My 10 year old daughter compared you to Bob Ross because your so calm, positive and encouraging! (She's been watching with us for researching our bathroom redo). Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
A 10-year old that knows who Bob Ross is in this day and age... Now that is encouraging to know that kids are getting good role models and appreciate art.
@@hyperflexharrington5 Fortunately, Bob Ross has been immortalized on the internet. Everyone knows who he is at this point, even if they were born after he died
I'm a pipe fitter in Ky and I love all your video's! I love all the tile ones! I've Learned sooooooo much!
I'm a new homeowner and this channel is gold! Thank you so very much Jeff - I'm very grateful.
Getting ready to change my tub to a walk in shower. I have always done copper, but going with the pex system this time. Great info!
Jeff your channel is great! Im 23 and bought my first home which is a fixxer upper. Your videos have saved, and are going to save me thousands! My father is a retired contractor of 30 years so he is a big help, but he doesnt touch plumbing! Lol. You have made my life so much easier. Detailed and easy to follow instructions. Hope to see you on HGTV one day!
I have been a Contractor for what feels like 100 years. I have watched DIY shows and videos for ever and this is the best and most complete instructional video I have ever seen. Trade secret: those of us that are plumbers and electricians are prima donnas. We don't like to share everything so that people keep hiring us. Congratulations! You are the man! Great Job
Agree with Neil!! You are the Bob Ross of DIY!. Thanks for the relaxing approach!
I had one of those installed when I was living in Egypt 🇪🇬. I loved it.
Thanks for supporting our channel by using our Amazon link amzn.to/2ySCGMO. If you can't find plumbing fixtures you are looking for then please visit any Fergusons or Wolseley or other plumbing wholesale suppliers. Avoid the box stores at all cost . they do not sell pex ready plumbing as yet! Cheers!
Hi Jeff, thank you for sharing.
Keep up the good work.
Greetings from France 🇫🇷.
Remodeling an old house which I was born in. Your videos really inspire me. Thanks great videos.
Very Helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to explain each step. I am about to renovate my bath and this is all I need to get the job done. Thanks again.
As a professional red seal plumber and contrary to some things ive seen on your other videos you did a good job on the plumbing by actually soldering and using crimp adapters. Thats the best way for homeowners and contractors to do it. Have you seen the pex by copper stub outs for sinks and toilets? They work great for a tub spout if you wanna save soldering in the wall and want a quick and easy way to mount a slip fit tub spout. Used one in my friends cabin and it worked great
I’ve been in the trades for 36 years, I am always impressed with your videos, keep up the good work
He's no Mike Holmes but his videos are great!
Love it thank you so much. I am a sixty five year old woman. Your video made a lot of the anxiety out of adding a new bath in my daughter's basement
These videos are a life saver...I am finishing my basement and have been huge help!!!
Thanks so very much ! I don’t know if I’m going to try to do it myself but explanations and everything is really helpful.
Jeff, all of your videos and your knowledge is top notch! You are one of the reasons I have saved so much money in labor on my house flips. I am 25 and continue to advance my skills in every trade. I appreciate all of your tips and experience. Thank you sir!
Glad to share my experience. Cheers!
Jeff, these videos are great, keep up the good work. Thank you for down to earth explanations and long format.
plumbing a valve can't be taught in 5 minutes, that is for sure. cheers!
I could watch these videos all day!
Great instructional video. Thank you for being direct and to the point.
Another great video, I really look forward each one. I agree that PEX is awesome to replace copper, I've used it for several of our rental remodels. So much easier and more flexible to install in older properties where you don't have the advantage of perfect access. I've also found your videos on drywall to be very helpful. Thanks for doing these.
Cheers brian, glad to help!
Absolutely love the Copper to Pex idea. I would have never known how to do this without your videos.
glad to help!
Thanks so calm , I can follow every step . Shows pride in his profession,
Love it. We did our kids bathroom in 16. Our shower fixture is also riobel. We made the right choice.
Awesome channel!!!! I have watched "This old house" and other HGTV shows and your channel is on par and better than most.
