Install shower tile and grout. Install floor tile and tile baseboard. Plumbing. Redo plumbing and install a new shower and sink faucet.
    I filmed this the only way i could ... as someone who has never done it before. We made mistakes as we went along but overall it turned out great. We are very happy with the result and saved a lot of money doing it by ourselves.

    I respect your work ethic and motivation. I am not a rookie at this type off work. Furthermore, I have repaired work done by Jack Legs like the people that have negatively criticized your job. It is obvious within their posts that they are clueless. When a person tears someone down without offering helpful advice that is an indicator of a high level of stupidity. Thanks for sharing your project. Ignore the idiots!

    • @karlatkins5280
      @karlatkins5280 Před 3 lety

      @@seasonneverstop1878 no not until you start messing with the plumbing or wiring. If you replace the valve which I would suggest you do since you got it all open and it is really easy to replace. When I do mine I am going to replace my copper pipes with pex and put a valve on each line so in the future I can shut the water off to the tub and still have water going to sink and toilet.

    One tip, don’t use silicone caulk for the cement board joints, silicone is only for final use on mostly inside corners, drywall mesh joint tape with thin set mortar is best. The silicone doesn’t allow a bond between the area applied and the tile mortar creating weak spots later on.

    I would recommend to anyone when remodeling or demo use a mask or respirator because depending on when the house was built their could be asbestos. The heavy stuff behind the tile its green board also line the the tub w industrial plastic or garbage bags

    @RustyCas999 Před 5 lety +3

    I’ve redone a 60’s bomb shelter tile shower for one daughter, and just helped redo one for another. It’s a lot of work - my hat’s off to you. I too am self-taught, here’s a few things I’ve learned. Get a drywall T-square for cutting your backer board - easier, faster layout (no string-line needed), and much easier to make that first score. I don’t like to cut or grind hardibacker because of all the dust, but for straight cuts with a 4”+ off-cuts you can just score it deeply, and snap it. I use a couple of fairly large C-clamps as “handles” to get leverage on the off-cut, and break it off in 18-24” lengths. For long thin off-cuts, use a circ saw and a cheap thin-rim carbide framing blade to create less dust than a grinder or tile/masonry blade.
    When you open up the walls, add 2x4’s as needed to allow you to screw the backer no less than 1” from the edge. Depending on what’s used behind the old tile, there might not be any blocking for the new backer. The bath we just did had a “foam” backer, glued to the original drywall (yes, from the 1960’s), which came down easily, but we had no blocking. Older tubs usually have the upper edge “rolled up” to shed water. You have to get the backer to the top edge of this, or your board - and tile eventually - will kick out along the edge of the tub, and likely break the backer when you screw it down tight.
    I agree it’s best not to caulk the interior joints (you force thinset into the joint when applying the fiber tape), but I caulked all the perimeter and corner joints. Pay special attention to the tub joint. I cleaned the tub edge with alcohol before caulking. You want to slightly overcaulk and then run the joint with a finger to actually ‘make’ the seal.
    I would not use Redguard for just a surround. Water will only get behind your backer at the edges and corners and a good caulk and grout job (and sealing) will be sufficient. No need to worry about your screw heads as they’ll be covered (and sealed) by the thinset.
    For making your plumbing holes, a cheap “step” drill bit from HF works well - I keep my holes as small as possible to make it easier to seal around the plumbing (the easiest and most likely place for water to get behind the wall). The step bit lets me start small, and work my way up as needed (hole size depends mostly on how accurately you measure and mark the centers).

It is very refreshing being a older individual trying to remodel ( have never ever remodeled anything but I am determined) a mobile home, as much for sentimental reasons and to live in. I appreciate the detail you put into everything! Especially the tools ! Its nice to see what to expect after opening up a wall or a floor. Or for that matter working with the electrical components in the wall. PS Big sorry to my neighbors ahead of time. Just kidding and seriously Thank you !

    As I'm watching you take down first board, I'm like....dude, wear some gloves. The tile glaze is razor sharp & will definitely cut ya if not careful. I'd have to say that most ppl who do this the first time, will learn this lesson, if not in the biz. Wearing gloves is a must to protect those hands. Glad didn't need stitches.

