1940s Bathroom Remodel | How To Install A Fart Fan | THE HANDYMAN

[@TheHandyman1]

Here is a Fart Fan amzn.to/2wX5hQr

[@Wolfhound.]

im guessing a back wind pushes it closed when necessary maybe ....

[@chrischavez6358]

Mister HandyMan Sir Did you add a new switch for the fart fan or did you just cut into the line of the old light switch to add the fart fan ?

[@chrischavez6358]

Never mind I just rewatched and heard you say you added a switch for the fan specifically.

[@GarwoodNick]

Mr Handyman, I've remodeled quite a few bathrooms and set quite a lot of tile and I just want you to know that you're doing a real fine job here.

[@safemasteryoh2717]

Nice work, I did mine 2 years ago and had no access from above :( every obstacle you can think of I ran into. I learned that no matter how much people show how things are done you always run into something new. Thanks for the video Handy man

[@RobertVosburg]

in my bathroom there isn't any access either. I bet it'll be fun trying to install it. I wonder if The Handyman will do a how to video on that.

[@spreklfreks]

Super stoked about the tool video! Really enjoy getting your're breakdown, explanations, and reasoning as to why you have what in addition to seeing your most utilized tools for the majority of the jobs you share. Hope your week is going great!

[@scottmatthews5294]

Just wanted to let you know your videos are great and your full of knowleage. I literally do the exact same thing as you here in Richmond, VA. Even if I know how to do the things your talking about I still love getting home and relaxing to your videos. Some customers are something else and every day brings something new and exciting!!!

[@stang7043]

Now there's a ghost in the window of the door?! 👻

[@nathenwallis5664]

"I should probably be wearing gloves, but then I'd have to wear a skirt", lol!, my feelings exactly. The only time I wear gloves is when I'm working with fiberglass insulation, and that's just because my skin breaks out for about a week if it touches my skin.

[@Aepek]

Never have I seen a wall that's perfectly square or true, doesn't exist, lol.....😉 If there's a time that I do ever encounter one, I'd probably fall into a coma from shock. Thanks for the vid, & tips. Can't wait for tool review vid. Cheers, A

[@jakelafollette3700]

I worked for CertainTeed Gypsum, I see you using there tile board a lot. Its called TPC, or Diamond back. Its made specifically for hanging tile in bathrooms, because of what the board is coated with, its also water proof/anti-weathered board. Its very handy.

[@TheHandyman1]

Its great stuff I switched to it a few years ago.

[@peterjenne3552]

Man that attic is almost identical to my 1900's attic and a real suck ass place to be. I have 10" joists so much more itchy ass rockwool. I think I have PTSD from the plaster and rockwool !!! My house is a duplex so I get to do it all TWICE !!!

[@MichaelMerritt]

This dude muds. He’d probably frost the most amazing cake you’ve ever laid eyes on.

[@roosterhunter6245]

Installed many a fart fans in new residential construction. We would rip out those butterfly valves in the fart fans. Seen plenty of those valves stuck shut because when vent pipe was screwed in it would hold the valve closed.

[@GSMSfromFV]

"Morning cold coffee!" Good choice . . . Caramel iced coffees at Jack-in-the-Box are my favorite. ;o))

[@DEATHMETALCYCLE]

The skirt comment got me

[@larry323]

Good job on the video Handyman. Your getting better at explaining your work. Thanks

[@okboston9086]

You gotta get an egg beata for mixin your hot mud, you can mix a whole pan of 20 and its perfect consistancy, good for mixing small batches of thinset or grout for repair shit. Love your vids its fuckin great seeing some one doing remodeling and repair shit the right way

[@autonomous44]

I'm a big fan of cold coffee, too. I have pretty much done away with hot coffee unless I'm out with the fam and not hungry.

[@Chris-nf2ej]

I love the morning cold coffee comment in beginning....i can't get thru my day with at least 3 large cups of cold coffee the wife says it's an addiction and bad habbit and I've always replied well it's better than alternatives you will ( my wife) will always be my first bad habit and my second is my coffee.. You are an inspiration....when I began watching your videos years ago you were an encouragement for me to start my own business...im a solo guy learning as I go in the NOVA area and left my desk job 2 years ago chasing a dream of being a "handyman"...i enjoy the videos and I love what I do...no so much as full big jobs like you but the average small stuff for now..but 3 to 4 small jobs a day is still paying the bills....working my way up though. Subscriber for life..im going to ow you on Instagram shortly... Keep it up!

