Thanks for watching, if you found this video helpful please subscribe! Watch to see see how I turned this nightmare into a functional and gorgeous shower renovation that would've cost 15K for only 3K 👉🏼kzbin.info/www/bejne/apjcmItvaJx_l7c Cheers!

[@scottvickers2348]

Thanks for the video - what did you spay the mold/mildew with on the drywall? The white stuff?

[@-sensibleChris]

Why doesn't anyone use pressure treated plywood and subflooring in bathrooms?

[@zm4202]

What year is the modular or mobile home?

[@user-fc1zs1wh9g]

you shouldn't of screwed this you should of made sweet love to it

[@user-fc1zs1wh9g]

im the plumber that put the drain on ... my wife and kids left me the day before and it was a friday so i wanted to get to MOE'S

[@rraymond2007]

“ if it doesn’t have any integrity and you leave it there, then neither do you..” well said!!

[@suecoady8017]

I am a 73 yr old lady. Been doing this kind of stuff since I was 21. 100 yr old houses to my current IN FLORIDA. This house is 40 yrs old. Been here 21 yrs. Built on a slab. Currently on my LAST project. Ok, last big project. I started a whole bath project 3 yrs ago. Came apart just like yours. The outside tiled wall of the shower, 6 feet wide, was built on lathe. Cinderblock, lathe, 3/8 wallboard, and finally thinset, and I do mean thin and tile. Welcome to Florida. The home of the quick build, Fold business, move to next town.. Oh, i forgot, the floor tile was set flat with the drain raised above. Had to broom the water to the drain after showering. I am going to stop now. What I have taught my girls, is if you don't have time to do it right, when are going to have time to do it over!

[@TheFizz263]

Love that bit of wisdom.

[@fatboy54100]

Retired HVAC contractor I gotta say love your humor and how you keep it clean I would love to hear the true X-rated version plug how you can keep your cool is so hard to do when you see some of the shit you do. Anyway, I love the channel bro take care God bless. You are a great instructor. The average Joe and Joey need this channel

[@tayzonday]

These are so helpful to watch. Way more captivating than any Netflix show 💪

[@AdamS-lh2ug]

Here in MN, we do not use those crappy staples to secure wire. We use the white ones or if you want to be fancy you can get the clips that you can stack wires on, but they are not used, but our inspectors give us a little play, so I can get away with stacking 3 wires on top each other under a white strap. around here. We run our wire clean and neat and don’t need or use them. DIY’ers use them ans I recommend wago clips to DIY’ers as they are actually really friendly if you don’t know what you’re doing. Commercial, we don’t purchase them, but our lights will come with a different version of wagos that I don’t think I’ve ever seen on you tube.

[@awesomecoolfilmz8420]

Bro you are everywhere. CHOCOLATE RAIN

Chocolate rain. Some reno easy, but others feel the pain.

Glad you like them! Cheers Tay!

[@joshtheonlyone]

YES

[@poolatka]

this is my favorite Homerenovision video.... its like a guy we love and adore had one day where he woke up extremely hungover and continued to deliver high-quality infotainment for the masses.

[@jasonbay13]

i'm an electrician, but i was asked to repair a bathroom floor by someone i regularly do computer work for. i reluctantly agreed, i cut the spongey section of the floor and ripped it up. what i found i couldnt believe. the bathroom was on the outside corner of the house and the floor was spongey away from the toilet. when i ripped up the floor i found the floor joist to be disintegrated almost 2ft from the outside wall, pulled the bottom half of the wall off to find the wall studs rotted almost 2ft up also. nothing of substance besides dirt and roots where there should be load bearing framing holding the load bearing walls up and connecting the floor joist that was no more. i pulled back the insulation and i was seeing the neighbors block building (7"away from the house). noticing the extreme water damage i went outside and found the problem was the neighbors building gutters hadnt been cleaned in ~30 years. every drop of water from the large building and the house roof was going into the load bearing wall. even worse is that the bathroom was remodeled less than 10 years prior and new wood was installed under the toilet, screwed into the rotting joist and called good enough without ever finding out why it was all rotted away, to continue rotting away. not being bonded and insured i called it quits, fortunately still getting paid for the demo work.

[@jessicaklein4389]

I have an INSANE bathroom reno happening….all because we needed to change a toilet! Your mending of the floor just gave me the solution to a problem that has had me stalled for almost a year!!! Thank you!!!

