Removing old tiles in a bathroom shower, a new shower valve/tiles get installed off camera. Installing an exhaust fan, fixing the shower valve after it didn't work right.
Andrew Camarata replaces an old shower valve diverter with a new shower valve diverter, along with the new bathroom wall tiles, plus a ventilating bathroom fan.
@@chrisgraham2904 Im a tiling contractor and a while back i had a 4 metre high wall to tile in heavy 60x30 porcelain. I'd left my usual spacers on a job and went to pick some up from the store. Should have known better and noticed they were hollow and crap. Tiled the wall in rapid set, came back from lunch and spacers had all crushed down to almost nothing! Luckily had time to strip wall and save tiles.
Love to see you helping out getting things done for your folks. Done many such jobs for my parents over the years and now it’s nice to have our kids helping us. It’s what family is all about. :-)
I can only imagine what Levi would have thought if he was in the bathroom and saw Cody doing that... he would’ve been shaking his head like what the heck is wrong with this fool pup...
@@trudaroof Sure, it's 'on him.' But a plumber who did not even test the thing they installed would receive neither repeat business nor a recommendation from me. Draw your own conclusions.
I have a chum who's flat had no U bend on the shower, so that whiffed just a bit, and the loo cistern filled with hot water! Think the plumber was a bit miffed with someone during the build!
@@somethingtrulyhorrifying // Thanks for volunteering. It always happens to the ones with the most twisted view of the value of those made in Gods image.
This is his parents house where he lives most the time. It's not the container castle. I doubt his dad wants stainless steel shower in their colonial house.
Andy i lost my dog last night suddenly, she was 4yrs old. Just seeing the young youth in Cody playing in that tub has just eased that ache a little and i smiled. Thank You.
I kinda know how that feels like 😔😣, my family (parents, sisters, and I) lost our golden retriever at about 6 1/2 years old at about September of 2014 to cancer. Our dog was put down in the final stages upon learning that our dog had it.😔😣😥😢😭😰😓
"And here is the progress on day 2... They've got all the Durorock up..." I have never heard someone mask their utter disbelief that someone else could work that slowly, as well as Andrew did there!
Insulated for sure. I also have that switch (for something else) but I would have bought one where the bottom switch was timed for the fan. Very convenient.
@@isaactaylor1833 Mask tape off the yellow and give her a couple of shots of good rattle can white enamel which you have in the work shop any way. The wife wanted all the beige duplex receptacles and cover plates changed to white in our huge living room and dinning room . Yes Dear! A little masking tape, Good rattle can white enamel. Presto, done. Wife said you got that done fast. I said oh you get good at this electrical stuff after a while. No one is going to crawl on their belly with a Sherlock Holmes magnifying Glass to check her out. Right Watson?
I'd think checking the water temp for appropriate hot and cold would be a standard check off the list after doing a job like that...good thing you're handy. Great video.
Well there`s my laugh out loud today,.when Cody jumped in the tub and Andrew turned on the shower, that is really a funny thing to watch. Good on ya Andrew, for putting this bright spot in my day,..Thanks!
It’s not that bad. You don’t need gloves I guess maybe my skin is thicker then others been doing construction for 10 years and my dad for 40 and grandpa retired for I believe 60 he retired at 80 and he’s 97 now still strong 💪! But the tile guy was real slow I would of had that durock and most of the tile done in 1 day easy those are big tiles.
Yep. Always remove the cartridge prior to soldering. Even if you don't melt/damage the cartridge, the excess solder will most likely work its way to the fine screens on the cartridge, blocking them and killing your water pressure.
OMG I have never laughed so hard when Cody was trying to eat the shower stream. Such a good boy you have there. Thanks for the video. Really a bright light for me today.
Ha ha excellent video as always, the vent install was cool to watch as being something completely different from your usual projects... then Cody comes in and completely steals the show!! I can’t believe how lucky you are two have two of the cutest smartest dogs as Levi and Cody.
Never thought or heard about using a hole saw to make an access hole for wiring. Great idea as you can use the plug to fill the hole. Don’t know how many times I cut a square hole and had a few mudding sessions getting it filled right
I would recommend putting some kind of sealant at the top of the valve assembly. You could have water run down the tile and get inside the wall and start doing damage.
froto baggins I never trust those. I place a small bead of clear 100% silicone on the top half of the plate. But I’m usually working on places above neighbors where any leak will be a huge deal.
