Build Your Own Bathroom – Beginner Friendly Course

Josh (The Excellent Laborer)

I created this course to give you the confidence and skills to build your own tile shower — even if you're just getting started. After 15+ years working in the trades and building my own houses from the ground up, I launched my YouTube channel The Excellent Laborer to share real, no-nonsense DIY knowledge for everyday people. I’ve done every part of the homebuilding process with my own hands — plumbing, wiring, framing, tiling, finishing — and I know how overwhelming it can be if you’ve never done it before. I also know the exact methods that work, the steps that actually matter, and how to avoid costly mistakes. I faced the same questions and challenges when I started. I had to learn through trial, error, and a whole lot of determination. This course is a refined version of that journey — step-by-step, beginner-friendly, and packed with value. Whether you're renovating a bathroom, flipping a house, or tackling your first tile job, you'll walk away with the clarity and confidence to get it done right. My goal is to make quality home improvement education accessible and actionable. I’m here to help you build something you can be proud of — and save thousands in the process. Let’s get to work!
