DIY HOUSE RENOVATION for UNDER $8,000 - Part 4

Hey Gang. We’re excited to finally show the Washington Remodel we did last April. Having 8 days, limited tools and working 10+ hours, made it for a pretty special experience to say the least. Filming and making the videos got harder and harder each day, so we hope we made it at least enjoyable to watch in post. Thanks for watching, thanks for all the support, thanks for 200k and we’ll see ya in part 4!

Jordan, great job putting these videos together man. There must have been a TON of footage to go through. Really great job dude, it's noted and appreciated! And great job to Paul (Mr. Cut Man) and the rest of the family on all the work!

[@zachaugustine893]

Yes these videos wouldn’t be nearly as good without the great job y’all do on editing

[@perjrgensen8280]

YES.. they did a great job.. Greetings from Denmark.

[@alanslusher2741]

You should put these (and all of your videos) in a playlist. Make it easy on us to follow a project from start to finish! 😉

[@FaceFaceMan]

The Father Son dynamic is perfect. You guys make a great team. @ 12:54, it reminds me of a tip my Dad gave me as I got older. "To prevent injury to your back or knees, always make a sound when you get up" Works almost every time!

[@3nertia]

For those of us who didn't have a dad to teach us this stuff, thank you for sharing yours, Jordan! And thank you, Paul, for being you!

[@PumpkinDog33]

5:01 we never get too old to get excited about something all on our own that Dad taught us. And as always, Dad's approval is a priceless commodity we can never get enough of. :)

[@lenchowmein]

Love the segment where you stopped to give props to pops on making it look easy.

[@KetherWesak]

Dear Jordan your father rocks not only because he is great at his job but because he loves you so much and he shows that to you every single moment. Cheers!

[@normm.7265]

A thousand thanks for sharing your lives with us. I enjoy the family atmosphere and mutual respect as much or more than I do the video content. You each model the kind of love our nation's families need -- desperately. Thank you.

[@CheesusCheesusChrist]

Really loved the compare and contrast between Jordan's tile job and dad's. Noting what you did and talking about how you could improve based on watching dad's and his expertise is one of those elements that elevates these videos from "fun to watch" to a degree of educational that's really hard to quantify except to say, extremely valuable. Thank so much!

[@rpaasse6453]

No cutting corners, you do it right or you don't do it. The stud Pack way. Youre dad would be a great teacher to, so much knowledge of al the tips and trics of the trade. The years and years of experience. Thnx for the video, i really liked this series.

[@jameshuffman7676]

Except the literal door corner they cut! ;)

[@rpaasse6453]

@@jameshuffman7676 Yeah, forgot that......Ah well, they fixed it. :)

[@MediumRareSteve]

I loved this series. It was fantastic to see the WHOLE family dynamic working together for the first time.

[@HBSuccess]

What impresses me most is that 1) you guys punish it and hang until the last dog barks but 2) seem to stay in good spirits no matter what. No tools, tight deadlines, willing but greenhorn help… it had to be a real challenge to keep your cool. Much respect to the StudPackers !

[@rzo8098]

Safety glasses J, always.

[@taxi317]

Great results on your first tile job Jordan...much better than my first. Very cool the way you acknowledge your Dad's skills.

[@alexknight7191]

Love Jordan's comment to Paul. It's exactly how I felt doing drywall mud last night after watching the drywall video form the other day! Paul is consummate professional for sure.

[@damiandriscoll2562]

Love the videos. You should do one showing what mom and the girls are doing behind the scenes, we hear about them but never see what they are doing. I think it would be an inspiration to all of your women subscribers.

[@Hawkeye-cj8dm]

Really like the idea of the tile as the baseboards in the bathroom. I’m going to use that on my bathroom I’m doing now. Thanks stud pack

[@gordonshute8816]

What a fun family project. I always loved it when the kids would help me build stuff. Great memories, great bonding time.

[@dwoodog]

Props out to Jordan, noting is as easy when you have to finally do it yourself. You guys are like bacon & eggs, you just go together, I wish I had both of you around for a couple projects I'd like to do.

[@davepedden1781]

We are spoiled with the number of videos you released the past couple weeks! :) Awesome work as usual. I love how informative all of your videos are. I learn something new with each and every video.

[@riotgear6891]

It's great to see things getting done without a lot of fancy tools. Always learn something from these vids. Keep them coming.

[@heyb6268]

This channel is great. Jordan might not think about it now. But you’ll cherish these videos someday. So awesome that it’s all documented.

[@milesharlan1]

TGIF with Studpack!! A great way to start the day too, watching a Studpack Video!! Keep up the good work!

[@DianneCarrington]

Jordan, I'm proud of you mate. Your first tile job ... and according to the resident expert, a passing grade. I enjoyed seeing you doing some of the projects and experiencing the issues most of us have when we try to "replicate the expert." Also, one of your best videos. When you have an expert complete a job, they often gloss over the details because it is second nature to them. You kept stopping your Dad and asked him to explain or elaborate. That is where the subtleties are pulled from your Dad.

