Stay tuned for part 2: the tub installation. Should have the video up next week. Thank you for all your comments! You guys rock. BTW floor joists are 2x12 DF and 16 o.c. The tub will sit diagonally over three joists that are approx. only 4’ from the supporting glue lam beam. Great questions!

most plumbers and crews would have told homeowner" find someone else" way to knock it out as a team.. you got a great crew! figure it out and separate yourself from the rest. unbelievable job..

Thank you for message at the end. I struggle terribly with depression and other problems. As a fellow tile guy, thank you and keep up the great work coach!

What a beautiful final words ! This world was made by pure Love ! Finding that Love in each other and the World expands our Souls to a higher Level ! Love is always the Answer ! Keep Tiling !

Great message at the end

This was more exciting than the Last Rambo movie I watched! Nice job! 👍👍🏼👍🏿

Love your videos. This one in particular. I left a job in healthcare, sitting at a desk for 26 years to enter the trades not only for me but to train my son in the industry. The mental health uplift was amazing and there is nothing more rewarding than building. Plus you helped me figure out to install the 900 pound tub my customer requested. :-). Keep up the awesome videos.

You know you're rich when you spend a small fortune on simply getting the tub in the house. Good job guys, glad no one was hurt.

Everybody together working as a team, like we’ve done for probably thousands of years

Awesome job boys. A great applause from my whole team at Vicmovers. We move these tubs on a daily basis. I genuinely know how challenging these can be. Thx for your message at the end. Though pandemic is over but you are right that men's anxiety/depression is as real as it gets.

This is a great video! Thanks Tile coach. Im a rigger and approve of the ingenuity.

digging the new name . You are a master . cheers, jeff is a boss

That was like watching a good horror movie! I was on the edge of my seat!

That’s right tile coach and a dam good one too 🤠

You and your team should be able to lift that lol! Great teamwork! Very good speach at the end. It's very important for men's mental health to be needed and to work especially if you're a tradesmen.

We were created to work and find enjoyment in it. Man, love your videos.

Dont thanks us for watching your amazing video. Thank you for spending your time for making this video for us to watch. Without you recording we have nothing to watch. Thank you, be safe.

Serious jealous of that home owner, that view is beautiful

Looking forward to seeing all the rest❗ The install, the tile, the hardware, you name it. Please, do not let us down❗

Very impressive putting that tub in I can concur with The building trades thing I believe it’s a better opportunity for more men to get into we’ve had this notion that you Go to college and get stuck behind a desk Which is one of the worst things for you I’ve been remodeling my basement and I’ve had a blast doing it and hanging out with the guys

Nice job everyone. Fantastic team effort!

Wow, very professional... Can't find that service in Miami, FL no matter what price you paid..... Great Job Sir!

Very well done

Great job! definitely a head scratcher, but there's always a solution!

LOL, this is so similar to the feel of a technical rope rescue!

This was a great one! Thanks for sharing, your awesome!

Absolutely spot on the the final message. and great ingenuity getting that tub into the house!!

You’re a great ambassador to the trades. I’ll be down by something similar with a heavy vanity and a scissor lift rather than fight the switchback stairs.

Isaac, that was insane !!!! Love watching what you guys are doing !!!

was on the edge of my seat! more thrilling than anything out of hollywood in the last 15 years. ;) well done!

Awesome work dude...great video..all you guys did one hell of a job working together to accomplish such a major task...hope your all very proud of yourselves....keep it up and I love watching yours vids....

Great cool vid, & messages that you have for us. Really appreciate & enjoy listening & watching you. Also, I waited to watch this vid, b/c I wanted to watch next one right after (sorry, know it messes with analytics , but couldn’t help it....knew I’d want more, & didn’t wanna wait, lol). Thx again for being a cool guy, who speaks the truth & from the heart👊🏼( what you say is true, as my Mom is a psychologist etc....) Cheers✌🏼

All the best Isaac and crew, excellent video.

It reminds me of those cartoon bathtubs which have no piping and the water magically comes out of the water spout

Have to install this Native Stone beast in a few months. Fortunately we are on the first floor. Good information. Thanks for the video.

