You are a LEGEND for posting a 4hr long video, not skipping on the details. You make our DIY and budget-friendly dreams possible

[@jaredl2239]

I love that you aren't afraid to release a 4 hour video, rather than stringing it out across a dozen weekly uploads. Burned a whole evening watching this with no regrets!

Regret it bc it’s totally against any plumbing code worldwide

[@MiriamDavis-xk8be]

Watching this video was like having a friend guide me through a budget-friendly shower renovation project. I was amazed by how you used affordable materials and clever techniques to achieve such a high-end look without breaking the bank.

[@Jordo519]

good trick I learned from years of tiling, take you diamond hole saw and cut a hole into a sponge, leave the cut piece inside the hole saw, then dip the hole saw in water, this way it will consistently feed water to your diamond hole saw as you cut your hole,

[@MrBigspendn]

Start small. Buy some larger format tile and a large piece of drywall that you can screw against a wall at the top. Practice laying it. Just make sure you get it off fast enough to clean the drywall and tile backing. Doesn't have to be perfectly clean. Throw thinnest away. Put a couple short cut pipes in the drywall to cut around. Remember, focus in on the spacing and cuts. You're practicing more than just setting it on the wall. Have fun and don't feel rushed.

[@robbbean3519]

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I’m sorry I like most of your videos. But me being a master plumber. If I was you I wouldn’t post videos on doing plumbing to code. You definitely teaching people the wrong way to plumb something right.. if you disagree I can explain.

[@UK-Expat-in-USA]

It's been a few years since I have laid tile and I'm researching to remodel the bathroom into a wet room shower with free standing bath in it and heated floors, your video was very helpful, and I appreciate you even included your mistakes and the fixes needed!

[@susanhuntley7958]

My husband and I just started tearing apart our bathroom to redo pretty much everything in it, and we will be using your videos to guide us through the whole process. Thank you for all you do, your videos are extremely informative!

[@jorissplinter]

Question: do people think about using XPS boards for bathrooms in the US? I’m from The Netherlands and here it is now very common to use these. They are all the way trough 100% watertight and are ready to tile on. You can use them directly onto the framing if you get 20mm think boards or thicker. I used them for the whole bathroom, then will use a watertight tile glue, and then will also seal the grout of the tiles. This way there are 3 lines of defence against water getting into the construction. Just an idea, maybe it’s helpful for some. They are extremely fool proof to work with.

[@allaboutboats]

[@taylormiles8638]

You are the best content on KZbin for sure. Your passion is inspiring and unmatched. I don't think you stressed enough about your framing that it was "done with a laser". For all the time you spent on the video you still started with a perfect frame. The tile and all the finish at the end is heavily reliant on the framing first and foremost. Especially if people are renovating their own homes. They might try to follow your video exactly and still be frustrated and fail because the framing wasn't good enough. I think stressing the framework for longer would've made the video perfect for most to understand what it actually takes to make everything you're doing as easy as it seems

[@antonessheesh6511]

My guy! Very well said.

[@brandonhoffman4712]

I offer Framing adjustment as an option. I highly recommend it to customers, to flatten their walls. I always analyze the Framing, and if it's too bad. I won't continue without it being addressed. I charge $8-10/sqft to address the Framing. $8/sqft for hardibacker. If they want their walls floated in concrete it's $20-25/sqft. Flat walls are the foundation and beginning of getting good tile work. Level walls are the beginning of getting great tile work. The quality difference is apparent between every level. In my world, there is trash, happy mediums, and textbook perfection. I will install trash if that's all you can afford/pay me for. I will always guide the homeowner towards textbook perfection. But if concessions need to be made for financial reasons. Part of my job and duty is to apply the best outcome with the funds available to any given job. My standards are high, if I need to step beneath them, I do so the best way I can.

[@chrisbunting6022]

Mate, nice videos very informative, but get a 1ft 2 x 4 and hole saw it with each size you have then use it as a guide over tiles, clamp it to the tile to hole saw exact holes with no pilot bit. Perfect every time. Thanks for the great videos you rock, cheers from Australia

[@Florin_Neagu]

Yup, plus you get to cancel out some of the potentially destructive vibrations in the tile. Also, just throw some water in there, it makes everything much easier.

[@cameronhay8759]

Always enjoy your vids! At 36:06, when you pressed the drain pipe onto the existing drain, it looks like the a pipe flange spread apart as if it wasn't glued. I had a plumber I contracted in a new build yrs back forget to glue 2 drains & I found out the hard way when the ceiling in the basement flooded. It was a costly mistake for him!