Wow. Thank you for step by step tutorial. Love this site
Thank you Sheila, glad to help! Cheers|!
I'm a newbie to your channel and goodness sakes am I ever glad I found your site. I have learned so much and am still learning. This was a great tutorial. Thank you so much for your hard work and the time you spend creating these lessons. I watched your lesson on drywall and I was amazed watching you work as you tried to complete the install in 5 hours. The weather let you down but to me I would have bought your round of golf ... because you sure deserved it!😀✌
great and clear explanations, I can certainly use your teaching. Thanks a lot
I’m so glad to have found your channel! 😊
Thank you. Cheers Christina!
I just paused this to comment. I have a good deal of DIY experience, and usually, I research the crap out of things before I do them. I am disappointed that RUclips didn't start sooner and also that you hadn't come into view until recently.
I like your approach and since I am not at it everyday you best me on ideas and ways to do things lol.
But really thanks man, I know your job is hard enough and long enough without talking to the camera all the time. We really appreciate your efforts and keep it up! I really like the combination vids like shower instal methods. It is really good to have all things in one.
What I would recommend is grouping together similar issues. Like Bsmt waterproofing, flooring, exterior finishes, driveways etc. You give good content and I think people would like to know the good better best as you present it. Oh I loved the sound proofing too.
Thanks GTA we are always working on making better content. cheers!
Super informative video delivered in a truly professional way. Kudos to you!
Ready to do my bathroom and you have given me the confidence of trying yo go diy. That and the 10k quote a contractor gave me.
Great channel! Got me super motivated. Your videos are thorough and common "sensical".
Where can I purchase the Riobel kit you installed in this video? Its exactly what I would need in my bathroom. Also, which parts not included in the kit would I need? I would only need a two way system.
best to talk to the counter sales guy at your local fergusons or wolseley plumbing outlet. Cheers!
Awesome job. Was wondering if you have links for the products you used, most importantly the complete riobel kit your used. Also the waterproofing as well.
Thank you Jeff. You just saved me thousands of dollars. God bless you.
Excellent work! Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers!
Another request for the name/model of that shower head system... my wife will love it. Learning and re-learning so much with these vids... thanks!
Great video with lots of tips. My favorite is how to make sure you're not cross treading the treads.
That trick will save you a lifetime of aggravation. Cheers!
You are amazing! Best tutorial video out there!!! You need your own HGTV show!
Great fan of your work, and your no-nonsense approach to construction methodologies. Thank you.
Thank you and Cheers!
Fantastic. If only every installation was that simple
If you know the end form the beginning it usually is. Cheers!
What is the end was not formed properly?
Addicted to these vids. Don’t feel confident to do any of this myself though!! 😂
This stuff looks way easy to install. Love the vid!
You sir are a professional,,Very nice explanation,,It is appreciated!
I wish HGTV would hire you to do a show.. you've got the personality and know-how that would be kick butt!....My Wife and I just bought our first house and its a fixer upper! You are the BEST! Thanks so mush for taking the time to explain everything! Keep up the good work!
No Thanks, then |i would be a talking head like every other actor on there. Cheers!
Keep it sexy buddy! I like your videos - they actually show how to do the projects start to end without glossing over steps or having things magically work out - you keep it real and mention things that may go wrong and how it avoid or correct them. Plus you're a fellow Canadian so that makes you awesome AND I know I can definitely get the products you use here in Ontario. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks Bob glad to be helpful. Cheers!
I like that style of tub/shower valve. Great installation.
loving the 3 way!Cheers!
A couple of pointers first I am a plumber and I do not recommend the copper compression system they have a greater chance of failure. For some reason the copper over time seems to lose its compression. It's rare but I have seen it. I dont know if it's because copper is a soft metal etc or how its installed. I've had to open up a few walls to find it leaking. I normally cut the copper ring and replace it with a stainless viega style compression. The stainless ring seems to works better. I really prefer uponor system but that's another thing entirely. Secondly I would of siliconed around the tube spout nipple, screws for the wand, wand water supply and even the shower spout. Especially the tub spout nipple for some reason I have found water follow the spout back and leak into the wall. Again it's rare but when I install it I dont want to chance a call back. Really good work I enjoyed the video.