[@evergladesfl]

"If it doesn't have any integrity and you leave it there, neither do you." That is a quotable quote.

[@sesolar5854]

From a total DIYer Your analysis and explanations are superb. Walking us through every single step of making your wall foundation solid, parallel and plumb - excellent. No one holds their audiences attention better. Enjoying everything you oroduce. Thank you

[@JoshLloyd]

Your channel's videos are really helping me out as a new homeowner starting with DIY projects. I really appreciate that you go into details and don't abuse the viewer's time with any fluff or nonsense.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

no worries. not gonna sell food or website development on this channel. Cheers!

[@pjespinal5037]

You're honesty and humor are lovely! I appreciate candor & wit and you, sir- Have it in all Aces!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Check back next Thursday to watch me rebuild this entire bathroom! Cheers

[@rubenlopez3222]

Thanks for the reply,

[@Dirtyharry70585]

Belt sandpaper faster and smoother than that block. Then dry fit and mark the fittings to pre glue them the to right position

[@KelikakuCoutin]

I'm going to do this to my bathroom; thanks! I have a water heater closet on the other side of my shower/tub, that I want to consolidate into the bathroom. I was going to remove the tank water heater and replace it with a tankless. So I can make the closet less than half the size, then come in from the other side with a project similar to what you're doing. The tankless is so much smaller than my old style tank water heater. I want to put in a larger tub; also the vanity is built for someone who's about four feet tall as well. So I'd like to put the sink in about a foot higher and then the larger tub. I've already replaced the old kiddie toilet with an ADA compliant "throne" and it's incredible how great it is now. I'd like to tile everything in with a classic tile bathroom, maybe even a ceramic wall heating unit (for drying off after a bath or shower) would be nice too. I want a nice big tub that I can fit into and completely submerge into. I want to also get rid of the mono-handle mixer unit and replace that with an old style, two-handle, with separate hot and cold valves. My vanity has that too, and I dislike that very much. I want two handles, one hot and one cold with a mixer in between. Thanks again for this project recording, it's really got me inspired, your situation in this job site is so similar to my situation - a 1970s 1x3 modular mobile-style bathroom.

[@leanneb6622]

@homerenovisiondiy My sister just had a glass shower wall shatter. Do you know best place to get replacement glass in Ottawa and surrounding area?

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Gotta love mobile homes. Particle board and staples

[@abvincent12]

I had to have my entire house plumbing redone Dec 2023 - it was caste iron from 1962 and was crumbling. Jackhammers, ruined walls, floors, metal soot throughout and weeks later it is done. I have remodeled two homes and it was the worst project I have ever endured!

[@markshade8398]

"If it doesn't have any integeity and you leave it there, neither do you.". That was great!

[@peteasmann8269]

When cutting tubs make sure your blades are short to avoid other side wall damage.

[@cashflo522]

During the tear out, it sure looks like all the quality building practices in a mobile home. 2x3 studs, lots of staples, particle board floors, and sheetrock with wallpaper on the ceilings.

[@flickboogers9325]

Taught me how to use pliers properly! Love this dude!

[@lisafeck1537]

Me too. I hope I remember the next time I have them in hand.

[@Digidoc316]

That subfloor looks better than mine did before I remodeled it! Rotted 3/4" subfloor, floor joists rotted completely through, and cast iron drains repaired with duct tape! All new floor joists, 6/4" subfloor glued and screwed together, and glued & screwed to the floor joists. All new CPVC supply lines and all new PVC DWV lines.

[@-clif1987]

Sorry I laughed a lot here. Duct tape. Curious Why not pex? I’ve seen how brittle that piping gets with time I don’t mess with it.

[@Digidoc316]

​@-clif1987 didn't have the materials or tools on hand. Have since picked up PEX-B tools and supplies

[@mzj2998]

Lol at 4:41! Glad you're ok, but thank you for leaving that in the video. Love your videos

[@johndudash2579]

Always impressed with your common sense, do it right, clear instructive,informative quality of your workmanship. And to teach at the same time. You are a genius in my world! Thanks

[@pauls9263]

I have learnt something every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for making these both interesting and informative.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers!

