Instant transformation! GREAT JOB Steve!!!!

[@terrye6196]

Don't forget to turn off your power to the water heater (if electric), because if it were to automatically switch on somehow, then without water it could burn out an element. More than likely it wouldn't switch on but better tafe than sorry. Leave off until the water has been restored and the hot water lines are running freely indicating that the tank has refilled (if it drained).

[@88888gerald]

good idea....most water heaters fill from the bottom and draw from the top..so thats a safety concern but usually it wont be a problem..

[@banksiasong]

Beautiful craftsmanship, an artisan who takes pride and care in his work.

[@williammcconnell8141]

GOOD MAN GREAT JOB !

[@legendsfooddrinklegendsfoo3599]

Thank you 👍

[@tylerjbellows]

When cutting drywall with my oscillating tool, I like to use a curved blade or a blade that is 2" wide. A really dull blade won't even cut the poly! By far the best tool for the job.

[@williamcone7325]

Thanks!

[@Carolinagirl589]

Nice... Well done!

[@br31woodlands69]

Very nice.

[@SandraJane1972]

Fantastic video. Is there a video that shows this install? Thanks

[@chenzhu4737]

Hi Teacher I love the way you work thru all of your projects. I wish I can hire you to do my bath remodeling now. I am in Houston, Texas and I would like to hire someone who is as good as you are to do my tub to shower conversion. Can you recommend someone who lives in my area to do my project?

[@cecevalentine187]

Very nice job, love the shower. Makes the shower area look larger, I plan on converting my tub/shower combo to a walk in shower, it is much safer that climbing into the shower.

[@krallopian]

At 11:20 the dust on the video made me start to sneeze!?! Haha good video, very realistic!!

[@SandraJane1972]

NVMD I subscribed and see and your videos !! Thanks

[@RHRetro]

Any tips for tiling a shower with a wall that curves towards you near the top?

[@RevofOne]

Very nice video! Man, I wish the tub drains I have encountered came out as easily as that one did. They can be obnoxious!

[@jlilly8144]

You also need to be careful trying to remove one. I did mine yesterday due to a leak and it wasn't what I thought it should be. Got the drain removal tool, started turning it and it just spun and spun, never coming out. I noticed there appeared to be a nut in the middle of it with a hole in the middle. Well, come to find out it's a Geberit brand from the 80's. Remove that middle bolt and then you can pull the drain out. Could not find a replacement so had to reuse that until I can do the tub removal/walk in shower.

[@yellowlabblack]

thinking of doing this job an this showed me I can thanks will take your " 3 day course " Russ

[@arthurwood7525]

Well? DID you? How'd it go?

[@KayEhny]

Do you have the water off the whole time or cap the pipes in some way to not leave the house unusable for a couple days?

[@plonka591]

A shower drain is 2''. How did you convert from 1 1/2 to 2''

[@nancykennedy7206]

will the shower curtain keep the floors dry or should a glass door be installed?

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

[@here2enjoy-bt8jq]

How much do you charge for a project like this? And I prefer to add the glass partition as well, instead of just the curtain.

[@user-ie1cv5wy9w]

Hello sir, I want to take a course and work in this field. Can I learn from you? I reside in Houston, Texas

[@ERIKATAVERNARI]

Hello! Thank you very much for the video! Do you think that if the house only has one bathroom, would it add value to the house by removing the tub shower and transforming it to Walk-in Shower?

[@banksiasong]

I am only a buyer, and absolutely prefer a walk-in shower to a tub in a one wet room situation. Tubs popular with young romantics and families with very young children, walk-ins for every one else, and especially those with age or mobility issues.

[@peteniermeyer8558]

Be careful, most places have codes that prohibit removing the only tub. Here in Illinois, code dictates at least one tub per dwelling.

[@williamthank3805]

Is there any chance you'll have time for a trailer setup video? Thanks!

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Maybe some day. Not too many opportunities for that here. Not exactly sure the main difference is in many ways…maybe the framing used?

[@callieduval3000]

If you're ever in Georgia I would love for you to do my tub to walk in shower renovation thanks for sharing.

[@brianschrier6193]

How much do you charge for demo of that shower stall?

[@ToniBrown-fh8lz]

What if it has a top

[@richard-fy2mu]

Point of Order. Why not install shut off for entire bathroom so rest of house can go on? I have a major remodel of Bevis and Butte head do construction and why no valves on nearly any sink or such is what really fried me about this house my late sister bought. No Bleep valves so every problem means shutting of water entirely!

[@brianschrier6193]

Always install shutoff valves. Saves for future headaches be it you or the next guy.

[@mrtrenz]

Think you may need a triggering insulation installers short 😂

[@splanzza]

Just checking if you got small package from Atl? 👀 Tracking says it was delivered on Monday.

[@BathroomRemodelingTeacher]

Thanks so much 👍 was wondering who that was from 😆 look forward to trying it out 👍 thanks

[@splanzza]

@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher LOL Sent you an email as well so you don’t get surprised or freaked out. 🤣 Maybe it went into junk. Either way glad you got it. 👍

[@charlesmcadory8286]

A good drywall blade Dremel MM435 Drywall Jab Saw

[@benf1936]

After the tub is removed, could I turn the water to the house back on?

[@cupcakequeen6294]

No. Turn it on when you’re done and nothing is exposed

[@JoseRodriguezFrio]

Laser seems like overkill.... couldn't just use the level on 1 wall and duplicate the same level height around ?

[@brianschrier6193]

If you've got the tools, why not use them. Spoken from a guy without that tool.

[@brentd]

I would recommend leaving that mask on after you cut the fiberglass surround at least until you get the whole thing removed. Those particles don't magically disappear when the blade stops moving!

[@austinpierola7779]

Pretty sure he took his mask off to talk to the camera.. making a how to video, your watching it… “thanks for making the vid” will probably cover it

[@lionheart8551]

What??? You start a project as the title of your video says and in the beginning of it you stop and try to sell your course? WOW!

[@Miguel.Garcia]

Don’t forget to wear gloves

[@putinismaffiotstatec8725]

Remeber to wear safety socks for this demolition.
