a professional contractor who THINKS LIKE AN ENGINEER!! that's the guy i want working on my projects

Great to see someone who knows what they are doing! I've been in the remodeling / handy man business for 35 years...... it's great to see your videos that show an honest craftsman!

I’ve been a contractor for the past 16-17 years. Started when I was about 21-22. Wish I worked near you guys to do some collaboration. Y’all seem super positive and conscientious. Keep it up!

In order to be code compliance light fixtures over tub and shower shall be listed for its use .🎉sealed. And for sure switches and receptacles need to out of reach from shower or tub. Great work .

Nice work guys. Really makes me feel good about the world to know that there are people out there trying to do the job right even when the client will never know. Great stuff.

I don't know anything about construction/renovation but holy shit watching these is so soothing

That flange and drain set up looks so much cleaner than what was installed in my 2016 build. You wouldn’t believe how much this affects your shower pan drainage over time. Between personal hygiene and regular cleanings, an improper or lackadaisical drain install will wreck havoc over time-an no one wants the Grand Canyon to emerge from underneath their feet-especially one that may contain moldy hair and debris!… In case you hadn’t heard it as of late, thank y’all for sharing your work, tips, and tricks- and for demonstrating decency, proficiency, professionalism, and basic humanitarianism. Complacency tends to breed faster than competency and is a great disservice to craftsmanship-amongst so many other things. Thank you 🙏 Stay blessed

I've been binge watching this series of bathroom videos and it's really helping get me in the mood for my impending kitchen remodel! You're a man of my own heart taking that extra bit of time to do stuff properly and we clearly share a love of pocket hole screws! When I did my bathroom a few years back, the pocket hole jig was probably my most used tool after the tile saw! I really like the quality of your work and the clarity of your videos - keep it up!

Your videos serve or rather help you in not only teaching/ communicating to us but mainly to your son. As I can't think ,what better way a son can approve of his father's business and motivate then to have thousands of viewers . Thanks for the life lessons.

I need those lights. Worth the whole video. Thank you

You hard rock tunes are quite enjoyable.

Really enjoy watching these videos , they have helped me a ton . Thanks for recording your projects .

You can also use a plastic frosting piping bag or a gallon ziploc with the corner nipped off.

Nice work guys and glad both flanges came out nicely! Great to see both methods in same video. Keep up the great work this week!

You’re a good and detailed teacher. Thank you

Great video, renovations have to b the most pain in the ass type of work out there and u guys make it look easy. Great job!!

It is good to see a contractor that is not afraid to use lights, to many are

Going be epic when your finished love them tiles! Superb job guys

Job goes better with the proper tools and lights to see what you are doing! Great video, thank you!

Have you guys ever tried a heat gun on the socket of the flange? It still needs 1 cut to get it started but it will usually peel off quite easy. This is something we do in New Zealand. Awesome vids guys keep it up!

Enjoy your guy's videos ..don't stop fellas

Another awesome video. Really like how you guys look out for the homeowner/client. Good dudes!

Love your channel! Thanks for sharing your talent.

I know that 3 years later you won't be reading this but thank you for always having the exact video that I need!!

Excellent video Thanks!

Well done ! When homeowners ask me best type of fan. I refer to Panasonic also.

Excellent video!

Doing great Guys! big up from Toronto!

My favorite video so far.

Awesome trick on the PVC flange remover. That could save some head aches. Someday. Thanks

Awesome work...

13:40 you can put tile on hardy backer because you use red guard. Which the old shower did have red guard. I think Paul was right on what he said at the beginning

Love that you guys use selectable color temp lights. When you can't just change out a bulb, that's a must-have feature.

Learned a few things as always. Another good one and the bathroom is coming together very well. Great tips on drain replacement and the easy can light replacement too. It’s PAUL Y’ALL! PAUL.....And of course Jordan.

Great job guys, Thank you for teaching us your tricks in the trade. Also great camera and video work. New subscriber.

I have never seen a saw blade like that before.....I guess that is why I was a fireman...Enjoying your channel....

