I know it might be a hassle, but the longer you make these videos the better 👍
Thanks! Not a hassle, I just didn’t think people would want to watch for too long
Agreed! I would have loved more details regarding the drain and water supply work. Great work!
I totally agree
For my curbless shower water test, I rolled out "plumber's putty" to make a dam. Held an inch of water and rolled up easily the next day.
I’m definitely gonna be trying this thank you!
Super clean. Guys like you and Sebastian don’t exist much in the field. You guys actually make me wish I lived in Canada.
Thanks so much! Greatly appreciate that!
I think you are right about the flood test. It's probably not worth the risk of damaging the water proofing. When you use a high quality system like Schluter brand and follow their exact instructions like you have, it's gonna be fully water proof 100% of the time. Again, so many little details that are so well thought out and done to perfection. That drywall work must have been so much work and I hope people can really appreciate how much work that is. Once again, you get a "like" for this amazing content and Happy New Years to you and your family!
My thoughts exactly! Thanks for your kind words as always, I know Sebastian will appreciate the drywall recognition haha
Happy new years!
One thing to consider is that schluter does not recommend using a product like redgaurd over their Kerdi products as it is known to cause issues@@WorkinwithWolkon
@@WorkinwithWolkon Thats exactly what I do on all my shower installs. I use ardex 8+9 waterproof membrane, but I think laticretes hydroban is probably better, just a lot more expensive. Ardex is a really cheap ($100) insurance policy considering all the Schluter failures I've seen have been caused by water wicking behind the tape at the pan edges and corners. Never seen a wall leak. Schluter is awesome, their install method just leaves something to be desired when it comes to standing water.
@WorkinwithWolkon Very nice job indeed. May I ask that you provide more detail about the type of mud that you described for the ceiling? You used, green and yellow type that I am not familiar with. Take care and keep the videos coming.
@WorkinwithWolkon Appreciate your skill a lot. Can you please tell me what was the voltage needed for the floor heating system in this project? 110 or 220 V?
A truly incredible job. The more I look at these, the more I want to get a property I could start to do the same, your vids constantly inspire me. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much! I started this channel to hopefully inspire people so it’s always great to hear it’s working!
I couldn't believe how helpful this video was! It breaks down every part of the renovation process into manageable chunks, with clear demonstrations and practical tips that anyone can follow.
fantastic work! so well rounded. ive been doing tile work myself for about 3 years and i see a lot of methods i use due to experience. glad to see those found/used by such great craftsmen.
I absolutely
LOVE these videos. Don’t ever stop !!!!
Thank you so much I really appreciate it
Yay! Another video so soon - demo included! They fly by so fast. Thank you for all the hard work doing remodel and video! I agree with more in depth info. videos.
Lovely work as always !
Happy New Year 🎉
Thank you! Happy new year!
Top notch once again. Happy New Year Liam and Sebastian, and to your families.
Amazing work! Watched it all.
Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Liam and Sebastian!! I love to see new things. All of the client's choices were so nice. I wasn't sure at first when I heard pocket door, but it came out so well.
Thanks Kelly much appreciated as always! Hope you had a good holiday season as well!
looks beautiful !!!!
I love your videos. Thank you!
High quality work!
hey man love your videos. your videos made me motivated to renovate my own bathroom and having 0 experience with plumbing, electrical etc, with ur videos helped so much that now i can install basic electrical or plumbing fixings!
Awesome I’m really happy to hear that! Thank you so much for the kind words
Excellent job
Another top notch banger!!! Here's my 2 cents on flood testing a curbless shower (keeping in mind I'm only a jackass from South Jersey with ZERO comparable skill level) why drill approx 8= holes into your substrate to have to patch them back up to test how much water a zero clearance curbless shower pan can hold without leaking... We ALLLLLLLL see the preparation you guys take for waterproofing so it's a waste of time in my opinion. With that being said, still waiting for a ceiling mounted tub spout, Blessings for 2024 & of course Dirty Jersey out!!!!
Love your work the quality of the craftsmanship is outstanding.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic work as always!
Thank you so much!
Amazing
Starting the year off right!
Absolutely! Thanks!
Love your work man, happy new year
Thanks! Happy new year!
I need this!
I love these videos so much. They are so relaxing
Glad you like them thank you!
Looks good. You’re getting better man.
Really clean work. The fine details are really what make it beautiful. I noticed that the old bathroom had no door! That would make sense then the dedicated water closet. But it's not needed with the new pocket door. Absolutely love pocket doors. They make a smaller space seem so much bigger. More houses really should employ them.
