Thank you for Watching! Tune in next week for more videos :) - Jak na to + styl
Recently installed a new bathroom. No way I would have been able to film and make videos about the process while trying to learn and do the work. Just getting it done was a headache on its own! You made it look easy!
Yeah I hate it when brilliant people make complicated stuff look easy, such as making a christmas ornament that 3d prints smaller christmas ornaments! :D
Thanks for giving Norwegian ways of doing stuff like this! I watch so many American videos, and those are not always that easy to "translate" into how things are done in Norway since their is some differences. Tusen takk! :D
Not only that we here in the states basically *never* take this much dedication to waterproofing and sealing a framed bathroom, though I would be curious to know if everything he did (waterproofing) was code or exceeded code.
@@geoffreychadwick9229 I reckon it exceeded code. I doubt a run of the mill worker would do it up to the roof. They would probably just do the shower fully, then the rest of the bathroom to X metre etc. To save costs and reduce amount of work.
Then again, I do not know the exact codes in Norway for these stuff. But I know in Sweden, I've seen them using Linoleum matt scraps and waterproofed that way. By sealing it like a floor. Then clinkers onto that. Among other tricks to cut down costs.
@@geoffreychadwick9229 Their is very many rules on how to do things in Norway. Like the electrical you can almost not do anything your self. Like changing a ceiling light is not allowed and you need an electrician.
@@geoffreychadwick9229 As an architect can confirm meets code there slope might be lower than we use but that’s about it.
@@linnsoltwedel depends on the light/way of conecting😉
This has got to be the most waterproof room ever created!
Nope, common Norwegian toilet😂
First time seeing someone mixing and cast a floor on his socks 😋
Great work as always but what continues to amaze me with this series is the quality and precision of the camera and editing work while maintaining such an engaging and positive mood. Of course it should appear like the video magically manifests itself while you work, but in the name of all viewers thank you so much for all the hard work with the hundreds of camera angles, voice overs, talking heads and hours and hours in the editing room. 👏
Makes me happy to see proper waterproofing after watching bunch of Americans renovating bathrooms with no waterproofing in sight
Your enthusiasm is 11/10! it's so lovely to see!
Thanks for taking the time to create, edit and share :)
Criminy! If I needed a project such as this done, I would either hire a professional or just buy a one piece fiberglass "insert". So many steps, so much time and effort................not that I am adverse to work - just too impatient to get things completed. My admiration for you and your talents has risen yet again!
Good to see a proper Scandinavian style bathroom build, where one makes it a "wet-room" to stop water damage, almost only see the American bathroom style builds where there is basically no real protection except a fiberglass pan for the shower/bath.
This is so cool, you can literally hear how the sound in the room changes throughout the video...
Love the project, keep on going!!
Great Job!!! It's coming along nicely. It is very different than here in the U.S. but it's layers of protection plus I like the attention to details you took the time. A lot of hard work went into that but I think it will last a lifetime.
Honestly, this looks almost exactly like the schluter system that has gained ground in the US in the last couple of years :-)
@@LemonZ89 I was thinking that too, I watch a couple of other channels and saw them put in that system... different but similar!
Next update please! This is super interesting and addicting to watch!
"It looks too much like a Sauna"
Every Finn: kyllä ja?
The best part of doing a video of this waterproofing is that insurance companies got proof you did everything according to what is needed for the insurance to cover water damage if it ever happens.
Some people might be lucky enough to have a certified company come in and double check your work and put their name on your work, but that is super rare since they have not done the work and if stuff goes wrong they have to pay out of pocket to repair it since they insured it was done correctly.
Love following this amazing project. So exciting to see it fully waterproof at the end!
Great job mate. Learned heaps. Just did two bathrooms here in Oz …. and lets say Australians do stuff a little simpler, faster, cheaper. We rather go for looks here than quality, because we rip it all out after 20-30years. It works and dies the job, but as a German i like your way better 🙏🙌
Love getting the notifications pop up of your new vids. Gets me motivated to get little jobs done around the house that I’ve been putting off.
