I built a shed watching your videos five years ago and now I think I can rebuilt my bathroom. Thank You!

[@peanut366]

Outstanding video. I really appreciate that you made a video showing how to install a shower and tub instead of converting a tub into a standing shower. Thank you.

[@smtaylor8705]

Man you are thorough and a great teacher. Can't believe i just found this channel!

[@HouseImprovements]

Thanks and welcome

[@cindyfox9642]

Excellent presentation do detailed and so well done very impressed thank you to spend the time to present

[@danielolson437]

I definitely appreciate the level of detail you include in your descriptions. As a handyman, I do so many different kinds of projects that I need these extra reminders and notes so crucial steps remain in sequence. Thanks for confirming the importance of anchoring PEX and always switching to copper when pipe needs to breach the wall. I didn't hear you mention gauging plumbing rough-in height with tile size and layout to avoid grout lines falling behind escutcheons, trim plates and tub spouts (when possible), but your finished product demonstrates this preferable aesthetic. I currently have yet another project including a tub conversion to shower, and a tub replacement, in tandem with a PEX system upgrade from old CPVC for the cold. This is in a condo w/steel studs, so I'll be cruising through your vids for any tips I don't already know. Already looking to reframe the shower to best accommodate the clients preferred tile. Fun Fun Fun!

[@diegotorices4836]

Shannon, Thank you sir for taking the time to do this video. Always appreciate great work and down to the average DIY-er lingo. It really helps to see all the small details that go into making it work correctly. Sometimes you get folks skipping past what they think is common knowledge. Thanks again. NOW, to cutting 1/2 copper, converting top pex, raising the shower/bath spout up ~4-inches, tub, tile and (crossing fingers it all goes as planned. Diego from California.

[@911truthfarmer]

I am using a Moen system very similar but unfortunately I have the bath spout that screws on and the length of the copper needs to be just right, which you talked about, ugh. Very good info you provided, thanks! It will help me a lot in gauging the depth of the Moen valve. As you mentioned, the instructions are vague in this area. It's more art than craft at that point. Wish me luck!

[@HouseImprovements]

Glad I could help! Those threaded spout connections suck don't they? LOL

[@mycats7321]

Thank you for this! I have to redo 3 bathrooms & the only plumber who will come out to my house is very rude and he refuses to sweat copper. I'm not comfortable with sweating copper, so I wanted to see how to connect copper pipe for the tub spout. I can re-use existing copper rough-in for the two tubs. I didn't realize push-fit worked on copper for some reason. I'm going to be cheap & use sch 80 PVC elbows (used for electrical conduit) for the 90° bends for the water supply to connect to the valve bodies. It's less than $1 for the elbows where I live and it will be less likely to restrict the flow. I'm going to be using thin-walled direct-to-stud wall kits so I'm wondering if I can use water-sealed plywood to reinforce the spots where holes are cut so that if they ever get pressed on/leaned on, it won't crack the surround. I know Sterling/Kohler uses plywood or OSB coated in some protective water seal for their "age-in-place backers". I'm going to be making my own for the grab bars since Sterling didn't have them in the right place for the grab bar sizes we are using. I'll also be adding braces in the wall spanning the studs that the backer boards can anchor to. Btw, do you have the link to your video on installing that valve in a thin-walled shower? I would very much appreciate it, please.

[@TheOneimage]

great job. thank you very much. I think will be helpful always to let the watcher know where you got the part and how much.