Big fan of pocket doors myself but only good ones. Bad pocket doors suck and gives them a bad name
Thank you so much!
Amazing work as always ❤
Thank you!
Excellent job as always.
Thank you!
I'm gonna keep watching your videos and I might redo our bathroom in a few years. This seems like something I can do, I might just hire someone to do the tiling though.
Such clean work. I wish you were in my area....
great job!
Awesome quality work - wish we had you near by. 😊
As always nice work!
Thank you!!
You are amazing and so talented!!! May God continue to bless your business 💜🙏🏾
Thank you so much!
Amazing work
Thanks!
Awesome job brother! Happy new year 🎉
Thank you happy new year!
I don’t dislike anything that you do in this videos, is more like I am amazed
great job as usual
Thanks again!
Nice work
Great work like always brother!
Thanks as always!
Very pretty. Great job.
Thank you!!
Beautiful 😍
Do you know how hard it is to find contractors that do this type of work in the U.S.? This feels like teasing. Awesome work you two.
Thank you so much for these videos! I don't have the patience to do this myself, so when I do get a house I will be reaching out to professionals!
No problem and thank you!
i love this guy
I love you too
Love your videos! Wish I could hire you for my two bathroom renovations.
Thank you so much!
very nice
This is nice! I think that tub and shower is about the same size as ours, so this might be doable for my bathroom.
I just refinished my main bathroom. I reinforced the Kerdi Membrane lines with RedGuard for peace of mind.,,
WOW!!!
People want you in the US because what you do is way above what US has to offer. Love your videos!
Hahaha that’s not true the contractor world is just a messy one. Thank you!
Hey man these videos are the reason I’m gonna be confident in renovating a bathroom haha
I’m go glad we could help in some way! Best of luck!
Nice job
Thanks!
This guy doesn’t miss👌🏾
Haha thanks!
You’re really skillful man, I live in Florida, and when I show people ur videos, I get a kick 😂 when I tell them u won’t come to the states. They just end up settling for the next best thing around🤷🏾♂️
I hate the colors they chose, but the execution is flawless
I think these super sterile bathrooms that are trendy lately are going to look very dated in 15-20 years.
Thank you!
@@plasmac915-20 years is absolutely fine for an interior design. It’d be worth to say if it was 5 years down the line but that bathroom will be there until your newborn goes to college then
Been binge watching your content the last couple weeks. Really like your format and your craftsmanship.
I've been watching them a while now and you can really see how they've evolved in their design and building techniques. It's nice to see companies like theirs learn and grow their craft.
@@plasmac9 Yes! I saw one of the first videos he uploaded where he did the remodel for his mom. Bathroom remodeling is no joke, there are so many different skill sets needed to make it perfect, plus detailed planning.
Thank you so much!
@plasmac9 we try to improve with every single job. Sebastian and I are both constantly looking at other content online and experimenting with new products and techniques. It blows my mind that some people are so resistant to trying new things
@@WorkinwithWolkon I’ll certainly be incorporating many of your tips in my upcoming projects…a small tip from me to you is to apply adhesive backed carpet shield when you demo a mirror…it holds it together even if the mirror completely shatters…Best of luck with your future plans and look forward to more content.
Nice Ubiquiti wall antenna in the bedroom.
Awesome work. Can you please go in details in plumbing work next time
Amazing work and great video as usual! Can you point me in the direction of the demo video you call out in the very beginning? Thanks
wow another impeccable execution, your skill and precision is top notch. The colours this home owner chose are not what I would go with, a bit too hospital-room style, though each to their own tastes.
Thank you so much!
Hi, you do an amazing job renovating bathroom. Could you educate me on how you learned and developed the skills to be able to work independently on projects like this ?
I was considering removing my water closet in the master, its a 5x6.5ft space for just a toilet...then add the additional inches taken up by the walls I really think the bathroom is better without it. This project came out great.
Thank you! Yes they do eat up a lot of floor space
Awesome work. I really want this tub/shower set up when I do my main bathroom reno but I'm afraid I don't have the space. Could you share the length of the wall the shower and tub sit on?
A really nice, professional job. However I've never understood why home owners would choose to put a freestanding bath against a wall. It makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible to clean behind it when dust, hair, soap scum and water eventually build up in those hard to reach areas. Also, the base sections against the walls are not able to be sealed with silicone, so water ingress under the tub would take a long time to dry and possibly cause issues with mould or mildew.
