We Used 2 DIFFERENT Flange REMOVAL Methods...(We Broke One)

[@jimbecker1843]

Great to see someone who knows what they are doing! I've been in the remodeling / handy man business for 35 years...... it's great to see your videos that show an honest craftsman!

In order to be code compliance light fixtures over tub and shower shall be listed for its use .🎉sealed. And for sure switches and receptacles need to out of reach from shower or tub. Great work .

[@tycobb8621]

I’ve been a contractor for the past 16-17 years. Started when I was about 21-22. Wish I worked near you guys to do some collaboration. Y’all seem super positive and conscientious. Keep it up!

[@CordCrenshaw]

Nice work guys. Really makes me feel good about the world to know that there are people out there trying to do the job right even when the client will never know. Great stuff.

[@Lesley_T]

That flange and drain set up looks so much cleaner than what was installed in my 2016 build. You wouldn’t believe how much this affects your shower pan drainage over time. Between personal hygiene and regular cleanings, an improper or lackadaisical drain install will wreck havoc over time-an no one wants the Grand Canyon to emerge from underneath their feet-especially one that may contain moldy hair and debris!… In case you hadn’t heard it as of late, thank y’all for sharing your work, tips, and tricks- and for demonstrating decency, proficiency, professionalism, and basic humanitarianism. Complacency tends to breed faster than competency and is a great disservice to craftsmanship-amongst so many other things. Thank you 🙏 Stay blessed

I need those lights. Worth the whole video. Thank you

[@markpdouglas]

I've been binge watching this series of bathroom videos and it's really helping get me in the mood for my impending kitchen remodel! You're a man of my own heart taking that extra bit of time to do stuff properly and we clearly share a love of pocket hole screws! When I did my bathroom a few years back, the pocket hole jig was probably my most used tool after the tile saw! I really like the quality of your work and the clarity of your videos - keep it up!

[@Aplushandymanservice]

Did this before it works good but if you deal with a stubborn and stuck from the glue you can use slow drying xylene to break the glue bond

[@dannybrazil3986]

Your videos serve or rather help you in not only teaching/ communicating to us but mainly to your son. As I can't think ,what better way a son can approve of his father's business and motivate then to have thousands of viewers . Thanks for the life lessons.

[@TimmyP1955]

You hard rock tunes are quite enjoyable.

[@jordangirdler8529]

Have you guys ever tried a heat gun on the socket of the flange? It still needs 1 cut to get it started but it will usually peel off quite easy. This is something we do in New Zealand. Awesome vids guys keep it up!

It is good to see a contractor that is not afraid to use lights, to many are

[@TalentNetworked]

You’re a good and detailed teacher. Thank you

[@brassmule]

The Halo retrofit cans are great - so are the Utilitech canless. The selectable color temperature is a real game change for LED fixtures, too - softer 2700K or 3000K in bedrooms, 3500K to 4000K for baths and kitchens, and 5000K for work areas. I installed some recently in a remodel and LOVE the canless LEDs. I personally like to put two 3 or 4 inch lights in showers, depending on the size (two 3" in a smaller shower like this one), to help minimize shadows from just having one single light.

[@jerrywalker7489]

Hey Paul. Good thing you used up the thin set for that hole in floor. The self leveler doesn’t like to be troweled. Jerry from Fresno

[@emmetband4931]

We did a bathroom remodel two years ago. After removing the two toilets I stuffed newspaper down the cast iron pipe. In the middle of the night I heard a scratching sound. Sure enough, a sewer rat was trying to gain access to the house. I put a 2 x 8 bit of scrap with a sledge hammer on top to keep the little bugger at bay. The next day I got two expansion plugs in place. The internal pipe cutter is great, thanks.

[@StudPack]

Thx Emmet. I did a bathroom remodel once and stuffed an old hand towel in the toilet drain. When we removed the towel weeks later to install the toilet it had been well chewed upon 😳

[@MoneyManHolmes]

Gross... I think I’m going to start putting the lid down after going from now on.

[@BRICEN18]

Awesome trick on the PVC flange remover. That could save some head aches. Someday. Thanks

[@GregariousAntithesis]

You guys got lucky must not have been really old glue joint. Ive had good luck using a hole saw over the pipe

[@PongoXBongo]

Love that you guys use selectable color temp lights. When you can't just change out a bulb, that's a must-have feature.

[@cmeyer1]

I use a heat gun to warm the joint. Usually comes off clean.

[@StudPack]

Yeah I've seen that done but never tried it.

[@specsbundy1392]

Enjoy your guy's videos ..don't stop fellas

[@KingHarry1]

13:40 you can put tile on hardy backer because you use red guard. Which the old shower did have red guard. I think Paul was right on what he said at the beginning

[@JustaDude123]

Great video, renovations have to b the most pain in the ass type of work out there and u guys make it look easy. Great job!!

[@TheAxecutioner]

Great job guys!! It is worth noting that for properly dimming LEDs, you need to buy a dimmer meant for dimming LEDs

[@StudPack]

Yep good point. We'll point that out on dimmer install video. Thx Bradyn!!

[@ericmurphy8773]

You guys need to look into a PVC hub saver tool only about 30$ each size doing remodel work would save you

[@joshweir6512]

Doing great Guys! big up from Toronto!

[@anthonyalaan]

I’ve installed some led retrofit can lights from Costco but they are not completely flush with the ceiling. The old can lights seemed to be painted or siliconed to the ceiling (I had to cut around the rim of the housing to get it off cleanly). Do you recommend adding some caulk to the rim of the lights to get the lights adhered to the ceiling/flush? I’m also wondering if it’s okay to have a slight gap if these are installed in a bathroom.

[@StudPack]

I’m not a fan of caulking the trim ring to the ceiling but can see where it would be beneficial in some cases. Regarding the gap, depends on how much. Anything larger than 1/16” I’d try to correct

[@MarkSmith-zn4oy]

Going be epic when your finished love them tiles! Superb job guys

[@isctony]

Interesting that the new outlet you put in there fixes to the *outside* of the floor drain, that just seems so backwards, especially when the floor drain now has divots in it from the drilling. I would still be worried about that not being a great connection.

[@MoneyManHolmes]

When I did mine, I just slopped a bunch of PVC glue all around the perimeter to hopefully run down into and seal any imperfections.

[@htownblue11]

Learned a few things as always. Another good one and the bathroom is coming together very well. Great tips on drain replacement and the easy can light replacement too. It’s PAUL Y’ALL! PAUL.....And of course Jordan.

[@DdDten]

Would you put a water proofing membrane on a ceiling especially if it’s in a walk in shower?

[@mikejohnson9118]

1 With the curb the cut "open" end doesn't get filled in with a piece of block/brick? 2 The AllSET doesn't require priming to bond to the concrete?

[@StudPack]

1) no 2) no All Set is just like any other thinset and bonds well to concrete

[@irrelevant6845]

Would ya look at that. Good video guys.

Jordan is actually a soundboard. Also people really do love those 12x24s now. If I could give you a tip, mapeis thinset is much better than schluters

[@218philip]

Was it a conscious decision to not make the shower handicap accessible? To make the curb lower and using a shower door with a good bottom seal would minimize that hurdle. A good friend after building a dream home broke his back and wound up starting over due to so many areas that needed extensive changes. The comprises in a design may be worth it in the long picture.

Interesting that the shower flange was glued to the outside of the drain pipe (3:03) while the toilet flange was glued inside the drain pipe (5:35). Is that the "standard"? I.e., shower drain flange goes around the shower drain pipe, while toilet flange goes inside drain pipe? Thanks.
