DIY Shower Remodel : START To FINISH (Part 1 of 2)

[@sarakyoutube]

Not me thinking I was about to DIY my old shower with my own two hands. I tapped out when you explained the plumbing part.

[@yomoseo]

Saves me 12mins thanks

[@joserivera9122]

You can demo around it just be careful always shut the main water off when your ready call a plumber to replace piping and install new fixtures you can always cap a line with a sharkbite if you have to , then once youve done the process you can save a lot of money ive seen customer showers up to 10k

[@jakemallory6949]

Love how much attention goes into your work. No skipping corners, etc...

Figure if I’m trying to help teach people the correct way to do a project I better be showing them the right steps to take, right? Haha. Thanks for watching and the support Jake.

[@Satipatthana2]

I think it's more practical to hire you than to do these myself! :-)

LOL! You might be right about that one Peter. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. It is greatly appreciated!

[@randallprindle2655]

This is probably the most informative and helpful shower restoration video I’ve come across so far. Thank you Sir

[@masakinks]

You inspired me to start my own project, have to say I'm still on minute 8:52 and I'm on day 10 already (I have a day job), changing bathtube took longer than expected and we hired someone for the plumbing, so far so good, slowly and no rushes, we'll get there... thank you for all this info, you make it look so easy!!

[@manonborst4769]

Now I'm wondering how long it did take. We are thinking about redoing our bathroom but we are afraid that it will take months if we do it ourself. And being without a working bathroom for a semi long period of time seems very annoying.

[@masakinks]

@manonborst4769 3 weeks, had a plumber to do the drainage and replace the new hardware for the new faucets, I wasn't feeling very optimistic with a torch on my hands so decided to pay 400 dlls and also he helped installing the new bathtub, still went from 12k down to 4k and including shower doors

[@onthemicwithmike6339]

@@manonborst4769 the main issue we have in the uk is the waiting time on plumbers. Not sure what it’s like in the US but plumbers here can say they’ll be there Monday and just not turn up. You get a call apologising and a new date given. That’s what would stall things over here.

[@libbysingscontrezzo8419]

My new tub is in; the faucet is installed, and now I'm staring at the open walls, paralyzed. I've done tiling before, but for some reason, this time am feeling intimidated even by simple tasks. Don't seem to have the courage or the strength (it is NOT Lite) to bring the tile board in from the car. I've watched about a hundred videos to build my nerve, and this is probably the best for clarity. I have heavy plastic taped up, so can shower that way indefinitely, but really want to see my tile on the wall. Thank you for the upbeat attitude. Too bad you're not my son or I could pour a G & T and just watch.

[@BH-xx6nd]

Nice man...I’m sure Mom and Dad appreciate your work ethic.

[@PittsburghRecordingStudio]

When you broke down everything you need to do the pipes was a GREAT example of why you pay what you pay others and that’s not even including their time and skills! Awesome video

[@josegalvan80]

This really got me going- just told my wife- I’m remodeling the bathroom- she was like 😅 I’ll keep you all posted! 😂

[@ianhowe1449]

Been 2 years. How’d the remodel go?

[@d.s.5807]

You live somewhere very warm to have a water shutoff at ground level. Ours is 6 feet down. TIp of the torch is much hotter, you solder with half the flame encompassing the pipe. Very Nice Job! It's always great to see someone take the time to do the little things

[@taracrews5399]

Great video. I made a drinking game out of every time you used the word "generally" or " general" and I'm more faded than a message in the sand on the seashore. I got some good tips for the sober moments too, overall I'd say I'm generally WINNING! 10/10 would would come back, keep the flow!

[@stevem1792]

I think it’s better to cut out the nitch once you have started tiling up to bottom height of where you want to start the nitch. Doing that you will have good size tile for the nitch surround. If you prep the nitch before measuring you could have very small tile pieces

[@HamedAghai]

I enjoyed listening to you just a little more than the project itself! I appreciate your video and the sense of humor as well.

[@fatjonseatingadventures5429]

I love the confidence in your plumbing that you put up stuff before testing it. Looks great!

Beautiful transformation!!! You’re hired! 🤩

[@xavierescobar]

what about me ?

