    Definition of a truly Pro CZcamsr:
    1) No fancy introductions
    2) Sections the video and add links in the video description
    3) Doesn't plug products except where they're proven useful in the trade
    4) Edits audio, not just video
    5) Cram LOADS of useful info into 10 minutes so we can choose and replay as often as we need.

    I think the floor prep was great, but really, unless you are remodeling the bathroom in the House of Windsor, it is just too much. No one needs a bathroom floor that could double as the outer hull of a submarine. And let me tell you, most everyone says I go WAY too far in my own moisture barrier provisions. But please don’t take me wrong. This video shows the best work I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. As a reference, I was a safety worker for Swinerton. And cutting the grout lines with a circular saw? I have removed a lot of tile and replaced it, but the pry bar and hammer is the most practical method.

    When installing the vanity top install the facets and hot and cold lines first. Makes it so much easier then trying to get underneath to tighten the nuts that hold it in place.

    Always use a mask when removing vinyl especially in an older home.As there has been cases of asbestos being underneath.

    • @StonemanRocks
      @StonemanRocks Před rokem

      Those would be the 8” X 8” vct (vinyl composition tile) in my yrs of experience! Mostly! They are very brittle and are glued down with black adhesive! Usually in non traffic areas you can pop them up in 1 piece for the most part! Where you would get the most airborn crap flying around is if you sweep the floor during clean up! Prob not a good idea ! I would def use a respirator and a good one and use a vacum with a hepa filter and dampen the floor first before final cleanup! That will keep a lot of the dust from flying around! Its that or call in an asbestos remediation crew and pay through the nose for everything that goes with that including disposal fees! Legally here if you are doing a job for someone as a contractor and asbestos is involved, it has to be removed by one of the handfull of licensed companies certified to remove asbestos! There is a ton of masking things off (windows, doors etc) to contain it and workers are gowned up like workers in a clean room! Same with lead paint removal ! Another nightmare maybe for next halloween!

      @StonemanRocks Před 2 lety +1

      One thing i learned the hardway from being taught the complete wrong way is to put positive slope underneath your shower pans!! You gotta slope underneath whatever material you use for your pan! Its a critical error a lot of people make! Excess water will travel thru your grout and mudbed etc. finally hitting your pan and settling in the lowest point! It will stay there because it has no where else to go! Soon it starts making mold and turns acidic thereby eating through to your substrate and walls! If you dont slope your pan toward the weep holes on your drain the excess water is sure to cause major problems later on! I have torn out 50 yr old showers that would have lasted another 50 and others that were 10 yrs old that have rotted the subfloor,studs ,and floor joists! Water is a killer in wet areas! Thats why most insurance doesnt cover damage that occurs there!

      Durrock or wonderboard is fine for floors ! Its not just for walls !

Whatever you use , thinset it down on wood sub floors with a polymer modified product!

  • @h0llie_h
    @h0llie_h Před 3 lety +1

    Wonderful video! Gotta watch the rest of them before I buy a home :) Few questions for ya: does dampening the subfloor make it easier for the thin-set to adhere? Are there any mold concerns with that or does it dry out when the thin-set does? Lastly, do most thin-sets have directions to dampen the subfloor, or is this one of the tricks of the trade?

    • @StonemanRocks
      @StonemanRocks Před 2 lety +2

      Its one of the tricks! Without it, the dryness of the subfloor will suck the moisture out of the thinset before it has a chance to set! Always a good idea before bonding any type cement product! Always wet your substrate! And mold is not a concern. Just dampen not flood!