    You made few mentions of the cement board you were removing and the metal mesh behind the cement board. This tile system, used from the 30's until the early 60's did not use a cement board. The expanded steel lath was nailed directly to the studs, followed by 2 brown coats (rough coats) of mortar and finished with a smooth finish coat before applying the Thinset and tile. It was a very heavy, labor intensive and highly skilled installation. Although these old bathrooms are outdated, you will rarely find a cracked or separated tile anywhere.

    • @NFL1976
      @NFL1976 Před 3 lety

      Excellent point. I have two 50 year-old bathrooms with outdated tiles. The tiles are still like new, not one chip. Grout is still in decent shape. I had an old inspector who knew the original builder, and he said he was a real craftsman. I've decide to keep the tiles up- just too much labor and expense involved. Hoping to restain the 8ft long vanity, doors, and drawers, replace drawer slides, new counter top, toilet, wall paper, flooring and bbhw heating.

    I have a 1962 bath with that same glorious green tile! One thing to think about when taking the walls down in big chunks like that, when they come down they can hit one of the handles or copper pipes. I got lucky and it was just a close call - but in the next bath, I removed all the handles, shut off the water and bled the lines dry, and propped up a few 2x4s to use kinda like a slide because I didn't have any help. Was WAY easier. Hope that helps someone :)

    Just one thing, I would put plywood 1/4" on the walls around the bathtub first and you can use silicone on it, to plug the gaps, then put on special water proof plasterboard (Gyprock), the advantage is if you have to drill and install a rack, sower doors etc. you have a good base.

  • @MAGAMAN
    @MAGAMAN Před rokem +1

    Use heavy duty leather gloves. Tile is razor sharp when it breaks and can cut you down to the bone really easily.
    Edit: Thanks for proving my point. :)

    Dave,
    Why didn't you install a moisture barrier (aquabar or black tar paper) between the backer board and the wood framing. You need one to prevent mold or mildew to start growing in the wall cavity because water will get through the grout and behind the tile. Now the backer board is wet and so are the studs with no way to dry.

    • @King-2077
      @King-2077 Před 2 lety

      He put a red guard lmao. The red guard will make the backboard waterproof and so no water will ever get to the past the backerboard.

      Nope, just the wire mesh, mortar and tile. And yes it didn't leak. But the mortar was pretty thick, like 1" if i had to guess.

    Just learned that from another DIY, get gloves. Love to beable to pull whole panel out, not happening yet.

    • @TheJhtlag
      @TheJhtlag Před 5 lety

      Someone just liked me, I checked back and here's an update, at first I was chipping away at single tiles, but finally got whole panels to move, basically got a vertical hinge going. Weighed one piece, it was 60# and another one was larger than that, so be wary of how heavy the combined cement board and tiles weigh, that is be ready for when it breaks free and not in an awkward position to lower it to the floor. Anyway, demo done, the steel tub fit neatly into my Maxda CX5 to take to the dump.f 350# of demo to the dump, cost me about $13.50 in tipping fees. (but 350# for just the tile and backer from the shower! Even more really) I did buy gloves before I started the tile demo.

    • @DaveWirth
      @DaveWirth  Před rokem

      Not sure about asbestos. I would check the age of your house and when asbestos was outlawed.
      I was doing mostly interior walls - no insulation.
      And it's not super complicated, but takes time to learn the first time.

    • @DaveWirth
      @DaveWirth  Před 4 lety

      It depends. If you are ripping out tile where there are electrical wires, they ya probably. If you are plumbing new faucets or shower fixtures, then ya probably. There's the circuit breaker and main shut-off somewhere (in a house it's usually in the basement). But there's also usually a water valve for the shower in a wall somewhere or underneath a sink.

    • @brettg5784
      @brettg5784 Před 6 lety

      Karla Carranza - RedGard replaces the poly. Lacticrete 9235 is a better product and eliminates the need for silicone caulk in joints and permits you to grout over them instead for a more uniform look. RedGard or Lacticrete may be used in lieu of poly, not with it. Both are better than poly, imo.

    • @mitchcroft8728
      @mitchcroft8728 Před 6 lety

      That shower will leak like a sieve. You should apply a membrane to the entire shower floor and walls not just the joints and screw heads

  • @jc51373
    @jc51373 Před rokem

    That silicone will absolutely fail. Give you alot of credit for being curious and taking this on yourself. Biggest fail point in a shower tub is the corners and the joint where wallboard meets the tub. Keep and eye on those. Cement board sucks to work with foam board is the way to go these days.
