Pro tip- Put a timer switch on the fan, so it can run for a while after you leave the bathroom.
Better yet. Use an ERV that runs continuously.
or use a smart switch that times out on it's own.
Or a humidity sensor switch.
I like humidity sensor switches because kids and teens NEVER turn the fans on. Renters are notorious for this as well, but are quick to complain about black mold in the bathroom. (I'm not a LL, but worked with property management for a number of years, and saw/heard this frequently). @@ezzireifer6479
What if your 💩 don’t stink? What then?
When I did my own bathroom, it never even entered my head that I could make the tiles full tiles by preplanning the wall lengths. So cool.
I did a full tile layout for my kitchen backsplash for the tile guy in Sketchup. Lets just say, he was impressed and blown away at the same time.
@@julesmo323Any good tutorials out there?
I love that Zack gets in on the intro (0:20) and outro (8:57)! Also, awesome tips, two of which I've noted down (#2, #4) for our house that I'm working on.
Piping ventilation air around the cistern is genius. Contractors should also think about doing this where there will be any form of cavity, say behind a built-in wardrobe that has a solid back that isn't the wall behind.
Matt, I have been following your channel for years and I love it! What always blows me away is the huge breadth of - building/renovation/contractor/regional/etc. - topical matter that you cover. I believe yours is the best RUclips channel of its kind that is out there today.
So many great ideas in one small space! Well done!
I was waiting for a video like this ! Thanks Matt!
More videos of details within this house please!! I'm sure Zack has some other great ideas to share in other parts of the home.
Kudos to Zach for such innovative solutions! ...especially that vent design!
Great video for Deck House owners! And what a beautiful bathroom! I've been trying to wrap my head around venting our bathrooms for years! Thank you!
Love these ideas!!!
Isn’t mold gonna grow behind the plywood? Fro. The steam from shower ?
Water won't get back there, theoretically. The surface of the plywood won't let water penetrate.
I look at it like this, how many decades of regular drywall, then mold resistant drywall have been used in bathrooms and even as the backing for showers? The main protection is the paint or waterproofing coating. You're swapping a permeable paper product for a much less permeable wood that still has a sealing/ protecting coating. The amount of water to soak through would require much more water than the incidental steam. I'd take this over the traditional setup most bathrooms have all day,
just my thought process...
Great ideas, real genius
Zack, Matt; this plumber approves all of the above! One of the tile guys I know ways the pre work is something they have recommended for years but seldom see on the jobsite, even in larger commercial settings where there would by many baths- like hotels, hospitals, public venues and office buildings. The "sliding drawer" was awesome; I'm likely to steal that one! You buy TP at least a dozen or so rolls at a time and then struggle to hide them all without compromising your other cabinet space! Btw, as a "design feature" the combined bath/shower was a great idea on its own. Not choking on you Zack, but could you tell us a bit about how each of these ideas came to be? Last comment; if the chosen wall hung toilet system is moving at all, your chair support will eventually fail, likely when your overweight relative is using it. If you have to go that way, do not use a porcelain toilet or you will hear about the shards of it that sliced someone's "who hah" up. Always great stuff from you Matt! You too, Zack!
If your relative or friend is well overweight don't send them there... otherwise is fine, those toilets hold in territory 400-800 lbs.
That really was slick and well-thought out!
luv the details, especially since my bathroom is getting upgrades.
Great video guys.
Nice job! I love getting to do contemporary design finish carpentry. Only got to do really clever finish work like that medicine cabinet a couple times in my career. Hopefully get to do more of it, it’s really fun.
I'm definitely going to be using that vent in my bathroom.
I want to see more on how they made that vent work... That could be a perfect fit for a job i have coming up. 🤔
Just a switched inline axial fan ducted to the outside.
A plywood box with 2 slits and a 4 inch exhaust connected to inline fan? Good luck making it fit while keeping it quiet. I was expecting a whistle when they hit the switch ;)
I'd also like to see more on how they made the cent work. I want to know how they dealt with the problem of condensation if moist air is being drawn inside the wall.
@@tlangdon12 I assume it's in a pipe in a heated interior wall not using the 2x as a duct. I assume that there's no more liquid water than any other style?
@tlangdon12 its ducted out of the house.
Nice work. You've got a good one there.
very cool thank you
Well done boys
that is a master craftsman - the thought to the life of the home and project
Ok. That was an amazing four tips.
more Zack!