Hey Andrew, the exhaust flex hose needs an insulation. Its in the cold area of the crawl space. The warm air from the bath would condensat in winter times, You get water in the hose and it could rinse back thru the vent into the room.
warm air will never condensate you put a hot cup of coffee outside in the winter it dose not condensate Now if you run the bath fan in the summer the cold air exhausting will condensate put a cold soda outside in the summer it condensates
Holy cow, 2 days to install durarock. That's insane.. Andrew, I've seen what you have done in the past, don't doubt yourself, you have amazing talents.
It’s a beautiful bathroom you helped your parents to get, love the design of the shower and the light contact. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family.
Yep, I would have changed-out the old GFCI electrical outlet for a new white one (to match the new install for the exhaust fan). But, hey, that's just me.....everything needs to match. 😎
Andrew, friendly advice on the fan install: 1) check the model against the panasonic site/info in manual and or box. many of these fans are set up to work with modules that can turn on the fan and/or light when there is excess moisture or when they detect motion. the modules are not too expensive and automate things in case users forget to run the fan or don't run it long enough (the motion detector works with a timer: 20 min of run time after it detects movement) while the moisture sensor turns the fan on when the humidity in the room reaches a certain percentage (relative humidity) 2) I would recommend getting rid of that corrugated exhaust duct and replacing it with an insulated hard pipe. The corrugated flex makes the fan work harder than it needs to (the motor regulates according to whatever CFM requirements are dialed in) and, more importantly, exhausting warm air into a cold attic can lead to unwanted condensation. If you used insulated smooth pipe, the fan would be quieter and work more efficiently.
Also, the light bleeding out past the canned lights indicates the need for air sealing around those. Check them out to see if they are insulation contact approved and seal those gaps. It looks like that's not enough insulation for NY but I'd have to see the whole house to comment beyond that.
Your tile installer didn’t tape and seal The joints of the durarock and also didn’t do any water membrane on top of it. Hate to say it but you might encounter water issues down the road. Also I’d get some insulated duct and the foil duct tape for your fan or you might get mold and the connection will come loose with regular old duct tape
I was screaming this into the phone. You have to have a waterproof membrane behind the cement board. It is shower and tub building 101! Additionally, they usually roll on a coat of waterproofing over all of the cement board as an extra barrier. Waterproofing membrane. Cement board. Tape seams. Roll on waterproofing....then tile.
Yes to both of those unfortunately. I just replaced a 50 year old bathroom exhaust fan (I wish I only installed cleanly!) that was tricky to remove - from the attic even, and put in the proper insulated ductwork with foil tape. Also did the vent on my roof for it. As for the bathroom, just seal up the cement board properly, couple coats of water proofing, best video on it: ruclips.net/video/nRlZAjtEQ_8/видео.html I plan on redoing my full bathroom in 4 months.
yes the correct way to install a wall surround is to first tack up 4 mill plastic on the wall studs before the cement board goes on and fiber tape the joints and trowel on thin set , did you notice the black mold on the insulation when Andrew removed the old tile ? it didn't have a moisture barrier either also that ventilation fan flex ducting needs to be insulation or it will make condensation in the winter and water will collect in the lens under the light ,
Hey Andrew. I really appreciate that you are not intimidated by any job no matter how big. I'm a 17 year Navy vet with massive arthritis. You inspire me to get moving regardless of pain. God Bless you
Does it give away that we've all been watching Andrew's adventures long enough, that when he describes the faults of the bathroom, we're already troubled by the absence of the sound of a chop saw idling in the background? Or that he's not pointing the faults out from the seat in his track loader?
Andrew, i´m a professional tiler and i can tell you that you can do a job like this very easy! Especially with the leveling system everyone can do a good job with tiles. Greetings from Germany.
