Jeff grunting ASMR video when?
😂
Cheers Jason!
Grunting ASMR that ends with him saying "cheers!"
That's every video
That's odd...
One of the few youtube channels I follow and even fewer that I know I can 'thumbs up' before I even watch the video!
Cheers Bill!
I love how you’ll do what all contractors do, use the tool that’s close to hand and then have the grace to point it out, explain why you did it, and roll TF on.
Get er done!
Home RenoVision DIY Thanks for the shower pan install video and info, I built my tiny home, (16'x24') 10yrs ago and have added to it every year and on my list is to tear out my tub/shower and put in a shower pan and enclosure and put a jetted free standing tub on my screened in porch. So I am doing all my research on installing a shower pan. Thanks so much Jeff.
I like the way you guys slow your videos down and explain in detail everything with out all that music and flying through it , nice job
You’re One of the best to watch on RUclips because of you I did my first chat tile job and it turned out great. Can’t wait to see the rest of these thanks for sharing
Awesome! Thank you!
sure..he put sand mix on top of the wood floor..sure the best lol what happens if the shower pan is leaks lol
Love your videos! We purchased a split level a while back and converted it into basement apartment and upstairs main level. We remodeled the basement, but it was a quick, mostly cosmetic make over everywhere, only had to convert existing wet bar into a full kitchen... That was my first ever backsplash tile job and I think it looks great for first time 😅😉 Thank you! Now we want to tackle on the upstairs (cuz I am sick of the 90's look we have) and one of the projects I want to do is expanding master bath into the master room and closet in order to add the laundry in there (plenty of space to eat in)... These videos give me much needed inspiration and courage to get working on my remodel 😁👌 THANK YOU!
It is our pleasure.
Thanks for the videos. I've been working in the sand mining industry since 05. Yes, it can take forever for that Silica dust to finally settle, but you're good. That little bit won't hurt.
You certainly provide excellent instructions and great commentary during your video presentations. I have become a big fan and now check your video playlist to get tips and knowledge before starting a project I have never tackled before. Thank you for all the hard work in putting together these DIY videos.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I’ve had to become a DIYr and this is 1st time I’m having to redo a bathroom/and shower due to poor tile installation hired by prior owner, which revealed a leak after my 1st shower. Not only have you shown all the key details needed, but have given me the confidence to know I CAN indeed do this - at least the basics to prep for our plumber’s portion that I am not comfortable tackling; and eliminating the dread I’ve been feeling bc I must do as much as possible to save us money bc of endless issues we’ve been clobbered with here. Again, a gazillion thanks! 🤗
I am in the exact same boat... right down to the leak. Bathroom is down to the studs right now. Good luck!
What a great video! Definitely needed this help for my bathroom! Cheers Jeff!
I always love your video's Jeff. The church video's are fun. Can't wait to see what the future holds.
Mee too. Cheers!
I love your videos Jeff, always learn a lot from you, please keep creating and uploading this great content, thanks! 😊👍🙏
Thanks, will do!
I just tour out a bathroom today that someone put cement down on OSB board 20 years ago and the only part or the bathroom the floor was rotten was where the cement was I’m not sure why but I came across the same situation about 8 years ago and every since then I put felt under any type of cement or I use a bonding agent that’s moisture resistant. It’s just a tip that I do because of what I’ve seen. Thanks for the video and I always enjoy watching them.
Love the sandbed technique, trying it out today
I'm in a similar situation with expanding a 2-piece to 3-piece. Will need to cut through concrete (split level on slab). But I think you have one of those videos already dealing with that. This was super helpful and freakishly relevant.
Cheers!
I love this guy because he shows working with basic tools that almost everyone can do, not like othe diys that says diy tben uses cnc machine.
Awsome! I was waiting for this video for a while, as a rookie I needed this video to build a washroom in my basement Thank you as always.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the video dad! You have helped us so much!
Great to hear! Cheers!
