Medicine Cabinet Disappearing Act

Your first time over his/her place (or for you adventurous ones, first time over on the first date), you love to take a peek into their medicine cabinet.

What kind of secrets will you find? What God awful disease/virus do/did they have and want to contract onto you? What are they NOT telling you that the cabinet of truth will surely unveil?

Well if you come over to our house, good luck finding out our secrets! I decided to take the "fun" out of snooping through our bathroom.

Taking out the medicine cabinet was not the hard part. A few screws and the cabinet comes right out.
Took This After I Already Removed The Mirror
Next, I had to measure out the hole in the wall and cut the appropriate sized drywall piece out.

Where I Like To Keep My Hard Earned Money
Then to ensure the drywall doesn't fall into the hole, I took a 1X2 and screwed it into the base, and a few inches above the top of the hole. When I put the drywall on, I screwed another drywall screw into the middle of the drywall piece.

In Retrospect, I Would Have Cleaned The Edges More
Once secured, I followed it up with a Sh*t ton of spackle. I had to fill in the holes, make it flat and level, and follow it up with more spackle after it dried.

One of Three (3) Applications
All-in-all, I would have sanded down the spackle one more time, and done one more layer before applying the primer.

Final Product But Could Have Done Better
Now the only thing left to do in the master bath is to redo toilet and tiles (Crown molding, lights, paint, medicine cabinet, shower, and mirror frame done).