I like the way this guy thinks!
Great work, Zack! Question: was the water closet's exhaust vent at the same level as the shower's vent? If so, would it have been possible to place the WC vent near the floor so it captures the you-know-what smells there vs. wafting up the wall? It's an approach I heard about on the @HomePerformance channel (Corbett & Grace).
That last one was genius.
Why not use a humidity sensing switch for the exhaust vent? Wifes not gonna turn it on anyways no matter how close it is to the shower 😂😂😂
Connect the fan to timer switch that also controls the waterproof lighting over the shower/tub. They have some very good versions now in the "Decora" style. No more rotary dials producing buzzing sounds as they unwind.
Humidity sensing is close, but the wrong choice. It won't turn on for bathroom odors, but also it will sometimes run when humidity is just very high, which will not dehumidify. Other options include motion sensing and relay logic to tie it into several of the lights separately
@@Ariccio123 Humidity sensing wall switches also have manual switches as well. If your fans run when the shower is off under any circumstance, you didnt adjust it right. I live in Florida where we regularly see 90% humidity and my fan doesn’t turn on unless the shower is on.
@@dieselgoinham good to hear!!
I have used a motion sensor switch in the ceiling for my shower because I have notoriously forgotten to turn on the fan and I also do the same when it came to turning it off.
Can you guys do a video on security doors? Thank you.
Job security 😂got me
That's rad
Great
Zack is smacking it...
There's no need to lose any space at the back of the toilet if you have the cistern hung inside the partition wall (where the vents are in this house). This is where I have my cistern. It makes it easier to have an access panel to the cistern if that should be needed. Mine is accessed via the other side of the wall - I've not got a shower there, just the steps down into the cellar.
I'm also not a fan of wall hung toilets, just because of the weight of the people that will sit on them. I have a "Back to the Wall" toilet which sits on the floor, but also sits hard against the rear wall, and is silconed to the wall. It is very easy to keep clean, and there's no risk of the wall structure failing over time due to the very high loads placed on it by heavy people sitting on a heavy toilet that is cantilevered off the wall.
Hope the exhaust fan circuit is also gfci, not only outlets. That fan switch seems like a bad idea, reaching out of a running shower soakin wet and touching a 120v switch. 😮
its just a switch, not an outlet. You would need to run a water hose at it while touching the switch to get a shock.
@Pepe-dq2ib 120v is 120v no matter how you look at it, hot legs are the ones switched.
@@mitchdenner9743 yeah, but its behind 3 layers of plastic, i've never heard of anyone dying from a toggle switch. I just dont believe its a big deal placing a switch right outside of the shower on a gfci branch. It isnt anymore dangerous that a garbage disposal switch 3ft away from a water source per code.
Really good to see other people building and designing with future maintenance in mind. The common response is “f**k the next guy”. That’s weak and inferior and careless but stems from the tract builders that dominate the market and where most guys in the trade get frustrated and form terrible work ethics and loose craftsmanship. It all starts with planning and a builder that isn’t a “project manager” fresh out of college that’s never built anything or had any field time. Doing things strategically and systematically doesn’t take extra money or time if you have actual skilled workers and an actual drawing to follow. I disdain tract builders because of how sloppy they are and the cheap labor they employ. Good to see this type of thought all the way to the layout of the tile during the framing stage.
Am I crazy or would you want anything plywood based no where near that much moisture?
I looked it up...apparently MDO has a waterproof resin coating. So it should be okay I guess.
Before I saw your comment, I already suggested cypress for both areas that have plywood.
they also make boats out of plywood.... just buy the right kind
@@shawnmarshall1637 or just make it easy on yourself and don’t put a wood product in contact with water. I doubt there is any plywood product that will stand the test of time in a bathroom
It looks awesome, a couple of small details that’re popular here in the netherlands and popping up especially in newly built homes are some concealed hinges and frameless deep recessed lights. Other than that this bathroom looks as modern as any other european bathroom 😊
Euros try not to be insufferable challenge, difficulty level: impossible
@@bicker31 bro’s not liking my tips lol
@@miles5600 bro's either oblivious or doesn't read his own comments
@@bicker31 what’s wrong with my comment?
@@miles5600 Bro's either beyond help or a troll
Are these kind of details involved in the plans of a home or is this one on the Builder?
