    I love this bathroom remodel series!! Watching you rip out all of the old material is so satisfying to me! I have been doing a remodel of my own lately. I’ve been working on repainting my sisters room before her birthday. I stripped all of the moulding, the trim around all of the windows and doors, and the baseboards, now I am going to start painting. I always enjoy every upload from the channel!

    Can you get the squeaking out of hard wood floors or do you have to go under the hardwood??? Loving this series. 💗

    • @TheFixerHomeRepair
      @TheFixerHomeRepair  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey, Pauline! Great question... I should make a video on this one day. It really depends I guess on where the squeak is and what kind of sub floor, etc. You can always predrill holes in the hardwood and use small trim screws to tighten it up but then you will have to fill the hole and make it look nice. A screw from the bottom up could also work... Thanks for watching!

    Is it code in your area that you can't do plumbing? I'll always do plumbing, the worst that can happen is you get wet. Make a mistake with electric and you get dead.🙂

    Is there a reason you aren't using a self leveler? Seems like that could be beneficial here?? I'm enjoying this series!

    • @TheFixerHomeRepair
      @TheFixerHomeRepair  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey Nathan! I wanted to use "large format thinset". You can put it on really thick and it dries like concrete. Also adheres to wood and cement board really well. I have had issues with floor leveler in the past, either not sticking or cracking. The amount to fix this would also be very expensive! Thanks for watching!

  • @brianwood9074
    @brianwood9074 Před 3 lety

    Use self leveling concrete. Put plastic over the old wood floor and pour the self leveling concrete. then all You have to do is tile over that. your floor will be prefect.

    You could staple chicken wire down and float the floor with thinset type mix I would need to look it up mapei product. It would be thin enough to lay the tile and ypu could level it out with thinset

    3/4 ... 5/8 ... it would be so much easier in centimeters and such :)
    But I understand why this isn't gonna happen. Just look at "3 feet". That a pretty single digit. In metric it would be 91,44 cm. 3,3" too short for a "pretty 1 meter single digit".
    You're used to 3 feet and we're used to 1 meter. Different in length but exactly the same for each others point of view.