[@glg3945]

Very nice work! Like the way you show your tricks and fixes for common problems we don't always know how to fix. Thank you! TT

[@Samsonmetaphysical]

Thank you, The Handyman I highly enjoy viewing your content.

[@mattversluis7778]

Hey Handyman. My oscillating tool is one of my favorites. I have a lath and plaster house too and have used it many times to cut holes for things like ceiling fart fans. I always use the dermal brand carbide blades. The cut nice clean lines in plaster like a boss! Only down side is the price. $40 for 3 of them at my local Home Depot. You should try them out sometime.

[@TheHandyman1]

I'm going to give those blades a try. I have heard they are great.

[@ram12e6]

i get them on Amazon they are 23.00 instead of home depots crazy price for them like 40.00

[@davidschweinhagen2145]

So where's the part where you vented it outside?

[@chadthorne9251]

Thanks for the real intro handyman. Lol

[@autonomous44]

General question: What was the thinking behind shaving the tile as opposed to shaving the wall? Just cleaner/more efficient? Is there a downside to shaving the wall down in that area and compensating with thicker adhesive?

[@Murasame2003]

Thanks for the video. I need to install a ventilation fan and have been waiting for this video!

[@montymont3327]

you simplify alot of stuff thank you

[@carltonm3761]

That insulation looks like vermiculite!! I love the install by the way!

[@mitchellpurelife]

Nice looking tile job!

[@TheHandyman1]

Thanks

[@briancnc]

Had to redo mine completely, previous homeowner had the old 'fart fan' ventilating into an enclosed joist bay, filled in years of mold. Ripped it out replaced it with a modern one with LED lighting and wow are they quiet these days. Cut a hole in the roof and married a proper roof damper under the roof tiles, and piped it with insulated flex hose. I didn't have to fight with loose insulation and lath/plaster like you did but it was still a hassle with being right in the eave of a 4/12 pitch.

[@i-will-get-you-there]

Coming together nicely! Good work! But I don't need to tell you that, do I? Cheers mate.

[@scottmiller9098]

4:06 From flip flops to my grandpa's slippers!

[@TRX450RVlogger]

I've seen people glue a little 5/16" nut as a weight on the flap to the bathroom fan so that way it closes fully but fan will still push it opened.

[@TheHandyman1]

That's a really good idea. some one jut had me take their fan flapper out because it was flap and make noise when the wind blew.

[@TRX450RVlogger]

The Handyman yupp i've seen people do that for some time and seems to be just enough to help. I remember growing up in my old house hearing that flap in the ceiling fan lol.

[@sueannsmall7028]

I need to turn on my fart fan right now if you catch my drift

[@jcaton913]

"I'd have to wear a skirt"... priceless.

[@autonomous44]

It'll probably get looser and close up on itself easier later, the fan side up exhaust deally thing.

[@bsm6776]

My wife and I joke that we need one of these fans in the bedroom

[@rwl6935]

Great job! I picked up the fat maxx tool vest you recommended. It’s great. The only thing I don’t like is when you bend over and all your tools fall on on the floor. 😂

[@TheHandyman1]

There is Velcro that you have to undo in order to get the pockets to hang down when you bend over. I don't have any problems with tools falling out. I might do a tool video today and show the tool vest again.

[@jesuschrist1848]

Nice work, again.

[@mikeweckesser4450]

what is the uncoupling membrane you were talking about at the end of the video? I am trying to do a floor, want it to match the height of my engineered HW floors and ditra with all the layers of mortar and blah blah blah is going to raise it too high. This could be my answer to my issues. Thanks

[@TheHandyman1]

It was the answer to my issues. You wont find it in any big box store. I had to go to a tile distribution warehouse that mostly deals with commercial accounts. Here is a link. noblecompany.com/storage/docs/resources/DT082015-01_Dal-Seal_TS_Product_Description.pdf

[@mikeweckesser4450]

perfect! thank you for the quick response. Keep the great work coming. Always very informative with a little comedy mixed in lol

[@thebandit7404]

Did you also do a vent to the exterior and if so do you have a video about that? Thanks for all your vids, they are really helpful!

