Tub Surround Project (part 2)

Dec. 2011. Yes, this is another re-post, and the video seems to be playing correctly now, using an alternative uploader. My apologies for losing everybody's comments.
This turned into a 3-day job!

[@anakinlola]

This is what happens in real life to diy projects! I usually end up going back to the store at least 5 time and always late before they close! Thanks for keeping it real!

[@cfrygirl]

Love the “realness” of the video. Everybody else is so fancy and a lot of them are working on brand new homes. This video shows the real deal 👍

[@edemup44]

A waterproof membrane paint would have went a long way on that wood.

[@Scott1972011]

Mercy, I was needing to watch videos to learn how to my tub, but do it right. Not so much for me but for the people/ family that will be living in the home needing the one and only tub in my home.... isn't that how we are suppose to be thinking.. I think you are thinking that way. Your roofing nails and the application on top of plywood should hold up for many many years. I have no experience in this to know, let's hope so. Thanks for the video

[@glenbutler9611]

Congrats for showing real people how to be resourceful with real projects! And with your new tub walls installed, you can actually take that much needed bath..says your nextdoor neighbor😂

[@SciaticaDrums]

I'm going to be doing this to a 1971 mobile home. It's actually in good shape except for the tub/shower area. I plan on gutting it down to the studs.

[@jasonzupke1474]

Thank you. This is similar to my situation. I’ll probably install the mold resistant drywall instead of plywood like you did.

[@geewhizzerz]

Seriously laughed so hard watching this, but it's just what I needed to see! Doing a similar project this week

[@robertbaker50]

"Kind of work I do". At least you got through it.. I'm struggling, but I'm trying.

[@freckles9176]

This video gave me confidence I am no longer nervous about doing the same project #Gitterdone

[@lwlillie]

Omg! I laughed so much. Loved it! I sound just like him when I'm doing my diy at home! I'm like "Oh well"!! Ha! This is exactly what I'm going through with my shower walls!

[@bluenazz]

The video quality was great this time Jeff! And your work looks even better!

[@rsandoval19741]

I really enjoyed your video you made me laugh in a good way looks good now I got the urge to do mine take care.

[@PK_Diaspora]

Great work Jeff! Thank you for taking time and efforts in putting an excellent video.

[@KansasA]

Awesome videos! (both part 1 & 2) I'm picking up the stuff I need this Wednesday and hope to follow your advice, thanks so much for sharing. :)

[@lynz5619]

Kansas A how did it go? I'm thinking of doing mine soon.

[@michaelthornton8000]

Man, I love yer DIY vid style. Look up the word "Unpretentious" in Webster's and you're gonna find a link to this awesome video. "...It says, Do not apply to plywood. Well guess what? It's gettin applied to Plywood!" -- -- Classic! Sounds exactly like 9/10 DIY'ers at some point in their project. LMAO

[@Jeffnham]

LOL! Thanks! And yes, I don't live in this house anymore!

[@mr88talent]

Thanks for the entertaining video. Sorry about your tub. Maybe your next project could be a tub refinish. BTW, there is a way to make perfect caulking seams. Simply mask off on either side of the future bead, then fill in between the masking tape with caulk. Run your finger over the caulk, pressing down so there is little to no caulk left on the tape, then peel the tape up.

[@MichaelBorne-rh8co]

Should I also caulk/silicone where tub meets luann? Before gluing up my 3 pieces. Thanks! Oh, btw, the faucets are sort of loose, like dangling a lil bit from the removal of bad sheetrock there. Do I need to cut piece of rock or plywood or luann and get them bit more rigid before putting 1/4" luann on the 3 walls? I'm still prepping still for the 3 piece glue on surround coming Tuesday.

[@bluefluke7585]

Super. I wish you had shown more about the top trim, though. That's one of my stalling points. Maybe you address that on your channel. I really like your videos. I relate to your style. Thanx again, Jeff.

[@Jeffnham]

Blue Fluke just used some luan.

[@himarxj10]

Thanks for the real world repair, I liked this video.

[@themaineadventure4687]

10 times better than it was. Nice job.

