Just an FYI, when you use silicone to seal up a bath tub it's a good idea to fill the tub with water because the tub will flex when you have it filled but the silicone while it will flex it will also pull itself apart. If you didn't fill the tub this time just cut it out and re seal it.

[@kchrys7680]

That’s a great tip, thanks man

I’ve only watch this and the outdoor grill episode, but if this building is as bad as it is in the grill video he can just keep redoing rooms when they start falling apart or growing mould. I’d just watch the pros on KZbin that’s all this guy is doing then making videos, but he is missing some little things some not so little skills. In short learn from someone who knows what they are doing not someone who is doing it the first time to make a KZbin video.

I love that you keep the parts where you run into problems. Makes me feel better that it’s not just me who always seems to run into problems when renovating. And too many channels make it seem like it’s as easy as eating cake and that you’re the exception if you run into problems.

Pretty cool that you leave in your mistakes. Much more memorable lesson. Cool video

[@hodgiee]

I installed the same screen here in the UK and done the same as u painted it Matt black. Look fantastic but I noticed after a while where the screen was opening and closing it would rub and scratch the paint off. What I done to get round it was to actually take the pivoting part off and filed a tiny bit off the frame to give it a tiny little more room to pivot without rubbing. Just something to look out for

[@CHIchangching]

I like the way that you faced the issue and how you resolve them! this is what make a DIY video!

[@stephensthebomb]

I don't want to be too negative - I like this channel and your approach to learning etc... There's a couple of major oversights in this one; the showerhead which is about a foot too low, and the glass that's about a foot and a half too short! Hope neither creates any issues for you, but I suspect you'll end up making some more changes in here. Keep up the good work!

[@bossladiieer.9580]

I was wondering why he looked like a giant. Everything else is just short 😂

[@Aepek]

Interesting that installed tile vertically instead of the usual…horizontal; but, think it adds a unique and different look to the tub/shower combo. Looks nice, congrats on your new bathroom👍🏻👍🏻

Looks fantastic! If you leave the wedges in the spacer clips when you break them off with your mallet, they break off clean and easy. It also saves you the step of taking each wedge out individually. Keep up the awesome content!

Your house is beautifully decorated. Thanks I needed this.

[@jayovera]

Good video. I was getting ideas on how it is done before I quoted someone to do it since it looks like a lot of detail for a naïve plumber like me. I would like to see comments on a new thing I am finding now on most Hotels I am running into (I travel a lot). The idea is to offer the option to install the water controls on the entry side that way the user can adjust the temperature before getting into the water stream usually in the opposite side. Yes, I know, its a lot of plumbing but, from personal experience, I like this option as well as multiple heads (one on top coming down from the ceiling and another from the wall with a selector to either/both heads).

[@scorpio6587]

I'm glad you kept the tub. I totally agree.

[@joelhoeksema]

Happy to see manscaped as a sponsor. I’ve been using the 2.0 for over a year now!

[@ZNP25]

I’m still confused about adding in new drains and attaching them to the tub? Then what? How do you attach them to the other pipes?

[@bg73]

Great sponsor segment, totally funny. This project turned out great Well done dude.

[@scorpio6587]

I had never heard of John Malecki. Now I am subscribed. Thanks!

[@ang_131]

I’m a little surprised you didn’t go the same way as the sink tile and take it to the ceiling. That plus hanging the shower curtain near the ceiling looks amazing!

[@blakebenham3130]

Should have added a shower niche!!! Great job though, looks beautiful!

Hope you’re following the 5 part beginner builds series on KZbin. Up next for project #2 is this chevron king size bed. Trying to keep to minimal tools for an average person to get into DIY. No table saws were used on Behemoth! Video out next Monday.

[@Xomby]

roofing nail makes sense because that's how vinyl siding is mounted. the nails allow for expansion/contraction and avoiding warping (if properly set) when it heats up in the sun. in this case, probably hot water.

[@bowerbirdstyle7661]

Nice tiles and I love the brass fittings.

[@dirksgently409]

When going this deep on a shower remodel, I always like to raise the showerhead 10" to 12" up depending on available height. It's especially nice for tall people.