[@bubashalom8274]

You're all right man; your the best guy I've ever seen, so true, and spot on! I really appreciate your work, and all the tips you give us, and I have learned a lot from you because you care for us out here. Thanks man, your all right. Thank you very much brother!

[@martyvanord984]

LOL you reminded me of building a built in book case with top lighting and of building a level drop cieling over a pair of windows. In both cases level looked crooked. Awesome coverage of your topic as usual. It is never wrong if adjustment can be made!

[@phillipstallter9018]

Mobile homes😅 gotta lovem . Staples, glue, bubblegum and zip ties. Mine is 30 years old, finding all the “workmanship”.

[@joeevett9007]

If you are reinforcing with an additional board you can use wood petrifier on the other beam as some added piece of mind.

[@threecatsdancing]

Hehehe, just from the intro I can say, been there, done that, and OMG had I actually sitting for 3 years on a moldy, rotted out floor joist that broke when we pulled out the toilet? Yes, yes I had been.

[@oakeybird]

Love the Spray Foam. It will last forever. Nice job guys!

[@davisbhec1088]

I would advise to check the solvent used for the supply line to the shower head. If that is CPVC, I believe the incorrect glue was used. The purple primer and clear solvent is used for the DWV PVC piping, but not for CPVC. CPVC uses a yellowish glue.

[@josephvanderwal3692]

CPVC also expands from hot water causing many leaks in buildings that used them for water lines.

[@stevenkeeffe9137]

I couldn't begin to tell you how many of your videos I've watched over the past few years... but I can certainly tell you I'm appreciative of seeing one of your bathroom projects go exactly as well as one of mine. Expect the worst, and when it happens, at least it wasn't unexpected. Edit for a p.s.: Welcome to the Southern States! Humidity and moisture, existence is pain!

[@kcampos1229]

Luv ur channel u really make it look easy wish i can hire u after these last workers messed up my floors n never came back ripped us off since then cant trust anyone in our area😅😅

[@realityassured]

Why no dust mask nor eye protection? I'm a DIY enthusiast along with my wife and two young sons, recently my daughter is showing some interests and safety is my number one priority teaching them the different formats, especially in demolitions of the houses we flip and renovate! We do use heavy tools and equipments and it's absolutely necessary to develop safety practices in any DIY projects!

[@darinjohnson3671]

Thanks for creating the content you do. I am going to be taking out my. Shower eventually and gutting the flooring and taking out the vanity and replacing the walk in Shower with a bathtub surround. I do not like Tile I just find it gets very hard to clean over the years. So making some small changes this year as this is a renovation I am doing in parts with my Bedroom. This year taking out a wall that had electrical and re-routing it and also looking at the electrical I have and seeing if it makes sense to re do my electrical or not. My bathroom the pot lights found a junction box, so will re re-doing the electrical and running a new line. So doing this in stages. Plus need to re-do my blinds in my room as well. I love. your content never learned very much as so hard to find someone I can trust, which you are one of the few. Keep it up with the great content. When I do the majority of my work I always have an electrician check my work I know who is licensed. Three things I do not play with is: Electrical, Water or Gas. I get professional to check it or in some cases do the entire job. If I can pull the lines and run new lines I will.

[@dukeman7595]

Hate to imagine what this job is going to cost this cat, however, the workmanship is absoutely superior and one gets what one pays for.

[@artemzhirkov7565]

Workmanship? He had to laminate, properly, the second joist too, not attach some thin sticks to it. More construction glue had to be applied. Per code, he had to put rows of wood screws spaced 6 in, not 16.

[@Melissa-bq4oo]

I really love your videos and practical commentary for home owners. I listen to all the advice, thank you for posting this stuff!

[@kendv4299]

Another great video. I like your sense of humour....even when things don't go smoothly. Like when the PVC vent pipe breaks (around an hour in) You say: "It's going to be one of those days" :) Hilarious.

[@Mar-sz2ug]

I have a floor removal for you. Old enough it was the old small hexagonal white tile with the black ones for accents. Now, you would think like most normal tile floors its over a layer of mortar over a subfloor base of some sort right? Especially in a hundred plus year old house. I should have known something was up, no cracks anywhere. Started demo. NO Subfloor. 4" of concrete. The floor joists was tapered at the top and the concrete was 1.5" over and rest below. With boards holding that up. That was the first and only time i have ever seen that.

