My husband always carried the larger life insurance policy while I carried just enough to cover expenses and time off, but he hasn't worked in a year. Your sponsor break actually reminded me that I am actually the person that should have a larger policy. (At least term). So, perfect timing?
He's not currently working because I harassed him for 3 years to quit and just take a mental break for a while. (High stress tech/security field)
The floor of the shower is THE WORST tile mismatch I have EVER SEEN....
That floor tile pattern mishap would drive my ocd every day I had to step in therr
Are you just talking about the corner tile on the wall?
Omg I just saw the pattern of the floor tile. It’s driving me insane!
Went to the comments to see if anyone else noticed lol
same@@Ronnocbot
The tile is a mess the fixtures are ugly I'm mean brass... is this an old lady house... this whole bathroom is an ugly mess
homie is a D1 all pro hater, def going frist round In the hater draft of 2024@@rockstarfan886
Man, some of these comments are rude af. This bathroom looks 20x better than the bathrooms of the folks shouting "OMG the floor tile is messed up, derp!" .... Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Yeah his comment sections are typically filled with experts in X fields.
this is a great lesson in the obvious, which is to do your plumbing before drywall
Not only should you be siliconing around the pan, but I believe you should be siliconing all of the vertical corners and against the ceiling. Basically anywhere there can be movement between different planes.
Looks great!!
Few pointers for next time… ruffing all your plumbing before drywall. Also placing your shower mixer on the window wall towards the niche side, this makes sure you can turn shower on without getting wet.
Love your work from down under Australia 🇦🇺
Did that in my bathroom - mixer on side wall - not under shower. This also helps if someone needs to be showered by a carer. From AU.
Love that idea - I'm going to remember it when I redo my own bathroom one day
Besides the floor tile mishap, I would suggest a one piece marble threshold. Much cleaner look and no grout lines!
This!!! On the niche, window sill & curb!!!
don't forget the shower tile NOT MATCHING ANMYTHING IN THE BATHROOM..... AND EVERY ROOM IN THE HOUSE NOT BEING MATCHED TO ANYTHING ELSE!!!! There is a different look to every room, there is NO PLAN to the look of this place......
Now that doesn't take away from the quality of the work, everything I've seen him do is done REALLY WELL, he knows what he's doing for sure..... but that's why design, engineering, and construction are 3 different professions .... Mind you I couldn't do any of the three, but I could wire the house up with computers, networking, security, sound, an AI in each room :D
The only thing differently I would have to suggest after seeing the layout of the shower is putting the shower valve on the wall right when you enter into the shower. Turning on that shower to let it warm up is going to be rough.
Nice build 👍but that screwed up floor pattern hurts my soul. Got some of the sheets backwards and it threw of the pattern of the black tiles. Also, probably should have cut all the tiles for the top of the curb so that the seam ran down the center. Those thin edge tiles are going to be prone to breaking off. Plus it just would've looked nicer and the shower glass would've lined up with and covered most of the seam.
yeah, it ruins the entire look :(
The pattern being off messes with my brain. It looks so bad. I don’t like it in general though. Throws off the modern vibe of the bathroom with a very dated floor style
good from far, far from good
And shift the tiles a bit on the curb so it matches the floor tile.
Yeah my OCD got triggered 🤣
"Oh great, my shower is drunk" Whole series has been worth it for that.
This abandoned house is looking so nice now! You're doing really great work.
If you’re only going to have one bathroom…make it stunning. Great job
I would say that niche rhymes with quiche
Before deciding what size niche you want, you should measure the tallest soap and shampoo bottles in the store. I’m worried that that one won’t hold a normal size shampoo bottle.
We have the exact same shower head kit from Amazon but in oil rubbed bronze. Works great aside from the valve being threaded fittings. Really wish they would make one for pex or sweat fittings. It took me 3 attempts to stop mine from seeping.
You didn't do a cost breakdown. Its the cherry on top of all your builds.
I would have put a shower tub combo hard for resale for families with small kids....but it does look great!!!!!
Taking out bathtubs is another trend that needs to die.
YEP.
You made the same mistake I did when I replaced my shower head. The shower hose is backwards which is why it's not sitting in the wall mount right. Love the content though, thank you for the video.