[@AngelofH08]

Thanks for the video. im trying to figure out how to glue back the siding stuff and didnt know how to do it or what it was even called. Now i do and i now know how to just replace the whole damn thing. lol Thanks bunches.

[@kirkb2286]

Have a similar problem thanks so much for your help

[@JCuervo330]

Most honest video I seen. Tings never go down like they do in real life on most videos which supposedly help... Thanks for the real look, "...not trying to do everything perfect, or correct..." LoL Be Real! Should have known you from Flint!

[@robschoufour4825]

I used a acrylic tub surround and the corner sections pain in the ass to get a flat I put tape on it and everything else it seems that they don't flare those Corners out but they flare in a little bit too much what a pain in the ass

[@jackwnorton1]

This guy is awesome

[@cruithne6021]

1:15 am?? This sounds like me and my DIY home repair projects.

[@donnieray8938]

Super real video...surprised the trolls didn't blast you...Good job man..

[@jonfuc1]

well guess what its getting applied to ply wood

[@jameswood7500]

It looks better...

[@xcheatahx1]

In that linoleum at the top? Is the plywood sitting on the tub or behind it? I've got leaks and I think it should do that

[@WeenukChog]

dude you rock.. you skills r unmatched..."many hours later" lmao ...

[@Jeffnham]

+Jonovision Vader Thanks!

[@fossil-bit8439]

Screw them damn directions about plywood and what not!

[@r5yamaha]

where is the redguard or aquagard water proofing?

[@temeckagoyer7525]

Do you have an DIY projects on bathroom flooring

[@Jeffnham]

No. Sorry.

[@denisegraham4144]

This was a great informative video, well done and thanks for the tips :)

[@maggiebridget126]

Can you tell me what product you used for the top? Thanks!!

[@carlasalas9374]

Are you suppose to hv drywall up behind the walls...i just had a guy replace the tub n plastic walls in one of my bthrms but he did not put drywall up he just attached the walls to the studs

[@Jeffnham]

Supposed to put blue board up, but I didn't do that. This was just an old mobile home.

[@andrewkastel6694]

hey what size tub is that and what is make and model of kit you used im having a hard time finding any thing for my mobile home thanks :)

[@CoolEditz]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@MoreGrievances]

I know you work because you said you do in your video(s). (I heard you say you work AFTER I asked). Glad to hear you're not a free loader...

[@rickpoker]

not trying to do everything perfect or correct.......haha,no kidding!

[@Jeffnham]

Young--ish? Gee thanks! Yes I do work.

[@fossil-bit8439]

Ya gotta watch them damn hot peppers Jeff!

[@Jeffnham]

???

[@fossil-bit8439]

You burned your mouth on lunch or a pepperoni or something

[@Jeffnham]

@@fossil-bit8439 Oh, OK. This was a long time ago. I don't watch my old videos!

[@cfrygirl]

How much did everything cost?

[@Jeffnham]

I don't remember. This was 7 years ago.

[@y2knoproblem]

This should be titled "How Not to Install a Tub Surround"

Just curious is he in prison yet?

[@MoreGrievances]

You look young--ish. Do you work? Yea, I judge.

[@strategicservices9906]

Great video about how not to do contracting work. I hope you don't work as a contractor.

[@Jeffnham]

strategic services HAHAHA

[@nathansteiger2409]

Zero waterproofing, skill, thought put in this at all!Geez just replace that nasty chipped tub it's like $100 and money wasted on luan could have gone towards new tub and actual green board with waterproof tape and mastic, geez this is scary!Do you keep lotion in the basket?

[@Jeffnham]

+Nathan Steiger This was a old mobile home, and it was good enough for that. Cheap repair. It's better than it was before, and there never was any green board. Chipped the tub accidentally with the hammer. It's a good iron tub, can be re glazed. I don't own this house anymore.

[@nathansteiger2409]

+Jeffnham just saying any job you do is worth doing right...

[@sandracox4341]

@@Jeffnham, note to self. "Put a piece of cardboard and towels in the bottom of the tub when working in and around it to avoid the damage when dropping tools.

Meanwhile in 2020 the shower project still isn't complete.
