I know this video was created two years ago. I am a nurse and will never in a million years do reno work...but now I know such much more than I did. Maybe when my husband talks about things, I won't look at him blankly. I have watched this all the way through and told him I had learned more about construction it the last 1.5 hours than any blonde should know. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain what you are doing and why. I love teaching in my profession and I can tell you are gifted at it. Keep up the good work!!
First off, THANK YOU!!! My girlfriend and I are currently renovating our bathroom I must say that this video has help so much. I am surprised that this video does not has a million views. Doing anything around the home can seem daunting but you've shown us so much and we're both doing a lot more on our own. We followed all your steps and manage to save so much money. So thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

I just found this guy when i was sitting here in CORONAVIRUS melt down when i had the bright idea of ripping out my bathroom at 50 years old and zero building knowledge . This guy makes it all look so easy. I will be watching until this can of worms is done . As soon as I tried to shut the water off I had a major problem.
Jeff - your video, just this one, has probably saved me $20,000 in expenses for the renovation I need to do on two bathrooms. I'll be able to do a lot of it myself but I didn't really know what to be careful about... You showed me here. Thanks so much for making such awesome content!!!
This is better than this old house. You are awesome. I just inherited my father's untouched 1950s house. It needs help. Thanks to you, it's going to get it.
Br....You are such a blessing...I am kinda a “particular” on wanting things done “my way”...This is causing me to have to learn how to do my own home renovations...I really enjoy how you just talk regular...and you simplify things...THANK YOU...
great advice ,did most of my own repairs and rehab. (fell & fractured my back in 3 places ,3 disc in neck 1 ankle and a knee... don't do things half ass.. I've watched hundreds of videos to ask the that knows what he's doing but does not feel the need to go around the block to get across the street... I owned and auto repair center for 35 years and understand sometimes the short is straight through the middle and STOP LOOKING there is no short cut, when there is you make sure to let us know (the floor with fine thread drywall screws DA....) KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS............
Just used a screw driver and a hammer with your method to remove the tub drain, lots of banging but it is off, and it cost me nothing. Your videos are the best. You encouraged me to take on all the repairs and updates my home needs..I can go on and on but thank you for all the great content!!! Stay safe
Getting ready to do my first diy bathroom reno I’ve spent the past 2 watching every video I could in order to make the process nice and easy. I feel very confident going into my projects after watching your content. Thanks for the great videos!
Jeff, found your channel about a week ago and I cannot get enough of the videos. Already started doing some work using your videos as a guide. Already have a list of improvement projects planned thanks to your thorough training videos. Thanks.
Love the videos! I usually tune out watching super long vids, but when i catch myself tuning out I pause these videos and come back to make sure i don't miss anything.
I discovered your DIY on RUclips few weeks ago. You are doing a great job teaching us the home owners to do the renovation same as professional. I’ve been enjoying every episode specially your bathroom renovation tips. Thank you for such a good program.
Jeff you should use your sand cloth on the copper pipe where you plan to place fittings before you cut it. It'll save you some hassle with loose pipe and trying to sand it while holding at the same time.
Just had to remove a mirror that was really glued tight. Used a thin wire, pulling it carefully from side to side to cut through the double-sided adhesive. It worked.
I was thinking initially that you’d do something which I forgot to do in my 460 sq feet ceramic tile demo 2 years ago. But I am glad I did the same as you did. I also rented a powered chisel tool from HD for helper. I only used the hammer and I am done in less than 1-1/2 hr while my helper only did 10’x10’ area. I like your way of explaining to DIYers.
That is really funny how big brother knows what we are up to. I hope it was helpful. Cheers. Feel free to ask questions on any video ...we are here to help!