Great job but I would have to do the floor again. I couldn’t cope with it not being right
The shower hose is installed the wrong way around. You had it correct the first time (hex nut on the base and rounded side on the hose attachment) so the rounded side can slide into the tapered rounded slot base
bruh this is better than that home channel on TV.
Those lines where the tile meets the floor tile, would drive me nuts cos they dont align...... But...... it does look 100 x better!
Looks awesome man! Looking forward to the next part of the house.
Wow that’s beautiful. Love the shower floor tile, it really pops
Do you silicone between the glass and tile to avoid water cracking through?
That bathroom is gorgeous. You did a fabulous job on it.
Beautiful and awesome work!
You just blew my mind with the teflon tape trick and drill bit…. 😮 seriously I stay ridding the struggle bus with teflon tape and small areas.. this “hack” just changed my life.. 😅
Absolutely gorgeous.
Looks beautiful!
Looks amazing, great craftsmanship bro!
Looks awesome. Well done!
Wow what a difference. Great job.
Wow I’m surprised how many people have something to say here. I think it looks great and the tiles honestly wouldn’t bother me. Perfection is a disease that wastes a ton of time and I think non perfect things have more character. Thanks for the vid!!
I agree with you 100%, imperfection is perfect as it gives character but as always there are Plenty of keyboard warriors who can always do it better.
If you’re paying a lot of money for a brand new house then the incorrect layout should bother you,further more these are how to videos and he’s doing it the wrong way,not the best really 🤷🏼♂️
I hope to be your contractor some day. 😆
Great Bathroom Reno
Oh dang, that looks awesome!! I'm currently playing around with epoxies to see if I can waterproof stained wood! I have some...Insane ideas for my master bathroom!
Every time I think I have seen your best work you go and prove me wrong....Keep up the the hard work, love your videos.
Awesome work man, looks fantastic!!
Looks real good!!!
Great job! I've been patiently waiting for this video! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the house. You truly inspire me!!!
Without the pocket door there could have been a double vanity, especially since its the only bathroom in the house and storage is limited. Could add some shelving above the toilet to fill the space on that wall a bit.
That is beautiful, thanks for sharing mate I absolutely love your content and what you do keep it up man.
Looks awesome!
Awesome job!
Beautiful!!
I love it! Why did I want the completely utility only toilet pipe to be brass? lol
Real talk bro, planning is paramount and will save a lot of rework. But I'm still here and love this channel.👍
Great stuff 👍🏾
Looks amazing! I couldn’t tell at the end if you caulked the glass or not, definitely recommend getting some clear silicone on the top, bottom, and tile side wall! Tape off right at the bevel and boom! Should help dampen future rattling too!! Love the work!
You're getting close to finishing up the home, I cannot wait for this whole house to be finished up!
Slowly coming together. Appreciate you man for this series!
Very nice, hard work pays off. I will give you one recommendation when handling panels or glass. Invest in a couple suction cups. Yes hand palming it can work but cups are much more reliable and easier to handle heavy panels or glass
Amazing job👍
Good Job Big Bro!!! 💯
The bathroom is beautiful
I love your work.
Floor tiles are off but it is what it is. Overall great transformation. But how are you suppose to turn the shower on without getting blasted by cold water?🧐
Ya gotta be fast😂
It looks so good 😊
Next time tho My other half is a tiler and I would recommend next time with the silicon to get a spay bottle with some dish soap and water and spay the silicone as you wipe it and instead of your finger use a popsicle stick keeps it all the same as you change pressure when you use your finger 😊
Beautiful
Great job dude!
Dude never fails to amaze me
So... we're just not going to talk about the mold in the insulation when installing the niche?
"Nitch" God bless America!
Hello, great job. For the waterproofing, think of the water way to place your pieces
Good job....but if you want it to look super classy...ditch those metal edges and do proper edge mitres on your tiles. Not easy if you don't have the right equipment but SO much classier.
Awesome!
My 4 year old is very concerned with how someone would take a bath there while my 18 month old dances to the music. I'm just glad that I can watch a video that everyone seems to enjoy lol.
🤩 STUNNING
Extremely well done for a DIY project, a few quirks here and there but the finished result is awesome!
Where's the link to that shower head and wand at?