It is weird to imagine a Lab that doesn’t like baths.. usually all the funky water they get into outside leaves their skin itchy.. I have a Malinois that won’t stay OUT of the shower.. pushes the curtain open an hops right in with anyone in there.. the startled screams are hilarious... He is a very clean boy.. but I never thought a shepherd would like water.. pools, beach, rivers.. Nice job being there for your parents.. they’re lucky to have a kid like you watching out for them... they raised a good man ( you). Few parents are as fortunate.
I just watched this with my 2 year old. He thought Cody was hilarious. Everytime he came into shot he would almost stop breathing with fits of giggles. Very cute. Loved the video Andrew! X
Cody is so silly . Really proud of how Cody handled the shower. Like a trooper. I had a collie-shep who used to attack water. Loved the ocean and would gladly attack the waves. Used to try and play with the porpoises.
Lol! Cody cracks me up, being the best of himself! :D Beware of condensation running back into the fan assy (or worse: on the ceiling) when the attic is cold!
Andrew can literally do ANYTHING!! I mean it is insane to see how much he can fix and how creative he is. Good work buddy, keep it up! love your videos
We just did our master bath- floors , walls, plumbing, new shower stall, toilet, sinks and vanity top. The only thing we didn’t do ourselves was the plumbing. But everything else is peachy keen! 😀 i did the demo, tile floors and walls (sheetrock, mud, sanding, priming and painting.) hubby did financial and rough carpentry. Plumber did the new hookups and installed shower base and vanity top(marble, weighed 200 lbs!) It is beautiful! PS, i think your job is Cody approved, and he’s definitely a bathdog!
@@WayneJohnsonZastil Same old story. It is never anyone's responsability. Testing it and at least telling Andrew the part was bad would be the least he could have done in my book...
When installing wiring in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rms, and garages, they should be controlled by 20amp dedicated circuits, which means #12 gauge wire back to the panel connected to a 20amp circuit breaker. I noticed you used a #14 gauge wire going to the exhaust fan from the switch via the load side of the GFCI plug, it should be a #12 gauge because you are coming from the GFCI which should be rated for 20amp. Also you should splice the wires together and have 1 wire go to the load side of the GFCI receptacle. . FYI for all the info you given to me over the last few videos. Thanks for all your help
The primary issue with modern plumbing fixtures is the built in water-saver. It’s nothing more than a restrictive water passage that’s designed in by the manufacturer. When the idea was first launched, it was somewhat optional. If you wanted a decent amount of water flow at decent pressure, there was a plastic insert that created the restriction that could be unscrewed and removed by the consumer. Then they stopped using the plastic part but the restriction was cast in right inside the water inlet and running a drill bit a couple of fractional sizes bigger did the trick. Most recently, they designed the restriction further inside the fixture. I haven’t figured out to defeat that one yet but I HATE the low flow and low pressure that the tree huggers force upon me. I’ll build my own out of two ball valves if necessary.
Your comment at16:35 about turning down the hot water heater is what I did several years ago therefore we do not have to use the cold water at all in the shower, we like it like that. You do great work on all your project and every parent should have their children watch and learn your work ethics. Keep up the good work and hope you and your family are doing good in these Coronavirus days.
You might be safer not to turn the temperature down, it should be over 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Legionella bacteria will multiply at lower temperatures, between 68 - 115 Fahrenheit. Legionella pneumonia is very bad for elderly people. Case fatality is high, without immediate strong antibiotics.
That's alright I'm a carpenter and build bathroom, but today I rented a t550 bobcat with a grapple bucket. Leveled out 8yards of topsoil and cut 2 50ft fir trees down and loaded 2 dump trailers haha! Determination is the key to getting things done, that's what this channel's about! Keep up the good work Andrew!!
That's pretty much the sentiment of all skilled work, I believe - "learn by doing". Of course, me being a truck driver, it's still the same there. You're not fully learned because you've got a license; you just know how to safely(arguably) operate the tool. The actual learning comes when you work with the tool.
Honestly if you watch his older videos I'd say he got to where he is now exactly because of that sentiment. He's not afraid to try something, even if he fucks up at first. So many people (break out my grandpa pants and rocking chair) "these days" are so petrified of being wrong that they don't ever try new things.
Man this video is NOT an advertisement for the quality of American tradesmen... Plumber can’t be bothered testing something he installed... Tiler cuts and lays tiles nicely but inexplicably doesn’t waterproof, or tape the sheets. Just seems like corner cutting all day long.