Thanks for sharing everything with us, Jeff. What I like about your videos as you’re just an average guy and you show all your mistakes and your frustrations. I feel like when I do a project like this I have the same experiences and the same setbacks and get just as frustrated, but I always figure it out. Some of the videos on KZbin are done by people that probably film 10 takes before they’ll publish so everything looks perfect and done right the first time. I don’t like that because it doesn’t represent real life. You are unique and stand out among other contractors on KZbin. Keep up the great work.

[@jeffkindschuh8888]

Cheers Jeff! Happy to be of some help!

[@kemoschwabbie3342]

Jeff-- another excellent video. Question. Why don't you start at the bottom and then work up so that you have waterproof layers overlapping as you go up? I am thinking about considerations when we do siding, roofing, etc.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

the exterior systems are all water diversion so it makes sense. the house also dries to the exterior so not as important. In a bathroom we are making it waterproof. the redgaurd when dries creates a monolithic layer like rubber and has no joints at all. Cheers!

[@royrussell8531]

Totally Awesome as usual. I love that new product on the floor, looks like it's easy to work with & cut. I had a remodel done but not with this product, a 4x9 shower that I loved. Watch your videos for hours and learn a great deal Love u man!!!

[@zombienectar]

At 36:09 when he pushed the drain down for the final time I could see the pipe fitting near the end, split on the bottom. I thought the assembly was already glued and set ?

[@ritzon2670]

Relton masonry bits work pretty well on pretty much all tile, even super hard floor tile. on ceramic tile like that, which looks fairly soft to me. you can use them for multiple showers easy. on pretty hard tile you can get a whole shower out of them. on decorative tile is where i would use a diamond bit. i've never used a diamond bit on anything that wasn't glass, pretty much only Reltons for the past 9 years installing showers. You are correct about double sided tape and silicone, we tape all our U-channel for 3/8 showers, silicone it to the wall on the inside and out, and wet seal the glass to the channel on the inside. For a bi-pass style shower like you are installing I will always use anchor, but I will not use the ones that came in the kit you have. I'll use a general 3/16 drywall anchor if i'm installing it into tile, and on a fiberglass pan I will drill my hole with a 1/8 bit and screw the wall jambs directly into the fiberglass side. Also on installing the doors into the header, put the inside door inside the shower and set the outer door first and then the inner door. it makes it a lot easier and less stressful, especially with the frameless doors.

[@Mab-pw4yt]

When I put tiles on my bathroom floor I began tiling from the middel and worked from the center towards the walls. The same inside the shower, around sink etc. From the center. Symetric look, and easy to measure the tiles I had to cut along all the sides afterwards.

[@John-PaulMartin]

I watched the installation of the drain pipe in the shower. When you glued in the corner drain piping you used. 22.5 fitting off the 90 on the floor. It looks to me that you have created a slope from the 90 to the corner drain. Won’t this allow water to sit in the pipe and corner drain because the 22.5 in pipe make the water have to lift up to the 90? So, water will sit in the corner drain and pipe effectively making a standing water trap? In hind site, you could have cut the flooring circle in the plywood larger to accept the 90 lip on the drain pipe to eliminate the 22.5 connector which means the corner drain has a straight line slope to the 90 eliminating the standing water in the line and corner drain. I love the wall receivers! I am going to redo a shower and this video will really help! Thanks!

[@takismantas1159]

Jeff, Great video with a lot of tips when there are challenges. Here is a couple more tricks. 1. Use carpet protectant film on the shower floor when you grout the walls. It sticks like crazy and will protect the floor tiles, yet it removes very easily. 2. Use your phone's camera at 3X magnification to read the fine print on thinnest & grout bags. Works wonders.

49:48 is there a reason you didn't interlock and extend that foam base out and just put the ridge on top of that if you are just going to build the ridge up anyways, seems like it would connect better and use less thinset

[@NyceGuys]

I found this video as we were attempting to redo one of our guest bathrooms. I also had the same experience trying to find the Schluter all-set, my local Home Depot or Lowes didn't carry it. Thankfully the Lowes two towns over carried it, but couldn't believe Home Depot doesn't even offer it on their website! I can't tell you how many times I have come back to this video and channel when I've hit a snag in my home projects. Can't thank you enough for how much you've helped with our home projects with the information you put on this channel!

