I'm a 76 year old female. Thank you for this video. I had no problem doing this job.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Awesome! I’m glad your project went well. Thanks for watching!

[@bravo3541]

The best and most comprehensive series of videos on shower install I"ve seen. Got me out of a shitload of trouble.

[@tiffanyhall1979]

You are literally going to put contractors out of business 🤣🤣Because you are making sure we all know how to do all this on our own. Just love you

[@chippydog2]

That’s a good thing being most contractors are swamped

[@Timespider]

Just came across your videos, fantastic. When I'm doing tap or showerhead/mixer cover plates I silicon a horse shoe around the holes under the covers with the shoe opening at the bottom, not to glue them on but to divert any water away. That way you don't need the silicon on the outside around the edges. I've done many showers like this & the water never gets in. I have tested it when wall linings are yet to be installed on reverse side of walls with my kids showering. You explain each step very well, thanks for posting.

We use Teflon tape and pipe dope in an industrial setting for lube and extra protection. I also watched your video back in the spring of this year and tiled my front porch i was really pleased. Thanks for the video

[@DavidPhillips-n7k]

Thank You so much, Im completing a shower for my brother's sister in law, and you have provided far more than could have asked for! Most grateful.

[@davidharrison3074]

First off, great explanation of the Teflon tape on pipe dope combo. It is wonderful for most situations. I absolutely love the intuition shower head from Delta. I have used them for years and Delta is a wonderful company to deal with no matter what. I register all my fixtures of mine and recommend customers to do the same thing. )There is no gimmick at all, great resource for future reference for customer service if needed) Your lines in the shower are awesome as well. Wonderful choice all the way to the fixture. (Great job to your wife) 👍🏻

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

A lot of people do have trouble figuring out the tef tape so I figured the animation would help with that. Oh yes I should have mentioned about registering your products. I had a cartridge have issues one time and Delta sent one out for free. Ever since then I have stuck with Delta. Thanks for the compliment on the fixtures and shower lines. I will let the wife know you said so. Thanks for stopping by David!

[@davidharrison3074]

@@TheExcellentLaborer I actually had great service with Moen too, but what appearance you like is a factor. A great friend who sold a house I did work on had issues with the Delta kitchen faucet. I know all the things needed to troubleshoot things even to back flush to clear any debris. Still a slow water flow. Delta just sent a complete new faucet. (Also having the experience to troubleshoot and can save them money sending out parts and then choosing to replace the fixture. Easy to send photos while talking with a representative as well. Keep up the great job and have a safe 4th of July.

[@DomesticTourist001]

Could you please make a video on which parts of home building you should do yourself and which you should hire out.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Hey Ron! I made a video a long time ago about that kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2iwhmB6nbCeabc

You should come to south Florida we need guys like you!!! Thank you

Appreciate that you get right to the point and talk fast! Thanks for the help!

Excellent .... you are soooo great with all the vids and your enjoyment making them and the energy REALLY shows. Apple Computer: $$$. Internet: $$. Subbing to The Excellent Laborer: PRICELESS

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Thor! I had a good laugh reading this. Thank you for that. I’m working on another video right now. Stay tuned for more!

[@huestis33]

Thanks for your help, starting a project in the coming weeks and you gave me the confidence to do it all myself.

[@jeanwright5325]

I like Teflon tape and pipe dope, unless specified in the directions. Always a great presentation Josh!

[@dazamad]

Thanks for great video. Was interested in the grouting method as ive never done that before. When I chalk i dip my finger in white vinegar then run along the line. It gives s great finisj for me.

[@shaggyfilms]

Always remember to shut the water off before installing or replacing a cartridge. Learned that the hard way

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Yeah that would not be fun if you forget to shut the water off first. I do not have water hooked up to this house yet so I clearly did not have to worry about it. Thanks for your comment Tyler!

[@mikecooper8988]

All great videos for the shower - thanks

[@scottsachs2547]

Hello Josh! I Always Look Forward To the Notifications For your videos!! Hope You Are Doing Well!

Hi Scott! That is great to hear. Always look forward to seeing you comment. Hope you have a good Fourth of July weekend!

@@TheExcellentLaborer Well, I'm in China and they don't celebrate the 4th. of July..haha. But I will be going back to the U.S. in Sept. And I hope You and your family have a safe holiday!!

[@edrodriguez3190]

Thanks Josh for the excellent tutorial on tile installation. You are an inspiration and your instruction is the best. Thanks again!!

[@Qmedjoe]

Hey Josh, Did you ever make the video on how to fine tune the temperature?

