For those of us doing these jobs once or twice in a lifetime, I would suggest finishing off tightening screws with a good old fashioned hand screwdriver, you have more of a feel for when a screw is tight! Nice one Jeff.
I was installing a new wax seal on my toilet the other day and sure enough one of the bolts went right down the drain. And they’re made of copper I believe so my magnetic retriever wouldn’t work to get it. Had to buy a whole new wax seal as apparently no one sells just the hardware.
I've been watching your content for years now and im about to add a bathroom in a huge empty space in my primary room. Ive come across these "vanity" glass shower door set ups that are upwards of 800-1k and im glad you pointed to sticking to basics - ty for all of your content!!!
Beautiful job. Just lovely and perfect as always. It was educational going through the laser level/plumb checks/anchor/door/tightening screws process to hear and see how the components needed to be aligned, and how to check the work along the way.
First of all... Thank you so much for all your videos. I just finished remodeling 2 bathrooms and everything I learned was from your channel. From the entire remodel, the only issue I have so far is leak past the shower door. I can't find a way to stop leaks at the door hinge. I have tried everything from varying door sweeps to caulking a thick bead near the hinge... Nothing seems to work. Any thoughts?
@The TacomaKid Robertsons are his favorite and hex (star) screws are good also. He likes Robertson because they will latch onto a screw driver without you holding onto them. Both Hex and Robertson are good because they won't cam out (spin out) of the track when you apply lots of torque and little pressure
I've always found, I'm sure you have as well, drains are magnets for screws or anything else dropped in a tub. I always throw a rag down over the drain for the inevitable dropping of the screw. Like your work, I do remodeling myself. Cheers!
I guess what I'm referring to is the dreaded open drain with the screen that is just big enough to let whatever ur going to drop (and it always drops) into the drain. I've also found it useful grouting. I usually use a drop cloth when I set tile. I can be a bit messy...
Question: My garden tub has a 6 to 7 inch tall lip that goes around the sides and back of the tub that have a rounded profile on the top and at the tub, and there is like a 1/4 ledge on the top of the lip sticking out past the tile wall. So any wall track or gasket when set flush with the tub does not flush with tile wall about a 1/4 inch. What would you recommend running from the top of the tub lip up the tile wall to act as a spacer to give a solid filler so the track is flush with the tub and the tile for a sealed plum fit?
How effective is a partial enclosure like that? I assumed the entire length of the tub/shower would have glass, but the back quarter or so is left open. Maybe that is a design preference but I think I'd rather have glass all the way back.
This might be a dumb question.. but what about the area at the end you crawled outta the tub part.. what goes on that part.. the shower is still opened??
Jeff this is one of the most enjoyable bathroom series videos you've done. Nust in mu opinion. I think I'm so drawn to this one because eit was tiled over tile. Soooo cool!! Until then next one, God bless and Dirty Jersey out!!!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY And thank you so much, for always responding (and to pretty much everyone). Mad Respect, because I couldn't even imagine the time you have to invest into reaching back out to everyone. Cheers back to Canada!!!
Great video. I wanted to replace the sliding door for a hinged type to open up the access. When the 1000mm wide door arrived with 8mm glass it weighed 34kg and I can't get it up the stairs. If I could I'm not sure the drywall would support the weight 🙁
Does your wife enjoy the petrol jelly? LOL! Especially inside the shower! Haha! you said it, not me! Love your videos. You have a great way of speaking to the camera and making me feel like I'm learning in person!
If considering a glass shower, make sure you aren't very sensitive to sound. Many can become amplifiers and make a disabled person have a terrible time. Also, make sure they know how much maintenance they require, especially with hard water :) Great install
Nice video Jeff. I envy your green laser. Every job I try to see my red laser line on redgard I wish I had one. Then forget to buy it before the next job. All Viewers!!! Get you a few of these Milwaukee permanent markers. They're great. They even write when the surface is a little damp. Jeff, if you haven't tried the Dewalt core bits for porcelain I'd highly recommend them. Amazon has them in many sizes and they're not too expensive.
hello, thank you for your super helpful videos! one question, at 3:30 you mention "structured silicone" for those of us w/o wood, do you have a product link or picture by chance?
Could this be installed in a fiberglass tub and shower? I’m doing a reno now to get our townhouse ready to sell. I’d love to take out the fiberglass and tile the showers but I don’t think the time and money it would take would make for a good ROI. I hate shower curtains too. Thanks for any advice. Subscribed!
Jeff I wonder if there is a problem with using porcelain tile in the shower/bath instead of ceramic. I know that it's easier to drill through but is that the only reason you use ceramic in that situation?
I think porcelain is more ideal for showers/vertical surfaces because its more durable than ceramic and the tile sizes are more exact/have less variation, but either is quite good these days.
this door is designed to deflect water into the tub. In most cases you don't need a full glass wall to do this. Just pay a little attention to what you are doing. for $120 bucks it is a great deal.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY yes I agree 120 you can't beat that but when I shower the far side is always soaked. Great video though. You help me a lot being a brand new renovator
Paul d I hadn’t seen the open ended shower until we stayed at a high end place last year and since then I have seen it 4 more times at different hotels. For the most part the water stays in the shower, but I think it’s a bad idea with a shower head that comes off and is handheld, especially if kids shower use the shower.
Hey Jeff, when you drill the holes for the trim/tack are you not concerned that you are perforating your kerdi wrap in behind the tile (I watched the first reno on Max's mom's bathroom; I think that's what you used)?
Big fan, Can you do a video on stain vs whitewash wood paneling? Being old school to modern light! I want my basement wood paneling to have a white and grey feel with the grain still showing. Which is better why. Thanks!
Can you help me understand what to look for in a frameless shower door installed by a "professional"? A u channel was used and I'm not sure if it's right.
Hey I love the videos!! I have a crappy Glassdoor system that wasn’t installed properly. The marble slab they mounted it to is pitched wrong I get water all over the shower. Can I reuse the existing holes to mount my new door system? I assume use bigger screws?
Hi, love your channel. I don’t think I have a wood stud behind where I need to drill for the braket. It seems to be quite heavy which makes me nervous about putting it up. Are there special screws (expanding raw plugs?) that I can use do u think? Would be great if I could get a response ASAP. Thanks and keep up the good work.💪
I’m very interested in that video as well. I’m curious about how one would go about positioning the new shower drain when the original tub drain is embedded in the foundation.
You drill to get to the wood, so that your screws have something to grab. If you drill all the way into the wood your screws can't hold onto anything, hence making them useless.
The wall in which the ends of the doors would sit in my bathroom are tile 3/4 of the way up the wall, and then just drywall. How do I secure it against the wall in that situatio? Seems I'd have a little gap for the top 1/4 of the wall.
I have a question about my shower door magnet. I bought a handle kit with a striker plate on the handle and a magnet with no way to mount it to the frame. I don't see a manufacturer label on the door, so I don't know where I can get a mounting plate for it. Any suggestions?
This video came in time. I have the same project to perform next week. I was wondering if I needed a laser level for this project and some tile work. I was surprised to learn I can purchase a perfectly fine one for under $80. I am not a pro so I use better tools to reduce the impact of a lower skill level. I also know what to do if there is no stud.
If you can’t screw into any type of solid backing behind the tile or enclosure you can use wall anchors. Always silicone behind or under your metal, squirt some silicone in your holes as well
there is no last third. that is the point . It is a small water deflection system that allows any homeowner an affordable option to get rid of the shower curtain.
i have a shower screen install but the tiler did not make sure my walls were straight, the bottom is out by 32mm on the door side and 45mm on the wall side, the screen is 1,7m long x 1.0m wide and 2.0m high, the wheel chair access is at the 1.0m end, the shower screen is L shaped, how do i make it fit as the shower screen was ordered and made to size at the floor measurement, and it cost $2000, and it can not be cut back, well not by me anyways, will it need to go back to the manufacturer to be resized. The wall at the base is correct size but the walls slope in up to the roof. if i pack the bottom the screen will sit out past the floor tiles, and the tiler will not come back and add extra tiles so the screen will fit . I guess im stuffed .