Not to mention how long it took the tile guys to finish. 2 days to rock it and another 3 or 4 to set 60 ft of tile. Holy cow I hope he didn’t pay em by the hour.
everyone has different ideas about what kind of waterproofing is necessary for showers. could be fine for 20+ years, or it could start leaking in 5. really depends on a variety of factors.
@@roberson644 Uh no, it's a fact that grout is porous, durock is porous, thinset is porous, and even tile is porous. Which means moisture will 100% get behind the walls. It's a waste to do all that work just to have to do it over again.
When I clicked on this I thought two things: 1: Sweet! A New Camarata video! 2: How are you going to get a skidsteer in there to pull those tiles down? haha! Love your videos man. Keep it up!
Andrew C. Was cool with the Dog in the Tub !! Also was NICE to see you Video things that you do Around the Home to help your Folks out !! Thank you for your Time !!
Andrew i totally agree with you about the vent in the bathroom it is very important. i did without one for years and now i have one, also a good stove hood for kitchen/cooking whole house ventilation is a great idea. i am a ventilation fanatic. also, carefully wipe down the shower tile, tub, and shower door or curtain after every shower or bath. that will keep that gorgeous new tile and vintage tub like new. beautiful work and you have a beautiful bathroom.
10:38 yes change the yellow socket for white, and swap the surround from silver to white also. You've done ninety percent of the work the last ten percent makes it look awesome.
Andrew: "I maybe coulda done this..." 🤔 YT: "Dude. Two words: Chainsaw. Dashboard." 😂 Your mom would disown you. You're great at excavating and demolition. Keep up the good work, and give props to the tile guy for doing a great job. 👍😁
It was unprofessional of the plumber to leave a job without testing the valve, and leaving the job unfinished. I would not use or refer that plumber. Q- Did you fix the insulation before the backer board went up?
@@davidnichols1363 Green board or Green rock is for damp locations not WET areas. Green Rock was never intended to be used as a tile backer in a shower stall.
And imagine, over here in Europe (for me Germany) 240V Country, you dont only have the Bath secured with that GFCI. No, the complete house is secured with a (so called) RCD - Residial Current Detector, here called "FI-Schutzschalter" or "Fehlerstrom-Schutzschalter".
In 2020, you normally have 2 RCDs per floor. If you mix your lights with the RCDs, you can trip one and you still have working lights in the other room.
Its nice to see you helping your dad,we get old and sometimes we need a little help but don't want to as anyone for help ? Your dog sure liked the shower, but most of all, he likes being with you.. Thank's,See Ya Texas..
For anyone watching and thinking about doing this themselves an oscillating tool will go right trough the grout lines and backer board will relative ease. You can cut out a big chunk and then use two pry bars or something like them to giggle the piece loose. Use a utility knife to cut through the caulk on the tub and up the corners then along the top were tile meets paint to make nice clean edges.
I loved the way Cody tried to bite the water. Oh yeah, Andrew don't be worried about what the trolls say concerning the water pressure. Not everybody can afford to RE--PLUMB the whole house to fix a bad shower surround. This is the Andrew Camarata Channel, not This Old House.
Thanks for the footage of Cody in the bath, that was crack up seeing him trying to bite the water. He is obviously great therapy for you when you get stressed out.
Out of all the videos I e watched of this guy I’ve never seen him complain about anything. He might have wanted things to go differently but never complains about it he just fixes it. A lesson for all of us.
I recently hired a remodeled, a little bigger, bathroom with all new tile, sink, toilet, tub, fan, and built in linen closet for $7800 in Texas. Great video 👍. Eaglegards...

With large format tiles, it's wise to let the first few rows set for a day or two before you build more weight upon them.

Also.. No Low spots for water to collect and cause mold. Go high from the fan then slope down to the gable vent...
Dont use duct tape. Use foil tape.

Andrew, friendly advice on the fan install: 1) check the model against the panasonic site/info in manual and or box. many of these fans are set up to work with modules that can turn on the fan and/or light when there is excess moisture or when they detect motion. the modules are not too expensive and automate things in case users forget to run the fan or don't run it long enough (the motion detector works with a timer: 20 min of run time after it detects movement) while the moisture sensor turns the fan on when the humidity in the room reaches a certain percentage (relative humidity) 2) I would recommend getting rid of that corrugated exhaust duct and replacing it with an insulated hard pipe.

