The Bathroom In Our SELF-BUILT Home!

[@ol3jka92]

I'm a professional tile installer, and I am so pleased to see you guys put down mortar under the underlayment for the floor tile. Not a lot of tile guys even do it. But it's a must! Much respect. And I hope you are blessed with the rest of your build.

[@robertnielsen2461]

I believe you see a recipe for a happy family.They certainly respect each other,there's a lot to be learned from these two!!!!!

[@PlanetMojo]

We went the 'build as you can afford it' rout when we built our homestead, and couldn't afford the bathroom my wife wanted right away, so I fashioned a black plastic stock tank into a shower. We now have a very nice bathroom with a curb-less shower wrapped completely in Schluter®-KERDI. It takes longer to build debt-free, but you wind up having a much better homestead, and you know every little thing about it! Keep up the good work -- it's coming along nicely!

[@theredrose777]

A real man builds. Josh is super talented. Erin & Josh, you two are awesome together!!!

[@terrystephens1102]

Love the way you two work as a team. Josh is obviously a talented tradesman. Thanks for sharing your beautiful kids, they’re so lucky to experience all of your animals 👍👏👏❤️

Great job! Can’t wait for the next video! Have an awesome week, guys!

Enjoyed the video. Raising the kids the right way.

[@bernarrcoletta7419]

Sorry I didn’t think about this sooner. When you build the back part of the house, consider using commercial style toilets where the drain goes into the wall rather than into the floor. It’s easier to keep the floor clean, and you don’t have to deal with wax seals. Spring is coming.

[@joelhenderson3951]

Hey Josh I think you are a good carpenter. You done this a lot!

[@DIYMyWay]

If you two aren’t careful, you’re gonna get good at this DIY thing! Once again, great job and great video! Really enjoyed seeing your kids in the video. Y’all are going to have a wonderful off-grid life!

[@johntripp2028]

When I do a knee wall I normally put a 2x6 horizontally for a header. Allows easy nailing for the studs and gives me a nice place to nail sheet rock or backer board all the way across. Just cut a 45 degree cut on the edge. You can actually build the wall with a header and a footer and then stand it up and nail it. Otherwise great job.

[@WyldsideRadio]

[@TripT5]

Looks good guys love y’alls videos.Just a tip be sure that toilet flange is attached to the sub floor an that the tile is installed under the flange so you want have any leaks.Just got thru ripping up subfloors in a three year old house due to the flanges being installed flush with floor tile. Wish I could send pics to show the damages.

[@augustreil]

True, but if the flange ends up too low, they have extensions for that. But I hear what you're saying.

[@pda4you]

I was thinking the same the flange is in the "air" now - not good. It must be secured to the subfloor.

[@1aview]

We use 1.25 min thickness sub floor for tile. So 1/2 in hardy backer. Set with 1/4 x 1/4 trowel and screws. Then tile set with 3/8 x 1/4 or 1/2 x 1/2 trowel. Also when possible set toilet flange on cement bord for support and dont need to use an xtra wax ring.

[@williscooper7750]

Gunna say the same about the flange. Never set the flange at the sub floor height unless you are doing lament.

Looking good love the outtakes at the end

[@scotty362100]

You may want to fill under the closet flange with mortar/thinset to stabilize it, then screw to the floor with stainless screws. You are asking for leaks leaving it floating in the air like you have it. You probably should have installed it after the backerboard so it had better support under it, but it is kind of late for that now. Just really, address it before you tile around it.

[@teknichols]

You should make up a 1/2" ply jig to make the angle cuts easier. Just run your saw guided by the jig.

Use Schluter-Ditra under the tile floor. It works great and is much easier to cut and install.

[@JCrook1028]

Did I hear right and you're gonna tile in the bathroom? I'd hold off on tiling til the drywall is up in the house. At least the close by rooms, but really better if all of it. You're risking popping those tiles right off otherwise. In all the construction I have done I have never once seen any tile work done pre drywall finishing. Get those walls up, get em mudded and sanded, then worry about finish tile work.

[@Atmironov]

Awesome job so far! Do you guys have your waterproofing plan worked out for the shower?

[@jaro2450m]

Make more wet thinset under backboard and before installing using wet sponge to clean plywood from dust and the plywood will not suck water so fast from thinset.

[@adubbelde1]

Are you doing a preslope on the shower pan? I did my first mud base shower in this house. The one issue that I've had using a vinyl shower pan is all of the layers in the folds in the corner. I think if I were doing it again, I'd trim the studs and blocking back about a quarter inch to allow for that added material. It telegraphs through the backer and you end up with a bit of a tapered tile in the corners.

[@WildWonderfulOffGrid]

Yes we are doing a preslope on shower pan. We are interested to see how it turns out!

Do you have a video of how you saved and budgeted for this? That would be something I would love to see since my husband and I have started to think about building our own house eventually as well but I'm not sure where to start with the money

[@PerthPete1]

Hello. Have you considered a drainage hole, for those times when water from the shower, bath or vanity overflow, in the bathroom floor? Here in Australia it is part of the building code that all "wet" areas have a drain, and that the floor slopes / gradients to that drain at a ratio of 1:60

[@WildWonderfulOffGrid]

That's interesting! We are required to have them in bathtubs but have never seen them in a shower.

[@PerthPete1]

I think the idea is to prevent water from these overflows getting into other rooms and/or, if the residence is a multi story building, leaking into the floor below. I have seen baths and vanity basins with built-in drains to prevent overflow but I think the reg also want to cover accidents with toilets.

[@fac3th3wolf]

I am learning so much watching this. Question: I thought the whole point of thinset was not needing to screw it down. Why did you then screw holes through what's supposed to be a smooth bathroom floor? Or am I wrong? I looks this channel. Thank you for sharing!
