Thank You!!!

Thank you! The Red Dot location was what i needed!

Thanks for the explanation. I just moved into an apartment that has the same set up. I’ve asked the landlady repeatedly to fix it so I decided to fix it myself. It took less time fixing it and then finding the parts. I appreciate this video and your explanation. Thank you.

I have the mixet handle from 1968 way too difficult to adjust, i seen some really nice looking handles online, does anyone know what other brands can work with the mixet valves?

Hack!

Grease it before putting in

Is it a sealant too?

Thank you!

You can not tile over drywall use backer board or that's going to be a mess in a couple of years.

Just butt the new pieces of drywall up against the flinge and then fill the gap with drywall mud let the mud dry overnight then mud again let dry sand smooth then paint the walls then chaulk around the shower let dry then touch up around the shower with paint.

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for that. This was very informative!!! Good luck to you!!

My guy did the whole thing with one hand. My confidence skyrocketed when I saw the same husky channel locks that I have and gerber multi tool that I carry everyday. lol. Thx for posting this…8 years ago!

I paid the price of not turning off the water and it was like Noah’s flood within minutes.

Why not a Sawzall in the corners?

could you please put the part number for the handle i couldn’t find handle that fit

Help my first Phillips screw is stripped and I can’t even remove the turning knob to get started, how do I get the stripped screw off? I noticed your knob was cracked in half would I have to resort to breaking it? To bypass the stripped screw? I have a mixet shower handle just like this one! Thanks

Wrong

I hate this I had 1 replayed I payed a plumber a licensed one and it broke fast same day after 1 or 2 use so he came back replace it for I think a 2 or 3rd time before it work fine now and we recently had another 1 replaced upstairs and u guessed it we need to replace it after 0 use this time it just started to running and leak agian so re need it replace agian thay crap I was told thay use to make them in metal but now only plastic

When it is installed, should I be able to adjust the temperature without adjusting the volume without holding the volume knob in place? Should they work independently? Thanks.

thank you so much!!!

Also that is a rasp….

If you drop the red dot down how can you attaché the temperature level in the top position? My shower temp is setup the opposite and I want to turn it 180*, but then wouldn’t I attached the handle on the bottom? The other issue I have is when I turn the main back on, it’s harder to rotate the the temp handle.

the red dot goes to the bottom so temperature would be right

Can you remove tile then fill in the thinset so it is level then floating floor or other tile?

Where is the water barrier? And, you need to cover those areas that are missing the sheet rock paper or it’s going to bubble, quickly. Is this guy a pro ????

I noticed very little thin set on the back of the tile, that is why they came up so easy. I just did a removal of tile from a kitchen and dining room a couple of weeks ago and we rented the same tool with the sharper blade and the mortar (thin set) we removed did not come off that easy. Your stuff is coming off very easy which probably means there was not a good bond in the first place.

I have the same project on my horizon. Replacing my tub old steel tub with a shower base. Thanks for giving me some ideas.

This little kzbin.infoUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.

Good lord what a hack job this is.....drywall is cheap cut it back further and avoid all those ridiculous small pieces

Thank you! Neither the red mark nor the temp control notch were mentioned in the instructions on the package.

Cut the shims What a mess

Thanks for the video! Gereralist, or anyone who can answer: How fast does a rotary tool cut through a tub? Was considering doing a job like that.

Why would one have to change the cartridge?

Sawzall with a pack of metal cut blades gets it out in less than a hour

Great work!! I think you would really benefit from the New Pryger bar that’s going to be for sale soon! Check out our videos, thank you! 😍

I just finished a similar project. My mortar was 1.5 inch thick and machine I rented just got hung up on pretty thick wire every few inches. In the end, 5 foot long crowbar allowed me to rip through wire mesh a few inches at a time and remove in 2x3 foot chunks frequently using aviation snips to cut through connecting wire. Soooo many staples and cleanup an absolute nightmare. Wonder how much I saved doing it myself, probably should have hired it out. Brutal work. I've had to do this to 2 similarly constructed showers. I feel that there is really no easy way out, its going to be messy, heavy and labor intensive.

Thank you.

I have the same shower handle and need to replace the cartridge which is the one u bought... I bought the same plastic handle but the temp is too hard to turn so I meed to replace the cartridge but don't know which one.

What cartridge number is that

My water is coming out blazing hott && mixet valves are both spinning? What’s going on 😭

Thank you so much. I live in an apartment in Vegas, and can you believe the maintenance can't figure out the hot is cold and cold is hot issue! Well your simple suggestion to reverse the orientation of the cartridge 180 degrees solved the problem! Can't thank you enough for taking the time to do this video. I tried on my own, but I was taking the cartridge out and putting it back in upside down which did not help. Obviously you have to leave it in and turn it 180! Woohoo!😎

This is a how not to do video and installing drywall around a tub/shower surround.

So did you end up muding around the shower flange. Did you use tape on the flange side too then caulk ? I’m about to do this and was gonna leave the sheet rock up at first but then everywhere I look everybody is doing direct to stud so I’m gonna do it direct to stud and finish the sheet rock around the edges just wondering how to finished it. Thanks

So once you take out the drain, does that disconnect the tub from the pipes below?

Life saving video. Thanks

You should have used greenboard And it’s called a rasp to shave the sheet rock

Love to hear about this but your camera handling one handed is making be dizzy. Wish you had use a tripod.

Had a question. How did you remove tile from under the cabinet? I have tiles that are partially buried under the toe kick of the kitchen cabinets. How do I create a seam right where the toe kick is? I do not want the hassle of removing the kitchen cabinets. Only want to remove tile from the visible area.

I was doing a diy tile job and started removing existing tile using a Bosch bulldog extreme. Right on the first tile I knew this was not going to be easy 😂 we almost gave up but had already broken down a tile so there was no going back. Saw this video and thought of giving it a shot. Got the same equipment from Home Depot and it worked like a breeze 🙂 this trolley can be lowered down to make a steep angle so that does not damage the sub floor. Thanks for the great idea. It definitely saved a lot of knee and elbow grease 😛
