My Bus Bathroom Was Completely Wrong… So I Started Ripping It Out

There’s a point where you have to admit something isn’t working.

This was that point.


🎥 Prefer to watch instead?


It Looked Fine… But It Wasn’t

On the surface, the bathroom seemed okay.

But actually using it?
👉 Completely different story

It was:

  • Awkward
  • Impractical
  • Slightly frustrating every single time

The Decision

I had two options:

  1. Keep living with it
  2. Start again

I think you know which one I chose 😅


The First Rip-Out

There’s something slightly terrifying about that first moment.

When you:

  • Remove the first panel
  • Undo the first fix
  • Commit to the process

Because after that…
👉 there’s no going back

Why It Had to Go

Because function matters more than anything in a small space.

If something:

  • Doesn’t work properly
  • Makes daily life harder

👉 It’s worth fixing properly


The Start of Something Better

This wasn’t just demolition.

It was:

  • A reset
  • A chance to do it properly
  • The beginning of something that actually works