My favorite teacher. 😊
I learned a lot with your video, thank you.👍👍👍
I was waiting for this video, please post part 3 soon. Thank you!
You got it! Is Saturday soon enough. Cheers!
Really looking forward to this series. I’m currently trying to work my way through redoing my basement bathroom. I have been dreading the shower portion a bit. I have piping already from the ground to use. I just hope there is a way to get a pan that fits the hole?? Not sure if that’s a thing, I haven’t done much shopping around yet, I know they have pre-cut holes in some you can buy but not sure if it will fit what I need yet. May do some measurements tonight… I have to redo the water piping first though so not rushing.
“This is key, always having everything on site!”
30 seconds later
“Yeah that’s not the ideal bit, but it’s all I could find”
Haha love your videos man!
Just keeping it real. Cheers!
Multi-tool with scraper works great on that
I needed this 4 months ago. I am almost done renovating my bathroom from a weird layout with 2 separate vanities, 60’s tile shower, and toilet to a 4 piece with a Duravit shower pan and free standing tub. Hired plumbers to do the rough in’s and had them do install on tub and shower because I didn’t know anything about installing them. Turns out they knew even less. Guess they were only qualified for leaks and clogs. I knew enough (and could read install sheet) that mentioned a mortar bed under the pan but didn’t give any details. I was hoping plumbers would know more. They did bare minimum of mortar underneath but at least the duravit pan is heavy, maybe 60-80 lbs and mostly self supporting. The mortar I hope is mostly to keep it from moving so I hope they put enough so I’m not dealing with a mess in 5 years.
I have been watching a lot of your videos lately and been going back to the older videos because I am going to frame out and completely make a bathroom in an unused space. My question is do you have a video on installing a linear drain shower system?
Thanks 😃
If you are installing drainline to shower after can you measure your down drainline and go ahead and install it to drain before you set pan? That way you can just glue in pea trap and connect to main drain line! So you do not have to fight with pipe connection after installation!
This will only work with new construction and if you have room! Or will this not work or cause a problem?
I found if you don’t have a massive pair of pliers you can use one of those oil filter wrenches to tighten that plastic nut on the drain assembly.
Hi Jeff, First of all, I want to say thanks so much for your uploads! I am DIY most of my basement right now here in Toronto and all these videos have given me lotsa tricks!
In shopping for a shower base, what should I be looking for? User reviews? Material composition?
The brand "Dreamline" from Home Depot seem to get excellent reviews. Any brands I should look for (or avoid) or you recommend?
Thanks!
Hello, does the hardiebacker rest slightly above and inside the shower pan or does the hardiebacker rest behind the shower pan lip that is screwed into the studs?
Great videos. Super helpful! Youve helped in a pinch more than once. What is the sand mix called when buying at home depot?
you and I seem to be working the same projects around the same timelines, hilarious !
Cheers!
Great advice.
Cheers Lou!
Thanks u sir❤
Jeff your the best! Hey setting a 60x30 Dreamline pan 2nd floor on plywood floor. Apparently setting sand mix required sloped 1” around to 3/8” @ drain on right side. Questions- can I somehow retrofit a linear drain hypothetically 24”-26 wide. Thinking would need cut into the acrylic pan though. Would be cool if possible but would void pans warranty surely. On that note, they claim not being able tile directly onto pan or lbuild wall or bench on the curb. I wanted to do a pony wall up bout 42” in bout 30” from valve wall. Would do glass above joining 30” door hinged on end wall plus help block looking at toilet while showering. Perhaps a 2x6 wall half built to subfloor half laying on curb aiding distributing weight. Suppose a guy could lay it on metal bracket nailed to subfloor reaching over curb then silicone the joint. Both sides be tiled continuing tile behind toilet and vanity.
How would you go about adding a bench or two in back corners. Should a corbel be used? Then would be integrating large mosaic niche in center of back wall. Or construct 30” x? Or a Bench attached to end wall though glass door be attached to curb. Suppose easy way be utilizing removable teak chair/bench .. lastly ,so much for the couple questions:) - adding soffit above shower integrating a light/fan or whatever cool gadgets you can think of Thanks Jeff 😊
Thx for this video. will be help full with my shower installation for sure.
