You did an excellent job on this!
@@americanhomeinnovations7155 thank you very much!
I can’t afford Patreon just yet but I will I started ripping my bathroom apart and didn’t have a clue what to do but after seeing this it gave me an idea 💡
@@millieschattime9924 awesome! That’s good to hear.
I wish I could do somwthing like this for my Dad but make it a handi shower with a bench and grab bars. He is 76 years old just had his fifth back operation and survived cancer three times. We have water damage on the subfloor in the kitchen . Its too much money right now and I really do not think I could something like myself. I am amazed at this kind of work.
I was searching for just a concrete shower surround to see how it’d look and came across this. This is next level-this is absolutely amazing. The way you made the rock, stone, and wood look so realistic out of just mortar is mind blowing. You’re an artist!
🙏🙏 thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
There's concrete showers, and then there is this! This is absolutely next level.
Thank you very much!
Bro seriously. You screw up a basic tile shower but then build a flawless epic cave shower from concrete. 🤯
I’m a concrete guy not a tile guy 😂🤷🏼♂️
Amazing! Very talented for sure!
Thank you!!
Wow! You are an artist! Beautiful work. What a wonderful escape that must feel like to shower in.
Thank you so much!
This is literally the most beautiful shower i have ever seen

Thank you!!
Brilliant. Just brilliant!!! Love this
Thank you!
Wow this is absolutely beautiful
🙏🙏 thank you!!
I’m so glad I found your video, it is absolutely gorgeous! I am considering creating something similar on a smaller scale inside my school bus conversion bathroom, to give it a grotto like feel, though I am being conscious to use the lightest materials possible.
Oh awesome and thank you. They make some pretty light mortars.
@@TheHiddenHomestead that’s what I’m researching now! : )
This shower should go into a magazine
incredible. the fore thought involved, the acquired eye, ...final product is amazing. im about to practice this tomorrow
Awesome! Have fun with it! That’s the most important part. And thank you very much!
Nice Work....
And i was proud of my concrete countertops ⚒
Thank you!
Some of the best I have ever seen !!
Fantastic work !!

Looks fantastic
Thank you!!
Howdy buddy- I have been waiting for you to post this video and I was not disappointed! You are an amazing artist to say the least. Wow! Your talent and skill level is way up there on a different level. This has to be one of the coolest videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you, thank you for sharing your talent with us! God bless and keep you safe
Wow!! Thank you SO much!!! 🙏🙏 By the way from what little bit of time I’ve had to watch stuff on here I’ve seen that I’ve been missing out on your progress! You sir are in my “watch later” and I CANT WAIT to get caught up!!!
The Workshop at Hidden Homestead I can certainly understand that. I have been fairly busy when the rain allows me to do something besides sharpen tools. Blessings to ya
Wow that’s incredible
Thank you!
Absolutely incredible
Thanks!! 👍
Dude. I just watched this video and I'm on the other side of the big blue South Africa. Here we ONLY mostly build with brick, stone, sement and everything that makes a makeover difficult to do. Thanx to you I'm changing that tradition today. I'm so inspired after watching your video... Thank you for sharing your ideas. Between us: it's also great watching a diy where the person actually do instead of talk.
Hey not to be weird but I checked out your jewellery making. Auwsome...
Spread the Love 🤞🌪️
Wow thanks man! I truly appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with it. Let me know how it turns out.
Dude u are so talented
Looks real man the stone and wood u have done
Awesome! Thank you very much!!
Wow that is awesome you are a tru artist.
Thank you very much!!
Amazing love it wished I had one just like it. I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you. God bless.
Thank you so much!
You killed it. You definitely got skills 👏
Well thank you!!
only one word, amazing.
Thank you very much!
Sir you are an inspiration. What you have created out of cement is mind blowing. I am building my shower. I’ve tirelessly been searching for videos on how to stamp my cement floors. I would sure appreciate any advice.
Absolutely! Message me on Facebook or Instagram and we can talk about it. Both links for my pages are in the description of the video.
Dude that’s awesome!
Thank you !!
Dude, you have some mad skills!
🙏🙏 well thank you very much!!
You created a true masterpiece.
🙏🙏 thank you very much!
You da man! The most amazing shower!
Hey thanks!!
Now THIS is a masterpiece! You Sir, are a MASTER of your craft. I'm very handy but couldn't even begin to imagine being able to do that!! Great job! Kudos!
Wow thank you very much!!
@@TheHiddenHomestead im serious. I got offered a job painting the new theme park before it opened here in florida @ $35 per hour. It was all hand sculpted concrete and I can't imagine how much the masons were getting paid on it. If you ever want to offer a class then sign me up. I'd be thrilled to learn such a craft.
@@unsanctionedchaos2994 oh wow that’s awesome! Did you take the job??
