Your videos are so valuable and thoughtful, thank you for taking so much time to provide this to the world. Seriously, this is effort you don't need to spend on the rest of us. I LOVED the recap showing what was right and what was wrong!!!! That's incredible, please keep doing that!! Love you too man.
Feel bad for Patrick, it at same time; glad stopped project. If woulda finished and used, woulda spent way more money in few yrs when things started to rot out & tiles/grout started cracking.....would have been more devastated imo, at that point. Hopefully the tile guy who did pan will work something out and not be a, told you so, person . Happy 2021 Isaac and crew✌🏼
That’s scary... I have issue with grout sealer am using miracle and tile grout sealer but doesn’t seem to keep water out it soaks it’s my first shower and I see allot of your videos you help allot man it would been nice if his father in law found your video tile coach👍
Worst case to save some money pop and number all those tiles, pic for reference and scrape that old mastic with a putty knife from the walls and the tiles. Three coat that whole shebang with some red guard, and reinstall the tile with some actual thin set.
Starr tile is a commie sympathizer , his son is a black blocker (Antifa) and got his ass handed to him then starr tile begged for money on his RUclips account
It looks not that bad, and could last for a couple of years before it's totally deteriorated if he can finish it in a better way and the waterproof is acceptable. In stead of ripping everything off, I am suggesting you can help him to finish the rest, because you can look from his face that it's not a small cost for everything to be redone.
Not my cup of tea either. At first I thought the father in law had used a black pen to draw out the positions of all the tiles. That tile design looks a complete and utter mess.
When I was a kid, my dad rewired most of the electrical in our 100 y/o house (in a small town) from 'knob&post' .... then had the inspector come out. Inspector said, ".... you must not be an electrician from around here ... you did everything by the books, no cut corners ... have you thought of doing this for a living?" LOL! Dad had done some electrical work in the military ... so there's that ..... DIY'ers sometimes get their experience from other places besides "the industry."
This is true! The other thing is DIY we are doing it for ourselves and our own home, and time is not money for us like it is for a commercial contractor and we don't have to cut corners when it comes to time and careful work, and are too scared to cut corners because we are not sure what is critical and what is just important!
I was yelling "STOP!!!" at my screen. lol. I mean, he's right, it needs to come out, but if you ask a guy to come and take a look, you probably don't want to walk in to find everything torn up.
He pulled the tiles mostly with his fingers or with pretty minimal effort. The tiles likely would have fallen off in a couple of months of use, no joke. My bathroom floor was tiled with luan and mastic, and I popped all the tiles off in 20 minutes with a 5 in 1 tool.
Feel so bad for the home owner. We've all been in this position brother with one project or another. Live and learn and move forward smarter. Chin up my man, it'll get better.
Man that guy was devastated you can see he's body posture and facial expression at the end I feel bad for him. Yes you are right a lot of home owners/anyone think because there's a lot of videos out there a trowel and mastic will get the job done. The hardest part of doing tile is the prep work, back when I started it I wasn't aloud to set tile till I learned how to prep and went through the proper stages. It's been over 10 years now and still you never stop learning.
this guy got off easy, imagine if he found out his father in-law did a bad job 2 years later because everyone is getting sick from black mold and the integrity of his house has been compromised.
Patrick aka Anthony made a great decision to call you in. He was in a little over his head. Think of the mold he or his children would've been breathing. At least they didn't spend money on shower glass yet. This could've been so so much worse.
I thought this was your father in law from the title. I was like "Wow, your son-in-law is a tiling contractor and you didn't ask for any help? Talk about pride!". Was wrong instantly. Oops.
Well the bright side is, that with care most of that tile can be salvaged and reapplied once the structure is done properly. Better to have to redo the basic waterproofing than to have to replace a rotten structure had they not stopped.
Please tape a part 2 or 3 to this and follow up. Id like to see the process of doing it right. There are plenty of high end showers done on your channel and sal's.
He's not doing crap with this shower, the guy only wanted his advice, he can't afford him. It would be charity work if he did. 100$ an hour labor plus material
You're a real pro. It was quite obvious within ten seconds of walking in there you knew it was no good, but you heard him out and listened and told him you would do a full evaluation. Nice to see
Yeah, its quite disheartening. I've only done tile twice and I am about to take my hand at installing tile in the basement bathroom, but I wouldn't even have thought of tackling it without first having watched no less than 100 hours of RUclips videos on tiling. I've watch every schluter ditra and schluter kerdi video I can find. I feel like I could at least pass the test on using their products to waterproof and set a pan liner at this point.
You've been critiquing jobs done by others with an open and neutral composure. That's a very amiable show of character. I dunno how you can restrain emotions of frustration / disbelief while doing these inspections. Well Done, Sir.
Maybe that guy Patrick and his father inlaw can take the tile off and scrape and clean those tiles, what a Disaster though. People should research and read all instructions and make sure they understand everything. Even if you hire someone. Always get 3 quotes in writing, explanation of materials etc
Been doing tile for 25 years and I'll only use wood chisels. Nothing takes out stubborn thinset when you're doing repairs like a sharp wood chisel. Of course it only works for about 10 minutes before you dull the shit out of it, but for those 10 minutes, it chews through the stuff.
I've done so many jobs that started exactly like that. Where the home owner or family members tried doing it. When they would call me, I would have to do pretty much the same thing your doing . Alot of times people do not understand how much money it costs to get tile work done. They think "if they just buy the tile" Great video man. I do not think you have put out a video i haven't liked.
Oh, my heart hurts for this guy. Even for the father in law. He tried to help, but really shouldn’t have. I’m sure he feels terrible for putting his family in that position. Hope they can afford to have that done right. If you’re gonna DIY, make sure you know WTF you’re doing and using the right materials & products for the job! Ugh This sucks, big time 😢💔
Family friend had a "buddy" do his shower. Put hardiboard on the floor of the shower, and put the tile directly on. Water was just pouring in the basement.