Hi Jeff, love you videos! Everything you do and need is explained clearly & completely from beginning to end. Most others don't do that... My Christmas wishlist includes a video for one part of my kitchen remodel. :) I plan to install hydronic heating directly below my new tile floor. I believe I need a 2nd subfloor and self leveling. The house is 40 years old. I am looking at this long term, so my understanding is hydronic is the better choice versus electric. Thanks! Rob
1. What is the best sub-floor to install in a bathroom? 2. What is the best wall and floor substrate? 3. Do we need to install heating with Schluter-Ditra-Heat, or can I just use the substrate without installation of heating system? (We got a ton of the substrate for free). 4. Do we have to level the floor before installing Schluter-Ditra? 5. Our shower drain is very loose when we removed the sub-floor, is this normal? Should we get a plumber to look at it? THANK YOU!!! My friends do not understand where I'm getting all of my knowledge ;) I say RUclips Home Renovision! You have the ability to make the average first-time home-buyer feel confident.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was incredibly helpful! While the Covid situation here in India continues to stay bad, I think I'd like to be working upon my bathrooms myself!
Throughly benefitted from this 1-1/2 hour series. I’d thank you but it would not begin to express my gratitude nor my respect from your hands on video. Good Morning to you Sir.
The way you take out those sections of tile walls is a thing of beauty! Question - how can I be that precise and neat when demoing in a lath and plaster house?
So informative! I have looked for a video like this for a long time - I have an 11x16 Ft bathroom that I am wanting to take on soon. THANK YOU!! :) I cannot wait to see what I uncover during the initial demo of the original (what looks like DIY) bathroom!
Great video again, Jeff! I’m a professional remodeler/tile installer always looking for new knowledge. You always teach me a few things. Thank you for the videos, keep up the great work!
Cheers from the other side of the RIVER in Aylmer ! Your videos are amazing Jeff. Im attacking my vanity from the 90's as we speak! Thanks to you, I attacked the plumbing with pure confidence! Keep doing what you're doing and congrats on a million subscribers.
It would be great to see a link to the other copper piping video(s) within the description to save one searching after this video. Loved the content though. It's great. I love how much detail you go to and the step by step nature. Brilliant.
Hey Jeff, love the channel, i just purchased a new home and have been eating up all the videos on my project wish list! One thing i haven't seen that would be very cool is a video on installing a new staircase or tri level sunken living room railing with rod iron and securing new newel posts. Thanks again for all the awesome tips, and making my projects worlds easier!
Truth is Trenton, some things are best left to professionals. I would not consider that a DIY project even for myself. I would install glass on a staircase though.
Only WISH I'd seen this video before I spent $8K each for my two bathrooms! They did a great job, but I'd rather have had the knowledge to do it myself....Thanks Jeff.
I've seen people add insulation around a tub to try to hold the bathwater temperature for longer, but I think that insulation was thrown in to 'soak up' the sound waves that would have bounced around in the tub platform cavity. like muting a kick drum by stuffing it with blankets or something.
you're totally right, there's not enough insulation in there to do much of anything. actually, after thinking about it some more, it's totally just where they put the scraps.
At first it seemed very overwhelming. But now I know that I can do this! Thank you for all your videos, this is becoming a hobby for me. Can you make a video on repairing water damaged subfloor? My situation is that a tenant did not dry the floor after baths and it damaged the subfloor overtime. (It may even be a drain leak) I see minor water damage in the ceiling below, so, I worry it might be the entire subfloor beneath the tub.
Fantastic video. Convinced me to hire someone. Throughout the video I can see a plethora of technique, which, without knowing them, will create a HUGE mess.
Another great video!!! Thanks!! I love that you are so thorough and you want to do things the right way. It amazes me how many people do things the lazy way or half ass it. When i was a kid my grandfather used to always say to me “do a job big or small, do it right or not at all”, and that has stuck with me my whole life. And it looks like you follow that motto also! What state are you in? I would love to have you do work in my house next time I need some done! Thanks again for a great video!!!
The black residual on the insulation is a problem. It means there is a substantial air leak point in your building envelope. Not only dry dirty air passes through these leaks, but moist air does as well. As air transfer through your building envelope as does vapor. This is why a tight air barrier in a Canadian climate is more important then the illustrated 6 mil poly vapour retarder. When you are doing a renovation and you find evidence of air intrusion, it is a great time to seal it up. Do not leave as we have seen here.