[@derekgincoo454]

I love you and john shout each other out in a sarcastic way...we know it's all love

[@enriquemolina9799]

I like the glass but I am wondering if water doesn’t get on the floor when people shower since the area is not completely enclosed. Thanks and great video.

[@pernick22]

The goat!!! Playing there tomorrow!

[@govtintervention]

i know you probably get asked this all the time, but how are you measuring and cutting correctly? im talking about tiles, mounting points, holes for plumbing, all that stuff. are you measuring the spot against and x and Y access and the then marking, or using cardboard or something like that to sketch out the holes?

[@mercedesdaye2931]

Good job. My bathroom has a similar layout and I hate, absolutely hate the all in one tub/wall thing. I would like my tub to look like the one you built in this video. I thought about doing it myself, then I chickened out. Or did I mention I don’t have money to do this renovation whether via contractor or trial and error. My question to you is can your program renovate my bathroom (currently unemployed). I would be indebted to you forever.🙏🏾

[@caraschlaht4026]

Gorgeous bathroom! What is your opinion on single component grout that does not require re-sealing?

[@djpahan]

Quick suggestion L, when working with tile in the tub, in same isle at HD or Lowe's they have liners thst protect your tub for duration of construction. $8 is well spent money VS scratches or damage.

[@jonathanweir8467]

HOLY FOCUS!!

[@conradguzman394]

Very nicely done and explained.

[@RES_Plumbing-Drain]

How do you like the glass? Does it keep all the water inside once you shower? It looks really nice.

[@elizabethdelorme6577]

What is under the tub? Is is just the plywood/OSB or did you extend the Ditra system?

[@royjumonville7026]

Awesome job. The problem with the plumbing is the exact reason why I haven't taken on our shower project yet. Can you go a little more in detail on how to correct/overcome you fixed it? Thanks and keep it up!

[@danny302]

So real life question.... I installed a similar tub and after completing the job noticed that as you step into it the tub actually flexes some and the bottom line of grout cracks. What I have been told is that I should have supported the bottom with some type of cement between the subfloor and the tub. Did you do that and have you noticed any issues with flexing of the tub? Luckily I have access to one side of the tub through a wall and will have to cut a portion of that wall out and throw some cement under the tub to prevent it from flexing. Great job as usual, keep it up!

[@PUSHCUT]

[@brodygiddings]

"It's exhausting doing things the right way" is a very true statement

[@David-fg4nu]

Very good, job! The only thing I would have done different is center the tiles in the front and the back of the shower.

[@SJ-gd6bo]

Looks nice, good work. You may regret not bedding in the tub, if you did, I didn't see it on the video. Some use mortar, some use foam. There is always a chance of squeaks and movement of the tub base when you are showering without it.

[@Alexanderbuilds2001]

How do you control dust and more specifically drywall dust? Because I recently removed some drywall to make way for a wider doorway and dust got everywhere and a month later I’m still finding drywall dust.

[@DaruDhillon]

I would tape off any vents and add a plastic zip door to the room that you are renovating to contain the dust. They work really well.

[@Alexanderbuilds2001]

Daru Dhillon thanks. I also subscribe to your channel.

[@jaymz_13]

Love a good remodel...only thing I would have added was some silicone around the bottom of the shower screen mount as the seal only runs along the bottom of the glass...learnt that the hard way when I installed my own shower screen

[@TheJuniorj28]

Looks amazing great job

[@yolandarnathaniel9889]

I want to purchase that shower door. Will you give me the product name and where I can purchase it from? Thank You!

[@cheyennebeeler560]

Do you change anything if you tile all the way up? I guess just make sure between the cement board and drywall that when the tile is being put up its all flush?

[@adamdahan1]

Question: (sorry, if you answered this earlier in the comments, if so feel free to refer me to it) When you ran into the issue of aligning the tub drain and overflow, could you have instead fit the tub to align and make up for space on the wall by adding some 1x2 to support the lip and some extra plaster and tile glue? I know it sounds half ass, but from the way I saw it you were off by so little and rearranging the plumbing in your crawl space seemed like a way tougher job. Could my perspective been a viable and aesthetically pleasing option? Thanks