Hey! I have a question on some of your renos. I'm in the middle of my own bathroom reno, doing it myself. I had to raise my subfloor 1 and 1/4 inches. What do you do for a transition from the bedroom to the bathroom in this instance. I would like a marble transition if possible but anything really that doesn't look tacky.
I seen your video on how to do pot lights. I need to know how you power your Mirrors in the bathroom And your floor heating
Neat!
I love your work ❤please come in texas
Is there a reason why you can’t hire anyone locally? Hiring someone from Canada is going to be a lot more expensive.
Great job Liam and Sebastian. Wow! I am sure the homeowners will be pleased. Happy New Year to you both and your families.
Thank you! Happy new year to you as well
@@WorkinwithWolkon I believe it is going to be an amazing one! Thank you.
I envy you guys who live in timber framed house countries as to how easy it is to do these kind of renovations. Im in the UK and my house is over 200 years old and is made from stone and brick. In fact the only timber we have are our floor and roof joists so a job like this would be a huge undertaking. Having said this I do really enjoy watching your bathroom remodels. The only change I would have made is to have the bath at a slight angle from the wall as I really hate how furniture always seems to be pushed to the edges of a room.
I love the wall color! Can you tell me what it is? Great job!!
Nice vid
Thanks!
I think you should do a video. Showing us the products you us. Like Really go into detail. Like what it is and where can we order it from and if we a DIY what tools should we have if we doing a bathroom remodeling
Wish you guys were in my area :( amazing jobs as always
Thank you! Just move, hahaha
@@WorkinwithWolkon I love Toronto!! I would if I could.
Beautiful work! Was kinda sad in the end when you said you weren’t going to come to the US 😂
Great channel, just in the middle of a DYI bathroom reno and you've given me lots of inspiration. Where do you get the mirrors you use?
Thank you glad to have been of some help! Our clients provide the mirrors, I put the model of these in the description
Great work as always! Thanks for putting these videos together. Would you mind sharing where you purchase your Laticrete products in the GTA? I'm hoping to find a closer supplier, as the site doesn't list many dealers near me.
good job, one thing I would have done differently is I would have waited to run the wire in the heat mat until right before I did the floor tile because it's very easy to damage the wire but other than that very good job
But but you’re only a 5 hour drive from me here in Michigan 🤣😂
That’s ok, I just have to to it myself as always. Great job guys.
Hi Liam! Great work as always! Fellow general contractor in Toronto and York Region here and your videos really inspire me! Keep up the good work!
May I ask where you get your schluter glass profile from? I'm getting them from Schluter with a $125 shipping fee.
May I ask what your considerations were to use the glass profile on the wall on the shower control side wall, but on the glass panel the shower door is hinged on, I see a glass bracket on the floor? Is that an extra bracket on top of the schluter profile or did you opt not to use the schluter profile on the panel the door is hinged on? Thank you and happy new year!
Hey there thank you so much! I get most of my schluter products from floorbox an online distributor. Make an account with them and you can get products significantly cheaper (I get 30% off at this point)
The only deco profile for glass in this project is the one by the pocket door. The reason we used this here was because we wanted the shower pan to be 48” wide (exactly 2 tiles long) because of this the niche wall is also 2 tile long. So in order to have something for the glass to adhere to we were able to use a profile which allowed us to get our 48” pan and 48” wall without having to do any sliver cuts.
Hopefully this makes sense, let me know if you need any clarification
Thank you! I did open an account with them! recorded a 80 sec video of both my face and the screen on loom and will send you the link. Appreciate the time and looking forward to hearing back! @@WorkinwithWolkon
dmed you on ins
With all the curbless, you ever try the rapid recess system for beam subfloors?
Do you test the heated floor before tiling? My concern would it being defective and only finding out once the bathroom is complete.
The heated floor is tested upon opening the box, after installation, after tile installation, and after grouting. You can also purchase a device that hooks up to the cable and will alarm you if any damage occurs during the renovation process
Liam, is Whitby in your area of scope? Love your work and videos!
Finding out if someone wants the privacy of a water closet should be a first date question.
I an new subscriber very nice work. Would you ever install vinyl plank flooring over tile?
Yes I’m actually a fan of vinyl plank myself. Waterproof, resilient, easy install, not as cold as porcelain. However when it comes to high end projects like these ones I do think that the look of porcelain is superior and vinyl would detract from it.