Anyway I have an one practical question. do I have to install shower base on concrete or install sub floor first? I'm doing basement development. Thank you for recommendation.
Legend!
How can one person know all this stuff? Amazing! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼❤️
raised 4 kids at 19 so I worked a lot of long days to pay those bills.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello Jeff.
This is probably the best most informative home renovation channel. But I will say it again. The filming is not great. It does not show us everything we need to see. Please take it as a constructive criticism.
Great video.
Thanks larry!
Love your videos. Options for replacing fiberglass pan with a slightly larger pan. ????
Thanks!
Cheers my friend!
Great video! Can you explain why you didn't put felt paper under the cement?
If you were doing this on concrete, what would you use instead of the sand? Mortar? Thx!
By the way great job
Great video, very informative and thanks for sharing.
Hi, watch all of your videos & have been doing a similar line of work under someone for several years. Thinking of going on my own and was wondering what your thoughts were on a property maintenance course, which gives a qualification and bit of experience in carpentry, plumbing, plastering, tiling ect.. Is it worth the price tag of like 2000 for such a course?
the metal piece you set aside is the tool to tighten it
You got that 👍😎🤚👏
Do i need something similar for going on concrete? I have a rough in basement bathroom and installing shower stall and toilet. Was wondeting if i need the thin set or sand as well. It seemed not to creak, i still have to check if its level at least.
Can you do a video on installing heated floors in a bathroom? Btw, I'm new here, and your amazing. Thank you for these videos! I have no men in the family to teach me these things, and I'm a big diyer. Thank you! ❤️
Hi Kristi! we have a couple vids on that. my favorite way is with ditra heat. cable in membrane system. simply go to the home page and find the magnifying glass to type in a search topic. If you search ditra heat you will find a couple vids about heating systems. Cheers!
Can you use the sand mix method on a basement concrete floor without applying any kind of floor prep
Thanks jeff, right on time for what om designing right now, im planing to tile the bottom of my shower, any suggestions on what i can use for a pan that i can tile over?
tile ready makes a nice product that makes a custom shower with the benefit of a prefab base you tile over.
Hello Sir, Is there no need to do waterproofing on subfloor before installing the base?
Great tuotorial! What is the brand/model of this shower kit?
Do you think it’s a good idea to tile a bathroom with porcelain tile, from ceiling to floor all the away around? I live in a row home & im concerned about the amount of weight the joist/walls can hold…
you make stuff look so easy and simple. how dare you give me confidence to spend more money!
Do you recommend apply thin set on a slab foundation?
Do you use sand mix for tubs too?
Does the Sandmix anchor the shower pan or just for leveling purpose? Thanks
Where did you buy your shower kit from and did it come with walls and the door?
Can you do sand mix in cold weather on a new build?
Can you put mortar or thinset directly on OSB like that?
Any suggestions where to purchase round corner shower pan with glass enclosure?
Sooo
I've watched your video a day late and I can tell you this was very helpful. I used sika self leveling and had no luck. Was it the way I laid it down? The mix was just a bit thicker than water I used the amount of water required.... My question to you is can I leave the self leveling there and pour the sand mix over it or should I remove it?
Keep the good videos coming and Thank you
Also I was going to run linoleum all the way to the wall and set it on top . So I don't have to cut around,
I am intrigued on how you will have access to the plumbing underneath the pan
Watch the previous video in this series, he has quite a few inches on the raised flooring he built and didn’t put an end on that joist bay so he can still access it.
Where do you out the drywall if you use direct to stud shower walls? Still the same place as the glue on shower wall?