So does it roll under or over?
Awesome!! Great Idea :) (S)
Just a thought - with the wood look already, both areas with the plywood could be done with cypress (or cedar) and still fit the aesthetic. Both the the triangle section above the shower, and the wall behind the toilet. And it's a wood that handles moisture. Just sayin'...
Maybe they did not what anymore of a wood look it is called personal preference . Just saying
I have a wall mounted vent due to a central exhaust system. Since we did a complete ensuite bathroom remodel this summer, it stayed as it. But buying a Stainless Steel vent cover goes with look of the bathroom anyway. Unless I wanted to spend a ton to hide it but still use it, it wasnt worth the cost for me. Looks like we decided on a lot of right things watching this video. Although no walls were removed and the sq.footage stayed the same, its way more useful. Can you say triangle jetted tub, god are they useless. As for the drywall by a toilet, what are you doing there, having a pee party? Ive owned homes for 25 years with drywall by every toilet, and have never had an issue ever.
Great video as usual. Zack planned and built the whole dam bathroom it seems? Overqualified to be called a master carpenter?
Must have subbed the tile laying. I would not have been proud of that tile
The cabinet above the toilet is cool. Great place for everything you want to hide in the bathroom.
Maybe not in this case but I imagine some cool things you could do with this setup as far a hiding things.
love zack. Wish he didn't block me on insta. Oh well good to finally see him again. If you see this Zach
As an uncle of over 25 kids, I can confirm that keeping magnetic latches out of their reach is a good idea. H**l, keeping lots of things out of their reach is a good idea. I just happen to have quite a bit of first hand experience of problems caused when failing to keep things out of their reach.
If I could custom build a house, I would like to put the master-bath inside of a glass-enclosed conservatory, like the sun-room that actress Mary Tyler Moore had. I would like it designed in such a way that all of the rinse water is put on the garden, and all the soapy-water is filtered to put on the lawn. I would like to have ways to conserve water, and have instant hot-water. I would like a extra-large whirllpool
bath for two intimate adults. I would like his and her toilet areas. I would like the closet attached to the master-bedroom. I would like
the bathroom designed in such a way that water can never ever overflow into the house.
What if you have to service the toilet?
It is not recommended to put plumbing pipes on outside walls. Yes, you can if you insulate well. Having endured multi-day power outages in the winter, I can say the insulation would not help prevent freezing and subsequent leakages. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
Lol! Homes like this have back up energy sources that will last day and weeks. Solar or in this instance, probably a generator that could run indefinitely
Check code on that switch position.
Where can you buy
NDO Plywood?
It’s MDO (medium density overlay)
It’s most often times used as sign board
It is designed to be exposed full time exterior.
It’s also available in 3/4 as HDO (high-density overlay) most commonly used as concrete wall forming.
Lumber yards will sometimes stock MDO or check with a sign shop. Concrete supply houses will have stacks of the 3/4.
The 1/2” comes overlaid on both sides or just one side, depending on the intended use.
It is most commonly constructed of high-grade Douglas fir plys, without many voids.
It paints up beautiful
No one’s going to mention the more than 1 ft depth wall into which that elegant vanity slides? Is that realistic for the rest of us? My bathroom is a little smaller than that.
essentially all they've done is move the wall from behind the toilet tank to in front of it
This is a custom build. Nobody said it's a fit for everyone .
Bro…that tile. Looks like a DIY’ers first attempt.
I was waiting for a comment that it was handmade tile or something to explain the uneven lines. I'm not saying I would have done better, (one look at my kitchen backsplash will prove that) but no one pays me to instal tile either.
@@travelfeet Right? I did our tile in our home and I’ve got to say…I think mine looks better than that. There is definitely a nuance to being able to do it well AND quickly (I was definitely not quick), but at the same time, if you use your spacers and take your time, it isn’t rocket science.
@@travelfeet The jokes on you it is handmade tile so if you think even a pro is going to have perfect lines you are sadly mistaken.
magnets so underrated
LOL, love the BSN and the Build Show just like it a lot more now that you have New Jersey represented!
😂🤣😂
I guess I'm not crazy thinking about problems like this in my home remodel. when I talk to my construction friends they all seem to think so.