Hi Jeff, thank you for all of the extremely useful info! Total bathroom gut and remodel and thanks for the aqua defense advise in tub area. I'll be tiling soon. Regards, John
I have been watching your channel for a week now and love it. I would like to know if you have a vid on how to tile around a window in tub area. thanks and keep up the good work
Not specifically that However the best option is to use stine sills and frame the interior of the window so that it protrudes just a 1/8th past the tile depth on the wall. this is easy to seal up and looks great. You can get that sill in marble or quartz or corion. Cheers!
I have discovered your videos by accident and I love it! I need to remodel my bathroom and I'm on very tight budget and I'm learning how to do it and getting confident to do it myself. I can't thank you enough for your hard work and great teaching techniques! Thanks, Ivy
Questions: I’ve been successfully demolishing my master bathroom, following your instructions. After removing the shower & tub walls, pan, and tub surround, I was surprised to find at least a FULL INCH of concrete under the bathroom floor tile. It is very securely bonded to the plywood subfloor. 1.) Tips for removing the tile but leaving the concrete? Advisable to do so or not? I smashed a couple tiles and it’s very securely adhered to that thick concrete. 2.) Another challenge: the shower pan was a smaller footprint than required by the tub next to it. I require the floor side of those previous footprints to be a straight line, so if I’m leaving the concrete intact, I’d still need to some trim of it along the area where the shower pan was. How? What tool(s)? How do I keep from cutting through the plywood subfloor? Thanks!
Hi Sean, while the tub is out you can get a bar under the concrete and lift it out rather easily. leaving that floor will cause you issues at the transition. once it is removed all of your other problems are gone. OR if you pull the shower pan forward and build out the back wall then you will have a nice finish as well. perhaps a thin vinyl flooring to get a new look. Cheers!
So I've been watching your videos for hours. This touches on something I am dealing with in my house. I took the layer of plywood off the floor and it has laminate underneath. I want to lay more laminate down but there was an issue of rotten wood. My husband's dad cut it out and put some concrete board or something down there. It's now the same height as the laminate so I can't take the laminate off now. I need to make the transition nicer so it doesn't show under the floor. What would you suggest?
Background - My 20 year old son and I are going to tackle a complete bathroom remodel in a 60 year old house. We have watched most of the videos about demolition, tub/surround install and drywall. We intend to use the Bootz NexTile tub & surround combination (very cool integrated shelf and reasonable ($509 at Home Depot) and the Ikea Hemnes 40" vanity/sink combo. Questions: Is there a checklist or an A to Z video that explains/shows the "sequence of events/installs" for a bathroom remodel after the demo is complete? In other words "what do I do first, second, third ... last?" Drywall before or after the floor? Complete all the plumbing at the same time or do it at the time of the individual fixture installs? What do you suggest with the following ceiling dilemma? We have a 60 year old ceiling that has been repainted and patched many times. There are rusty drywall screws popping through and it looks like a mess. It’s a rambler so I’ve got insulation up above. I’m going to take your advice on installing the LED lights from the Canadian supplier. Option 1 = We are going demo down to the studs except for the ceiling because I am trying to avoid the problem of insulation mess/expense. However the ceiling is a bit of a mess with rusty screws popping through and poor previous repairs (see photo). I was planning on: Putting in new drywall screws and removing the old rusty screws Put on a layer of Kilz. Skim coat to smooth out the rough spots and then paint Option 2 = The other option is to apply Kilz and simply install new 1/4" drywall over the existing mess. Am I on the right track for the ceiling or do you have other ideas? Thanks - Dan & Max
I have a bathroom with a shared wall (where the tub is) that needs to go down to the studs. If I need to use fire rated board for the common wall what is the best water/mold resistant board to use? I would like to use Kerdi board but it doesn't appear to be fire rated. Your channel is the best I've found. Thank you for all the great instruction!
We absolutely love you guys. You have given us a lot of tips that are spot on. We want to become Canadians now. My husband says he will become Captain Canuck. LOL Also will you be doing a Wet bar build anytime soon. Or another kitchen rehab? You camera guy is doing an awesome job as well. Love these videos keep up the great job Max and Jeff.
Hi Gina, Thanks for making my morning! Yes we will be renovating a kitchen project early next year. This is a century home full gut with structural changes and everything. Should be a lot of fun for everyone. Cheers!