Oh man, I wanted to see how you lifted the tub level to drop it in the drain! That would have been cool to see. I installed a 68x36 acrylic free standing tub against two walls (left and back) yesterday and it took four of us to lift it flat and level and it only weighed 163 lbs. I would have loved to see how you did a 900lb tub.

Once burned, twice shy. I guess I just don't do well working with other people. Working alone and being lonely are different things for me. I like working alone. I don't think anyone likes the feeling of being lonely.

Oh man, this reminds me when I was breaking in drywall, we were hanging a house when the plumbers showed up. I heard them on their phone say the tub weighed about 800 lbs, and that the two of them would ask our 5 man crew to help get it upstairs on tis mansion. I told my dad, we broke for lunch early and took a loooooong 2 hr lunch. When we got back, they just got it upstairs, they were crying, asking where we disappeared to. This just made me giggle a bit

That was intense!!!

what a team work

That was wild man! good work!

Good teamwork guys!

900 lbs yes and the 400 lbs of water and body inside it strong joists 👍😀

So cool bro!! Let’s see the install.?!

Great video!

good watch

Great video

Solving problems like a pro✔️

what is this, home owners needed a cool dinner time stroy for the friends? Great message at the end, thanks

nice man..

we love you!!!

fantastic video. absolute pain in the ass logistically to make something like that happen.

I went to home depo an got the biggest Mexican I can find with brute stranth and I gave them lifting belts and on the tub I belted it with straps no Crain need needed payed each one 80 $each 5 men mexicano we did it in one hr love you vidios

Am I the only one who sees Tom Hanks laughing from the money pit when it falls through the floor?

" How did we get it UPSTAIRS" Did you hire the black guy who was with the movers that brought in our furniture? That guy was a beast. It was late and he wanted to get home to his family and when the other guys would take breaks, he would just load incredibly large pieces of furniture up on his back and carry it upstairs on his own. It was insane! I have never been so impressed by anyone in my life. I'm not much of a tipper, but that guy got a decent tip!

So is 900 pounds sitting permanently in one spot enough weight to require additional floor joists under it?

14:40 Absolutely spot on. 100%

That is no easy task issac but job well done by all of you gentelman. Years ago when i did air compressor installs was not a fun job! But two guys & smaller compressors with 3" pipe as rollers & a come along i tell you a nightmare but always got up to the top of the building. My boss was a tight wad! It would of been easier to helicopter it up onto the roof of (Boeing) instead of doing the ridiculous way we did it. That was one reason i quit to many back injuries & he didn't care about us!

900 lb tub + 50 gallons of water at 8 lbs per gallon = 400lbs + 200 lb person = 1500lbs + tile + mortar. Just installation is 900 lbs + 7 guys is up to 2300lbs. I would assume a house like that has 2x6 studs but still allot of weight

This is probably my most favorite so far.

Who the heck gets a 900lbs tub?! LOL 😂 When that bathroom is done, you should all get to take a bath in it. :)

Geat work! I guess you guys should get a concrete tub from us, it only weighs half the weight, should be a bit easier to handle than this one. 😊

As someone who recently had tile work done for a new house, it is painful to see how much more care and dedication your guys and you put into the customer. We are four months into our new house and still, things are not yet properly finished and by the looks, we will have to pay others to finish it even though we paid premium and had them use premium materials like epoxy grouting (or at least we are told they used it and charged us for it)

I wish I lived in California so I can work with you. Lots of good info and content

That weight could almost use a footing or at least headers and beefed up floor joists. Very nice tub though!

A giant CF.

I would be curious to know how the client likes their tub. I have heard concrete tubs are hard to keep the water warm in them especially if you don't always heat your home in the winter. But this was just one friend who told me her story with a concrete tub.

Wow heavy bath ! How did you strengthen the floor to take the extra weight

good job was the floor re enforced to take weight im just wondering as looking into a stone bath

I'd love to see how you moved it into the final position. I ask because I have a customer with the exact same tub....2 of them.

