Knowing how to F***Up your bathroom renovation is exactly why you will succeed

Let’s be real, most of us know how to ruin things better than we know how to improve them. So if I said “ruin your bathroom renovation in the least amount of moves as possible”…. It would just be a few simple sentences…. What we love about this, is that the inverse problem theory can be applied and the outcome can be inverted to create a successful outcome, and you knew the answers all along!

1.Not Giving a Damn About Qualifying Trades:

  • How to F it up: Blindly hire trades without checking their credentials.

  • The right thing to do: Qualify those trades like your project depends on it – because it does.

2. Skipping the Quotation and Contract Hustle:

  • How to F it up: Dive in without detailed quotes or contracts and watch the chaos unfold.

  • Or, do the right thing: Get your hands on quotes and contracts like they are your bathroom renovation Bible.

3. Designing Like You Have No Taste:

  • How to F it up: Create a layout that functions like a circus and choose colours that give you a headache.

  • Or, try this: Plan a layout that doesn't suck and pick colours that don't make you want to claw your eyes out.

4. Neglecting Surface Protection:

  • How to F it up: Let your surfaces take a beating during the Reno.

  • Do this instead: Shield your surfaces and cover everything – your home deserves that level of protection.

5. Not Giving a crap About Item Inspection:

  • How to F it up: Don't bother checking your items when they roll in.

  • Or, do the right thing: Inspect your stuff like a hawk because surprises are for birthdays, not renovations.

6. Being the Silent Type with Contractors:

  • How to F it up: Keep communications with contractors to a minimum, like you all have telepathic abilities.

  • Or, try this: Talk to your crew like you are plotting world domination together – clearly, often, and without the drama.

7. Flying Blind Without Plans:

  • How to F it up: Wing it without any clear plans or guidelines.

  • Do this instead: Draft a battle plan because, believe it or not, success loves a good strategy.