[@patriciaterranova1074]

It was a helpful video, thanks. I watched the entire video. You are very good about explaining the products and their uses. Regarding the marble shelf you stated that the water would run all the way under the piece and stop at the silicone. With that thought how water travels, I wanted to share my contractor’s tip for my recent bathroom makeover. I choose a black granite threshold and with sliding days like yours. The threshold installation was fantastic. The contractor provided a physical cut underneath the entire length of the bottom side of the granite to break the path that water would take, while showering. It kept the water inside the shower and stopped the water traveling outside the area onto the floor. You can do the same by passing a saw blade along the length of the shower shelf and threshold before installing a shelf or threshold. It was a thoughtful step in making my bathroom less apt to have water all over the floor!

[@robjohnston5292]

I was thinking the same thing as he was talking about water travel. The same thing applies to window sills. Routing out a small groove on the underside of the length of the sill keeps the water from seeping back under the siding.

[@juzoli]

What’s wrong with basic? Basic is a good lasting solution, loved by most people. Go with a designer, who invents something “unique” for you, and it will look outdated in 5 years, and it will be harder to sell as much less people will like it.

[@williammar2421]

The stone tiles makes it special and 😊

[@brandonhoffman4712]

Bands in tile are dated like windows 95. Hiring a designer gives you options. Empowering your vision. If you chose a wazoo modern look, it was your call. A good designer will often create for the space and make suggestions based off interpreting the homeowners desires. I'm an installer. I often recommend what I call the updated classic look. Matte white subway tile, mosaic floors & shampoo box back wall, solid white marble dam & shampoo box shelf, and a hidden square drain. It looks good I most houses, if I had a more modern style to my house I might swap the subway tile to a 1'x2' while glossy tile set vertically. A classical look will stay classical forever. A modern look is only modern until it becomes dated. Bands in tile showers were modern in 1995. Often @ hip level, with the tile backslash carrying through the shower, or the same material with an offset. It was built upon, layered, embellished with doodads, and now mostly done with.

[@bbay1977]

If all goes well in the next few months, i will sell this home and start me and my daughters new home from scratch. Unless the market is low enough to buy a home on the market😂.

This is exactly my bathroom in my Florida home and we have to remodel it. I know I will find the exact same issues with the floor and shower, Humidity comes from the bottom. Wood rottens at the floors in Florida. Very educational Jeff, thank you!

[@nobodydoingunimportantthings]

To make small cuts in the board I used an oscillating tool with metal cutting blades, after melting three wood blades. I used Hardie and in multiple instances the edge screws caused the board to crack. So I decided to pre-drill the edges. Liquid nails to secure it to the studs in addition to the screws. Also, I pre-fastened the Backer-On screws with the boards laying flat on the ground after marking on the boards where the studs are, then set them into position and completed fastening to the studs - this way it felt a lot easier to begin screwing.

[@brandonhoffman4712]

I don't recommend redgaurd. It doesn't meet my standards as a waterproofing. For the same price. Mapei aqua defense does. My preferred waterproofing for tile is laticrete Hydro Ban. It stands head and shoulders above redgard and aqua defense. Redgard has trouble passing a commercial flood test and is easily debonded with people working on it. I've only been called out for 2 failures in my showers. 1 for redgard failing. 1 for a house subsiding. I've had redgard fail multiple flood tests, requiring 4-6 coats instead of 2-3. Before finally passing. The last straw was when it failed 2 flood tests back to back. If I see people looking @ it @ home depot. I tell them it's crap and steer them to floor&decor or to Lowes.

[@hmj.seward2015]

I loved this video, Jeff. I moved back home and am turning my rental property back into my permanent home. After a flood and a leaky bathroom the bathroom floor joists are being replaced. I will be putting in a curb less shower and tiling with both porcelain and marble and this tutorial is the best. I picked up the Schluter system but am going out and getting the Red Guard to create the best water sealed shower I can have.

[@CindyGalligan-z7q]

I live in a community where all the plumbing is above the slab. Wall toilets and a 6-inch step up into the shower. I just received a quote of $25K to remodel just the wet area. That would be to remove the acrylic unit and replace it with a new acrylic unit! I would like to build a tiled walk-in shower. I wonder if the linear drain might be an alternative to dropping the drain below the slab. It would still be a higher shower pan, but eliminating the major plumbing would be a huge cost savings.

[@ZanderPSmith]

I was kind of hoping to see how you unblocked the protective cover inside the drain,. Last time you showed it at the end of caulking at 3:18 it was blocked, with membrane still in place, then next time we see it around 3:32 when installing the door it was all finished with membrane magically removed! I felt sort of cheated by missing the big moment after you spent all that time with the cover in place.

