We've never loved this bathroom — and honestly, it never gave us much reason to. But once water started leaking through the shower walls, our “someday” remodel turned into a right now kind of situation (minus the months it took us to mentally prepare).
Built about 30 years ago, this space came with some… unique choices, including a drywall shower curb and questionable (read: non-existent) waterproofing to name a few (I’m looking at you, Ken 👀.)
In this first episode of our DIY bathroom remodel, we’re tearing it all out! From removing old tiles and some walls to discovering just how stubborn a shower floor can be. We also test out a few new Grampa tools along the way!
So, if you’re planning your own reno or just love seeing walls get smashed, you’re in the right place. This is just the beginning of transforming our leaky, not-so-loved basement bathroom into something a whole lot better.

About My Grandfather’s Axe:
My Grandfather’s Axe (MGA for short) follows my beginner woodworking journey learning the craft from my late grandfather’s tools. It’s about inheriting his carpentry knowledge by building with his very tools, all while adding my own unique mark. This channel is built on authenticity, highlighting the real mistakes and frustrations of the learning process instead of hiding them. From home renovations, to carpentry, to fine woodworking, join the genuine (often chaotic) journey of a beginner learning the trade!
What is an axe-hole?:
An "axe-hole" comes from one of my grandpa’s favorite sayings: “Any Axe-Hole Can Buy A New One” (AACBANO). This phrase has been passed down in my family for generations and it represents a belief in self-sufficiency, resourcefulness, and taking action.
My grandpa’s version of the saying wasn’t quite so PG (let’s just say his wording was a little more colorful), but the meaning remains the same: in a world full of disposable, mass-produced items often designed to fail, why not fix or build it yourself? Someone out there knows how — why can’t that someone be you?
So when I say, "don't be an axe-hole," I mean — don’t be the person who mindlessly buys cheap, throwaway junk. Instead, learn to build things that last and fix or reuse what you already have.