My new fave channel

Hey Paul. Good thing you used up the thin set for that hole in floor. The self leveler doesn’t like to be troweled. Jerry from Fresno

“NICE” - Jordan

Interior pipe cutter bit blew my damn mind. There’s a million times I coulda used that. Gonna get me one. Thx

Thanks for showing how easy it is to install those lights! I think I can do that now!

The Halo retrofit cans are great - so are the Utilitech canless. The selectable color temperature is a real game change for LED fixtures, too - softer 2700K or 3000K in bedrooms, 3500K to 4000K for baths and kitchens, and 5000K for work areas. I installed some recently in a remodel and LOVE the canless LEDs. I personally like to put two 3 or 4 inch lights in showers, depending on the size (two 3" in a smaller shower like this one), to help minimize shadows from just having one single light.

Ohhh no!!! How in heaven did you use the Sheetrock/joint compound knife with the tin set!!!😃

Happy new year! Thanks for the great and educational videos!! I love to see the joy it gives you to take the time to record and edit those vids in order to educate us. Can I come and work with you guys?

I hope the kid that’s always talking in the background realizes he’s getting a world class working mans PhD for presumably free.

Great job guys!! It is worth noting that for properly dimming LEDs, you need to buy a dimmer meant for dimming LEDs

Did this before it works good but if you deal with a stubborn and stuck from the glue you can use slow drying xylene to break the glue bond

You guys got lucky must not have been really old glue joint. Ive had good luck using a hole saw over the pipe

We did a bathroom remodel two years ago. After removing the two toilets I stuffed newspaper down the cast iron pipe. In the middle of the night I heard a scratching sound. Sure enough, a sewer rat was trying to gain access to the house. I put a 2 x 8 bit of scrap with a sledge hammer on top to keep the little bugger at bay. The next day I got two expansion plugs in place. The internal pipe cutter is great, thanks.

Old school plastic hub removal from pipe. One doesn't see that everyday. I screwed up often enough I had to learn it on my own. Until I figured it out I was ready to go back to lead and oakum.

I guess you could use a trash bag to get the thinset underneath the drain

Would ya look at that. Good video guys.

New subscriber, great informative video!

You are most DEFINITELY a craftsman. I I may ask where are located. I would love to hire you. I flip houses for a living, and you do outstanding work. Do it the right way is the only way... AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME Work....

Great videos. Lots of help on projects I’m working on or plan to do. New sub here thanks guys keep it up

dude is awesome

All seriousness aside. great job. :)

You guys need to look into a PVC hub saver tool only about 30$ each size doing remodel work would save you

I can't with that ear ring George micheal

run my kerdi horizontal in shower so can weather it like roofing felt then over kill seams painted wit redgard always add fancy ninche or 2 sometimes smaller 1 low so home owner can put their hoof in warsh they hocks n hoofs easier lol good work keep vids coming

All seriousness aside I love this video

There always gotta be 10 haters to dislike the video Fucking sad get life haters!! Great job man love all the hard work you guys share!

love the videos, but ur kinda like pawn shop tv series - u always have tricks to do job, like they always have a specialist for any topic waiting behind the corner :D

I use a heat gun to warm the joint. Usually comes off clean.

I was surprised that you did not cover the SHOWER DRAIN with some masking tape before you injected the thin-set under it... I like watching how you solve problems... BEST

Would you put a water proofing membrane on a ceiling especially if it’s in a walk in shower?

Jordan is actually a soundboard. Also people really do love those 12x24s now. If I could give you a tip, mapeis thinset is much better than schluters

👍👍

I’ve installed some led retrofit can lights from Costco but they are not completely flush with the ceiling. The old can lights seemed to be painted or siliconed to the ceiling (I had to cut around the rim of the housing to get it off cleanly). Do you recommend adding some caulk to the rim of the lights to get the lights adhered to the ceiling/flush? I’m also wondering if it’s okay to have a slight gap if these are installed in a bathroom.