Well I never considered teaching any classes. Never considered myself good enough to instruct.
@@TheHiddenHomestead unfortunately i didn't take the job. I was just starting out working for myself at that time and was too stubborn to see the potential that such an opportunity would have brought. Young and arrogant essentially...
@@unsanctionedchaos2994 dang! Yeah that would have been an awesome opportunity. I’ve been to Disney a few times for the sole reason just to look at all the concrete. The new avatar world is pretty awesome. the whole animal kingdom it self is a non stop concrete ogle fest though
just wanna saw you do a great job of camera angles and editing! Oh and your a freaking Artists at your craft!
Oh wow. Thank you!!
Artistic perfection!
Thank you!
Awesome really like it
Thank you sir!!!
Wow. Well done 👏
Thank you!
i used to see this restroom with cave design many years back, lol i always will pay a visit to the restroom just to check it out, place is unreal , had to cross a bridge of a koi pond just to reach the front door
Oh wow. That’s awesome! 👌😁
You're definitely the man to know if the SHTF 😊 You can do almost anything. Cool shower, it looks amazing👍🏼
Haha well I don’t know about that but I do consider myself a jack of SOME trades. That being said I do believe that “A jack of all trades but master of none is still always better then a master of just one.”
Glad you liked the video!! 👍
@@TheHiddenHomestead Well I wish I had your skills thats for sure. So not only do you make Tomahawks on the side, but you can make a shower look like a cave ❗️Yes I agree, better to be a "jack of all trades" and I think you're certainly that. Take care my friend.👍🏼
@@stephenclarke3990 thank you and you as well!
Absolutely awesome
Thank you!
That’s incredible
Thank you!
Work of art
🙏🙏 thank you!
TRULY INSPIRING! Gotta say, too, that the extra touches in video production was great. (Like the text falling out of the bucket… very cool)
A few years ago, we built an indoor shower that was made to look like an outdoor shower… we used more landscape construction rather than typical indoor methods. (Wish I could show you a picture… it’s pretty cool). Faux stone, river rocks… very “castle-esque”. Our budget was next to nothing, We went to Home Depot and discovered that a lame, plastic shower pan was $180… and I was like: NO WAY! We can do way better than a dumb square of plastic with a hole drilled in it. So we got started with left over supplies from various jobs and projects, repurposed lumber, etc. The end result is awesome.
Before and since then, I have scoured the Internet for unique DIY ideas and could not find ANY that were as good or better than what we did. Not trying to pat myself on the back too much but everything was just various Home Depot inspired, boring crap. We have another shower to do and we wanted to improve on what we did before. It was pretty cool that our creation was better, in my opinion, than anything I was finding online but it was also discouraging because I felt like I was out of ideas. Yours is the first and only one I have found that truly got me inspired all over again. Absolutely stunning. I love it. CERTAINLY does not look like everything was purchased at Home Depot. Haha. AND it resembles a skill I have already practiced… I learned how to create large, naturalistic habitats for my reptiles that is basically expanding foam carved to look like real stone, then sealed with silicone and covered in sand, soil, coconut fiber, etc. This mine grotto shower is a much cooler, much sturdier variation of that theme so I feel like it’s something I could definitely pull off!
Anyway, thank you so much for the awesome video and the truly unique inspiration. It’s exactly what I needed to spark my imagination once more and get to work!!
Wow awesome! Very glad you liked it and was inspired from it! And thank you!
beautiful! i'm inspired
Thank you!! 😁👍
Amazing attention to detail and workman ship is bang on
Thank you so much!
Dude that’s unreal!!! Ur a beast
Thanks!
Amazing! thanks for sharing
Thank you!
As one contractor to another respect buddy you are an artist I love seeing a fellow blue-collar guy doing what they do I am capable of this and this helps with a material list and method I’m about to try it in my own home thanks to your video in a perfect world we could do a project together much respect keep on working bro
Rock on man! Thank you very much! Good luck with your project and have fun with it! 👌👌
Fantastic. Cheers! I’m going to try and learn as much as I can to do something similar. Thanks for the inspiration. if you could share a few tips that would be awesome!
Awesome! Thanks. And you’re welcome!!!! What tips are you looking for? Feel free to reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram
@@TheHiddenHomestead I’ll reach out to you on Instagram when I get a chance. We’ve been working pretty long hours here in Houston after the freeze that left everyone with busted pipes! Thanks again!
Well that topped everything else....I've officially seen it all. That was honestly truly absolutely amazing. I'd love to know how many hrs you have in that project. Damn truly awesome!