I didn't think you were talking about a bathroom fan I thought you were talking about a plumbing vent
The camera does that. I watch a lot of train watching shows and you'll see that on the rails. Watch how it moves as the camera moves.
I didn't hear anything about that plywood being waterproof glue and such but wouldn't it have to be? I'm not familiar with that product, never seen it in any stores in E Texas
code says you only have to waterproofing 6' up and beyond code, the paint is generally enough to keep water out at that height. painted drywall is generally problem free aside from normal cleaning
@@AsHellBored well, I've still run into mold problems above 6' in showers here in humid Texas but that's really usually a bathroom venting problem by the original builder. And sometimes it can be a bear to correct. I always use the green water resistant sheet rock AND try to vent right (and pay attention on where The supply air for the bathroom is coming from)
MDO is a great product, heavily used in the sign industry. It uses waterproof glue and has a face layer thats paints similar to MDF. You can leave it outside for years untreated without issue.
I love this channel, but that tile work looks terrible. I'm half blind and I could still see that nothing lines up.....
First thing I saw
agreed. Guy should be ashamed to even show it
Forrest for the trees sir
Meh i wouldn't care. I think the other details like button placement etc far outweigh it
You need to think more about the practicality of the space like this guy does. Who cares if the tiles are slightly misaligned? It's the little things like having air flow, routing, steam out the back, or having a button to turn the fans on in a convenient place. The practicalities matter
You like the fan switch close to the shower so if you forget you can turn it on while soaking wet?! This passes code where you are?
The tile looks a little crooked as does the installation of the shower faucet
I know what you didn't talk about, those massive windows.....c'mon Matt.
Why not opt for an ERV
Where is the shower drain? Just curious.
In the floor. 🙂
I’m not totally satisfied with the tile job, with the long term performance of that thin vent, the cheaper maple veneer drawer box as the hidden cabinet, the gaps around said cabinet when it’s installed in the wall. This sort of feels like faux lux.
Why is the tile so uneven? obvious at 2:39, but even noticeable at 2:54.
Handmade
@@richardlug6139 conjecture.
@@kayomichael Yes would have been if both the homeowner and the contractor in the video did not confirm that here in the comments section.
@@richardlug6139 Then the tile layout should have been such to work with the uneven proportions of the tiles. When the rest of the grout lines are straight and geometric, it just looks wrong. Work with the feature!
@@kayomichael It is not ment to look perfectly straight and geometric. If you look closely there are hardly any perfect straight lines and even some lines that are easily out of line. It is going for an old look when all tiles were hand made and not from a factory. I refer comments from two tile layers with 30 years of experience that commented in the comments that said the tile layer did a great job, but if you think you could do better, good for you.
🤩🤺
You need to consider that the drivers can heat up, you have no fire barrier in front of the cold cell foam. A major fire hazard
The "first thing i noticed" was thats its uneven.
having a switch that close to the show would be against code in canada
it would just need to be gfci protected
that tile job is not great. who doesnt use tile trim? Its even a Schluter install.
Wow. Can't beleive Matt said beautiful tile layout. One of the worst tile jobs I ever saw. Also other places not better at all - missing screws on batch vanity and over cuts
Yeah, WTF is with that sloppy alignment?
Yeah everything looked amazing and well-built and great attention to detail...until I got to the tile and grout work. What the hell happened there??
Yeah when they did the initial zoom on the routed vent above the shower head, tile looks bad man
These are handmade tiles…each one is different by up to 3/8” so that kind of hurts my feelings when you say we did a lousy job. Prob hurts the feelings of the lady in California who made the tile.
@Dettmore101 Handmade definitely answers why the tile looks that way, and I can appreciate the story and beauty of something handmade. Its definitely a tough personal preference choice in this example, though, because without knowing the story behind the tile, with how inconsistent the gaps are, handmade tile with varying gaps end up kind of looking indistinguishable from a bad tile job even if it is well done work otherwise. Some of us are just way too mildly OCD to handle the varying gaps, and with such engineered tile these days we're spoiled on gaps being essentially pre cut to perfect widths within 1/32".
I guess the carpenter did the tile. Or maybe the plumber
5:23 - WTF is going on with that hinge lol - bunch of issues there.
Am I day drinking or was that tile extremly wavey?
Should of explained why. The tiles are different sizes and look doubtful 😢
Handmade
That's a lot of grout on shower walls..
