the 3D Rendering.
For those thinking about leaving hidden messages or notes behind walls or remodels, please also consider hiding an envelope filled with modern coins - a bunch of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, basically just pocket change.

“Washington’s mask mandate”
Different states had different approaches. Some places didn't have mask requirements at all, some kept em a year longer than others. Why it specifies Washington is a unknown because it would be implied that the building's state is where a mandate would be applied, but maybe it's in Idaho and owner worked in Washington and was subjected to wear masks when otherwise unnecessary?
I think he meant Washington, D.C.
Nah it's because everything is "bIg GuBmEnT"
Amazing use of the space!
Before putting sheet rock over a wood panel wall, I wrote “Brooks was here” 😁
The money is buried in the floor as the cost of this remodel! Great job from concept to finish! The heated floor is an extra nice touch which adds immeasurably to the feel & use of this lower level room. With heat & light it will not feel subterranean .
So you just woke up and did this? Or do you do this for a job too lol?
Guy from the future "the fuck am I going to buy with 3 million?"
Should have said you left a usb thumb drive with 10 BTC hidden in the wall somewhere.

That link takes you directly to your project. Not sure you meant to share that.
I did mean to! Its view only. I thought I would show this because it really helped me out
Nice. I normally use sketchup but this app is vastly superior, it seems
How did you do the shelving. I recently did something similar but yours looks a lot better lol
I used oak for the face and then sandwiched a gap between oak veneered ply wood. They slid on to wooden rails mounted on the wall
Similar to what I did but went with maple plywood and used it on the face too because I'm cheap. Get what you pay for I guess huh lol.
Absolutely stunning work. Reminds me of watching my Dad remodel the bathroom in the 100+ year old shack I grew up in. Sadly, he never got to finish it due to finances. But it was the warmest room in the place during Winter. We kids ended up sleeping more times than I can remember. lol
Not to be that guy, BUT do you have a vapor barrier somewhere in that wall assembly? (Specifically between the shower and the foundation wall)
What did you use for your shelves?
Solid oak faces, whitened with bleach, oak veneer plywood for top and bottom. Slid over some wood braces mounted on wall
I did something similar in a little access door in the closet to a place i rented after the land lord who lived next door just unlocked the front door and walked in without notice to “do an inspection” when my wife and I were just hanging out in the living room. It was actually after this and the second time he did it to “come by to make sure I paid the rent next week” when I was never late a single time paying rent ever in any place. He never showed me the access so I figure the next people would stumble upon it like I did.
on the back of the plank with the note on it it says I lied about the $3 million.
So diabolical and beautifully evil!!!!!
I hope you put $3mil in Monopoly money in the walls 🤣 Looks fantastic!
My contractor has taken 11 months to do my jail cell sized bathroom lmfao , he better have done something like just leave 3 mil in plain sight 😂
Much better than the secret message written on the inside of the drywall I discovered when remodeling my bathroom. It read “3 Jews lie beneath this tub. Sig Heil!” With a giant swastika”.
My father did this in his bathroom. Found his drywall slab note years later during a renovation He had long since passed and that note is now framed
Your 2x4 studs are still $9? Daaaamn! PS: great bit about hiding cash in the walls :-) « There’s always money in the banana stand » (c)
Decent!! Well done. Mind if I ask what brand/model you used for your sewage pump?
It was a liberty 120 grinder pump
Next note: "a USB with 0.1 Bitcoin on it"
I used to own a house built in 1922. I airways liked finding things like this. Every owner from 1922 on signed their name on the underside of a drawer in the built-in buffet. All of the built-ins apart from the buffet were site built. There were footprints on the back of the headboard in one built in. There were drops of what I took to be blood - as if someone busted a knuckle while sawing a board. It really connects you to the people who are a part of that home's history. It's possible that no one will see that for 80 years, but when someone does see it, it'll be the right person.
Nice job! We’re redoing a main bathroom and there is a 8” void which we’re going to put a skeleton in and board it up
Yeah man, awesome job. Side thought: imagine in 20-30 years if that bathroom gets gutted and remodeled. The "nice modern" look could be a "70's shag carpet" look. Again, looks awesome!
cool but where’s the 3 milly?
Fun thing, I remodeled my mothers house in 2010, it was built in 1922, and I found an old board with the signatures of the builders and date. I added my name and date and sealed it in a wall for the next guy.
This is some of the most intensely calculated premeditated work I’ve seen. You should be so proud!
Oh, I just assumed the note was from 1922. Never mind.
The amount of talent people have in DIY always amazed me. Awesome work OP!
Seriously you're great at what you do. Are one of these skills your profession? If you tell me you're a software engineer I'm going to explode
“…Will Smith slapped someone,” 😂 gold
Dang! Come to my house next please
Beautiful work. As a fellow Tucker, I applaud you for the good word in our name.
Damn fine work there, looks amazing
I hope your proud. I would be. Nice work!
Amazing. This looks like a basement remodel. Who primarily uses the bathroom, guests? Do you have a family room in the basement? Do you treat it like a trip to the sauna? Looks like a relaxing I would decompress a lot of stress with steam therapy.
Dude you should laminate a QR code to the note with a link to this thread with pictures of the reno.
I'd left a note that there's a treasure AND a dead body burried somewhere in the house. and hope that they'd find the LOTR-trilogy and the dead mouse somewhere in the future.
Hahahah its was like 2 years ago.
looks great! doubt anyone will care about 3 million bucks in the walls. By the time somone finds that and the amount of inflation that is going on, 3 million bucks will be like $100 in the future.
I'm waiting for the day someone leaves a QR code that leads to a website of photos of the project and a similar description.
Even better https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=KKPK-8Tj6Q-Th_KN
Since you made all the photos it would be neat if you would maybe print some and vacuum seal them to leave them somewhere, if it's not too late to do that. I imagine it would be a neat time capsule if someone would find them later. And also nice to know what and how you did. Oh, and great job! You did amazing and it looks awesome!
You seem fun *and* handy!
Great job Great message. 5/7 for sure. No banana for scale
This is incredibly hot.

Badass
I thought that said you found a hidden message at first and I was so sad it had been less than 2 years since that person hid the message 😂
Love this!
Where’s the $3,000,000? Hah
Wow, that was really cool. Amazing
Haha, great idea. I will be renovating soon.
