[@MikeSuttonXerox]

Jeff, I work at a Lowe’s as a flooring specialist and I sell a lot of installations. One of the things I learned from our installers is that they prefer to always finish out using sanded caulk in lieu of unsanded caulk because they say it finishes out smoother. This is even when they have used unsanded grout. I am very grateful for your channel and the information you share other than the fact that you’re not near any Lowe’s in your area 😆! I have learned a lot watching you and I use the information to direct a lot of DIYers How to do projects by themselves. I also referred many of them at least three or four times daily To watch your channel for specific projects they’re getting ready to do. Thank you for simplifying things for the rest of us.

[@27neverlose]

I cant believe how fast your channel has grown. Thanks for explaining the "why" on lots of DIY steps. Some of this stuff seems like common sense once youve done it 100x, but for a layman, its the difference between a useful video and just a video that triggers more questions than when you started.

Thanks for the tip on the Lash Tile leveling and spacer system. I am doing a shower with 12x24 tile and I can see how this is going to make a difference. Hadn't even heard of it before this video. Went out and bought it at Home Depot!

[@lou196t]

Excellent instructional video Jeff. That shower looks amazing.👍 I had my bathroom renovated along with my kitchen by a contractor. I had the tub removed and had a shower put in with the same nooks and seat. I love it. No more worrying about falling in the tub getting in and out. 👍 The shower is not a job I wanted to do. I have done my own backsplash twice. That’s enough for me.

Yes, your work seems professional, and I learned more of your video. I didn't know about installing the top stone by the glass, one thing I won't do is get all walls with grout and had to clean all. It will be easier to do small area only since spacers are small, also grout penetratesthe stone sometimes. Less work. Love the spacers and how to align the stones. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.

Gutting a walk in, similar to yours, including the bench. This whole series is just the ticket for me. Always been a drier. I need to accommodate handicapped rails and handles. I am in Florida and this shower is on an outside wall. After gutting, I am down to the thermal barrier. Will add another layer and also insulate both bedroom walls before doing the cement board. I have ALWAYS said I never want to take apart any project I have done. This one will be overkill, even tho this is a one story built on concrete. THANKS.

I’m about to do a very similar project but it’s a tub surround. I’ve read that it’s better to start on the second tile row to ensure the tile is level. Is that less of a concern when starting at the floor? Obviously a laser level helps. Nice niche tutorial

Question: Why did you not have to put the waterproofing on the entire wall? I've never seen it done like this but can see that it can save on the expense of waterproofing where it is not needed. Is there a formula for determining how far out from the shower head the waterproofing need to go out? Love all your videos and I've learn so much. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@joetaylor010]

He mentioned in the video on backer board installation that he was using what he had left from a previous job, and as this isn't a steam shower he wasn't terribly concerned about waterproofing the entire shower and just wanted enough waterproofing so that typical splashes had a route back to the shower pan.

[@jasperchieng]

To prevent the humps in the wall, you're supposed to shim out the studs with cardboard shims before installing the backer. Makes your job super easy. Also, you're supposed to start with the back wall first and start in the center. Also, with any tile over 18", you're supposed to use a 1/2" trowel. Sooo much "wrong" in this video.