I find removing a toilet is made so much easier by using a shop vac to get all of the water out of the tank and also stick it in the bowl because it will suck all of the water out of the trap. You can then lift the toilet and no water spills.
these videos are awesome. I just had a water leak from the hot water line on my fiberglass insert bath. Gave me the excuse to gut it and do the whole master bath room over. Is there going to be basically the reverse of this video? Like, the install of the bathroom floor, vapor barrier in the shower, standalone tub, toilet, etc? Thanks for all the help in advance sir.
Hi Jeff when I finish my master bath reno I want todo the guest one the. tile floor is in good condition on cement bed. considering tiling over tile ...opinion. just want to hear down walls around tub... It's cast put in new faucet.. When I get close I have to call you. Vin ... 'll call tomorrow if I can figure it out....or monday
Fantastic video and explanation. I am about to do a bathroom demo and this is just the kind of video I was hoping. I would give more thumbs up if I could. Thanks for doing this. Liked and subscribed.
Jeff, I discovered your channel yesterday.... I've been WANTING classes like these for years! Most educational channel I've ever seen. I can't thank you enough.

Question for you though, when measuring for a new tub to fit in the same spot no modifications to the walls do you from lip to lip
Jeff use a shop vac to get all the water out of the toilet / also for cleanup on the perimeters of the walls and such

When you are doing a renovation and you find evidence of air intrusion, it is a great time to seal it up. Do not leave as we have seen here.
Hi Jeff, thank you for all of the extremely useful info! Total bathroom gut and remodel and thanks for the aqua defense advise in tub area. I'll be tiling soon. Regards, John
Good work with all of this, keep it up man!
That hammer face haha 1:04:35 - love the videos sir, going to apply a lot of your tips on my bathroom remodel and might post on my channel as well :)
I have been watching your channel for a week now and love it. I would like to know if you have a vid on how to tile around a window in tub area. thanks and keep up the good work
Not specifically that However the best option is to use stine sills and frame the interior of the window so that it protrudes just a 1/8th past the tile depth on the wall. this is easy to seal up and looks great. You can get that sill in marble or quartz or corion. Cheers!
best channel ever!!!
I have discovered your videos by accident and I love it! I need to remodel my bathroom and I'm on very tight budget and I'm learning how to do it and getting confident to do it myself. I can't thank you enough for your hard work and great teaching techniques! Thanks, Ivy
Questions: I’ve been successfully demolishing my master bathroom, following your instructions. After removing the shower & tub walls, pan, and tub surround, I was surprised to find at least a FULL INCH of concrete under the bathroom floor tile. It is very securely bonded to the plywood subfloor.
1.) Tips for removing the tile but leaving the concrete? Advisable to do so or not? I smashed a couple tiles and it’s very securely adhered to that thick concrete.
2.) Another challenge: the shower pan was a smaller footprint than required by the tub next to it. I require the floor side of those previous footprints to be a straight line, so if I’m leaving the concrete intact, I’d still need to some trim of it along the area where the shower pan was. How? What tool(s)? How do I keep from cutting through the plywood subfloor?
Thanks!
Hi Sean, while the tub is out you can get a bar under the concrete and lift it out rather easily. leaving that floor will cause you issues at the transition. once it is removed all of your other problems are gone. OR if you pull the shower pan forward and build out the back wall then you will have a nice finish as well. perhaps a thin vinyl flooring to get a new look. Cheers!
So I've been watching your videos for hours. This touches on something I am dealing with in my house. I took the layer of plywood off the floor and it has laminate underneath. I want to lay more laminate down but there was an issue of rotten wood. My husband's dad cut it out and put some concrete board or something down there. It's now the same height as the laminate so I can't take the laminate off now. I need to make the transition nicer so it doesn't show under the floor. What would you suggest?
Bravo sir!!!!!!!!
Worth its weight in gold. Thanks!
When we can see clip with all the bloopers, haha, must be fun.
Jeff, thanks a lot for your time and effort producing this video. Very informative!! Thanks bro!!
I just discovered your channel this month. Love the content! Thanks brother man! Let us know if you are ever in San Antonio, TX!
