DIY home renovation project vlogfrom @sarahellenrandall
[01]
Overview
The video begins with a couple explaining their five-year debate over installing a glass shower door versus keeping a curtain. The wife details her initial hesitation due to cleaning, while the husband expresses his desire for the glass door. They introduce the video as part of a branded series called 'Things I've been putting off.' The narrative then shifts to action as the husband removes the old shower rod. The wife shares her fears about the door making their small 28-square-foot bathroom feel cramped, but acknowledges they are committed. The video concludes with the wife expressing intimidation before actively measuring, marking, and drilling into the tile to begin the installation process.

Transcript
I've been wanting a glass shower door for five years. When we renovated this bathroom, I opted for a shower curtain because I just didn't wanna deal with cleaning glass all the tier. But Jake has continued to talk about how he wants a glass door. No we finally ordered one. I think it will be good because right now a lot of water does get out of the shower onto the floor and the walls. Welcome to season three of things I've been putting off. This is episode 11. Let's take this down. Finally. It's gone. That's so much better. One of my fears about a door is that it's going to cut this bathroom in half. As you all know, it's only 28 square best. So making it feel even smaller feels wrong. We'll see what happens. We're committed now. If you're wondering, yes, I am intimidated by this project. I'm gonna draw a line all the way up. This is a big moment. Got my mason re bit in here. Usually it does a good job.