Your tile installer didn’t tape and seal
The joints of the durarock and also didn’t do any water membrane on top of it. Hate to say it but you might encounter water issues down the road.
Also I’d get some insulated duct and the foil duct tape for your fan or you might get mold and the connection will come loose with regular old duct tape
I was screaming this into the phone. You have to have a waterproof membrane behind the cement board. It is shower and tub building 101!
Additionally, they usually roll on a coat of waterproofing over all of the cement board as an extra barrier.
Waterproofing membrane. Cement board. Tape seams. Roll on waterproofing....then tile.
Yes to both of those unfortunately. I just replaced a 50 year old bathroom exhaust fan (I wish I only installed cleanly!) that was tricky to remove - from the attic even, and put in the proper insulated ductwork with foil tape. Also did the vent on my roof for it.
As for the bathroom, just seal up the cement board properly, couple coats of water proofing, best video on it:
ruclips.net/video/nRlZAjtEQ_8/видео.html
I plan on redoing my full bathroom in 4 months.
yes the correct way to install a wall surround is to first tack up 4 mill plastic on the wall studs before the cement board goes on and fiber tape the joints and trowel on thin set , did you notice the black mold on the insulation when Andrew removed the old tile ? it didn't have a moisture barrier either also that ventilation fan flex ducting needs to be insulation or it will make condensation in the winter and water will collect in the lens under the light ,
Clearly, the plumber doesn't realize he's dealing with a guy that could tear his house down in a couple of hours...
😂
And rebuild a jet ski on his lunch break. 😅
And pick up every single scrap with no evidence of any house lol
Buddy, not even a couple of hours. Haha
What? Tear the plumber's house down. Ha Ha. Where's it gone?????
Hey Andrew. I really appreciate that you are not intimidated by any job no matter how big. I'm a 17 year Navy vet with massive arthritis. You inspire me to get moving regardless of pain. God Bless you
the worst that can happen is that you need to do it again lkol thats how i think
You can tell the tile guy was a real pro, took his time and made it look nice. Must have been doing it for a long time or just is really careful
Does it give away that we've all been watching Andrew's adventures long enough, that when he describes the faults of the bathroom, we're already troubled by the absence of the sound of a chop saw idling in the background?
Or that he's not pointing the faults out from the seat in his track loader?
Chop saws idle?
@FoxRcng708 I always thought a "chop saw" referred to a miter saw.
As much as Levi likes water I'm surprised he hates baths so bad. Cody was having a blast though.
Dogs don't want to loose their scent. It is their identity. I give my dog a bath then he goes outside and rolls in horse crap. Very frustrating.
Andrew, i´m a professional tiler and i can tell you that you can do a job like this very easy! Especially with the leveling system everyone can do a good job with tiles. Greetings from Germany.
It is weird to imagine a Lab that doesn’t like baths.. usually all the funky water they get into outside leaves their skin itchy..
I have a Malinois that won’t stay OUT of the shower.. pushes the curtain open an hops right in with anyone in there.. the startled screams are hilarious... He is a very clean boy.. but I never thought a shepherd would like water.. pools, beach, rivers..
Nice job being there for your parents.. they’re lucky to have a kid like you watching out for them... they raised a good man ( you). Few parents are as fortunate.
I just watched this with my 2 year old. He thought Cody was hilarious. Everytime he came into shot he would almost stop breathing with fits of giggles. Very cute. Loved the video Andrew! X
I didn't know Andrew was gonna be on a episode of "this old House"🔨🔧
@@rsprockets7846 no it's the original 'This Old House" show and Rich Trethewy wasn't there cause Andrew didn't do any "actual" plumbing. 😬😁
Cody is so silly . Really proud of how Cody handled the shower. Like a trooper. I had a collie-shep who used to attack water. Loved the ocean and would gladly attack the waves. Used to try and play with the porpoises.
Lol! Cody cracks me up, being the best of himself! :D
Beware of condensation running back into the fan assy (or worse: on the ceiling) when the attic is cold!