[@RattledPan]

I'm sure glad I found you and your video! I'm an old tile man, but things do change some in forty-five years, eh? A little time stamp: I was working when Dura-Rock was just introduced. Boy, doesn't that make life easier. Now my challenge is remodeling a bathroom that has all the charm of a bathroom in a nasty gas station in the middle of the desert, or perhaps a bathroom Greyhound might deny owning. Add to it? It is a manufactured home. So we all know at this point this is going to be better than a I Love Lucy show. Dyslexic? Check. Dyscalculia? Check. (autistic number scrambling). Left-handed? Check. Can I get confused with the direction of "righty-tighty" & "lefty-Lucy" even though it is a clue which direction to turn it? Oh hell yeah! I have a deep hatred of vinyl wrapped wall panels and breathtakingly bad plumbing fixtures. Before I unpacked anything when we moved in (other than obviously, the coffee), I ripped down the 1/4" glass mirror that was losing the silver backing at the bottom of it first. I'm terrified of walking under ladders and breaking mirrors, but this time it was an act of the Decorating Police (that is, me) So, the plastic tub, the chintzy plastic shower walls and the crap fixtures are going. I have a back edge in the front that is bowing outward enough for moisture to get in there. It smells ripe. How much damage could it have caused? The house is ten years old and in fine shape, but it also was built with modern materials and what they use in mobile homes. It's funny because the materials that are used are to HUD's specifications, but despite that, it seems that Fleetwood approaches upgrades and sensible additions to their parts list' like American car manufacturers would begrudgingly change this, but not modify the car design so the new designs or practices fit seamlessly and brings the best experience to the consumers. In modular houses (these homes have not been called "mobile homes" since 1976 They come in at least two huge hunks, have to be permitted to deliver and install the home, tied to cement casings underneath the place. It would be cheaper to move a stick house than a "mobile home." When you get inside you can see all sorts of ways the manufacturer "cheated" the build. I know conventional homes are built badly today. I stare at my modular home and can tell that a factory house is many time built by people than know less about construction than the average hammer slinger. They are designed for workers that have no experience whatsoever, to built a house without it falling down on the assembly line, lol. How I could go on. But this is my house, and I am a perfectionist. Just on a video technical note, I like and think it is smart how you just film the work--and I think shooting it speeded up was a smart move. After you demonstrate the technique or the tool, you continue to show it in action which is good reinforcement. I think that you might want to put chapter markings for each technique, or fixture focus, or whatever would help. I'd be damned if I could tell you how, but I know KZbin has the instructions somewhere. You know a helluva lot more than I do both as a craftsman with tile and with video. I'm still a month off before I destroy my bathroom. I kick around doing a video of it just because I've got all sorts of house projects I have to do, but goof around with my raw video in post production, just for the practice and possible use. I actually ended up in a training position, despite my ineptitude. I always explained that it was because I had made every mistake in the book, which qualifies me as a teacher. Rock on! I'm lovin' what I am seeing, and your asides and snarky comments adds to the fun!~

[@Curious_gen]

This waa the inspiration I needed. I am going to so this myself regardless how long it takes me 🙄. We might just havw to shower outside for months lol. About how much tile did you need for this project? Are those 12x12 or 14x14. Is there a specific kind of tile I should look for? One that wouldnt damage due to moisture etc? Please help 😫

Turning the main off at the street? I used to winterize foreclosures and there was always a main valve inside the house, usually in the basement.

I wish mine went as smooth as yours, I didn't account for the back wall not being plum and was trying with subway tiles. Ended up ripping it all out and starting from scratch with big tiles.

[@BYOTools]

Ouch! That sounds like a rough one. The wall being plum makes life a lot easier. Sometimes thinnest can be used to level things up appropriately but not if the wall is really out of wack. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.

Question about stacking these or any boards together like you did. Why didn't you have some sort of glue to create a seal between these motherboards? Is that not required?

[@HAIZZUL]

How long did this take you? Please answer. I’m considering

[@easyedub]

I noticed the family photos and was trying to figure out the connection. You all looked related but how? I'm doing a bath rehab and moving to the mortar stage in a day

[@bosslife944]

What if the walls aren’t level how would I install the the boards?

[@av8or971]

i am confused. the point of durock is for the tile and mortar to adhere to the wall.. then you put thin set over it, and then the pink stuff.. So in essence, there is more bonding with the durock, so is there really a need for durock?

[@Clarkbar79]

Is there a way to test plumbing before finishing it completely???

[@stevem1792]

Yes put and termination 1/2” pipe cap on the shower head pipe & the tub spout. Then you can turn on your shower valve before putting up the wonder board

[@ajjd1303]

How thick was the cement board?

[@Gremlinb3ll]

I’ve seen green board being used as opposed to to concrete board. Is there a big difference on which one you use?

[@WonderboyWDE]

Curious why you didn’t use PEX? Just curious, not a critique. I’m getting ready to redo our shower and was thinking about using PEX just because I generally suck at soldering and didn’t know if there was a preference on the reason that I need to take into consideration.
