    Definition of a truly Pro RUclipsr:
    1) No fancy introductions
    2) Sections the video and add links in the video description
    3) Doesn't plug products except where they're proven useful in the trade
    4) Edits audio, not just video
    5) Cram LOADS of useful info into 10 minutes so we can choose and replay as often as we need.
    Props to you guys.

    I think the floor prep was great, but really, unless you are remodeling the bathroom in the House of Windsor, it is just too much. No one needs a bathroom floor that could double as the outer hull of a submarine. And let me tell you, most everyone says I go WAY too far in my own moisture barrier provisions. But please don’t take me wrong. This video shows the best work I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. As a reference, I was a safety worker for Swinerton. And cutting the grout lines with a circular saw? I have removed a lot of tile and replaced it, but the pry bar and hammer is the most practical method.

      One thing i learned the hardway from being taught the complete wrong way is to put positive slope underneath your shower pans!! You gotta slope underneath whatever material you use for your pan! Its a critical error a lot of people make! Excess water will travel thru your grout and mudbed etc. finally hitting your pan and settling in the lowest point! It will stay there because it has no where else to go! Soon it starts making mold and turns acidic thereby eating through to your substrate and walls! If you dont slope your pan toward the weep holes on your drain the excess water is sure to cause major problems later on! I have torn out 50 yr old showers that would have lasted another 50 and others that were 10 yrs old that have rotted the subfloor,studs ,and floor joists! Water is a killer in wet areas! Thats why most insurance doesnt cover damage that occurs there!

    Some how to videos sped up like this can be too fast to comprehend and certain steps in the process are not well explained, but this video may be quick but not just visually can we see clearly what to do in each step but the instructor speaks clearly on what to do in each successive step and the sound volume is excellent, good job on this short video!!.... for anybody who worries they can't absorb or remember all the steps, just check your RUclips archives or library to view your history of videos you've visited in the past.

      Durrock or wonderboard is fine for floors ! Its not just for walls ! Hardibacker works for either but i hate putting fasteners through that crap , its easier to pilot hole it but the time spent blows that up! I stay away from hardibacker altogether personally! Whatever you use , thinset it down on wood sub floors with a polymer modified product!

    @h0llie_h 3 года назад +1

    Wonderful video! Gotta watch the rest of them before I buy a home :) Few questions for ya: does dampening the subfloor make it easier for the thin-set to adhere? Are there any mold concerns with that or does it dry out when the thin-set does? Lastly, do most thin-sets have directions to dampen the subfloor, or is this one of the tricks of the trade?

    • @StonemanRocks
      @StonemanRocks 3 года назад +2

      Its one of the tricks! Without it, the dryness of the subfloor will suck the moisture out of the thinset before it has a chance to set! Always a good idea before bonding any type cement product! Always wet your substrate! And mold is not a concern. Just dampen not flood!

    Amazing tips guys! I was looking for information on how to properly make the connection between drywall ceiling and kerdi board on the shower area and between an inside corner where drywall will meet a cement board (tile wall) outside shower area. Any feedback would be amazing! Love this channel!!

    • @HomeRepairTutor
      @HomeRepairTutor  4 года назад +2

      normally we don’t treat or waterproof the ceiling to KERDI-BOARD connection but you could flash it with KERDI-BAND if the ceiling is lower than 8 ft. At the drywall to cement board transition outside the shower you could use alkali resistant mesh and thin-set if it’s close to the tile, eg 3” or less. Then you could skim it with joint compound 👍🏼