12:00
Andrew: "Go ahead and try it"
*fan kicks up 30 year old dust*
Andrew: "Alright TuRn iT off!"
Got me cracking up over here. Good work as always.
Why do you write it like this with these upper and lower case letters? stupid
@@kingdave294 You're too old
@@kingdave294 I like your fancy use of eszett! ßtupid
This comment is hilarious. I had the same thought
@@SebastianSteele because I read it.
Andrew can literally do ANYTHING!! I mean it is insane to see how much he can fix and how creative he is. Good work buddy, keep it up! love your videos
Seems that he can't do plumbing or tiling!
@@nickturner2813 he's a little rough with the finish work, as soon as his dad saw his stereo install video with a chainsaw he called the tile guy.😲
@@nickturner2813 I think he was probably vetoed there lol
We just did our master bath- floors , walls, plumbing, new shower stall, toilet, sinks and vanity top. The only thing we didn’t do ourselves was the plumbing. But everything else is peachy keen! 😀 i did the demo, tile floors and walls (sheetrock, mud, sanding, priming and painting.) hubby did financial and rough carpentry. Plumber did the new hookups and installed shower base and vanity top(marble, weighed 200 lbs!) It is beautiful! PS, i think your job is Cody approved, and he’s definitely a bathdog!
Levi hates baths but has no problem jumping into a dirty pond outside. Dog logic.
@16:07 That is a Plumper i wouldn't call again. Wonder if he even bothered to test it to see if it was working right after the install.
Not his part else would have done they bought the parts btw
@@WayneJohnsonZastil Same old story. It is never anyone's responsability. Testing it and at least telling Andrew the part was bad would be the least he could have done in my book...
My "plumper" would've atleast told me the valve was bad , and to contact moen for a replacement.😄
@12:00 I like the immediate ALRIGHT TURN THAT O.. after Andrew told his dad to test it.
Cody made it the best bath repair in history!!!
When installing wiring in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rms, and garages, they should be controlled by 20amp dedicated circuits, which means #12 gauge wire back to the panel connected to a 20amp circuit breaker. I noticed you used a #14 gauge wire going to the exhaust fan from the switch via the load side of the GFCI plug, it should be a #12 gauge because you are coming from the GFCI which should be rated for 20amp. Also you should splice the wires together and have 1 wire go to the load side of the GFCI receptacle. . FYI for all the info you given to me over the last few videos. Thanks for all your help
Did we just see Andrew read instructions!! A first, for sure.
Pity he didn't read the fan template instructions. Could've put an extra one in the gaping hole :)
Only bad thing about Andrew's videos is that eventually there's an ending. Thanks for keeping us entertained!
When the tile wasn't coming off very well, I imagined hearing the sound of a diesel excavator starting up. :-)
I am surprised there was not a piece of heavy equipment involved.
🤣🤣
Time to get the Hitachi
As always love the videos Andrew. Keep up the amazing work brother. God Bless you and the family.
Come on you could of easily got an excavator in there 🤣🤣
@Elijah MCGUIGAN same here !
that water pressure is pitiful man
Yeah I wouldn't want to have to wash my hair, I'd be in there for an hour.
Should check pressure in tank.
I don’t think he had the valve open all the way because when he had Cody in there at the end the pressure seemed normal
@@turbocat1984 Are you a Rastafarian?
The primary issue with modern plumbing fixtures is the built in water-saver. It’s nothing more than a restrictive water passage that’s designed in by the manufacturer. When the idea was first launched, it was somewhat optional. If you wanted a decent amount of water flow at decent pressure, there was a plastic insert that created the restriction that could be unscrewed and removed by the consumer. Then they stopped using the plastic part but the restriction was cast in right inside the water inlet and running a drill bit a couple of fractional sizes bigger did the trick. Most recently, they designed the restriction further inside the fixture. I haven’t figured out to defeat that one yet but I HATE the low flow and low pressure that the tree huggers force upon me. I’ll build my own out of two ball valves if necessary.
