Demo in the Morning, Tiling in the Evening

Hey Gang, today's video is nothing but productive. As we're beginning one face lift and ending another, we find ourselves hopping across town these days to get things done all over the place. A lot of you have asked about pricing in regards to countertops and other materials so we're going to try and include those prices when we can. This backsplash came out looking spectacular with no stress from the grouting portion so that's always a win in our book. Thanks for watching and we'll see ya in the next one!

[@hampyonce]

Button polished. Y'all should win a KZbin Emmy.

Thx for watching 👍. Always wanted to visit your beautiful country ✈️

[@iwillburn]

I always feel motivated after watching your videos! Thanks for another great one

[@kevinintheusa8984]

Another great video. We did our ceilings recently and replaced our blown-in with rolled attic insulation as we pulled each one. It was a mess. We ended up using a Harbor Freight dust collection system with insulation bags from Amazon to suck out the blown-in. It worked great and now I have a new dust collection system for my woodshop in the garage. I always hated the blown-in (my wife had it installed) and I think the roll-in reduces outside noise better. Great work.

"It's not demo-day until someone is bleeding." Ain't that the truth. At least you had a nurse on site.

[@oldtimefarmboy617]

Kicking it down. That is such an obviously superior way of removing old ceiling sheet-rock it makes you wonder why you do not see it done on all home improvement videos. Compared to standing on the floor and pulling it down with all of the dust and miscellaneous debris falling on you, there is just no comparison.

[@JohnnyD1031]

Hey guys love your videos, autobody tech here, aluminum work hardens a lot faster than steel, heat is essential, i use map gas, heat gun could work as well but it spreads out the heat too much imo, but that 90 bend over a mitre was a great idea!👍

You guys rock. I went back and saw some of your old videos and you guys have come a long way. So much more polished and your editing skills have really improved I can see you guys easily reaching 500,000 subscribers and beyond. Keep up the good work and stay humble because you guys are going places!

[@tomjeffries58]

You guys really do nice, thorough and thought out renovations. My hats off to you. Why would someone lower their ceiling? 40 years and I never ran into that even with recessed lighting. BTW I bleed every day. It's tough getting old. Jordan's doing good, ain't he? Having a real helper for tile is a real gift. You done a good job, Paul.

[@alanrobison3298]

That hole saw is so cool!

[@stephennorton1321]

Can't tell you guys how much I look forward to your videos. Watching them over the last year has given me, "Handy Andy", the confidence to do more work myself. In today's market, it's gotten tougher to get a contractor for smaller jobs. BTW, Jordon's editing skills are getting soooooo good....hats off boys!!!

[@theothermarshal]

Awesome outcome... and that laser mount with adjustments is beyond cool. Love using my laser but have never found a mount which allowed precise, accurate adjustments. I'm gonna have to hunt me up one of those for sure. Thanks again for sharing consistently great content!

[@kellyx57]

I like that shrouded hole saw!

[@garbelfunkle]

The insulation made me itchy. Everything looks great. You should come to the Great White North and do my kitchen lol. Not sure you've done it, but a video on how to tile and not just glossing over it would be great. love the actual how to stuff.

[@rogerweaver7686]

they did a great video on a bathroom remodel, it covered technics well. You will have to look through previous shows.

[@Curious0189]

Love your positive infectious attitude. I even adopted your “hey gang” welcome to my own recent videos as I address the wide array of problems associated with the purchase of my first home. My wife and I declined to have a home inspection as the real estate market in our area was and continues to be white hot. We noticed it was the norm to decline such to be deemed a credible and competitive offer in this area. Needless to say, if I didn’t own an HVAC company with my father I would be a world of hurt in terms of the repairs I need to undertake. Thanks for your quality content and keep up the good work. Learn something new each video I watch!

[@donaldlee6760]

I love that subway tile. I guess I'll be ripping out the original 1966 kitchen tile backsplash in my house as my DIY end of year project. I'll likely also update the matching tile counters to quartz, otherwise it would look odd with tile from 1966 and a modern subway tile backsplash. I live in the SF Bay area so I expect the quartz install price will be far higher than Louisiana.

[@insolventsolver]

is there a reason you're wasting perfectly fine tile? is it broken or what? I understand getting rid of fake countertops, but tile?