So funny because for me the comment above yours, is, " this is why you hire professionals otherwise it costs you a fortune". So far in my experience it costs a fortune to get a pro, and they do jack job anyway.
@@liamjenkins82 yep we hired them for our whole house to be redone after the 2016 flood in louisiana. 10/10 wouldn't recommend. Literally anyone can have a contractors license in louisiana as long as you have a minimum of $5000 in your bank account and know basic construction stuff to pass the test that only cost a few hundred dollars if that😡
@@meganm3270 oh that sucks. I actually live in Australia, and after either being let down or work being overpriced and average at best, I started doing it all myself!
Wow the intro of this video shocked me! I watched many of your vids but nothing like this one, you shouldn’t been talking like that about customer neighborhood. Look I’m a flooring contractor in Illinois and I go where the money takes me without complaining.
Something as easy as reading the directions would have saved time and money. Sticking tile to lumber....that's basic tiling knowledge but it has to be repeated. Would like to see a video of how you trim sometime too.
Mastic? Just watched a video by the only other tile installer I trust (Sal), he said and I quote "if it comes in a bucket, stop and walk away". Don"t ever watch any other installers besides you and Sal because...well because I am trying to learn the correct way to tile.
About 15 years ago we went to a homeowners house similar to the situation but the bathroom was about six times the size. They use that same Home Depot mastic bullshit. I took every single tile off the bathroom with a five and one. I saved every single tile because the homeowner wanted to do something different afterward. Not one tile even cracked or chipped during removal, they peeled right off.
Not sure if everyone gets the same ads watching these video's. Mine was at beginning with stay at home mom looking for ideas to make extra money. Ya...I have a great idea how you could make extra money!
You can save the tiles. Muratic acid. 3 tubs. Soak once rinse with hose go to 2nd soak and so on. Soak over night to 20 hours. I just did 400 square feet of tile.
You should redo the base for him and coach him through the rest. Would make a good video if anything. Does he have a trade he can barter for a couple days labor?
If money is the real issue, you can reuse the tiles since they come off so easy. Scrape of the mastic and if needed, soak them up and wash off the rest of mastic with a sponge. Add hardie where needed and then redguard for waterproof. Buy a finer blade for cleaner cuts and disc-sander to buff off the rough spots. If you dont use shluter trim, it will cost under $250 with proper thinset.
If you’re going to do something yourself do the research. I don’t work on my car without doing a good couple of hours researching the project I’m starting. Same with any remodel. You can do it if you have the proper information. Don’t rush the information gathering stage. that’s the most important step.
Same here, I've DIYed my bathroom, tile, waterproofing, etc. And my best piece of advice, watch multiple tile videos, from multiple channels, not just one, and also, sort the comments for the newest ones to see what people are saying.

Heartbreaking for the guy. Really nice of him to let this be filmed, I really hope everything works out for him.
He needs a drink. As would I.
no damage was done to the structure at least as the problems were spotted early.
That transition into the true work gear ad was flawless.
The encouraging thing is the father in law only tiles one shower every 20 years. Lol. Lord bless father in law and Patrick and family. John3:16.
Wow, have never seen a worse install. That would have been a hot mess after a few weeks of use.
you're like a DIY detective. Love seeing the mistakes uncovered
I'm starting to think all shower and tub installations should be recorded from beginning to end and saved for 20 years for future reference.
Feel bad for Patrick, it at same time; glad stopped project. If woulda finished and used, woulda spent way more money in few yrs when things started to rot out & tiles/grout started cracking.....would have been more devastated imo, at that point.