[@MyDadCanFixAnything]

Eye protection ftw ma man. Safety third! That vent DOES need to be water tight as there is probably not any protection on the roof (The pipe is probably open at the top) which means rain will get in and drain through the system. Also, that's not CPVC, that's just PVC. The yellow water lines are CPVC, which are rated for pressure, PVC, for drains, is not.

[@kennethricher45]

The shower trim kits are extremely affordable at your BOX stores. Do not go to Ferguson or you’ll be paying triple the price. Menards and Home Depot carry them for $19.99 - $49.99 based on brand and finish.

[@markshields9284]

love watching you work!

[@bradgingrich4505]

I'm working on a mobile home bath renovation myself....good job you're doing there..

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers Brad!

[@Yoyo1119]

Remember to screw everything down, or else it'll be screwed up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 genius 👏 👍 Sir, thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

[@BigSunday512]

Great video very informative. On those couplers I seen someone cut the ridge out the inside center of it then just slide it past put the pipe in place then slide it back up.

[@joeburner7120]

They make slip couplings. Slide it all the way down, line up pipes and slide up so it’s at center where 2 pipes meet, done!

[@mercurybird9711]

Love how the hard rockin' music started when the power tools came out!

[@michaelvongiersbach7726]

I'm replacing subfloor in a mobile home right now. I bought a "toe kick saw" from Harbor Freight. It cuts nearly flush against the wall/bottom plate, giving a nice clean no-gap install.

[@michaelvongiersbach7726]

Harbor freight tools are generally not high quality, but for a non professional it's a relatively inexpensive tool that will give quality results for the anal retentive.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Great tip!

[@tjjohnson210]

I have a question for you. I get these kinds of jobs all the time. How do you deal with the customer? Do you bid a job and tell the customer it's contingent on the shape it's in? I often jokingly tell people I'm a repair specialist, repairing repairs previously done by an idiot. But it's so true!. Thanks for making these vids. They keep me aware and thinking. You have to be open to learning new things and I've learned a few things from you, thank you for that!

[@jeffhammaker1994]

Need some Gloves when demo'ing the shower. That fiberglass is sharp

[@JagdtMirage]

Is this a re-upload ? I remember seeing this before all the way through the custom build & neon pink waterproofing... then the nice grey & white tile.

[@chubbinator35]

More like a re-edit, its annoying...

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

We put the entire project together for the folks who like to watch from beginning to end in one video. Cheers

[@troybush5899]

@ 24:18 CODE (IRC 502.8) allows joists to be notched (cut out up to 1/4 of the width) on the ends where it is bearing ...For example, a 2x10 (~9.5 inches) can be a 2 x 7.25 on the ends.

[@SQTierHog]

Thanks for all the money saving advice you've given throughout the years! I've subbed for quite a while, however, decided to 'join', time to give back a little.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Wow! You didn't have to do that. Cheers my friend! Welcome to the DIY Crew

[@mcsmith7606]

It isn't a house; it is a mobile home. They were made with 1x 3 to make them light enough to tow on the highway. Codes for mobile homes changed after 1974. The staples are from the factory. You will see the drywall seams in the ceiling are mudded but have lattice covering the joint.

[@JD9RX830]

Great video! I’m about to remodel one of my bathrooms. At 37:04, that pvc joint slid apart, you pushed it together but it slid apart again. I hope there’s enough there to hold.

[@trentvlak]

lol good catch

[@juzoli]

I can’t believe I watched this instead of a movie. No regrets!:)

[@luanamendes4767]

I’m slightly concerned that you are not wearing a mask considering the amount of mold and rot. Be safe out there, fascinating video!

[@daxc1972]

More concerned by the lack of safety glasses.

[@robertrdell8898]

While I was a plumber's helper helping my brother the master plumber, I screwed up by running a screw into a pipe. He told me that you need to add a metal barrier on the stud to protect the plumbing inside the stud. One question, why not use titebond glue instead of construction glue?

[@DJcromestyle]

Nothing beats experience ..Solid 🎉

[@AlexanderRobinson-zy6je]

do you happen to have a longer drill bit you can use? lol just teasing! thank you for the continued grade A content you put out. I learn so much from watching your videos.

[@joshtheonlyone]

I leaned a lot thank you.

[@other9293]

Thanks!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Cheers!