[@seamusmonaghan4422]

"Laborer"? Uh, more like: Jedi Master. Great stuff, Josh.Thank you.

[@benjamingalicia8686]

Excellent job good teaching

[@dankelley9361]

Great installation technique & love that demo shower head.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Thanks Dan! I figured some people would want to see it in action. Thanks for watching!

[@MrSmurph101]

Appreciate you taking the time to make these videos.

[@HHH-qc7gy]

At 8:44 he said that he was going to make a video on how to adjust all of the temperature settings for this shower .. I have the exact same one and need to figure out how to adjust the temps .. It is almost like the Hot water in not going on all of the way because my showers are 'warm' at best. Anyone know where to find a video explaining how to do this??

[@Jim082557]

Do you have any videos on removing a flow restriction for the spout for a tub?

[@thomasblaylock8528]

Hey Josh, can you show how to use PEX pipe with shark bite fitting only?

[@garfieldisgod]

You are not a "laborer"........You are a skilled "craftsman"......There is a huge difference.......Ashamed people don't know this anymore....That's the way the rich want working people lumped into one category. There are no skills; anyone can do any job; they are all just jobs that require no skills. A laborer would mix your thinset and clean the tile; , throw out packaging, sweep and vacuum the floor, etc.....You do all the skilled work; which takes discipline and practice; and experience. You are "excellent"......but you are not a laborer. I dub you "The Excellent Craftsman"......great video's, keep up the good work, or, er, excellent work!!!

[@SuperUTubeDooper]

Looks like you should remove the plaster guard after you are done tiling?

[@kbbb4227]

All ur tips r kool.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I appreciate that!

[@crs1012]

I leave plumbing to the licensed people, for the normal leak warranty, but I appreciate the knowledge! Thank you for the video!

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Very interesting. Thanks a lot for watching my video!

[@ArielGad-s1e]

Do you have the link for adjusting the temp? didnt see it popup on the top right of the video

[@kylelove927]

You do good work.

[@dylanturner4690]

How do you adjust the temperature on these?

[@sheldonbaracho2958]

Thank You for the detailed video. My plumber installed the Delta Monitor 17 Ashlyn Tub and Shower kit alonf with the Delta R10000-UNBX Valve. Everything works great except the volume control. No water comes out on the first two settings (dots) above the OFF setting. One dot 3, only a little water trickles out, then on dot 4 (highest volume setting) water comes out. So basically it's the highest water setting or no water at all. Any idea what the issue is?

[@veegee3447]

Awesome job looks beautiful thank you for sharing josh👍😎

[@stephenhaag-g3i]

Josh, @ 6:10 // when I insert the valve I can not get it the last bit in. The two “v” are just at the slots but not inside. But I can screw the ring over it hand tight and don’t seem to have a leak. Your thoughts?

[@citygirl5814]

Is there a ball joint or anything to angle the shower head down for short people? I had my building manager install the shower head and it currently is for a person over 6' tall.

[@shannonbrown4200]

Can you do a trex railing

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

I will eventually do a video on that. Stay tuned!

Any idea why my brand new delta multichoice valve is leaking immediately out of the box and with a cartridge change?

[@arianadelaroca7782]

I have water coming out the spout on the wall side when I lift the diverter. What did I do wrong ?

[@londonhawg1954]

Is there a shutoff before the valves ?

[@윤태준-m3l]

Hello Josh, I am getting a lot of help from watching your video. I installed Delta R10000-UNBX cartridge. If I turn on the water without the cartridge, it comes out just fine. When the cartridge is installed, water does not come out. But I don't know what went wrong. Can you give me some advice on what the problem is?

[@dewaynegilbert5293]

I have the Delta Ashlyn 17 series and I am needing to adjust my cold water how do I remove the lever to adjust it. I don't want to break anything. thx

[@Badabucco-b6z]

My control cover will not snap into place any suggestions 🙏

Can I hire you for a bathroom remodel?

[@ryancormack6934]

3:48 everytime I do this, the pipe is too loose in the down position, and stops perfectly tight in the up position. It's driving me crazy :( Any advice?

[@jasonev2011]

Definitely tef tape all connections involving water

[@kbbb4227]

hungh, i didn't know that, about the valves not being sold with heads.

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

Sometimes they are a sometimes they are not.

Too bad you didn't use grey Teflon tape

[@alyssahayes7]

What size nipple did you use for the bath tub faucet ,

[@kbbb4227]

One or the other, never both to date.