[@joelmorgenstern5643]

Hey guys. Looks like the rental is coming along great! At my paint shop here in Montana we use a tool called the Super Stacker to paint doors. They allow you to paint both sides of a door on saw horses and stack the doors while they dry. Y’all should check ‘‘em out!! My business partner owns them, hit me up if you want to get ahold of him directly, or to see some pictures/video of them being used. StudPack all the way!!

[@ncooty]

Love how gracious you both were about the tile. Jordan's a good egg.

[@drewcama2488]

The tiles realy make the room look rich!. Good choices all around.

[@stephennorton1321]

Great video series.....awesome family project.....got to see Sis and Mama......all the best guys!

[@matteberry58]

I'm so glad you guys put these tenant reno vids together. Love the Studpack family teamwork. You guys rock!

[@triggerhappy41]

Been watching through your backlog and this series was awesome. Love seeing the whole family pull together to get the project done :)

[@Sapnek]

Stud pack!!!!!!!! Thank u for this series!!!!!

[@jamesbrzycki2212]

Your videos are awesome. I love teamwork! It's fabulous to see father & son (and future son-in-law) working together so well. I often do projects with my sons and we get so much done. My secret: have 3 sub-projects at the site going all at the same time. When I need supplies for sub-project #1, I move to sub-project #2 while my wife runs for supplies, etc. That way, I keep busy the whole day and don't spend my productive time driving to/shopping at Home Depot. My wife loves the break as well.

[@jessicahites871]

Love the tile choice for the bathrooms!! Awesome job guys!!

[@jasonmyers3358]

Awesome job! My dad and I worked together for 20 plus years together in the construction business and I certainly appreciate your videos! Brings back memories! Lol! I remember the days when I was stressed running the job and he was relaxed bull crapping with the customer, it used to make me so mad! lol! Thank You!

[@jameswatson6456]

I was hoping to see what you did to make the electrical outlets extend even to the face of the tile. Maybe you have another video where that is shown? Love the videos and explanations and tips on how to do the work. Well done.

[@catblue6393]

Y'all looked exhausted. Good job!

[@DewaltFanboy]

Had to rip down a door that way before and with only 2 people its ALOT harder. But hey you got it done and thats all that matters at the end. Great video like always! Cheers from Kirkland Washington

[@williammorris3303]

I was surprised to see you using thinset rather than mastic for the backsplash

[@rogermccaslin5963]

Trimming that door on that baby table saw was epic. 4 people to trim of 3/8 of an inch (well, really 3 to cut and one to film 😁). Making do with what you've got to work with. 👍

[@tomjeffries58]

That is it. Subfloor, thinset, backer, screws, squish! Indestructible.

[@BWIL2515]

Those out of town jobs are exhausting good job im curious between tools and materials how many trips to store your good guys doing this with family is not always the easiest CONGRATS

[@dizastro5437]

Great series.

[@carolewarner101]

Always appreciate you guys' positive upbeat energy. What a marathon job! Must really be tough not having all your tools from home to get the job done with. But you've really been resourceful and made it work. Would've been nice to get to see the final grouted result of the three tiled areas there at the end. Thanks for sharing this whole progression with us. Hoping you'll give us a tour of the place all finished when you're completely one. Great work Team Stud Pack!

[@cdurkinz]

Place looks great. Nice work as always!

[@tracymankey9314]

Your dad takes pride in is work

[@joebinion1]

Great video, just can't get enough of your Content.

[@Toby9103]

the only bad part of this channel is that the videos end.. haha :) good job guys!

[@OnlyOneFever]

So much fun seeing you in my own back yard. Hardware Sales!!!

[@StudPack]

Great store 👊👍

[@territraynor6085]

Safety glasses when using saw

[@monsterq6]

You guys always do great work.

[@tallpaul8880]

A large part of doing a professional job is like Paul said ABC always be cleaning. That’s a great pro tip! 🇺🇸✌🏻

[@firemanj35]

Great job as always guys. Your killing it.

[@borys444]

Great video as always…the both of u do amazing work!!

[@jakesteel3641]

Tip: put your grout in a ziplock and cut the corner. Pipe it into all the groves them come back with your tool to push it into the groove. Way better than buttering the whole face of the tile and cleaning it up after.

[@johnjamesterbeek]

Totally agree, Lowes has the best powder.

[@tomjeffries58]

Wow! Next level innovation with those doors. I am impressed.

[@tonyplank]

What an awesome family. Mutual respect drips from your pores. Thanks for sharing this small window into your lives.

[@dr.haroldweinstein5157]

Can you do a drywall patching video with all types of texture? Would be much appreciated!

[@kylerousey2489]

I do tile all day every day for a living 365 and that’s the saw I use! It’s the best!!!

[@justgivemethetruth]

That looks really great. 12:14 - I's

[@parochial2356]

Great work Guys and Gals, given the budget and time constraints you were dealing with.