[@donaldlee6760]

@@insolventsolver - thanks for bringing up a really great question. Yes, the tile is in surprisingly good shape, especially considering it's 55 y/o, so why be so "wasteful" and replace what works? It's not an ego thing. I'm a bit of a math nerd and think more like a calculator than a normal human with an ego. My two reasons are: #1 - We plan to move out after the kids leave for college and turn this house into a rental. Renters will pay more for quartz and subway tile instead of an old, "grandma" looking kitchen. Quartz and subway tile also attract more desirable renters with a higher credit score. Higher credit score = less concern about non-paying renters and I plan to rent to a family with an amazing credit score, even if I have to price the rent at slightly below market rate. I also don't want to pay 5% to 7% in home selling costs when selling a house. I'm a math nerd so I see this a decreasing my net worth by that 5% to 7% and my goal is to always increase my net worth, never decrease it. #2 is related to #1 - Before moving out, I plan to take equity out of this house via a HELOC or cash-out refi. This will become our down payment on our next house. If it costs me $10k to replace the perfectly good 55 y/o tile with modern quartz and subway tile, my home value will increase by roughly $40k to $50k (in my neighborhood, your neighborhood may vary), so a 3x or 4x return ($40k - $10k = $30k added value = 3x return on $10k). If I can increase my net worth by $3 by spending one dollar, my math nerdness compels me to take this action. So basically, the reason I want to "waste perfectly fine tile" is to increase my net worth.

[@CarnivoreTracee]

Oh my goodness ceiling is sooo much better! Awesome job guys!!!

[@ajmedeiros77]

They have the dust bowl at Lowe’s. And I need the micro adjuster too!

[@StudPack]

The hole cutter is MacLighting HS6000. The laser mount is by Heupar. Did a whole video on it “ this must have laser mount is a game changer”

[@TJMODLA]

I got super excited to see a second StudPack video in a week! Can't get enough of you guys. But, I have to say...With the price of wood these days, it hurt my soul to see you cut those old 2x4s in half to demo them. 10:30 I'll call it even though. Lol. Great video fellas. 👏

[@RehabLife]

Yeah, I was sitting here nearly in tears seeing that awesome old wood being cut into short sticks.

[@knothead6436]

@@RehabLife I was thinking the exact thing.

[@number6396]

Agree. Very sad to waste all that good wood. Should have taken a little extra time to salvage it and donate to HABITAT or put at the road with a sign, "FREE." I really did shake my head on that one.

[@RehabLife]

@@number6396 yep, I salvage everything that I can and find it a new purpose. It’s one of the ways that I can keep my costs low. I can pay a guy good money to pull nails and still be money ahead.

[@emmetband4931]

If the tile trim is aluminum try heating it up and then bend it and at the same time pull the material into the bend. There may be a problem with the finish using this method but it sure works with 6061.

[@kenmore01]

Nicely done gentlemen!! Yeah, when I work on the instruments I work on (big steel contraptions with sharp edges), I end up with big cuts. I now have five scars on my arms along with many contusions from Wednesday. I think the rental car people will charge me a blood cleaning fee lol. Nice Saturday watching. You made my day!

[@travisk5589]

Studs, did I really see stacks of tile sitting on the customers counter tops with out there being any paper or other means of protecting the counter? Good call on running the backsplash up to the next full tile. It generally does look better.

[@kyriacosdavis7781]

If it’s straight aluminum with no coating, put a torch to the edge and get it hot and them bend it.

[@95thousandroses]

I bend schluter (sp?) whenever I can. A small torch helps keep it from cracking or breaking. I only heat it just enough to sizzle spit and of course it won't work on painted to colored Schluter trim.

[@rpaasse6453]

Oh man, to get half an hour in that dumpster, take out all that real wood from a real tree. Great job again!

[@austinhastings6709]

You know, I saw a video on youtube where this guy was talking about making little wooden rectangles to cover the outlets. Supposedly, it makes tiling around them much easier...

That guy is cool 😂😎

[@dr_rosenburg_lacma]

Nice work gang!

[@whoopsydoosy3179]

[@johnathanpope9663]

when you go to bend the aluminum get a torch and heat it right before you bend it. it will prevent the breaking and tearing good luck next time.

[@MrNeilypops]

Excellent video production and information! Greetings from Luxembourg!