Jeff, why is it that, every time I watch one of your videos, I always feel like I've known you all my life, and we've barbecued, fished, and drank beer together on numerous occasions?
Have you ever been to Fairbanks, AK?
Not yet, but sounds like my kind of fun. Cheers!
Where do you buy that shower kit or the 3 way diverter / mixer?
Gosh your videos are so well done for us DIY and as you stated a lot of videos are made to scare us DIY folks into calling a contractor who over charges and at that even if they even bother to show up...thanks so much!
Hi there! I recently came across your channel while searching plumbing videos, it was the one with you and your son replacing a water heater. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge! As my Journeyman says, plumbing IS sexy and there's no shame in saying that 😊
Matt Risinger did a 14,000 PSI test on how much pressure it would take to bust a fitting off.
fitting never came off the pipe failed first.
I need to see that.
@@ImTrans-Former Go ahead and test it...done exactly the same and pipes went boom but not the fittings
“Ask your comments in the questions below “ LOL
45:07
my tongue got in the way of my brain.
My wife caught that. LMBO
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY It happens... at 0:02 you almost sound like you're drunk! haha
Awesome as always Jeff! Planning on adding this to my to do list for my small bathroom renovation.
Cheers Oscar!
Love all your videos! So instructional and a pleasure to watch you work! As I keep doing this kind of work, your videos help a lot! Didn't know about this tub spout pipe with unlimited variability!
Always something new to learn. Cheers!
Literally looking for this exact same setup. Can you tell me where to find? Love the channel.
Yeah, me too. He said roibel pro, but can't seem to find the set. I want to do full oex setup
Great video. I gotta tell you, I got a good laugh outta hearing you thump your melon on the shower head pipe when you mentioned a viewer saying you shouldn't say the word "SEXY." LMAO. Seriously though, loved the video
Good video Jeff. Very informative .I forwarded this video and some of your other pex and shower videos to my brother-in-law. He wants two remodel his bathroom by himself. I told him good for you..... if you get in trouble call me.
I have used a couple different brands of tub spouts and trim kits from Europe. The trim plate has a backing with a gasket like yours. But the tub spout also had a silicone gasket and o-ring as well.
When I use a regular plastic or metal threading in the tub spout I lay a thick bead of clear silicone caulk on the inside just a 1/16 inside the back rim of the spout. Let it dry until the next, day, maybe two. Then i use clear silicone caulk and run a bead of caulk onto the caulk outside shoulder that I had put in the day before. I embed a large o-ring sized to fit into the new caulk, tighten up the spout and then I have a water tight seal. I’ve done this dozens of times and have yet to have water get behind the spout and leak into the wall. It takes a bit of planning and your need the correct size o-ring but it works pretty good. Hope my explanation was not too confusing!
Ron
Invaluable tips and info as usual. Thanks for these videos!
Thanks Helder. cheers!
"...won't ever fail"
Famous last words
Go easy on your boy. He seems like he's got his act together for the most part.
Its more like higher expectations since his son is...well, *his* son.
When you are seen a proffesional worldwide and people say you know what you are doing, its puts alot more expectations on your kids if they decide to join you.
Jeff also has more expirience than his son who is younger and has his dad to teach him so he can afford to make more mistakes. He sounds like a really good man and father but maybe he does expect more from his son than he probably should (as do many others honestly).
Excellent and very thorough install video. Your original PEX shower video inspired me to do my own basement bathroom.
glad to help inspire. Cheers!
Very informative and detailed. Good camera placement which not all presenters do.
Why didn't you just take off the copper tube to the shower when you had the drywall off?
Jeff you really know how to lay some pipe! Please note out of respect for your one sensitive viewer I did not characterize your pipe laying as sexy.
Great video!
LOL< not sure what to say to that but thanks for the laugh!
Enjoyed the video and I learned quite a bit more from it. Keep those videos coming.
