[@gregrichard9192]

Great job 👍 I've been wondering for some time now how this is actually done, then I came across your video. Great job once again

[@jhanawa]

Thank you! Taking on this project now and you have built up my confidence.

[@esterixis]

I'm a very visual learner, so this really helped. Thanks!

[@reefa7rasta880]

You made it seems so easy and your voice is so relaxing, no tension 👍👏

[@kellyzazzara1242]

Thank you guys, this video was incredibly helpful!

[@carltonpotts2866]

This was a great how to video! My wife and I are going to try this out.

[@faisalalmeshary4483]

Very elegant and useful work, thank you very much

[@pquach00]

Thanks for sharing. This tutorial gives me a pretty good idea of what to do.

[@likeOMFGitsJONNY]

Please bring back the weekender! I need more Monica!

[@michaellim4165]

We want weekender back!!!

[@reauchannrichardson147]

This was so helpful i need a new shower door for my bathroom

[@lavanyavijayaraghavan3120]

I'm missing the Weekender so badly that I don't mind watching Monica install a shower door... hope someone at Lowe's is taking note! :-) ;-)

[@Thisisnotmyname0116]

That door looks so much better! Great job :)

[@KenDebono]

At 10:52 you mention (again) that the sliding door track was screwed into the plastic shower threshold...that is risky since water is likely to get in there over time. IF you do drill it in place, please add a blob of clear mildew resistant silicone into the hole you just drilled and under the track to (hopefully) prevent water going into the hole over time - do all this before screwing it in place. Other glass door manufacturers and installers advise to use double sided tape to fasten that sliding door track (guide) in place, then silicone around it.

[@dickfeldman5609]

Uh they said to add silicone to the hole

[@Shostakovich33]

Ugh, come back to us Monica! This was awesome :-D

[@EastCoastCreative]

Thanks for watching! -Mon

[@rominhawk3949]

Hey; awesome presentation you both. Liked it very much. Thanks.

[@ope4r540]

Monica, please work on a shower stall that can be enclosed to provide a “steam-like” experience without an actual steam unit. I have concerns about dealing with builder grade shower walls. How do you deal with the steam if only part of the wall is tiled? How does one deal with the ceiling light above the shower stall? What kind of steam escape can be installed when all the shower doors don’t reach the ceiling? What kind of fan must be installed to deal with so much steam once the shower door is opened? So glad you can work magic to a builder grade bathroom. Love your work!!! 👍😉💕🤩

[@kellypruitt2362]

Will The Weekender come back with new videos? If your out of ideas, you can come to my house and help my rental. 😂

[@jewel2333]

Lol

[@blondebobbi4505]

Mine too!!! Or you can also come to my home!!!

[@mamafranklin]

This is exactly the project that I have up next on my "to do" list. Thankfully we don't need to remove the door!

[@lindapassos]

Monica was missing you!!!! When are you coming back with a Weekender new season? xxx PS Love your bathroom (remembering the initial video, your kids must be really grown up ;-) ) and the new shower door it's gorgeous

[@rayseidel7567]

Great video guys, this is definitely going to help me

[@judybesse4058]

Miss seeing your videos....love the door.

[@tory7142]

Awesome guide. Thanks a billion!!!

[@TheTerminator1919]

Very helpful video about what I'm confused about is when I go to look up shower doors or kits everything has a set size how do I get a custom size?

[@AnaCrafts]

Hi, love the weekender,please please came back Mônica

[@menaashley5619]

I cannot wait to do this!

[@sidvalluri1702]

What a great video. The best one by far on this topic!

[@Yupperino123]

More weekender episodes please!?!

[@kellyraaz]

What if the tile above our shower is about 3/4 inch thinner than the shower wall? Just go up to the shower walls?

[@hopeherron6536]

I have always wanted a shower door like this- lets in max light for us visually impaired folks!

[@janalaughlin2197]

We are planning exactly what you did here Inc,using maiming it taller. What did you do about the gap from the top of the shower line where the tile starts to the top of the vertical bar? It’s at least an inch. The door looks great but I’m concerned about that gap and water coming out both sides above where the shower liner ends.

[@knothardly4727]

Love it, thank you

[@abdorakeebnaji1527]

Nice job.thanks

[@CannedTunas]

Love Monica

[@tavy311]

I actually bought the dated shower from someone who has upgraded their shower...can I use the existing glass for a new frame? Thank you for this video?

[@curlycurly004u]

Love it!