I see where you are coming from regarding the water leak test. I hope there is sufficient space between the tub and wall for the homeowner(s) to get behind so they can clean and dust behind the tub. Is it possible to do a video on glass wall installation in the future?
Yes we’re gonna get that done at some point, just gotta coordinate with my glass guys
@@WorkinwithWolkonSweet! I look forward to it. When y'all knocked down the wall between the bathroom and bedroom, I was excited as I thought I'd get to see a homeowner(s) who has the same desire as I do, to have an open bathroom and bedroom concept. Maybe one day I'll see a video of that remodel!
nice
Thanks
Your videos are awesome! I only wish you'd go a bit slower like showing the bit where the exhaust fan was installed in more detail... I believe you used tuck tape around the jagged drywall cut-out... then installed the flush-mount vent frame...?
Technically, he doesn't even need to put tape around the edges but he just goes the extra mile as usual to make everything neat and tidy. He put some blocking at the top above the dry wall so he can screw the white vent frame to the ceiling and keep it sturdy. And then he finishes it off with mudding after and then paint over it. I hope this helps, cheers! :)
I’m gonna come out with an A-Z series hopefully early this year showing in detail every step of the process. It’s quite difficult fitting all of the small details into a video like this one but with a series of videos I should be able to better explain each step
There will be a video on the flush mount cover included in that
@@WorkinwithWolkon That would be incredible. Thank you!
Additionally, I wasn't trying to imply that what you are undertaking is simple... Both construction and shooting/editing videos take a tremendous amount of work and effort. I was more over putting out a wish list...? Your videos are great... I'm just inexperienced...
Also (while I am at it...), should you ever have the chance/desire to document your processes in a condo setting, or a space with steel studs/concrete floors/ceiling, I am certain you'd trend here on RUclips. There's such a gap for content of this nature.
do you happen to know what the brand + name of the paint was on the walls in the bathroom?
Have you considered single fall wet room shower trays? Saves all that farting about with envelope cuts and looks cleaner too.
Looks great! I was looking for the long version…missed it was a question. Long version would be nice for us DIYers trying to get up the nerve to try this. I would break it up into 10-15 minute segments so you can monetize it more if it works that way.
Thank you! I got an extended demo video coming out next week. I will be doing a full in depth series on bathroom renovations within the next few months
I've noticed that, in a number of your projects, the bathtub often leaves a large, irregular gap between the walls and what not, making it inaccessible (hard) for cleaning. Why is that and how do you maintain a clean bathroom? Thanks.
Amazing! Do you work in Fl?
Is there a reason why you can’t hire anyone locally? Hiring someone from Canada will be a lot more expensive.
I would have loved if you explained why you ended your shower tile the way you did on the floor by the tub, looks like you did a small piece by the tub fixture and then continued with a full piece. It looks great still but wondering why you did that smaller piece instead of just continuing with a full piece?
*Tiles going down around the 17min mark*
NVM i watched again and see its a continuation of the pan tile but it needed to be cut at the edge of the pan for the slop 👍. great work and great video.
Great job and how come they wanted pocket doors
Pocket door enlarge spaces by eliminating any swing clearance
Why didn't you lay the electric UFH under the shower area?! Surely this is one of the main areas you definitely need it!
Just my opinion, but it seems easy enough to just repair/refinish the waterproofing where the temporary curb was. I think you have the right idea for peace of mind.
Yea but that defeats the purpose of the initial test. If you pull up the waterproofing you were testing AND then have to replace it after the test, then you’re initial test isn’t accurate. So you’d technically have to retest. It’s sort of a paradox.
Exactly as Sal commented. It’s not redoing it that I have a problem with (doesn’t take much time to do) but it just makes the test feel pointless as you’ve now got new untested waterproofing going in
Understandable but my point is that there's no perfect way. Either you go without water testing it all and hope for the best or you water test it with a temporary curb and maybe have a repair to do. I understand either way, but at least with a temporary curb, you know that the waterproofing is good at least up to the point of the curb, and the plumbing is good as well. Waterproofing a flat spot where the curb used to be, really doesn't need a test, in my opinion, especially since you know how to properly apply it.
You mentioned adding a receptacle underneath the vanity...for what purpose?
It’s apart of a built in plug in one of the drawers, this way small appliances like electric toothbrushes or beard trimmers can be kept off of the countertop
What’s the tile size used in this Reno?