Hey I watched you tile that restroom on another video. Am doing new plumbing and tilting a walk in shower haven't done this work like in 10 years so am a little rusty but found your video and it all came back to me.
Don't know about your valve but the ones I've installed require copper on the tub spout because the pex fittings are just a bit smaller than 1/2'' required and so the water comes out the shower at the same time as the tub. I learned this the hard way. Check the manufacture specifications.
Hi Don, this valve has a positive stop position for the tub and does not need a mechanical diverter so that problem does not exist.. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY what is the model of the shower fixture set you used? I love the look and install simplicity. Ant help would be great. Awesome channel by the way.
When I first read the title to the video I didn’t have my glasses on and I thought it said The Ultimate Sex Power. 😆😝🤣😂😆😝 I thought OMGosh Jeff!!!!
depending on how much you love the shower it could be correct as well. Cheers!
XD
I was about to comment this lol. But then the Ultimate Sex Shower
I did remodels for a few years, but whenever I take on a new project in my house, which is 100 years old, so there's a lot to do, I check to see if you have done a video on it, extremely helpful.
Awesome video (and channel) as I'm getting ready to start this type of project in the New Year. Thanks for all the info on the channel, it's all I watch now! Better than any show on TV, lol
As Austin Powers might say "Yeah, Pexy Baby..Yeah"
Oh Behave!
Haha
Hey I've seen you in that tub too many times. Lol.
I love my mirolin tubs. Cheers!
im proud of that trim too! amazing!
Thats great! Made to look easy and I'm going to try it, Thanks!
Thanks for the videos helped me a ton many times but I’m concerned about your breathing seems shallow and unnatural might want to see a doc just Incase! Us diyers need ya around lol
no worries, getting a cardio workout and feeling better.
That's a sexy looking shower! LOL
SEXY!!!!!
You are the most rounded general builder on RUclips. Great vid as always. Cheers
Thanks, we try to be practical. Cheers!
Great job Sir! You do great work, and offe r great instructions
Sexy,sexy,sexy!
Loving it! Cheers!
Sexy, Sexy, Sexy 💃
There, I'll say it!👊
Have been watching your videos and have successfully plumbed an addon basement bathroom and replumbed quite a few other lines in my home. Really appreciate your great videos. Many thanks! Next I learn drywall!!
Thanks Eric, glad to help. I trust you will enjoy the drywall series we have. cheers!
Wow!! Incredible!! You make this look so easy. Thanks for the video!!!
Cheers Billy!
Great teaching job. Appreciate your videos.
This guy cracks me up haha, what a legend
Great video thanks. This is exactly what I will be doing to mine in a few weeks.
Thank you for these vedios, you are very helpful.
Hi Jeff! Great video, I learned a lot and LOVED the marble tile look.
Glad you liked it Ari!
I really love working with pex, definitely made plumbing less "scary" for the diy'er
Excellent video.... Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏻👍🏻😀
Cheers!
I just inherited a house that needs some major renovations. Your site is my go to for all the tips and tricks of the trade. Thanks for the insight, knowledge and humor. Love the channel!! Well done!
Great Presentation , Keeping it real!
Great Video, very well explained and demonstrated! Thanks!
Love your videos! Thanks for all the content. Question is, if you did not have a tub, could you use the tub spout for a second shower head on a slide bar instead of capping it off?
Thanks for all you do for us in your videos! You are our family’s go to for all DIY projects.
What are your thoughts on shark bite fittings behind a tiled shower wall? We changed the shower fittings during our shower remodel, and we used shark bite fittings. This was before I saw this video. Would you recommend redoing it so we don’t have a hidden shark bite connectors?
Thanks for your time and expertise!
Jeff...first, a million thanks for sharing your vast knowledge in a comprehensive and clear manner. A true master teacher.
Do you have a link to the system you installed for purchase?
Thats a good installation, i typically use uponor for my installations just for personal preference but nice job
Nice work, I've been installed one of those before
Love the video, great info. Will this system work with a 1/2 fold out shower door or will there be too much splashing?