Tile coach?

I'm surprised the ramp held up...

Issac, does it help that you played football when you were younger to handle these heavy jobs?

9500$ for just the tub. Add delivery and installation.

Hey Isaac what suction cups are those? We have a 350 lb cast iron tub to move and I’ve seen so many different types I’m stuck on which ones to get. The grabo are so expensive I don’t mind the Manual pump ones

Hey TileCoach, what kind of suction cups did you use on that 900 lb tub? I have a similar tub that I'm installing and I'd love to get the right kind of great suction cups!

Hey isaac. Do you guys stay the night up there when doing multi day projects

For any further jobs like this try the methods and equipment that piano movers use which is two 4 wheeled flat dolly's ,2-3 short pipes as rollers and some 6ft. and 3ft. cement forms as ramps or for elevation.the dolly's are the main thing unbelieveable how well they work piano's are no joke easily weighing 600 -800 lbs I've helped move baby grand pianos two floors only using 3 people. Its not me ,but its the equipment used. My boss told me he was taught by an old black gentlemen who would move piano's 2 floors by himself.😯

Did your friend get cut on the glass block? That looked so dangerous. At 8:29 someone was talking about going to the hospital?

Oh man that copper drip edge

What kind of suction cups are those?? We are installing 2 of the same exact tubs and we are STRUGGLING. Thank you!

I would work for this guy any day

Hi tile coach, Can I float a wall 1/4 to 3/4 without mesh? I thank you for your videos.

Did they have to use steel joists to re-enforce the floor to support that weight. That's over a ton of weight when the tub is filled with water.

What is the brand of the suction holders you used?

You guys are nuts. You should have run from this job. Water plus tub you're probably looking at 1,800 pounds. Add a body and you probably have another 250 pounds to worry about.

What is the brand of the suction cups you used?

The first question was how to get that bathtub upstairs, and I can see that in the video. The second question is, how to install a bathtub like that on a second wood floor without destroying the hole house?

900lb + 200lb person + 300lb water = a lot of weight on that floor.

I hope that floor will hold that tub and no termites in the feature,

Big respect for You - your top quality workmanship is is always on point and I really enjoyed watching this video. However you guys took a lot of risks shifting that tub. I am sure the floor has been designed to receive that weight full of water with a person in it. Smashing the glass blocks out in such an ordinary manner made your normal super slick neatness a thing of the past, disappointing there will be glass splinter all over the roof now and in the gutters hopefully that water is not used for drinking or on the garden through a sprinkler system. The old guy seems to know a bit about moving heavy things but I think he should stay in the garage tinkering as in my opinion he does not know what he is doing and took a lot of risks and did not listen - for example as suggested he should have put the ratchet on the back side of the bath and let gravity do the work - looks like he almost got pinned to the wall next to the vanity as that monster made an almost uncontrolled slide down that in adequate ramp. Heaven forbid if something had gone wrong as unless the old guy is the owner no insurance would have covered what was done. You got a way with it and saved some $$'s but the risks taken where evident. Take care and stay safe and I look forward to your next video.

do you have any sugestions on how to get a 500lbs (250kg) upstairs without breaking my or my friends back? :) I live in an apartmant unit at the second floor...

2 years later, checking: is it stil lthere? or it came down crashing the floor under it?? ))

Should have just called Eddie Hall.

What’s the name of the product line for the tub and sinks

Could you do a video about installing a Kohler traditional cast iron 300 pound tub? I want to install one to replace a plastic tub but I can't figure out how to get it up there or how many "friends" I will need. Originally the house had a cast iron tub but it became very hard to clean (too much Comet) and rough and I replaced with plastic but cannot stand the way it feels. I guess the builder, back in 1972, had 3-4 guys (with long hair) get it up there.

How many suckers did it take.??

Looks like it was a lot of farthing lifting that tub 7 guys in a little room.Good job, in the feature l know who to call, Profesional

I’m pretty sure this was the vibes at the pyramids many many moons ago..

tub 900lb + 105 gallons about 874lb if full =1774lb s HEAVY