Question....I noticed you have tile on the bathroom floor. I have obviously been incorrectly told you can't install tile on a mobile home floor because it has only 2x6 floor joist. How did you reinforce the bathroom floor joist and subfloor to be able to support tile without it cracking in the future?? Thanks 😊 oh ,excellent video!!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

if you have a mobile home with no plans to move it then tile away. I also used schluter ditra as a reinforcement for this install. Cheers!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

my trailer has a steel beam running down the middle of each segment of my double wide. When I do decks my engineer says 2x6 is fine if my span is only 5' . In this case my span is just a little less than that. adding the Schluter Ditra to my new plywood subfloor makes this assembly perfect for tile. as long as you don't move the trailer. Cheers!

Hey Jeff great craftsmanship. Just curious though, was the blade still spinning when you moved the cut piece at 2:09:21? Because that looked super dangerous, and honestly it’s often the little things that we habitually do without realizing that cause us injury. Just edifying your safety. 👍🏼💯

[@johnr.french4982]

Good that you can keep your chipper attitude even after being jilted by orange and blue on the thinset that you needed, at a time you were low on energy without lunch Very frustrating. The story is that even the store managers don't control inventory at their own orange or blue outlet (!). Inventory at every outlet is tracked at the home office via computers, so if the screen on somebody's desk says any particular big box has sufficient inventory in stock (even if the manager says the shelf is empty), then that's it. You don't get resupplied until the computer says you need it. In this instance, probably there was a "run" on thinset from local contractors, so you were out of luck. Fortunate that you could find what you needed at F&D, even if you had to drive to Orlando to get it. My opinion is F&D is the place to go, even if it's farther away.

[@anouarerriha3053]

Usually you check the walls before starting the tile also you found out the layout before you started installing tile . I’m wondering if the design in the tile is matching everywhere

[@anouarerriha3053]

Also you should do floor and bench and the shelve first so tile seats on top of it and you don’t see ugly gaps

Great video as always. But we never got to see the finished boxed lighting and how shines into the shower. You talked about it in the first video. How did you finish it. Would love to see the whole bathroom completed

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I used a little piece of clear light box lens. I have yet to do my punch list which includes the sealant around that light box. Cheers!

Hi Jeff, thank you so much for sharing your videos they have been very helpful during my DIY bathroom remodel. I was wondering if you could share the drainage and bench products, I didn't see the link. Thanks!

Love the education and video! Just curious, why use hardie backer board for the shower walls instead of Kedri board? Also, I have seen lots of guys who use hot mop, but I like the idea of a different system. Just trying to understand mixing different methods together. Thanks in advance!

Great teacher. It’s like watching Noah build the Arch 😂.

[@aaronwhite1786]

What about plastic razors for scraping the tiles clean after you've mounted them? I like to use them for glass cooktops and windshield cleaning, where I don't want to scratch it up.

Lookin' good Jeff! you look liked you've slimmed down a bit. Been watching for a while now.

[@patrickkillion4416]

I appreciate you calling out measurements in SAE considering you are Canadian

[@geoffbooker2965]

You've got me just about to being confident to start this exact project. I'm not a complete novice but I'm definitely not as seasoned as you are.😳 Great video though!

[@suzannebonham583]

Thank you so very much for sharing so generously all your knowledge and expertise. I appreciate that you want things done the right way.

[@johnfinn2638]

where did you get foam for the floor been looking but no luck

[@knjbennett]

Did anybody ever find out how to buy the grey foam material used for the shower pan???

[@johnfinn2638]

@@knjbennett nope

[@cheddarcheese]

What is the flooring "tiles" called? Thanks a bunch!!

[@chlero_eyes]

I'll watch 3 - 4 hrs of your content with no intentions of building anything 😂

[@stephenkern6523]

hhahahahaahhahahaha i do the same thing!!!

[@user-qx3ph3xb6l]

I have every intention to do similar remodel, the price of hiring someone is crazy

[@brandonhoffman4712]

I charge $40/hr. I have critiques, I've only watched 2 minutes and 38 seconds. The hardi needs to be tight and right, redgard is an inferior product that readily fails commercial flood tests. And accent bands in showers are dated like Microsoft Windows 98. Here's my contract pricing Framing adjustment (flatten walls) as needed/desired $8/sqft Hardi backer $8/sqft Waterproofing $4/sqft Tile installation $45/sqft Mosaic installation $65/sqft Trim installation (schlueter $1/lnft) tile ($15-20/lnft) Grout $5/sqft Epoxy/technical grout $10/sqft Caulking $5/lnft Everything takes time. Quality is the name of my game. And my work sells my future work. People see what I do and want it. I currently work through a few licensed contractors that battle for my time. I view building code as a reference, not a guide. Something to exceed, not meet. The only time I meet building code, is when I have to. The rest of the time I'm beating it, often by leaps and bounds.