Your comment at16:35 about turning down the hot water heater is what I did several years ago therefore we do not have to use the cold water at all in the shower, we like it like that. You do great work on all your project and every parent should have their children watch and learn your work ethics. Keep up the good work and hope you and your family are doing good in these Coronavirus days.
You might be safer not to turn the temperature down, it should be over 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Legionella bacteria will multiply at lower temperatures, between 68 - 115 Fahrenheit. Legionella pneumonia is very bad for elderly people. Case fatality is high, without immediate strong antibiotics.
That's alright I'm a carpenter and build bathroom, but today I rented a t550 bobcat with a grapple bucket. Leveled out 8yards of topsoil and cut 2 50ft fir trees down and loaded 2 dump trailers haha! Determination is the key to getting things done, that's what this channel's about! Keep up the good work Andrew!!
12:07 *dust cloud gets bigger and bigger* ALRIGHT TURN IT OFF! lol
Brandon White beat me to it
I laughed so hard 😂
His voice didn't sound like he was wearing a mask at the moment and that insulation dust is pretty shitty even on newer insulation
“But it’s a good way to learn” I never thought i’d hear those words come out of Andrew
That's pretty much the sentiment of all skilled work, I believe - "learn by doing". Of course, me being a truck driver, it's still the same there. You're not fully learned because you've got a license; you just know how to safely(arguably) operate the tool. The actual learning comes when you work with the tool.
Honestly if you watch his older videos I'd say he got to where he is now exactly because of that sentiment. He's not afraid to try something, even if he fucks up at first. So many people (break out my grandpa pants and rocking chair) "these days" are so petrified of being wrong that they don't ever try new things.
Great job, you give us home owners, hope and confidence to fix our own stuff, THANK YOU !
Man this video is NOT an advertisement for the quality of American tradesmen...
Plumber can’t be bothered testing something he installed...
Tiler cuts and lays tiles nicely but inexplicably doesn’t waterproof, or tape the sheets.
Just seems like corner cutting all day long.
Not to mention how long it took the tile guys to finish. 2 days to rock it and another 3 or 4 to set 60 ft of tile. Holy cow I hope he didn’t pay em by the hour.
They cut corners on that entire install! I feel really bad for Andrew, hes gonna have a ton of leaks in the future
everyone has different ideas about what kind of waterproofing is necessary for showers. could be fine for 20+ years, or it could start leaking in 5. really depends on a variety of factors.
iam a tile guy i run into this alot its because they dont want to pay the extra cost therefore i dont guarantee it
@@roberson644 Uh no, it's a fact that grout is porous, durock is porous, thinset is porous, and even tile is porous. Which means moisture will 100% get behind the walls. It's a waste to do all that work just to have to do it over again.
When I clicked on this I thought two things:
1: Sweet! A New Camarata video!
2: How are you going to get a skidsteer in there to pull those tiles down?
haha! Love your videos man. Keep it up!
Lol... Too funny. XD
That’s going to fail andrew, no water proofing behind the tile. Major problem
The existing insulation looks moldy too..
@@HoldFastCC Yep because old install didn't had water proofing like new one.
Andrew is a fucking hack what do you expect. Didn’t even know the code on installing a fan inside a tub
Whoa!!!! That insulation is covered in black mold!!!
@@johnlaprade4878 What's the name of your successful RUclips channel?
Andrew C. Was cool with the Dog in the Tub !! Also was NICE to see you Video things that you do Around the Home to help your Folks out !! Thank you for your Time !!
Andrew i totally agree with you about the vent in the bathroom it is very important. i did without one for years and now i have one, also a good stove hood for kitchen/cooking whole house ventilation is a great idea. i am a ventilation fanatic. also, carefully wipe down the shower tile, tub, and shower door or curtain after every shower or bath. that will keep that gorgeous new tile and vintage tub like new. beautiful work and you have a beautiful bathroom.
10:38 yes change the yellow socket for white, and swap the surround from silver to white also. You've done ninety percent of the work the last ten percent makes it look awesome.
Andrew: "I maybe coulda done this..." 🤔
YT: "Dude. Two words: Chainsaw. Dashboard." 😂
Your mom would disown you. You're great at excavating and demolition. Keep up the good work, and give props to the tile guy for doing a great job. 👍😁
Chainsaw. Dashboard." 😂 LOVE IT!!!