That shower tile doesn’t line up at all
lol ok. Another comment now. It’s common sense actually to pre-measure something if you want perfect fit. So it’s blows my mind that people sound so surprised when he just he pre measured something and then built to suite. Also like I seen the other comments. Tile work sucks. lol lol he brags about full tiles everywhere but has half tiles on the very first row off the floor!?!?!
Ngl that tile install doesnt look nice. Very hard to install I see lippage and out of level
Looks expensive!
If you can notice it in a RUclips video, you know it’s terrible.
Tile Job is horrible. Should have had tile bro or etile do it.
Go to Europe, they have been doing it for 100 years
Building fancy showers? Then why don't they ever use them? And yeah, I lived in Europe for awhile...
@@disqusrubbish5467 Mud panned shower and wall dry set one day plus recessed drain. Walk in with glass zero edge enclosure and a wall hung WC and wall inset tank. The vent was what old school contractors would call that, making it work. This is more of a US code and enforcement issue than a contractor problem. We have the skill we are bound by building codes disconnected from the product they produce. Europe has building many 200-400 years old that have little opinion of how we see safe with best practices.
His build was cool, but this is what i dislike about all of this experimental building from these new young builders because if you hire these guys they will be building your home based off their own ideas and personal build and not you the client
Not true . Trust me you can be as involved as you want to be as a homeowner. Your footing the bill.
Nope not perfect, a perfect bathroom can be found in Finland. A bathroom should be a 100% wet room, with waterproof everything and a floor drain. A perfect bathroom has a Bede hand sprayer on a long hose so you can pressure wash the walls, fixtures, and toilet all the way down across the floor to the drain!
Sure we got one of those it is in our milk barn. LOL!
Why are all the tiles different sizes? Looks dumb.
Perga
Damn, NGL he’s cute!!
How sloppy is that cabinet work?
Why are there missing screws at 5:25? The hinge hardware looks cheap too and the routing work is poorly done. The cuts for the cabinet recess are too long - Easy fix with wood filler but skipped that? I get the box has to be removable for service so gaps are inevitable, but no trim or attempt to hide it? The box itself is literally just randomly screwed together? The rail and stop block is a complete afterthought. It looks roughed in and not finished. Insulation over spray on the handles indicates poor prep. I get all these features are mainly hidden behind the art, but it's something the homeowner will see and use regularly. Is this really "Master Carpenter" level work or are my standards too high?
Had to pause and comment and him stating he puts switches close to showers. But yet he has the door hinged right next to switch. Should’ve been reversed so you can just slip your hand out the door and turn switch on. Now you’ll have to fully open the door and walk around the door to turn the switch on. So far not impressed. Let’s finish the video.
is this video a joke? lol that vent doesn't meet the traditional cfm requirements because of the behavior of air in narrow spaces. it collides with itself more frequently and thus doesnt allow for proper venting. also wall mounted toilets suck. they existed first and then we came up with tanked toilets for easier service. god bless the plumber that comes in to replace the toilet in 7 years and finds out the 5 bolt flange version has been discontinued but they offer an adapter to the 4 bolt for $300 straight from China in 3 weeks. dont worry though, he will call in his drywall friend to add 1.5" inches of gypsum lump to furr out the adapter flange because the cast iron mounting is consuming the whole wall cavity already. thats also a pretty neat medicine cabinet above the toilet, i wonder how much extra pipe length he added to 90 around in to fool you into thinking it wasnt wall... mounted? I haven't watched past 5:19 and i wanted to get this out there. I dont imagine i'll have the energy to come back and add more. we'll see, maybe he'll do/say some more nonsense
also, was this built within an Extra Territorial Jurisdiction?
wtf? at 6:15 you're making it sound like $5 a box home depot cabinet screws as a THREADED spacer are some unique innovation unbeknownst to mankind
wait, so he's the lead carpenter but he wouldn't pay a carpenter to build a "cabinet" box because of the "high performance" finish? -- my girlfriend wrote that comment
Omg the tile work is SO bad. How could they show such close up shots and totally ignore the poor workmanship?
For Europeans these tiles looks pretty oldfashion, from the sixties. For me they are ugly!
The switch for the ventilation should be mechanically extended into the wet shower section.
In general the US building style is completely outdated. Fake stone, framing, paper roofing, Tofu build quality. Even the Romans build better.