Hello! My dad has been watching your videos for a while and has been dying to know where you and your girlfriend got your work pants from! He’s been looking for a good brand and can’t seem to find any with the quality that you guys have.
keep up the good work!!
I did some digging for your dad :)

for other euro-style work trousers, I love these:

From what I've seen it looks like Alex is using Snickers Workwear pants and his girlfriend is using pants bought at Jula, so either Pro Workwear, Bluewear or Blåkläder
@@fredthedude2 Great, Thank you so much! my dad was very pleased when he saw this 😄
It was so satisfying seeing all the pieces fit perfectly, thanks for you sharing your work I love this project!
I love this series so much! So entertaining.
i would recommend adding reflective foil below the heaters and lifting them a bit from the ground so they are surrounded
It is so satisfying how flush and perfect everything fits he cuts and fits to the wall
I'm waiting every week for your updates. Lets go!
The waterproofing system you used is quite fascinating. I enjoyed watching the process.
👏🏽👏🏽 amazing! I’ve become quite emotionally invested in your apartment project!
Love the energy in your videos! Nice to see stuff coming together after all the demolition!
That waterproofing system is really nice
Wow! You did so much work in this video! Awesome job man
this is way more fun to watch than HGTV. And you KNOW if's done perfectly because an engineer did it. Great work again!
Only 2 minutes of this video and I'm subscribing
Really looking forward to the next video when we can finally start to see your design and creativity take shape to become a finished room.
One of the best bathroom jobs I have seen.
Wait, bathrooms are supposed to be waterproof? Next you're going to tell me they're not supposed to have carpet
Finally a new Video! Been waiting for it for ages
I love that the whole bathroom drains!
Amazing job Alex!! go on!
This episode reminds me how much I hate working with drywalls :p Verry nice work, and I definitely are going to check out that membrane system when I'm renovating our washroom/bathroom.
Pretty interesting process, Alexandre! 😃
It's going to be finished in no time!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great video! Love the progress!
The Energy you radiate is awesome 😍✌🏼
this is my favourite channel everrrrrr
Nice work man. Can‘t wait for the next vid.
Awesome work! Great to see it done in the Norwegian way!
American contractor: "Put a little caulk around it, it'll be ok." 😂 Great job!!
Awesome buddy, I'm proud of you, what an accomplishment. I cant wait to see it all finished, I like the toilet tank in the wall so you have more room. VERY COOL. Great work buddy. As someone who's been in construction here in America for most of my life, you did a great job. It's a whole lot different than what we use, buy I like it. I'm so excited to see this finished, great job and so happy for you and your girl. Congrats on everything buddy
This is the very few moments that I think a bathroom is not disgusting! Look forward for the whole apartment.
Wow, what a video. Brilliant job!
I love this series! Its so facinating how different things are done in different parts of the world. I feel like this level of waterproofing doesn't really happen here in North America.
You are so talented! I love your work.
That looks so good.
I love that all these sheet products come in sizes that are easy to handle. Most everything here is in 4'x8' sheets, which can be taxing for an individual.
You made it look WAY too easy. You are such an awesome craftsman in so many ways. Glad you are young and have that much energy. Since you were going that far waterproofing, perhaps go with an optional water-tight door that is 40 cm high so you could fill the floor with 25 cm of water for a 'mini tub' (after calculating what load it could take).
so satisfying to watch the whole video ^_^ great progress
Yes , enjoying time!!
incredible respect for you, i don't think would do the same. I really enjoy the serie! I wish you good luck for the upcoming projects.
Just one word EPIC Mr Sam 🇲🇦
Wow this looks so good! Definitely a much better job than the plumbers/joiners done in my bathroom. Can't wait to see it finished, really interested to see how you install those LED's! :D
The membrane corners go on before the wall strips. But very interesting seeing how membrane has changed over the years. Did tiling for a couple of years and stopped when they changed to membrane sheets around 10 years ago. Very good video, love your enthusiasm!