Using the floor tile as an accent would've really helped to define the shower, but I'm just glad the niche was done with it! Great job!
just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do something. It's a recipe for disaster. Always best to have counter measures for your counter measures. It may seem overkill, but its better than having to come back in 5 years to a completely rotted out wall. Waterproofing is so important.
I wish I had this talent
Didn't check with the wife - You're a BOLD man!! 😳😅It came out looking great. I'm sure she'll come around!
29:38 Really nice, but the floor pattern being off would drive me nuts.
What you need to do now is..take your right hand and give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it because it looks amazing 👍
For everyone watching the video, always do the behind-the-scenes stuff before putting on the finished material like drywall or Durock. Get your rough in valves installed. I understand he does the steps that he does because of filming, but it’s all in the wrong order. It creates more work, money spent, and time wasted. I would consider building your own niche. We built two custom ones at our house to fit our tile design, and we’re so happy with it. Plus, you can build a nice big one if you want.
Looks great! Fantastic transformation. The only thing I would have tried to match the floor tile grout line with the shower curb grout line. That 1" difference draws your eye right to it.
awesome
I once saw a dude put shims down in the window sill, then placed a thin piece across the whole sill and water proofed it to get ready for tile. I thought that was a genius way to ensure a good slope away from the window frame 💡
Lookin good! With that amount of space though, you could have put a double shower!
Please provide the amazon link for the shower head, thank you!!
Tips for your Teflon, you place on the piece in the same way you’re going to screw it (usually clockwise) but you should unroll the tape in the opposite direction from (counterclockwise I think) what your were doing, it’ll prevent the tape from forever unrolling and you having to turn the piece in your hand to get rid of the extra length unrolling. Also, regular Teflon tape, 7 to 8 turns are usually plenty and you could add a bit of Teflon paste. The tape fill the screws lines and paste help lubricate and turn easier and fill whatever gap could still be left.
The bathroom looks great, but I think it is overkill for such a small house. You should have made it the master only and made a second full bath in the basement, maybe a powder room on the main floor if you could find the space. It would have been nice if such a large shower had been made more accessible with a less deep pan.
For a single bathroom home, did you consider installing a tub?
Sweet mustache!!
Good job Alex but I did see some mistakes- it happens and it’s often too late to change after everything is dry and done
I’m surprised that you didn’t show any video of your trip to Utah. It had to be great fun in the dunes and rock crawling. Maybe next video? You did great BTW. Thanks!
What material do you use for your exterior window/door trim? The black trim
Nice public swimming pool shower...why are these joints so wide between the tiles?
Pretty sure you applied the membrane in the wrong order. Should always overlap in the opposite direction that water wil flow (i.e. walls overlaping corner/edge folded tape overlaping the floor system). By installing the edge/corners after the walls, you've created a situation where water can run down and behind it into the wall.
every kerdi installation I've seen has the corner banding put on over the base membrane sheets. if this were a rubber/concrete board installation, indeed, you would want it shingled.
paint the glass bracket white , they look horrible black , or put brass trim o them
How do you actually achieve that slope in the niche? Do you put extra thinset towards the back or do you have to slope the 2 by 4 when you frame the room?
Amazing job! I'm confused though. There's no second glass piece to enclose yourself in the shower? Or it's just permanently open on the left hand side?
Usually tile the back wall first, then the sides. So the vertical corner grout lines are in the same plane when looking from the outside in
It really does not matter
Almost pretty nice, but so much Subway tiles whithout a breaking Line in darker tiles give me a Feeling of beeing in a slouterhouse. Greetings from Germany ❤
I got thumbnail baited hoping to see but eh dope video regardless. I learn lots
Next time do the shower pan and curdy band first, then your walls. That way you are shingling the water barrier. The way it is now, if enough moisture got behind the tile, it has a risk (slight) of water flowing behind the banding and corners and between your precut pan and floor. Otherwise, cool stuff, easy to use.
You should read the manufactures recommendations. Your thoughts would make sense if the design is to shed water, however it’s meant to hold water. Isn’t an issue how he did it.
i would look into if there are drain extensions and just tile the same tiles over those tiles. would be quick
this guy knows what he is doing with his thumbnails
Nice job… where is the shelf in the niche you showed us? It would help in there.
