I love that you don't sacrifice form for function or function for form, but instead seem to realise that form *is* a part of function. seeing and interacting with beautiful things makes the burden of life easier to bear, and the smallest inconveniences add up to make life harder.
the level of detail is incredible! taking the lessons you share and adding it to mine. thank you!!
Do the linear shower drains cause pooling?
Wow, coping that base trim at 14:20, amazing!
Can I ask what was the sq.ft. Of the bathroom and if it was increased
Nick you are a tremendously enthusiastic craftsman and I really respect your work and drive. On this video/project, the angles drawers are not worth the additional head ache. I share your passion, but one (okay you, me and the other obsessed) might consider final use versus insane detail in our “fight for every inch”. Thank you for the wonderful work, keep striving and be well.
Best,
Rolf
Yeah, the entire video I was distracted thinking 'are those PacSun?' Thanks for confirming. That built-in dresser is beautiful. It looks flawless and I really like the contrast of the walnut interior. Well done.
The amount of comments and questions I get on clothing is absurd. 😂
You could use an over extension slide on one side to get even more out of that angled drawer.
Having the led strip with more condense led help a lot with seeing the reflection of each led light on top of having the diffuser.
If that drain in the laundry is hidden under a machine you are going to have to figure a way to keep the trap full of water. As it won't be used regularly you'll get sewer gas when it dries out.
In practicality, the drain idea is really cool, i personally wouldn't want water pitched towards the door in my shower however, just my feelings.
Hey can you please show the bay window storage bench when it's installed and how it's built please! That's exactly what I need to get done for my bay window too! Amazing work as usual.
Dude what if waterfall island floating idea includes a color programmable lED light in that detail. Also the range hood would look awesome with the same reveal as the P&P top of cabinets. Ps y’all is crazy ocd ⭐️⚠️

Hi, do you do anything special to your baseboard for water resistance in the bathroom ? Thanks, Xavier
I'm amazed at how you never cease to amaze me with the details! I know you guys didn't do the cabinets in the second project shown here (I'm horrible with names of projects too and not just people apparently), but I would love to know how the are finished to that glass like sheen.
I'm guessing high gloss laminate. ( I saw a plastic peel coating leading me to think that.)
These have a gloss laminate. But we have achieved similar finish with a gloss paint and top coat
I think they were Poggenpohl cabinets. (BTW)
Funny thing but you brought it up, when you mentioned your clothes. Your shirt looks as if it cam from the bottom of a laundry 🧺 Bonobos is a great brand for pants and tops but also Bluffworks ...
Aw snap. I’ll be sure to steam it next time. Got lazy that morning
It would seem to me that 2 18" slides would do the same thing. Regards, Bill
@ 12:45, where did you hide the transformer for the electricity that powers the LED lights?
Great video Nick. How does your electrician tackle the wiring for the undermount LED strip? To my understanding they require a driver that can be quite bulky. Cheers
At our (unrelated) place My lighting planner set up the plans for the electrician and builder to have an accessible panel for all the drivers , the odd one u can slip inside a light fixture , tc jolly makes very tiny ones
Do you have a link for the exact diffuser and bracket you use for the led tape light? I’m trying to do the exact same thing under some floating shelves In My kitchen remodel
I’m really surprised that more contractors aren’t pitching their curbless shower floors towards the glass door. It eliminated the need to raise the entire subfloor if it’s a renovation. Of course you have to consider plumbing, and it has to be a linear drain.
I'm looking at doing exactly that. This video is very timely.
Speaking as a plumber I must say its not only prohibited by the uniform plumbing code but also a terrible idea from a common sense standpoint. The code states the finished elevation of the drain must be 2" lower than the finished floor (threshold) at a slope no less than 1/4" per foot and no greater than 1/2" per foot. Some inspectors will allow a difference of as little as an inch between drain and finish, but all around here agree the concept is to create a pan to contain water in the event the drain clogs with hair, the rest of the room isn't flooded.
@@kylefogle6022 interested to learn what code that is? We have never ran into an issue with this before. We also waterproof the entire room and up the walls behind the baseboard to creat a “bathtub”
@@NSBuilders UPC 408.5 I've had a few inspectors here use finish floor and threshold interchangeably which makes sense because the idea is to creat a pan. Around here, and I'm sure your familiar with the concept but couldn't apply it in this case due to existing plumbing constraints, the floor framing is typically dropped to accommodate the now recessed shower pan. I've heard a few contractors float the idea of waterproofing the whole room as you mentioned, but as one inspector remarked, what about the doorway?
if that shower drain ever starts to clog up, that's going to be a wet bathroom floor since the pan slopes forward instead of backward.
How do you snake the damn thing?
I would take the collar on the hood all the way up. I'm assuming by not doing so, a lot of dust and cooking related who knows what will accumulate up there and will be challenging to clean.
They call drywall mud plaster in New England?
It’s veneer plaster over blue board. Different from drywall mud
Personally I wouldn't leave a shadow line above the hood. That whole area tends to wind up greasy and the shadow line will collect more than its fair share and be difficult to clean...
You're assuming clients of these types of home actually cook...
Great point. Also, the cabinets are scribes tight
Poggenpohl couldn't have bettered your South End brownstone kitchen... and they ain't now. 😀 (I realize you inherited it)
Do you use WindsorONE trim?
Typically we’re using Kuiken Brothers for our trim
What plumbing code do you follow? I'm asking because that shower doesn't meet upc criteria; the finish drain elevation needs to be 2" lower than the surrounding finish floor (threshold) sloped at no more than 1/2" per foot and no less than 1/4" per foot. The idea as explained by inspectors in my area is to create a pan which will hold water in the event when, not if, that linear drain clogs with hair and overflows, the surrounding area will not be subject to water. As a plumber I can confirm that those drains do clog quickly and the concept of the code should be common sense to builders.
Everything is to code. You should always check if these things meet code in your area. Thanks Kyle.

Hey, the website URL in the description isn't redirecting to the ns.builders site.
Thanks for heads up!
Why didn't you just offer a floating vanity instead of scribing brass legs? Customer request?
I thought the same thing.
Yes, this was provided by the client.
Bad idea burying any part of that Navian. If you happen to watch Mikey Pipes the pipe doctor on youtube, you’ll know he loves them machines but they need constant maintenance and require yearly checkups. Filters, gaskets, t and p valve, common corrosion, etc. Other than that, great content.
The cabinet allows full serviceability
Sorry I couldn’t make out what name you said when you mentioned where you got the LED channel from

@@NSBuilders Thanks!
Wearing a mask, WILL NOT WATCH anything from your channel. The sheer idiocy.
Cool. Thanks for watching though!
