Nice one boys. As a plumber Scott next bathroom just cut the pvc drain pipes out of the way and duct tape the ends, same as the water pipes buy push on copper caps. Saves you blokes tripping over them and trying to work around something we will renew anyway

[@leerandall1328]

I was taught never put plastic down a drainage pipe in case it got away. Use paper instead. Paper eventually rots, so no blockages. Also I use duct tape and push on caps as well. Love ya work.

[@more.power.]

Smoko times is a great time to talk over the job and natter to your wok mate. I use to work in a big engineering workshop and quite often you never got to see the sandblaster guy the paint as they were up the other end of the shop floor. I worked in the machine shop as a fitter and turner. Love your work Scott you have inspired me to do some repairs around the home.

I always find it funny what a high bar builders have to get over in terms of inspections but plumbers can just come a long and hack through any inconvenient joist and 🦗

[@davidbrewer7937]

I doubt that licensed plumber did that....more like a well intention DIY job done cheap & not a good one at that! Proper skilled trades do things properly. Decent trades do not want to have to come back & fix something they did wrong. Bodgers do bodge jobs & create more headaches than they fix, then they typically are gone with the tail lights of the truck, never to be seen again. I reckon half of the work I take on here in Canada involves removing something which was done the wrong way, usually fairly recently. In the case of showers & bathrooms, they always leak, squeak, crack & reek...You gotta have substantial, overkill framing under there for tile because it is HEAVY. Then you have to remember that a bath tub on top will add another 120lbs of water then a 250lb person & it absolutely must not move a single mm....EVER...!

Love my Grabo suction cup! You’ll love it once you use it on large format tile setting

[@lucjanszulik7354]

I envy those construction techniques you guys have in NZ. In Europe everything takes aaaages cuz of traditional building techniques (bricks, cement all that crap). I like my shower plate to have a minimum slope, like 3-4mm on 1m in direction of this hole... don't know this word in EN... you know, so water would escape a lil bit better.

Hi Scott! I recently bought a house here in Sweden and your videos have helped me alot in renovating. Thanks for the content!

[@arpa592]

Don't follow too far, you need lot better insulation there. No offence Scott.

[@chornii_boumer7324]

Hey Scott, since you had the floor totally stripped and the floor joist also. Why didn't you install the new joist at a level so you wouldn't hat to build that ramp to enter the washroom later on in the project?

[@hsfest]

So the floor levels remain the same as the rest of the house? Obvious common sense question

[@hsfest]

Or are you talking about the shower area? It has to be like this so water can drain.. I haven’t even watched the video yet but this is common sense that water has to drain away and that it has to be connected to existing floor levels

[@chornii_boumer7324]

@@hsfest I’m talking about the bathroom floor. The shower has it’s own pan. Perhaps there wasn’t a possibility to put the floor even lower so the tiled floor matches the timber one later.

[@davetaylor4741]

Usual bathroom crap. The joist cut out is par for the course I am sure they teach plumbers that all over the World. I have even seen a main bearer cut to a third with a 4 inch pipe through it. Well you have to get falls. Years ago in the UK it was quite common to glue tiles to the wood. No cement boards back then. The walls were often ply in wet areas as well tiled straight over so like your old bathroom all glued to wood. The new layout has to be better than the old that was crazy.

[@MrTooTechnical]

Kick ass

[@Baudesign]

Lot’s of renovation work to be done in this beautiful country of yours.

[@andrew5792]

Random question, what's going to happen with the window that is now in the middle of the shower pan?

[@kimli88]

probably some sticky clouding film gets applied on the lower half at least

[@andrew5792]

Kimli L - it's not about the window being see through, it's about being able to waterproof the inside of the opening so that water does not work it's way into the wall cavity. Otherwise you end up with rot like what was at the side of the old shower pan. I have see windows in showers before, but they are normally set higher in the wall above where they would be subject to direct water spray.

[@firesurfer]

[@cdurkinz]

Does it never get cold or hot there? I remember you mentioning before insulation isn't popular there but it blows my mind every time I see inside your guys' exterior walls. Must just have so much noise in these houses, and if it does get cold or hot they must be power hogs to heat or cool.

[@yup3398]

This is a hundred year old house.

[@cdurkinz]

@@yup3398 That's fair but it seems to be common there.

[@brendonwalters4963]

They’re insulating as they renovate. They didn’t have insulation here in 1920 (other than the occasional wall you find stuffed with newspaper or something, but that hardly counts). Auckland is very mild and typically in nz/Australia rooms are heated individually, central heating is very uncommon.

[@rr824]

No Scott no... There is not a drop of plaster on those walls my friend. You have tape and jointed with surprise tape and jointing compound... The cheap way used on most new builds here in the uk . Personally I would by fully plastered/skimmed car more dhrable . More cost though.

[@brendonwalters4963]

Skim coating is pretty rare in NZ - and it probably would still be done with finishing joint compound, lol

[@benmillward7765]

How do you sort out contracts or agreements for these renovations. You would seem to need an awful lot of "wiggle room" for the wee surprises that seem to be endemic to old timber framed houses!?

[@tomahern8967]

A construction contract provides a legal binding agreement for the owner and builder that stipulates the executed works will receive the specific amount. It will also stipulate on how variations will be distributed. There are several types of contracts used in the industry. The most common one used is a fixed price.

[@davidbrewer7937]

Hey Scott, do you guys get any nasty critters under your crawl spaces down there? I know Australia has some really dangerous snakes & spiders which can lurk in dark, dank, cool places like that so what's the nasties like in NZ?...

[@tutekohe1361]

No nasties here in NZ. There is the odd White-Tail Spider, a recent import from Australia, but otherwise nothing. You can stick your fingers anywhere and be confident you won’t get stung, or bitten.

[@davidbrewer7937]

@@tutekohe1361 Lucky! Here in Canada we have medium sized things which will let you have it when cornered in the dark like raccoons, skunks, porcupines, all of which are "physically" active & also carry rabies. They are a problem mostly because they break in destructively, then shew up stuff while making the place stink with urine & feces. Red squirrels are the real housebreakers & chewers... We do have a couple of snakes but the poisonous ones are extremely rare. Insects are the most unpleasant. Black flies eat chunks of you in spring, mosquitoes are a horrid, itchy menace, especially in the dark like a crawl space. Wasps have to be the most common & unpleasant... Their stings seem to have become a lot more potent in the last few years. A sunny roof space is almost guaranteed to have a nest waiting for you. The underground varieties are very aggressive & their stings swell up like a tennis ball. Bang a fence post in one of those & you will know it! These nests are also difficult to kill off, surviving being sprayed, burned, smoked & washed out. The best way I used before in the UK is a powder called Cymag which produces cyanide gas. A spoon full in the hole then a turf placed on top in the evening does the trick but I have never seen it here in Canada.
