Shower Plumbing Can of Worms!

Today, on day 4 of our barn house bathroom renovation, we started installing the new shower pan. We immediately ran into problems with the drain, so we had to cut open the subfloor to rebuild the pvc pipes shorter. Lots of head scratching and more Menards shopping happened today.

Gonna be so bummed when this series finishes I'm waiting all day for these to be uploaded 😁

[@MrDiyDork]

I wasn't sure if anyone actually wanted to watch me fumble my way through a bathroom renovation, but I decided to try to do daily videos on it anyway. Thanks for watching them!

[@TheCajunBeauty]

I think I'll be with Miriam on that one. I love watching videos like this and see what other people come up with. I can't begin to tell you what I rake away from the stuff I see on youtube and on Pinterest. The DIY videos are my favorite. I can almost get atleast 1 thing from each video that can work for me for something I can do around my house or as a project. Hopefully you will find other thing to do to make more series of videos like these.

[@miriamjbaker]

MrDiyDork I absolutely love these type of videos, your one of my favourite youtubers :) keep up the great work :) x

[@debbydhill]

I appreciate these daily progress reports. From my personal experience, nothing in home improvement is every straightforward...always a lot of trips to home improvement, frustration and 3 x's the time. Look forward to the finished project.

[@MrDiyDork]

It's been a while since we did such a major renovation and I kinda forgot about all the trips to the store and the issues that seem to always pop up on the "easy" projects . haha

[@GadgetAddict]

A stressful day. Keep pushing :)

[@rykhaviland3591]

I really admire your work and your style. You're a good guy. I really look forward to your videos.

[@MrDiyDork]

Thanks!

[@combows]

I've been their ...... a journey of a thousand miles and all that :)

[@MrDiyDork]

for sure

[@noe6596]

What a pain! But you dealt with it with ease. I admire your work.

[@MrDiyDork]

thanks

[@99999cathy]

Good thing you know what you're doing!

[@MrDiyDork]

I know about half of what I'm doing. The other half is lots of Googling.

[@hamsonthehill]

Like my Dad always said, "that's the way to use your noggin'.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Are you familiar with Sketchup? (I am not, I know that it exists, but I've never worked with it, so I do not know the (im)possibilities of the program.) Some (many) woodworkers use it for making cabinets and even planning rooms. I wonder if you can use the program also for piping. In that case you can do things in advance on the computer to make it fit. (I stopped this video at 7.22 after you mentioned the "point of no return", when you were about to cut the old waste water piping.

[@MrDiyDork]

I've used sketchup in the past. I'm sure you could draw out piping too. I just took likes of pictures and used those to help me find parts to rebuild it at the store.

[@forestpkguy]

You should check out Wedi products.. Videos on KZbin

[@MrDiyDork]

Just looked it up and looks like a pretty sweet system! I might have to try it out on a project in the future.

[@supercritical5582]

there is no worms in this video :(

[@ElGatoLoco698]

I gotta laugh. Nothing is going well for you on this bathroom remodel.

[@MrDiyDork]

The issues keep popping up on the projects that I thought would be easier. lol

[@mattwebbs4124]

have u ever tried schluter pans? they are foam and u can cut them to size so u dont have to shrink shower and the product is amazing.

[@ALayne08]

I hope I never have to do this but nice to have you show the stumbling blocks you had, thanks

[@mariah4451]

I'm loving this series of videos. It's great to see you problem solve along the way and tackle all the issues that come up. it's given me confidence to just go for it because there's always a solution to be found. Good luck with the rest. I love your other videos too - always super informative and inspiring. keep up the fab work ;-)

[@MrDiyDork]

Thanks. Yeah, I recommend watching & reading lots of diy tutorials to get a good idea of what you need to do. It's all fixable, even if you don't know how to fix it at first.

[@krn14242]

Feeling your pain. Never works out as easy as ya think. How close is Menards to your house? Hopefully not too much of a drive. The staff probably knows you well by now. I know most of the cashiers at my local Lowes. lol.

[@MrDiyDork]

It's only about 10 minutes away, so it's not too bad. Some of the staff definitely knows me. I sometimes try to avoid using the same cashier on the multi-trip days to make it less awkward. lol