Great video,thank you
The hole under my shower pan is bigger than the one you made .Will that cause a problem?
shouldn't. they are designed to be pretty sturdy. The sand mix is just to provide a little extra stuff to keep it from making noises while walking on it.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to instal Kirdi waterproofing membrane first to prevent and possible damage to the sub-floor and to act as a disconnect between the sub-floor and the mortar bed? Shouldn't the screw holes be elogated to keep from cracking the shower base should there be any flex?
Instead of sand mix or mortar would you be able to use self leveler and let that set up before putting the shower pan in? That would create a perfectly level surface for the shower to sit on
They don’t really work like that. Unless you have a dam around your pour area and mix 3 or four gallons, pour it ,screed , then walk away.
I am planning to install a corner shower in a 1950 home with a crawlspace replacing a tub. Any suggestions.
Hello Jeff. Thanks for the informative video. My question is what if the floor was concrete and level, do we still have to use sand mix? Or we can just install it as it is. Thanks a lot.
I'm not Jeff, but the short answer is Yes. Every pro I know uses a mortar base. It prevents flexing, even if a very heavy person uses the shower. Remember, flexing eventually leads to cracks and leaks. It's minimal expense and reasonably easy.
hey dopey..think maybe you should have used some sort of barrier between the sand mix and the WOOD FLOOR lol
Box stores don't carry Claymore mines, either. Get those at the pro shop along with the superior caulking
what about holding the threaded part with rubber strap wrench?
What if there is an existing hole, and not sure if your new shower pan will match the location?
Hey Jeff,
Wouldn’t the sandmix be floating on the wood floor because it doesn’t stick to it?
What if installing in basement on concrete? Use sand mix still without a primer?
Do I need that mortar for on a concrete basement rough it?
15:55 what type of screws did you use to secure the shower pan to the studs? And do they need caulking over the screw?
basic steel screws. and no. eventually a waterproofing layer is added.
I have seen videos using a membrane of plastic or roofing paper placed on the wood floor then the sand mix/cement placed on top of this material. Others apply the sand mix/mortar directly onto the wood floor to level out shower base. Are there any benefits for either application? Does it really matter?
"I'm not big on safety but im not stupid..." 😂
When he almost sawed into the cord 5:34 I got some shivers.
Done it. "What happened? Why'd this thing stop working?"
a trick with the jigsaw is to hold it on an angle push against the wood. it will cut it with our a piolet hole.
Do you not use any type of mortar with the bedding mix? I was about to do this similarly today but the Mapei mud bed mix mentions using a mortar on the bed and I did not have any. Thank you
if you are using Mapei with mortar then it acts like an adhesive to the pan as well. this system requires you leave a weight on it until you install the doors since there is no adhesive.
Hi Jeff, What is the name of the leveling product you bought at Home Depot? I cant see the name on the bag.
Would you still use the same compound under a shower pan in a basement with cement floor? Also, what bits are you using in your impact driver? I've had terrible luck with the Bosch, Makita, etc. Thanks in advance, your videos are an enormous help!
I second this question!
yes for the compound. as for the bits i get them from the folks who do exchange a blade. find a store that supplies those blades and they will sell those bits as well. Cheers!
I love asbestos... good stuff!
If you are tiling the bathroom do you put this down before tile or after? If after would you put the pan on top of the tile or tile around it?
Guessing you have already found your answer but this before. when you tile it goes over were he put the screws.
@HomeRenoVisionDIY hey Jeff what would you do in a situation where your shower flange is 1/4 and you have 1/2 board on top. Is there something to put over the flange to make it flush with your wall?
"instead of using thinset, like you would for cement" are you suggesting that you can't use thinset in this application or simply that it just isn't ideal. I fully understand why this sandmix is better, just wondering why thinset would/wouldnt work
No tarpaper or anything between the wood and cement??? Wood absorb the moisture?
Isn't the flat metal bracket for helping out with tightening the drain, why didn't you use it?
Wait, I just watched another video where you used Speedset fortified thinset mortar to install a shower pan.
Now I’m not sure which to use. 🤷🏼♂️