Will do Jason, but I don't expect to do any traveling for another year! Scratch that I will be in Vegas for the KBIS show in February!
Background - My 20 year old son and I are going to tackle a complete bathroom remodel in a 60 year old house. We have watched most of the videos about demolition, tub/surround install and drywall. We intend to use the Bootz NexTile tub & surround combination (very cool integrated shelf and reasonable ($509 at Home Depot) and the Ikea Hemnes 40" vanity/sink combo.
Questions:
Is there a checklist or an A to Z video that explains/shows the "sequence of events/installs" for a bathroom remodel after the demo is complete? In other words "what do I do first, second, third ... last?" Drywall before or after the floor? Complete all the plumbing at the same time or do it at the time of the individual fixture installs?
What do you suggest with the following ceiling dilemma?
We have a 60 year old ceiling that has been repainted and patched many times. There are rusty drywall screws popping through and it looks like a mess. It’s a rambler so I’ve got insulation up above. I’m going to take your advice on installing the LED lights from the Canadian supplier.
Option 1 = We are going demo down to the studs except for the ceiling because I am trying to avoid the problem of insulation mess/expense. However the ceiling is a bit of a mess with rusty screws popping through and poor previous repairs (see photo). I was planning on:
Putting in new drywall screws and removing the old rusty screws
Put on a layer of Kilz.
Skim coat to smooth out the rough spots and then paint
Option 2 = The other option is to apply Kilz and simply install new 1/4" drywall over the existing mess.
Am I on the right track for the ceiling or do you have other ideas?
Thanks - Dan & Max
I have a bathroom with a shared wall (where the tub is) that needs to go down to the studs. If I need to use fire rated board for the common wall what is the best water/mold resistant board to use? I would like to use Kerdi board but it doesn't appear to be fire rated. Your channel is the best I've found. Thank you for all the great instruction!
They make fire rated mold resistant board. You probably need to find a specialty drywall store in your area.
We absolutely love you guys. You have given us a lot of tips that are spot on. We want to become Canadians now. My husband says he will become Captain Canuck. LOL Also will you be doing a Wet bar build anytime soon. Or another kitchen rehab? You camera guy is doing an awesome job as well. Love these videos keep up the great job Max and Jeff.
Hi Gina, Thanks for making my morning! Yes we will be renovating a kitchen project early next year. This is a century home full gut with structural changes and everything. Should be a lot of fun for everyone. Cheers!
I find removing a toilet is made so much easier by using a shop vac to get all of the water out of the tank and also stick it in the bowl because it will suck all of the water out of the trap. You can then lift the toilet and no water spills.
Thank you for all your tips and tricks!! They are amazing. I appreciate it 😁
these videos are awesome. I just had a water leak from the hot water line on my fiberglass insert bath. Gave me the excuse to gut it and do the whole master bath room over. Is there going to be basically the reverse of this video? Like, the install of the bathroom floor, vapor barrier in the shower, standalone tub, toilet, etc? Thanks for all the help in advance sir.
Hi Jeff when I finish my master bath reno I want todo the guest one the. tile floor is in good condition on cement bed. considering tiling over tile ...opinion. just want to hear down walls around tub... It's cast put in new faucet.. When I get close I have to call you. Vin ... 'll call tomorrow if I can figure it out....or monday
28:00 Another way to empty the additional water in the bowl & tank (gloves, sponge & bucket)
I am a bit of a germaphobe.
Home RenoVision DIY I found That a wet dry shop vac is the best way, you literally get all the water out.
These are verry good tips and tricks like always great video 👍
Thank you very much. Cheers!
You took the mask off right when you needed it, try a dual filter mask made by 3m
This is such an informative video showing all kind of scenarios. Enjoyed it!
Thank you for your teaching, it is a great help!!!
Fantastic video and explanation. I am about to do a bathroom demo and this is just the kind of video I was hoping. I would give more thumbs up if I could. Thanks for doing this. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks for the like, and we look forward to hearing from you again soon. Cheers!
Hey Jeff, do you have a video on how to remove a tile shower floor? Thanks!
Love it Jeff keep the videos coming