Mad skills man! MAD skills! :-) On the fill under the drain flange, I believe I'd think about finding an alternative to the thinset for a fill like that. Being that big, the thinset will not set up correctly and thinset will shrink, quite a bit actually, more or less depending on the manufacturer who's product you're using. Your flange will probably be ok but, thinset can really pull stuff out of whack as it sets up when there are variable thicknesses and/or over-thicknesses of it under what your doing. That's a big part of why they say to not use thinset to fill holes, low spots, and variances in general in the substrate. Once again though: Mad skills man..... much respect. :-)

This dude is serious

👍

Interesting that the new outlet you put in there fixes to the *outside* of the floor drain, that just seems so backwards, especially when the floor drain now has divots in it from the drilling. I would still be worried about that not being a great connection.

A PVC socket saver would have done an easier job and more cleaner, but that turned out well also. New subscriber

Hey man you guys do work in CA?

Was it a conscious decision to not make the shower handicap accessible? To make the curb lower and using a shower door with a good bottom seal would minimize that hurdle. A good friend after building a dream home broke his back and wound up starting over due to so many areas that needed extensive changes. The comprises in a design may be worth it in the long picture.

Great work guys, what part of the country are you guys in?

1 With the curb the cut "open" end doesn't get filled in with a piece of block/brick? 2 The AllSET doesn't require priming to bond to the concrete?

Another great video gang. Is there a reason you didn’t put an exhaust fan in the shower area? Maybe there is one and I just didn’t see it? I’m in Arkansas and that’s actually code here.

They are so fortunate to have found a contractor like you! Are you in the Sacramento area by chance?

Why not use the schluter foam shower pan

Interesting that the shower flange was glued to the outside of the drain pipe (3:03) while the toilet flange was glued inside the drain pipe (5:35). Is that the "standard"? I.e., shower drain flange goes around the shower drain pipe, while toilet flange goes inside drain pipe? Thanks.

Hey Stud Pack! Not sure if you'll see this? I'm doing a shower redo myself. Have you guys tried the Flo FX flange? It cost $45 plus $5 shipping

Paging Dr. Paul, Paging Dr. Paul. We have an emergency flange removal STAT! LoL!

What brand is the one you used for waterproofing?

The work, as always, is great and all ... but c'mon Paul ... you can't wear horizontal stripes on camera! Believe I went on some kind of psychedelic trip with that moiré pattern. Mind trip aside, fascinating work and high quality.

The way that fitting just tapped off shows it wasn’t glued properly

Ever use Wedi? Subscibed!

Jordan only said "nice" 5 times in this video. What's up with that? LOL j/k . You guys are awesome!

Great job, Just wash your hands again!!

damn thats what that blade in my tool box is for...I used my nice m12 dremel and got shit all over it lol

5:55 “ Hijo de la chinchín “ because it’s not cooperating!!

11:09 I don't understand, you shortened the whole thing, then you cut to length. Wasnt that wasteful? Wouldnt it be better to first cut it to length, and then the correct piece shortened? This way u would be left for the second part untouched ready for use somewhere else...?

Why didn’t they use a curb less walk in shower

Why have a kerb? A wet room would be a lot more user friendly...

Enjoying the videos. The music has to go. I think Jordan should let his dad pick the music.

"All seriousness aside" ???

Mice don't like bright lights. All of the tenants are going to move out.

Should have taken out that stupid tub (that nobody ever uses). A freestanding tub would be a great improvement. Oh well!

Many years now. I am not convinced Kerdi is the way to go. I still think Permabase is the way to go. Cement vs styrofoam Hmmm. The one thing Schluter has is the fact that in America if it rhymes and sounds cool we are all for it and how can it be bad if it has such a catchy name. You will never convince me that if some 300 lb fatty is dancing in the shower on penny tiles supported by Styrofoam is going to hold up over a solid cement based shower pan, no way. The grout is going to fail and flake. I'll just stop here. I could go on and on. Plus there is no proof its actually better. Its better at lining Old Man Schluter's pockets and thats about it.