[@mako757]

awesome content, very helpful and ideas for my bathroom,

[@tabrizlioglan]

Hey Buddy, thanks for nice videos. I am a remodeling contractor too, and I have recently remodeled entire old townhouse in Reston, Virginia. You can't belive what kind shit hole was this house. Just to want to tell you if you want to connect a vent PVC together and you don't have room to play with PVC pipe, just use rubber connector. I am sure you know about it but maybe your were just so tired or didn't have rubber cuppling handy.

[@survivingthetimes]

I absolutely love DIY'ers and big box home improvement stores. Over half the work that I get is because someone watched a video 10 years ago and thought that they were tradesmen.

[@michaelgonzalez8863]

I own a few mobile homes in Wilmington NC and I have done this before and have one that I will be doing in a couple months. Its reassuring to see I have followed the same fundamentals as you . Thanks for the time saving tips !

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

That is awesome!

[@situatedillness]

HAHAHAHA when you fell and the look on your face and the way you held up I started rolling. Then it hit slow mo. Good save

[@jeffvera-jonessanabria5546]

@HoneRenoVisionDIY Jeff, love your videos! I got OCD’ed when I saw the romex get pinched behind that 2x near the water supply for the shower. Again love your videos- keep doing you -dude

[@cebuanostud]

4:35 Great save, Mr. 😁😆🤣

[@ryanfinn5844]

I love watching your videos, they have helped my wife and I do our bathroom reno. Just about done tiling the shower, then moving on to floor tile. Your videos have given us the tools we need to do this ourselves. Thank you!!

[@als1668]

That bathroom now also functions as a bunker in case of a natural disaster 😂. Awesome content as usual, Jeff! This was more instructive than a trades class.❤

[@Dwayne-mb2uj]

You think that is funny but I has to demo a bathroom shower in Burbank Ca built in about 1950 by a tile and concrete man who was very proud of his work it took 10 trash cans of tile and mesh and concrete to get down to the studs .I think it could have withstood anything.

[@VCR1111]

4:36 is why this is my favorite channel. What a laugh I've just had. It's the little things.

[@smittyjones8755]

Looking at the bottoms of your shoes reminds me of one of my big gripes about new athletic shoes. That cheap ass foam soles instead of using rubber, damn things wear out extremely fast and become slick as hell.

[@DavidShort-ov5vb]

I’ve used a circular saw to cut out the shower walls, when did not have a reciprocating saw. It worked fine.

[@hommefrancais]

Hey Jeff good to see you're still working down south. How do you avoid having your batts just being filled with humidity and losing all their R Value when the crawlspace is not encapsulated? Especially in Florida, I'm in Georgia and even in the winter the humidity stays trapped under my house. 1957 built and flipped with no sort of insulation at all under the house or the roof.

[@tamikanning]

I hope you are in florida for a certain reason…freeeeedom! Your videos are great and give me more confidence to do my renovations on a hundred year old house!

[@roberttroop3437]

If I had to guess, you're working on a double wide alot of what you're seeing as far as staples is standard practice,it just surprises me to see PVC pipe i would have figured it'd be ABS. Have fun with this project you're going to see a lot of stuff that doesn't sense

[@catsmeow5566]

I'm going to have to do something similar with a vent. I have one vent through the roof but only one fixture is connected to it- although it's not even connected correctly. I'm removing the thing that is connected now (an old toilet) and connecting a tub and a toilet (from different locations). Pretty sure the vent is PVC rather than CPVC. It's too white to be CPVC. All of my outdoor waterlines are PVC so I've had to do a LOT of repairs with them. I did replace some with PEX after I tripped and fell on a bunch of pipes in the pump house and broke them. I've had to draw the line & decided to stop trying to make things perfect and just dealt with imperfect walls because it was taking too much time/effort and causing too much aggravation. I was told by an inspector (the one who oversaw the installation of a new septic tank and field lines) that I don't need permits to renovate out where I live. So long as I'm not touching the actual septic tank or the last few feet of sewer line that goes into it, I'm good. I'm not going to move or remove any vents-- as I said, I only have the one. Ending this comment while I watch the rest of the video. I keep getting interrupted.