Hey thank you! From demo to clean up I probably have about 75-80 hours. That was of course by myself and a lot of it was spent going up and down the steps. 😮💨
Only reason I wouldn’t jump at having this shower would be the trying to clean in between the cracks but honestly it’s almost even worth it 👏🏼👏🏼🔥 amazing work
Thank you!! It’s actually not that bad. We have a battery powered brush that we use to clean it.The brush head spins and the handle is a 20” wand. So it actually makes cleaning pretty easy.
you can always lightly fill the cracks with clear or colored epoxy.
It is BEAUTIFUL! Some explanations of what you're doing and why would help a lot.
What would you like explained?
@@TheHiddenHomestead Pretty much all of it. Is it all concrete? special mixture? What sealants, where? Any way it's wonderful!
I am buiding a very minimalist home using Faswall Blocks on a slab. The bath has 3 stick walls and one masonry. I would like to skip all the high tech multilayer hoohah if possible and it looks like you have?
@@sandralewis1689 Ok well,
-Is it all concrete? What you can see, yes it is.
-special mixture? As the video shows it’s a mixture of Portland cement, fine sand and (acrylic) polymer admixes. So nothing to special about it but definitely not just a bag of type N mortar.
-what sealants? For the walls the paint used is an acrylic modified exterior paint which seals the concrete then 511 impregnating sealer is used over that. The floor is sealed with a masonry penetrating sealer then an acrylic concrete sealer.
When you say high tech multilayer hoohah, what are you referring to? I do have multiple layers but no they’re not all that high tech or expensive. The most expensive thing that I used is the hardibacker cement board with hydro defense. There’s many ways to “properly“ build a shower. But depending on who you talk to you more then likely built it wrong. I’ve been told numerous times that the way I built it is wrong. And maybe I did. Maybe I don’t know any better because I’m not a professional shower guy. But what I do know is that it was built a little over a year ago, I take VERY long evening showers shamefully wasting a ton of water, it was built on the second floor just above the family room where I spend the rest of the majority of my time when inside and not asleep, and ya know what? So far no leaks. I say all that to say this, I think that a little common sense sometimes can go further then the high tech hoohah.
Hopefully that answers at least most of your questions.
@@TheHiddenHomestead Thanks so much for the help.
@@sandralewis1689 👍
what an amazing shower! have you installed a waterproof membrane on the walls, and if not, why?
Thanks. For the walls I installed plastic then Hardie Backer with hydro defense.
Dude! Most impressive video I’ve seen on RUclips in a long time. How long did it take once you got the old tile out?
Thank you!! After demo I probably had another 40 hours in it. Most of which were spent walking up the stairs.
Very nice!!
Thank you!
Holy shit that’s amazing brother!! Was the foam board used for a bench I couldn’t tell.. how do you color it?
Thanks man! The foam was used for big build outs. I used it in a couple different places. But for the bench area it was for a back ready to set down and relax! I use a fortified acrylic paint to color it.
Thats so funny that you show the view from a plane window. Did you actually go on holiday to get inspired. You come across as a real artist. Inspiring!
😁 I did. Well sort of anyway. I normally go to the world of concrete but Disney is crammed packed full of decorative concrete it’s amazing. So it was inspiring and mind blowing to go see it all. And thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
This should have more views
😊😊🙏
Not the style I'd have chose but gotta admire the craftsmanship & the profound weirdness. Does the sealer do a good job keeping moisture out of the slabs?
As far as I know it does. We haven’t had any issues with it.
I have 2 accounts so I logged out and back in just so I can like this twice. I'm an artist so I have the cred to say you are one hell of an artist. I'm buying an ancient house soon and I am going to do this or embarrass myself trying.
Haha that’s awesome and thanks! It certainly helps the channel.
I appreciate the kind words. And I’m sure you can do it. I’d love to see the progress.
Dude, this is like a secret cave waterfall. Brilliant.
😄😄 thanks!!
It’s beautiful. How easy it to keep clean of mildew?
Thank you. It takes more to clean then a regular shower but it’s not that bad actually. Every other shower or so we spray it down with 50/50 water vinegar. Then once a week while I’m in the shower I spray it with the water/vinegar and do a quick scrub with a long soft bristle brush.
How does this not have a million views???
🤷🏼♂️ let’s get it there. share it with a million of your friends 😁😁
Thank you for your comment!
Oh wow thata beautiful
Thank you!!
Super neat!!! How do you guys like it after a couple years? I want to replace our tile shower for the same reasons you mentioned. So how’s concrete holding up with mold and mildew?
Thanks! Concrete’s doing great. Cleaning isn’t all that bad really. Takes a little more then most showers but thats ok considering it definitely is more than most showers.
Beautiful
Thank you!
wow .. man you MADE it ...
😃😃 thank you!!
Amazing!
Thank you!
The best shower ive ever seen....looks like a million bucks....im sure it wasnt overly expensive either:) How much did it cost all up to complete the shower?