Sir, my name is Phillip Danquah a plumber from Ghana 🇬🇭 and I love videos so much. Infact I learn a lot from your videos.
this guys channel is the best. literally every single DIY i search he pops up
I would suggest reminding people to be sure to close the tub drain so if a screw falls in it will not go down.
great point.
I was going to say that too.
I was installing a new wax seal on my toilet the other day and sure enough one of the bolts went right down the drain. And they’re made of copper I believe so my magnetic retriever wouldn’t work to get it. Had to buy a whole new wax seal as apparently no one sells just the hardware.
@@Taylormade2350 They sell the bolts separately from the seal in my neck of the woods. I use them for other uses also.
I don’t find the link to the doors ! Can you help ?
For the bag of lubricant, you can cut off a corner on the bottom and use the bag like a piping bag to direct the flow more easily.

Home RenoVision DIY videos are just like blackboards. They’re remarkable! #cheers #gary
LOL, And I thought you were going to make a reference to my voice sounding like nails scrapped across the board. cheers!
Another very informative video. Especially the way you stressed taking your time and not over tightening things.
Thanks Larry, Cheers!
I always look forward to your videos. You’ve helped me with my basement finishing and my bathroom. Keep them coming and keep up the good work!
Me too! I like the way he presents himself. Doesn't make me feel so dumb when it comes to things I've not done before.
Thank you Geoffrey! Always a pleasure to help folks out. Cheers!
When I'm thinking about a project I love watching your videos. Your videos are very informative and you keep it simple. Great to listen to also.
Thank you! You make it look so easy! I'm installing one here soon. This helps so much! Love your videos.

Thank you Sarah, just trying to help make life a little easier and perhaps more enjoyable.
I love you Jeff Thorman~! You make everything seem so easy!
I think this is the most nervous I been watching you install something Haha I kept saying please don't break the glass 😂 Cheers!
LOl, You are not the only one! I have only broken 1 piece in my career. Thankfully not on camera! Cheers!

The grin when the screw drops into the tub and he says, "love philips screws" hahahaha. Me too Jeff, me too

Darin Hill truth. I always push down the plug just in case.
I simply close the drain. Cheers!
I guess what I'm referring to is the dreaded open drain with the screen that is just big enough to let whatever ur going to drop (and it always drops) into the drain. I've also found it useful grouting. I usually use a drop cloth when I set tile. I can be a bit messy...
I totally get it. Cheers!

Glass door with a lip that juts out? I have a non standard smaller tub with a ledge. Could not find a video on this topic

What last third?
there is no last third. that is the point . It is a small water deflection system that allows any homeowner an affordable option to get rid of the shower curtain.
Seems like water would splash out of the last third. There are shower doors that go all the way ?
On a tub you really only need 2/3. The water doesn’t go that far. We install single panels all day long that only cover 2/3.