Nice job on the indoor swimming pool :p
This is crazy to see how legislation is strict, I’m currently processing complete home renovation in France and it’s crazy to see how different this is.
Thank you for all your videos
Excellent job man 👍
Great job my mate well done 👍👍👍
det blir så bra! gleder meg til å se resultatet ;D
Beautiful work!
I am not familiar with those materials but it is similar to schluter system.
Fun to see how different it is between countrys.
Love the Reno vids!
Nice to see the Norwegian way! In thenetherkands they use more watertight cements, and watertight tileglue which does the same but is less expensive and labourintensive
Awesome project
I'm glad I was able to go with Schulter's Ditra Heat for my in-floor heating. I would have lost my mind if I'd had to do the cable layout essentially freehand. The rest of the system for the bathroom looks pretty amazing, though! As always, very interesting to see how this sort of construction is done in other parts of the world!
That's the way you do it if you have to pay for things :-)
Really nice job! Keep up
Great job! Looks very tedious job. There are so many layers to be laid
GREAT JOB!!!
Nice work!
Great work 👏
interesting choice with the electrical floor heating nice alternative if you can't do water floor heating
Entertaining video as usual.
Really enjoy watching this series after just finishing the same level of restauration over a 4 year period. haha. Also same engineering, non-construction, background, trying to figure everything out as you go. Trying to put the slope in with self-levelling compound gave me flashbacks! hahaha.
Overall great job, interested what you will use for finishing? I went with Beal Mortex which is also naturally waterproof.
Is our variant of Loki? I find each project fascinating, I started by seeing how to assemble a chair. And it's amazing how far we've come. Congratulations
Love this series and how far you have come!
Do you not have to service in wall toilets? Live fill valve, floats, etc?
I'm pretty sure you can do all of that through the hole where the buttons go :)
@@achappel Exactly - they're designed for that. Most parts can be unscrewed or unclipped with one hand to make it possible. Not to say it's easy... But most things can be fixed without ripping the wall down :)
Love you man!
love this series! give me moooooaaarrr! :D
Love your content! always nice to watch your progress and new projects on the channel. I have one question tho in regards to the method used for heating the apartment: Why do you use electricity for floorheating? Isn't that super expensive in running cost? Wouldn't district heating be a better option (By the way I'm danish and therefor not an expert in the heating standards of Norway but I am curious)
I love this channel. AC is one of my favorites! AC: "hey, you want to help me pour concrete?" ME: "Sure" AC: "Ok, take off your shoes."
Hey there!
Great job i'm enjoying watching your videos!
I was wondering, what are your plans for ventilating the bathroom?
Love your videos keep going
Wow! This is so different from the way things are traditionally done here in America. Water comes out, it goes down on your neighbors below. We have similar products, but I believe there's a far less strict building code for such.
nice work!
Totally waterproof!! Love the job and jo, detta vill jag ha i mitt badrums projekt!!! :D
Being at the same stage as you, although in a completely different context, I congratulate you :D
Going to Norway/Oslo for my first time in two weeks!
Не оторваться от твоих видео) Cool !!!
I really enjoyed watching you assemble that waterproofing system. For many years, I've thought the ideal bathroom would be one that you could hose down the entire room to clean it, without having to worry about water ingress damaging anything. I'm still surprised at fragile materials like MDF that are still allowed to be installed in North American bathrooms.
Never seen anyone so enthusiastic about doing remodeling job before. LOL
One thing's for sure: after this project you can never again say "I'm new to this stuff" 😋
Question: I noticed that you put in the corner pieces at the floor joints before you put in the floor membrane, as opposed to every other corner where they went in over the membrane-clad boards. Does that mean the order doesn't matter, or is there some other calculation involved?
You are correct. The order doesn't matter as long as all the pieces overlap enough according to the manufacturer spec
@@LemonZ89 Thanks 👍
Already liked!
Wow, that was no easy task. Great job!
nice content congrats
Awesome video. Also, what is the name of device you are using for measuring humidity? Thanks.
Skandinaviskt kvalité!
Wow! 👍🏻