"... it just wouldn't have looked this nice" you got that right, buddy!!! lol
Shower looks good,and Cody is sure enjoying it all lol😆👍🐕😊...
Beautiful bathroom reno ,it looks like Cody hates baths to lol Levi is having flash backs haha
15:40 The plumber ought to have tested it as a part of commissioning the job and before leaving, surely?
Nah, they leave and if there is a problem and they have to come back they can earn some more money
It was unprofessional of the plumber to leave a job without testing the valve, and leaving the job unfinished. I would not use or refer that plumber. Q- Did you fix the insulation before the backer board went up?
@@genedameier8746 Again if he provided the valve he would have THEY BOUGHT THE VALVE
exactly
@@genedameier8746 The parts were provided so the Plumber is not responsible for the parts to be working.
Dogs = kids with fur coats, love it.
Surprised to see the tile guy didn’t use a waterproof membrane on that durarock
It's called green board , you don't membrane it . Mold will grow.
Durock doesn't need membrane and it works better than greenboard in wet areas. It does however, need some mortar on the joints.
@@davidnichols1363 Green board or Green rock is for damp locations not WET areas. Green Rock was never intended to be used as a tile backer in a shower stall.
Shower will fail because there’s no waterproof membrane
David Nichols 12:51 it says durock and btw green board is just water resistant not waterproof. Dumbass
every time i watch one of your videos i always wish i was half as-skilled as you when it came to getting shit done, well done sir, well done
This is one of the few channels where i watch every second of the clips, without skipping. Also, a lot to learn for me.
And imagine, over here in Europe (for me Germany) 240V Country, you dont only have the Bath secured with that GFCI.
No, the complete house is secured with a (so called) RCD - Residial Current Detector, here called "FI-Schutzschalter" or "Fehlerstrom-Schutzschalter".
In 2020, you normally have 2 RCDs per floor. If you mix your lights with the RCDs, you can trip one and you still have working lights in the other room.
Nearly every house in America would have to be retrofitted. Too expensive.
In America they are centuries behind Europe. You would go into jail in Germany if would make an electric installation like this.
Does your mum and dad realise there son is the ultimate DIY man and the most interesting guy to watch on utube.
Its nice to see you helping your dad,we get old and sometimes we need a little help but don't want to as anyone for help ? Your dog sure liked the shower, but most of all, he likes being with you.. Thank's,See Ya Texas..
4:25 Am in Montana but I’ll still watch 😂 👍
I was first!!
We will literally watch him do anything and still be fascinated haha
perfect upload time to watch it by my lunch at 12:28pm here :P
5:30 in north Dakota
3:50 here in Washington
For anyone watching and thinking about doing this themselves an oscillating tool will go right trough the grout lines and backer board will relative ease. You can cut out a big chunk and then use two pry bars or something like them to giggle the piece loose. Use a utility knife to cut through the caulk on the tub and up the corners then along the top were tile meets paint to make nice clean edges.
I loved the way Cody tried to bite the water. Oh yeah, Andrew don't be worried about what the trolls say concerning the water pressure. Not everybody can afford to RE--PLUMB the whole house to fix a bad shower surround. This is the Andrew Camarata Channel, not This Old House.
It all started with "moving an antique truck" and here am I watching loads of Andrew's videos - the good side of confinement :-)
Good morning Andrew, What a pleasant surprise! Gonna grab me some coffee and watch this here vid.
The only dog I’ve ever seen that didn’t hate bath time.
I have had several dogs that loved a bath. :)
Nice camera work in confined area. This Old House, Andrew style. Great job!👍
Thanks for the footage of Cody in the bath, that was crack up seeing him trying to bite the water. He is obviously great therapy for you when you get stressed out.
Out of all the videos I e watched of this guy I’ve never seen him complain about anything. He might have wanted things to go differently but never complains about it he just fixes it. A lesson for all of us.
Its almost as if this is an edited video.
Haven't watched it yet but I already know it'll be awesome
I recently hired a remodeled, a little bigger, bathroom with all new tile, sink, toilet, tub, fan, and built in linen closet for $7800 in Texas. Great video 👍. Eaglegards...
Absolutely adorable Cody!!