[@lisiatepalu7737]

Thankyou for the sharing Thankyou

[@alexstenschewski8342]

Hello, My name is Alex. Thanks for all the KZbin videos, you show when things are going well and you also show your mistakes too, I enjoy watching your videos you make. I have a question regarding kitchen renovation. I have bought an apartment and first need to do a kitchen renovation and the walls are wooden studs and plasterboard. I need to move the washing machine and dishwasher from one wall to another wall closer to the water draft from the wall. Also have to run new electrical wires, this only applies to the lower cabinets. Instead of plasterboard, I am thinking of having a plywood board of 15mm. I'm thinking more about whether there will be water damage and electrical outlets for the washing machine and dishwasher. Also thinking about removing the old tile along with the plasterboard and then putting up a new plasterboard to put up a new tile. Do you have any comments regarding this work? You may have a better option. Grateful for answers.

[@georgeknight2676]

Yellow pipe is cpvc and has to be glued with yellow cpvc glue no primer needed.

[@trentvlak]

why would cpvc need different glue than pvc?

[@jtmcfarland3512]

Have you considered getting a reaming pen (aka deburring tool)? They’re cheap and handle the rough PVC edges much better than a utility knife.

[@reamiger1]

If you need a project (well at least 3+ [deck stairs, 2 different bathrooms(one already demo'd, concrete slab for backyard, 12x14 Gazebo kit), re-roofing a back shed] work on in Western Washington state. Reach out. =), comes with a place to stay too.

[@diegosanchez-pw6pb]

Would love a video on how to read the blueprints for the rough

2 inch vent pipe is not CPVC. Just PVC. No hub coupling used with no wiggle room. FYI CPVC requires different glue than PVC.

Hi! I just found your channel, very useful content, thank you, I learned a lot. Only I think it was better to cut those cables by cutting wire by wire, that way if they are energized you will not create short circuit risking harming yourself or damaging your tools

I am jealous of you doing that project, I love building wooden floors, and walls like that,

I recently had to do complete, repair sistering of my kitchen floor. This part of the house was built basically on the ground I assume it was a porch years ago and then it got enclosed, then sometime later a second floor was added as well, 14 X 10 is the size of it. My point is the insulation of the floor part. Now you are in a hotter place the here in PA, so maybe it is different here. I did not put any insulation in after I saw what had happened to the part where someone insulated before in two sections. It was full of all kinds of living creatures. I also saw on line that the insulation attracts mice and rodents since they will use it for nesting, even the fiberglass. The other reason was that it was suggested to have some kind of air flow under there to keep it from rotting. So when you put insulation in the floor I wondered about that, but maybe with a crawl space it works out OK.. Also in my case I used pressure treated lumber so I figured any glue would not hold since they were still pretty wet and the old parts were very dirty and some partly rotted. I did the best i could without having have a professional crew come and life the back part of the house and put in a real crawl space or basement. Of the people I did get to look at it before I did what I did, pretty much no one would work on it unless it had a crawl space. One that gave me a estimate something did not seam right about them and the price so I opened up myself. Took about 120 hours but the floor is more solid then ever, and even and partly supported by 2 solid cement blocks on every joist then, then the former only hanging on the old rim joist. There was no rim plate and no wall or supports on the 14 foot span other then a cement block I found on one side around the middle and the ends had a pile of cement under them, so what I did was much better then it ever was and I think also relived part of the weight of the first floor on those outer 14 foot rim joist.

I'm looking for pump/ well and backflushing the house n washing machine for the sand a well guy pulled up into our water supply. Hoping everything can be backwashed. Water heater? Fine sand piles in the toilet tanks. 😔

First comment just reminded me of Chris Farley in Tommy Boy playing with the toy cars on the guys' desk. "Paramedic shows up and goes, "Oh, my God!"" lmao

Hahaha, when you move the wall on the right like that when putting a plywood in you know you are in the usa :) I had the same issue at my house. We have built it in 2017, the guy working on a sink in a shower also did not attached it properly and in 3 years I had 6m² of floor to replace. I had to replace the beams, fix the walls and all the floors. The mold just spread like crazy and I took the beams out with my hand, piece by piece! It took me 4 weeks to do it all properly. I never trust anyone again, ever! Thanks for an educational video :)

My husband removed the previous owners shower stall to also find studs on one wall where the water source was, and a electrical line to the room behind it, one unfinished drywall wall & half drywall and I think the dry wall is from the 1980s. The floor was pretty butcher beneath the shower pan. No fun.