[@TheHandyman1]

It is vented to the outside. See my instagram to see the vent. @the_hand_e_man

[@cdgregOG]

RE: hump in wall and wobbly tile. Is it always easier to shave the back of the tile, or are there any cases where you try to sand or smooth out the wall itself?

[@akhlaqsawar7683]

A very cool looking T- shirt at the beginning of the video like that 👍🏻, why do you never wear gloves 🧤 only on a very rare occasion .... keep up the good work mate 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@TheHandyman1]

They slow me down.

[@scottmiller9098]

7:23 Time for...Handyman Mini-Me!

[@kenholland7204]

A skirt 😂😂

[@lockedin60]

it may just be me. I have hearing problems anyway. But if you are in an inclosed place and using a respirator I think a voice over would sound better. Just a suggestion

[@robertcarroll5965]

Asbestos RIP HANDYMAN

[@65895555]

Handyman Sorry I missed your live stream a few weeks back. Wondering if you can give me your opinion on my question. In one of your videos you mentioned you lived on a boat in Florida and said you worked there. I have worked as a electrical contractor and have built and remodeled my own homes have many years experience and I am retired now but I would like to work a bit when I am in Southwest Florida in the winter as a handyman. Do you think I could make enough in that area? I would not exclusively do electric work since I prefer to stay out of attics. 62 years old but have great knees. I do tile, build furniture , drywall, you get it. What do you think of the market down there. I am from Michigan with the same work ethic as you, but I don’t want to work for free. Appreciate any advise you could provide.

[@dallasr.wheeler4978]

Safety glasses, dude. I know they suck but getting insulation in your eye would suck way more. Just sayin.

[@joacimmartinez1724]

What wire can u use on the bathroom fan?

[@donkitterman1940]

Do you not need cement backer board for rigidness? I'm assuming your new subfloor serves that purpose. Love your videos. thanks

[@TheHandyman1]

The new ply wood stiffens the floor enough.

[@stephaniebeaton3939]

how do you patch lath a plaster walls? We have been living here 6 months in a lath and plaster house and the wall in one room is developing a crack. We've been careful but seems like fragile stuff. Was it broken there before and patched badly?

[@stephaniebeaton3939]

Also, we put laminate flooring in a closet. If we hammer the quarter round back onto the wall will we create more cracks in the lath and plaster? Should we use masonary drill and screws to attach quarter round?

[@TheHandyman1]

You could just glue the 1/4 round. I usually repair cracks in plaster with a reinforced mesh tape. I chip away the top layer of plaster around the crack. Its pretty thin. About 2 inches on each side of the crack. I put the mesh tape over the crack then use a setting compound to mud over the crack. I sand the setting compound then finish with a topping mix.

[@frankie2234]

Panasonic has the quietest fan.

[@TheAustinBlockChannel]

I notice it is dark out the window. I'm curious as to what time at night your customer lets you work till?

[@TheHandyman1]

They were out of town. I usually work until the customer gets home from work.

[@I_am_Poknik]

hello handyman.. good job

[@HO-ck4ch]

I would need 2 fans in my wc

[@kyle3526]

Alotta lipage on that toilet side wall. Best place it can be. The rest looks great

[@843292]

Handyman, on the modified tile, why wouldn't you take a rasp to the wall instead?

[@tdelrio]

How do you deal with blown in insulation that's much deeper than that attic?

[@TheHandyman1]

shovel.

[@tdelrio]

ha! copy that!! just checking to see if there was some method a pro uses.. Shovel it to the side.. got it

[@smkibler]

I take a small trench shovel up for blown in insulation.

[@seonggkim]

Where is the info on running the electric to this?!

[@xjohnnylargex]

Tub walls look clean. Next time you can try pre loading the walls. I take my 4ft level run it up and down the walls horizontally , Mark the low spot then float with thin set.

[@xjohnnylargex]

"Pre floating"

[@killajr51]

What about the electrical 👀

[@slowpoke96Z28]

What’s pixelated?

[@cegentry]

Probably should put gloves on? What you need is to rip that mask off and grab some mustard.

[@Wrockyy]

So where will the Fart Fan exhaust to?

[@TheHandyman1]

Check my instagram @the_hand_e_man

[@MrKab04]

hi, when you are doing a time lapse. sometimes can you put music behind it instead of the speed up noises please?

[@gscott1604]

I'm offended that your hypothetical helper was assumed to be a male. #snowflake #thehandywoman