[@GinaGina1029]

This looked really easy. Easier than I thought

[@JC-lw7gm]

[@maprangprangzaza8501]

[@peaceatferngully8369]

Lovely...thank you

[@mascotgibs9557]

We need the weekender back asap!!!!

[@EastCoastCreative]

Keep your fingers crossed!

[@futbol1972]

To install a bypass double door on those plastic showers kits with bathtub is it the same steps as far as drilling on the side for the rails? If I knock on the side of my shower walls it feels hollow inside. How would I install the side rails here, do I get longer screws?

[@abdulagungwijaya6807]

Do we need to put a water seal on the bottom glass ? I mean, it would not attach that perfect, because the door is not settle, i mean we can open and close it.. so it would not seal that perfect.. can we replace with any plat and attach it on the bottom side glass ?

[@parasramsingh8968]

Great job!

[@kenneythekoala]

what can you do if your shower is an odd width and they dont make shower doors that fit your space?

[@EtreTocsin]

Looks great

[@mattmcgratch9270]

Great job

[@6074740]

Nice.

[@YolandaTheGardener]

This is very helpful.

[@OthmanAlikhan]

Thanks for the video =)

[@stephenhelland3349]

Do you drill through the glass when attaching fixed panel to the wall track?

[@maryfernando7545]

Thank you. You bothe made it look so straightforward. I am not sure if I can find the frameless doors you put in here in Australia. Will go and do some searching.

[@Anna-qb9km]

I noticed that’s actually her house! I miss the Weekenderrrrr 😢

[@lorettanelson7230]

I have a tub shower with tile at top and fiberglass wall tub and want to install bypass tub shower doors, but at a height higher than the fiberglass wall unit. Will thus kit wirk fir me? What name brand kit did you use and will the kit work for a bathtub?

[@matcha.clouds]

Taking off the top part of the old frame looked kinda fun.

[@AMamasStory]

Monica! Your bathroom still looks fantastic. The new shower door is great. I miss The Weekender! This has gone on long enough...come on Lowes. This is torture!

[@samielynn22]

What about that space by the fixed door where the frame is taller than the fiberglass shower? It’s okay to leave that open? I ask because I’m installing a shower door and I have space on each side where the frame is taller than the fiberglass

[@johnhejl6719]

I wonder if this could be done with just one person for the thick floating shower doors..?

[@chihuahuasrule1175]

Can you do a video installing the other shower types?

[@michellelefebvre5]

Your video's are so cute and cool I'll rate it a 900088

[@JanieBgrand]

Always make it look so darned easy, but stuff always happens in my house!!

[@KENaaronLife]

When will the weekender come back????

[@faisalalmeshary4483]

We see all your beautiful works from the State of Kuwait in the Middle East

[@egeyag6310]

We want the weekender

[@pennylovejoy8542]

Could you do a video installing and building g a barn door?

[@nancylucas8555]

I bought a shower door kit from Lowes that is almost the same. It's very heavy--ours is in Chrome finish. It's beautiful, but it leaks on the front edge corner. I think my contractor installed the front edging wrong after watching this video.

[@jeremnis]

Can somebody explain to me abiut when to use the anchor and when not? Thanks

[@ldmorrison89]

I desire to change my shower door..especially after it mysteriously shattered one night. This seems so easy but I am nervous about the measuring, so I don't know what size door to order. I will have my sons to help. I'm gonna give it a go...😃

[@yolyramirez5507]

when is the weekender coming back?

[@katm41]

What cleans it the best?

[@rumik2836]

hi! l like your hair color 😍💁🏼

[@toddgill2338]

What do you do if your toilet happens to be on the same wall as your shower head/control lever? I would have to have the stationary glass panel next to the tub and shower head/lever and the sliding side on the opposite end, or I would not have easy walk in/walk out access to the shower - because the toilet would be in the way..... Yet, if I had the sliding panel on the opposite end of the shower head, wouldn't that expose the sliding door to water leakage between the glass panels when the shower is running?

[@kellybarrick1720]

It's been a year but....did you figure this out? I'm thinking the fixed panel needs to always be on the same side as the shower head....

[@fozomomo5734]

Weekender weekender weekender... Pleaseeee!!!

[@QueenOfKings0402]

Added to my list cause I haven’t found a shower curtain I liked

[@LuisGuzman-yc3ig]

Quarter or dime will work for the corners

[@aztecprincessno1]

I agree with everybody, bring the weekender back! 😉😉😉 On another note, I think Monica looks younger and prettier! 🥰 (I don’t mean to be nosy but, is she pregnant? She looks amazing!)

[@nikkig6225]

Did you use the same glass from the old shower??