[@lukakrajnc5775]

i love this series it is great content and you learn alot

[@daxmas625]

Another amazing job! Glad you all were able to go see the beauty of Washington and some blue sky too.

[@joshuasutton2875]

Way to stick it out guys. Great work all around, hope you got some well deserved rest after this job.

[@sharondymond]

You guys seem to be having so much fun.

[@ssdd3332]

Day 8 energy level red. 😆😆😆😆 Good job!

[@av8ionUSMC]

"I'm approved to give the Stud Pack seal of approval." haha, yes you are! Good for you

[@chrisguillen1495]

Man this series is killer! Great job Pack!

[@jacobbonilla1247]

I usually take the tailgate off when I have to load the truck with sacks and heavy tile

[@mackfisher4487]

I love the trick of applying thick layer paint to the toilet phalange, then lay the backer board down thus giving you a template for cut out the phalange hole on the concrete backer board.

[@ThePhrygianFingers]

Just got finished watching the 4 parts. Love it. Will there be a 5th part to wrap things up?

[@chrisjones8080]

Hardware Sales is the best store that exists. Next time you're in Bellingham, I'll gladly loan you any tools you need. Thanks for sharing the videos! I've been hoping you would share them ever since the ambiguous "we're heading to a place near Seattle next to the Canadian border" haha.

[@nachsonsantos5904]

What a great bunch!

[@anthonymillirans6802]

The striker plate had me rollin 🤣😎

[@DucklesThePlumber]

Good old hardware sales!

[@Tablesaw818]

Great job guys! House is looking awesome!

[@FranNoesse]

I installed tile through college. to level tiles, we used a 2x4 on its side.

[@Wolfburns]

Great way to start a Friday! Thank you for these great videos.

[@buildingusa9604]

What's up gang 🤪 Blessings for everyone 🙏

[@SxmTech101]

Yes sir another banger.

[@Titantitan001]

Going to lowes for mapei, my man!! Edit: you did just fine jordan. Been doing Tile for a long time and it looks great

[@travlangley1]

You guys are up in my area! Loving the series

[@raymitchell9736]

I have one small bathroom like that (yes only 1 bath grrrr...) It's about 5' x 6', the flooring has ~ 3" maybe 4" tiles that are laid in a 45 degree "diamond" pattern in the center with a perimeter around the outside... built in 1951 these are original to the house and are cracked and well I have issues as I can see 2 major crack lines on each side, so I think the floor has settled to cause stress to the tiles... I know I need to address this floor, some point soon! The problem I've had is finding new tiles that I could replace the flooring. Initially my thought is to lay a new floor using the same sized tiles and give it the same look, I wanted to switch from a pink tile to a blue tile, but a lot of the tiles made today are not the small tiles, the colors are "What the heck!?" darker and have grey, or what they call blue looks more like green... I have ordered samples from several sources and visited showrooms. So far I'm not impressed or satisfied... Also I wondered if I should go a different route with the larger format tiles... but I think the big tiles in a small bathroom would just look odd, I hope to see the finished look of the bathrooms in your video after the room was put back together to see if I liked it or not... That all said, what is your opinion? P.S. I think somebody over grouted the darned like button... They needed a putty knife or margin trowel, but I managed to press it anyway. I really like your channel and information.

[@jamesmcfadden5214]

Man, you got it easy cutting tile🤣 My boss always makes me cut a full circle

[@andythecabanaboy]

Great Jig for the doors but you've got to painter's tape the edge to avoid any tear out from the saw blade, especially on the top surface, not necessarily wrapped around both faces.

[@EdHourigan]

My fav channel on youtube! You guys do outstanding work! p.s. When will the stud pack trucker hats be back in stock? -Ed.

[@imlon2]

Have you guys ever did a epoxy counter top? That would be a great video. There are so many color options and it looks like Granite when you are done.

[@firsttimeforeverything941]

Another great one guys! 2 questions: (1) Do you guys use thinset or mastic for kitchen backsplashes? and (2) What did you think of the beast mode tile saw?!?

[@JohnClay77]

Good morning Stud Pack! 👊

[@moneyfornothing3264]

Great work guys!!!

[@TheMario2k7]

Looking crispy crispy gang!!!!!

[@harryl7946]

Well done considering the absenteeism of your own tools. Like any of the tools used? Get ‘em when you get home. Suggestion: carry the large format tiles on edge durning transportation, not as apt to crack over laying flat. Ask me how I know!! 🤬 I would of loved to be able to help out. 😥

[@nephewsque6751]

Great job guys that Home Depot tool rental section is huge compared to the ones we have down here in New Orleans

[@JT_70]

The closest HD tool rental here is 110 miles away. I wish our local HD had rentals. Fortunately, we have a couple of independent rental companies but they are pricey.

[@josianrodriguez1249]

ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE, AND ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. G.B.Y.A.

[@FrankGraffagnino]

more ragin cajun gear in this episode... gotta love it cher.

[@perjrgensen8280]

I like wonderboard but still will not use on floors. Hardie board will be my choice.
