    Drywall Repairs in the Small Master Bathroom Makeover

    January 17, 2018 by Ashley Mayes 27 Comments

    It's officially Week 3 of the $100 Challenge. This week it's all about the Drywall Repairs in the Small Master Bathroom Makeover. I promise that I did more than drywall repairs, but drywalling does take lots of time. Be prepared to see a bit more demo, drywall and more in the video this week!

    Play catch-up if you missed Week 1 or Week 2.

    I'm sure the neighbors behind us have been loving our window treatments. They SHOULD love us though because if that wasn't up there, they'd be seeing more of us than they would wish to see. LOL.

    As you can tell from these pictures, drywall has been put up!

    Week 3 of the $100 Bathroom Makeover

    Watch how the week went down:

    If you loved the video, I'd absolutely love it if you'd subscribe to my YouTube Channel.

    So, lots accomplished, don't you think? The drywall process takes a few days so there was quite a bit of waiting for dry times, but still... I think we accomplished a lot!

    Alright, let's talk about the budget.

    My Budget is $100 

    So far, I've spent:

    • Light Parts $30.33
    • Drywall Supplies $22.43
    • Bathroom Shower Rod, Rings and Liner $29.76
    • Extra Drywall Supplies $9.78
    • Light Box $3.38
    • Thrifted Shower Curtain $3.99
    • Bath Rug $16.49

    = $116.16

    So, yep... I'm OVER-Budget. I had to buy extra drywall supplies and I thought that my original light would have the wiring ran through a light box, but no! So, we are doing everything the right way and spending extra to get things up to code. BUT, I don't expect to spend a single cent more.

    I have to say that I'm totally disappointed in coming in over-budget. I really thought I'd be able to do this makeover on $100. Whomp, whomp.

    My goal though is to not spend a single penny more! Hold me to it, will you?!

    Ok, ready to be inspired by all the other challenge participants?

      well in theory you were under budget last time, so maybe you can carry that money over! 🙂 The removal of the brass shower glass made a huge difference, it looks like a new shower!

      Wow, it really is looking so much fresher already. I would not have thought about taking off the door which now I can see is going to look great!

      I'm see you removed the glass surround! It's going to look amazing! So much smarter to do things the right way.

      I think I'm going over budget and I didn't even need to do any major work...$100 is so teeny!! Just wanted you to know you aren't alone.

        It is teeny tiny! Well, glad to hear that I'm not alone but hope we can end up close to the $100!

      What a difference removing the glass door make! I think it's always a good idea to spend a little extra to do things the correct way, instead of cutting corners.

      No worries on going a little over budget. It happens, especially when you run into problems! It is still a really great budget for a makeover!

      I loved the video! I am also very impressed at your drywall skills. I don't think I could ever get it smooth. It's definitely not my superpower! Great job!

      Such a huge difference from just taking off the shower doors! I think that"s totally ok you were a little over budget. $100 isn't much at all. Bathrooms are a lot of work! I just finished doing a whole bathroom renovation including all new dry wall, vanity, tub,faucets, toilet and tile for under $1000! Im thinking if you don't do dry wall up to the shower doors you could put a tile boarder. Maybe any left over tile from the kitchen renovation? Just a thought, lol.

      Aren't husbands the best?! I am LOVING your progress reports via video. So fun to watch the progress in action. And a $116 room challenge is still pretty incredible!

      You did GREAT this week! I'm inspired by the removal of your shower surround - I have a nasty door on my shower as well and I'm dying to take it off. The result can't be any worse than the door being on there! lol

      I think it's always worth it to spend a little extra to make things right. I hate going over budget too, but you won't have any regrets!

      I don’t see the paint costs in your budget? Even if you already owned it, shouldn’t it be added to the costs? It’s really tough to do much with only $100 these days. Looking good!