That’s scary... I have issue with grout sealer am using miracle and tile grout sealer but doesn’t seem to keep water out it soaks it’s my first shower and I see allot of your videos you help allot man it would been nice if his father in law found your video tile coach👍
Grout sealer doesn't stop grout from absorbing water
So what is behind the liner, just the studs? And how does liner get held in place without putting nails or what holds it thanks
Worst case to save some money pop and number all those tiles, pic for reference and scrape that old mastic with a putty knife from the walls and the tiles. Three coat that whole shebang with some red guard, and reinstall the tile with some actual thin set.
Maybe splurge on some kerdi trim for the edges
wow that hat tho, GOBOARD. great stuff IMO
This is why you hire tile contractors and not random people or GCs do to tile work. Unreal.
What would happen if someone used concrete instead of a mortar bed?
StarrTile is a hack, he does it all wrong. This guy knows the right way.
Starr tile is a commie sympathizer , his son is a black blocker (Antifa) and got his ass handed to him then starr tile begged for money on his RUclips account
It looks not that bad, and could last for a couple of years before it's totally deteriorated if he can finish it in a better way and the waterproof is acceptable. In stead of ripping everything off, I am suggesting you can help him to finish the rest, because you can look from his face that it's not a small cost for everything to be redone.
Except its not water proofed so it has to come out
If that guy can do drywall he can demo it and put up hardiboard and learn how to mix thinset.
That title looks terrible imo regardless of the installation
"Oh I'm showering in a old barn, how cool"
That is the ugliest tile I have ever seen in my life!!!
Not my cup of tea either. At first I thought the father in law had used a black pen to draw out the positions of all the tiles. That tile design looks a complete and utter mess.
Not a bad neighborhood, just different. AKA. Complete craphole, ha ha ha
Totally destroyed the base and liner, went a bit to far I think
Grout with epoxy and good like lol
Probs would have worked ok if they sealed it well at the end lol
As we tried to do our tile in the bathroom it was a mess was wondering if you could help my name is Cheree Cooper

He is doing him a favor, those tiles needed to be removed anyway
I’m aware those tiles needed to come out and the shower would have failed in a matter of months. I was making a joke. Welcome to the internet.
Don't ever involve yourself in situations where you are dealing with money or work with family or friends. Rarely works out
No Doubt!!!
And if you do....treat them like a customer
Tile coach: can I pull a few tiles?
Owner: sure!
Owner comes back and sees the demo, gets a heart attack.
Mastic in a shower,, come on man! Absolutely you don't have the knowledge to show someone how it was done wrong!!
You guys know there's no "father in-law," right?
Hes had a few if them of them .He's a keen DIYer but rarely fishes a job.5 Father I laws he's had
Guy did his own work poorly and blamed his invincible father in law.
"this was probably ok 20 years ago" ... "yeah....yeah".....no
Drywall was all they used back then, some people still do it which is bound to fail, drywall and water equals black mold
@@jacobgholson1813 Yep. In-laws shower they just glued it to the drywall. The whole subdivision. 1960's.
@@jacobgholson1813 Well if the house is older and the walls are made of real plaster, not drywall, it is probably fine.
You can just put kerdi on top and it's fine
Feel so bad for the home owner. We've all been in this position brother with one project or another. Live and learn and move forward smarter. Chin up my man, it'll get better.
"let me see if the shower liner is proper" and puts his chisel through it LOL
"it was pretty good"
Dude wrecks it and doesn’t even fix it. Wow.

Negative
Dino its all crap/Wrong, it all should come out.
He wasn't angry man was seconds from tears, he was fuckin upset he had all his money in tile ruined by his father in law with shoddy work
God-awful tile! What were they thinking? With that mastic barely holding on the tiles, I'd rip it all out, budget or no budget.
"This is going to be a little different type video.."
Because for once it's not one of his fuckups.
I've noticed a trend....🤣
That tile design is hideous looking.
Yup, I thought it was mortar or grout not cleaned probably. Really ugly.
"yea everything was going good and then my father in law started smearing his poop all over the tiles and I thought I should get a professional"
I agree that barn wood look is funky
Man some red guard and backer board would have saved this guy a lot of time and money.
The whole shower needs redone. Waterproofing the shower most important thing in a walkinn shower
Exactly ! This is what those idiot installers didnt understand. And a lot of these commenters also dont understand either.
Cement board should have been used then Kerdi line it for starters and no wood or Drywall.
how come people don’t know the importance of waterproofing before doing the tile for shower
Patrick aka Anthony made a great decision to call you in. He was in a little over his head. Think of the mold he or his children would've been breathing. At least they didn't spend money on shower glass yet. This could've been so so much worse.
Why don't these people watch RUclips before they hire a contractor???