Thank you. Material for it wasn’t that expensive. I think it ended up being 700-800 for the whole thing.
The man is a genius.
🙏🙏
I think that design could easily spread throughout the house, I have a ton of questions that I sure wish were answered throughout the video, but great job, please do a follow up after a while to discuss any changes, cleaning, maintenance, etc . I love unconventional home designs and this definitely fits the bill, great job!
Thank you! I was actually thinking about doing a follow up to discuss the pros and cons and how we clean it.
@TheHiddenHomestead that would be great! I'm also very curious how you clean it with so many little grooves. I'm sure you can't take a brush to it or else it would scratch.
@@user-cr6ki4qs4y no we actually do use an electric oscillating soft bristle brush with 50/50 water/vinegar spray. Every once in awhile we’ll need to use something a little stronger to get rid of the really stubborn soap scum.
@@TheHiddenHomestead great to know. Thanks for the quick reply.
Thank you for the great infos! Where did you get this siphon from, we are trying to find something like that, to use also with a wooden floor. Thanks!
I’m not sure of the siphon you’re referring to. Can you explain or what part of the video was it in?
Amazing!!!!!😮👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
I just found your channel....wow. I am so inspired ! Thank you. So amazing!
😃😃 thank you!!!
This is badass..... I'm gonna be doing this to my bath for sho
Awesome. Glad you liked it.
just found this video. amazing work!
Is there any issues with water standing in the big gaps? would you grout the spaces just i case ?
I would like to make something like this but i worry about the possible mold and cleaning issues. is it fairly easy to keep clean and maintained?
All the edges/gaps were shaped downward to allow drainage of excess water. The whole thing is essentially one big grout piece so I wouldn’t worry about it. Plus it’s sealed up with the paint and impregnating sealer.
Speaking of paint; I use a high acrylic outdoor paint with mold prohibitors in it. I’m not sure what exactly is in the paint but it does help keep the growth of mold down.
As far as maintenance and cleaning it is fairly easy… considering what it is anyway. It definitely takes more to clean then a normal shower. But. It’s not a normal shower. First thing to consider is a water softener. This will keep a lot of the calcium buildup from forming. Second we spray it down with a 50/50 mix of water/vinegar one or two times a week. Then, once or twice a month we scrub it down with an electric powered rotating soft bristle brush and more water/vinegar. It’s really not as difficult as some would think.
Dude so epic! ...when u demo'd that original shower i was like man.... but then you go from amateur hour to straight mortar magician and I am hands down inspired! Did you go take a workshop course somewhere?
Haha thank you! I haven’t taken any courses but there are plenty to choose from. I’ve just watched it being done a few times on RUclips and at the World of Concrete and then just started doing it. I’ve had a bit of practice over a few years.
I’m glad you enjoyed it and that it inspired you. That’s my biggest goal on this channel so thank you for mentioning it.
Gorgeousness
Thank you!
I would love to know more. Can you share a direct link? I am curious to know how it is waterproofed?
AMAZING work!
Thank you very much! I don’t have a direct link for any more information on it really but I do have an online course for vertical concrete if you’re interested in that. As far as waterproofing it was no different than doing a tile shower. As in I preformed all of the the same steps and practices as you would if you were to install a tile shower.
Awesome way to overcome a trip with magitude creations of concrete ! Question ... Ever considered ancient morrocan tadelakt or after you experience ... Considered it would be more of the same. Yes i consider bczof something many hours as working concrete rough on knees structure I am considering to remain as close to staying earthen ... But do u know of tadelakt methods ?
I never heard of it before but just did a quick search on it and I’m intrigued! I’m going to look into it some more.
Holy shit ball , that's amazing
😁 thank you!
The possibilities are endless!
amazing !
Thanks.
Nice, the Flintstones would be proud.
😂👍👍
Very impressive! How did you waterproof everything when it’s made of porous concrete? I also noticed you used poly behind the concrete board. Isn’t that discouraged?
There’s a couple of different things that were used to help water proof it. First was a good barrier created with the cement board. I can’t remember now which brand I used but it had a “aqua defense” built into it which helps keep excess moisture out. Then I used at least 1 inch (averaged 2 inches) of my vertical mix design. It is formulated to be less dense than regular concrete and hold up better in wet areas. After that cured for awhile I applied LOTS of thin coats of a thinned high acrylic exterior paint. That got into any pores and sealed them up. Lastly, I applied an impregnating sealer over the whole project that locked everything in. Of course there is some periodic maintenance that must be dont on it. But it’s kinda art work and I like doing it. I’ve read different school of thoughts about the poly sheeting. I used it as a last defensive measure against any possible moisture. Probably not needed but I had some already and didn’t add much time to the project.