[@ohhhsnap17]

That fridge could be bigger in the first project. It bothers my ocd lol but great work guys 👌

[@jarduhat8267]

I use a die cutter that takes a 90 degree "bite" out for trims like that and sometimes a second bite for a bit of clearance. When you bend it do it just one time to the angle you need and try doing it on a flat surface so you don't have to adjust it back into plane(which would further risk weakening/breaking it). *edit made by crane tools

[@dollyscorner4850]

Thanks for the video! Can you explain or show how to place lights in the ceiling.

[@CitEnthusiast]

You are getting really good at this KZbin stuff guys! I like that you don't repeat content from earlier videos, but it would help to put links to those more in-depth videos, such as how to lay tile. Nice work, but I'd have liked to see you put in the double-gang boxes, many people need to make this sort of change and a good demo video would be in order.

[@pauldunne9437]

You can try and heat up the trim before you bend. Heat gun would do the trick. Hello from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👍🏻

[@grantmackinnon1307]

tri-square file to bend the tile edge inside. never tried to grind it one wet saw, maybe ill try it sometime. i dont think i would break it though.

That hole saw is awesome... Got to have it n the laser set up

[@minniedease7477]

[@travisk5589]

Maybe use a 18g pin nailer next time that you do trim? That thing blew some big all holes in that mdf. I know that the holes will be filled, but damn.

[@dannewman7974]

1. First time I recall seeing your son sans hat 2. Snow shovel in Louisiana? Seems like you put it to good use 3. I would have paid you money to come and help kick out that ceiling.

Blame my older siblings.)

[@jmaxim80]

that back splash turned out great fella something to be proud of.

[@StudPack]

First time I've felt confident and truly proud of a backsplash job, thanks Max! - Jordan

[@DeekerJones]

7:11 That bend would be way easier if you apply a little heat the where the bend occurs. Should help soften it up and prevent work hardening. The heat gun from the last video would probably be enough to prevent it from snapping.

[@StudPack]

Thx Deeker 💪

[@countrifiedjose7537]

Just the comment I was looking for before suggesting.

[@Aepek]

Yep, but careful not to go crazy and use too much, not good. Naturally, If never done before; definitely use scraps (if have) and do some test bends. Once ya get a nice bend in it; looks SO GOOD😉👍🏻

[@CitEnthusiast]

@@StudPack I'd also put the edge on a flat surface and put a tile in there so the bend is straight and correctly positioned. You broke the piece trying to flatten it out, wouldn't happen if it was laying on a flat surface and you bent it along that surface. But I still do mitered corners and file the ends to make them smooth and not sharp.

[@GOGOSLIFE]

My husband can't work on the car, unless he comes in at least once, to get his blood cleaned up and a band-aid, lol! I've fixed him up and taken out stitches more times than I could count. He never really hurts himself too bad though.

Wouldn't you love it if you didn't have to tile around the outlets? many options for putting them under the cabinet for a clean look. Love your videos. Best renovation You Tube Channel.

[@lazy5877]

I see you are doing tiles job. As a professional I recommend using reusable needle tile leveling system :) Those with orange tip and a black nut that squeezes the tile to level it up. I've been using them for years and those are great.

[@TheBUGZNTA]

Name checks out. Should really only use those to keep the tiles level not make them level. Once you put the leveler on and its not already level you are just creating a void behind the tile.

[@lazy5877]

@@TheBUGZNTA I'm not native English speaker, but I hope you can understand what I say. You don't make much void if you squish the tile and then use leveling "needle screws", even if it lifts it up by 1mm or so, there is enough glue to fill those voids, there will be some suction from borders around of the tile, but from my experience it's not a problem, unless you use trowel with groves that are not tall enough or glue is too dry. And of course you should use leveler and tap the tiles. Those needles are not to level, but to avoid lipages.

[@MSeroga]

I'm guessing if you first heat up that outer trim piece for the tile, then you could bend it into the shape you want and would be able to use it. The trick would probly be then to not damage it while heating it up, or cause any discoloration. Question is then, is it worth all the effort after everything is said and done?

[@Aepek]

I’m saying yes, as doing this trick (w/o heat for post framing building and metal trim, roofing, wainscot exterior accents, etc…) looks great when do a bend “miter” then cutting b/c everything looks like it flows and not having a “break”…if that makes sense. It’s that “attention to detail thing” that ppl will “notice”😉 Cheers😊

[@judmcfeters9054]
