    I much prefer a windowless bathroom, one of my neighbours opposite doesn't seem to understand that you can see through frosted windows 🤮
    Use a good extractor and you'll never miss the window!
    Plus, for those that do makeup in the bathroom, not having to worry about natural light makes it easier to get a 'consistent finish', especially good when you take your selfie 😂

      @10MinuteWorkshop  Před 4 lety +1

      My friend lived in a house with a 1.8m diameter round window. It was completely sealed and when the exhaust fan was turned on, the waste pipes would begin to gurgle if the door wasn't kept open. Needed the air flow.

    Looks really nice, I would have been concerned about the ply / drywall join cracking, given it's proximity to potential humidity and temperature changes. I don't know if you've ever used pre-curfed curved plasterboard I haven't but have been around on jobs when it's being used, seemed to work really well, but no idea if it cracked later down line.

    No waterproofing ??
    Timber flooring in a Bathroom ?
    How does this become acceptable in the UK ??
    I worked over there and as a qualified builder from Australia was horrified at the lack of codes regarding bathrooms whilst working there .
    Bathrooms in OZ must all be fully waterproofed over the entire room and up the walls on all sides in the shower .
    Tile floors over sand & cement tile bed falling to a Mandatory floor waste ( plus one in shower recess )
    prevents potential leaking from the room .
    ( still , there are issues with some installers but heavily reduced )

    In the U.S., that bathroom would have been constructed with door going directly into the bedroom, so the bedroom becomes a "master bedroom", with it's own private bath. (The downstairs bathroom would have been designated as the common bath.) Is a master bedroom with its own bathroom not popular in the U.K.?

    • @10MinuteWorkshop

      It was an option that was considered - they’re called ‘en suite’ bathrooms here - but the client decide against it as it would have involved breaking through a 100+ year old lath & plaster wall. 🤷‍♂️

    I would worry about curved plywood expansion and contraction with humidity. You can form curves using 1/4 inch dry wall if you wet it with spray.When dry put second piece on same way. You now have 1/2 inch drywall curve. Trim edges after installation. Good for archways too.

    V. nice, thanks Peter. Like everyone else here, I love the curved wall. What niggles about this job is the lower height of the new door and the new door trim that doesn't match the bedroom (at 15:54). Was that a cost issue for the client, i.e., the original doors were larger than modern pre-fab and the budget didn't accommodate a custom door?

    • @10MinuteWorkshop

      Thanks Aaron; yes, the original doors are unusually large in these old houses, and the budget was quite tight, but it was an aesthetic issue the other way around - a door that matched the original was way out of proportion for this small bathroom, so the client opted for a modern ‘regular sized’ door. 👍

      Hi Stephen. I've never used one to be honest, so have very limited knowledge and no first-hand experience, but as far as I'm aware, you'll need to have the jigs suitable for whatever you're sharpening ie chisels, plane irons, knives etc...

I did talk about regular sharpening one the flat’ when I did my ‘razor sharp’ video not so long back - czcams.com/video/hpJXwEJkgpQ/video.html - and the ‘cream’ was a a honing compound, just a regular metal polish in my case.

The electrical work needs to be done by a qualified sparky who can self test and certify, and work on gas is strictly regulated (just as an FYI - not a consideration in this job) but the plumbing can be done pretty much by anyone, though I preferred to hand all that off to someone I knew and trusted. 👍👍

      @@10MinuteWorkshop thanks for the explanation. I’m in Canada and over here you’re supposed have a permit and then several inspections before final drywall goes up, but many people just do it without one. Anything with gas needs a licensed fitter, and you always get one because you’re crazy not to. Although plumbing and electrical are supposed to be done by licensed pros some people do that part themselves. Like there, non structural changes to rooms are pretty much OK for anyone to do. Often when people here renovate older homes (ha, 60 years is old here) they find some crazy things hidden away behind older renovations, so I can only hazard a guess as to what you’ve seen in the very old houses you’ve worked on!

    Also peter I hear you talking about people asking you to do videos, would you be able to do a video on how to router out hinges on door and frame? Up until now I have done it with my hammer and chisel but have seen guys on site using a palm router and it looks effortless and they do it alot quicker than I do

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  Před 4 lety +1

      It’s not something I’ve really done as most of my work was in occupied homes, and with archiraves already on the door frames it makes routing a hinge pocket much harder. I did plenty routing into the door, though - that was just with a simple little home-made jig clamped to the door. I’ll add it to my list, see what I can come up with, OK? 👍👍

    I was a home builder for about 15 years and did a few similar bathroom conversions. Never liked going into occupied houses to work, so this brings back some memories. I was concerned about the drywall in the shower until you mentioned it was "tanked", can you describe the process for me? Another question, the gray plastic supply pipe, is it Polybutylene or what was called PB? If so, that type was a disaster here. Just curious what it was and how it worked for you? Nice Job, really like the bendy board corner, learned something new there.

    • @10MinuteWorkshop
      @10MinuteWorkshop  Před 4 lety

      Hi Barry. Back then tanking comprised of a thick rubbery paint that was either brushed on or applied with a roller; these days you typically have a membrane that’s also applied over the thick ‘paint’ and / corner profiles as well. Re the grey pipework, that was the plumbers domain, almost certainly a brand called Hep20 and yes, it seems to be PB. Can I ask what the disaster was in your neck of the woods? It’s been used here for many, many years, without incident as far as I know. Thanks! 🤷‍♂️👍

      @@10MinuteWorkshop PB pipe was going to be the next great thing. I would have to look up the dates, but it virtually supplanted copper pipe. It was so successful we lost an entire generation of plumbers who knew how to solder pipe. The first problem with PB came from the fittings. They were made of Acetal or Delrin plastic and inserted into the pipe and were sealed in place with clinch rings that look like clunky wedding bands. They use a tool that looked like bolt cutters with a circular hole in them to clinch the fittings. The plastic fittings were degraded by the chlorine in the water and they would burst. So they switched to copper fittings, but to save a few pennies they switched from copper to aluminum clinch rings. The difference in thermal expansion properties of the copper fittings and the aluminum meant the copper would expand on the hot side and stretch the aluminum and they would blow off. Eventually, the pipe itself failed under the attack of the chlorine. Giant class action suit and the manufacturers spent hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars repiping houses. Since no one knew how to solder anymore they switched to PEX. Some of that has failed because of "dezincification" of the brass fittings. I was a Home Inspector for buyers for over thirty years and this was a big deal for us. (I can describe how to make a watch if you would like to know the time. First, you mine some gold....)
      The Tank process sounds like Schlutter (sp?) which came alone later for us.

      Thanks for the detailed reply Barry. Wow, that sounds like a nightmare. As far as I’m aware there have been no such failures here - perhaps the spec is different, though what you describe sounds very similar. As I say in the video I was in the property last year and everything is holding up fine, but I’ll definitely do some more digging on the subject and check back with the plumber. Thanks!

      The Polypipe are a plastic unit with an O ring, plastic former ring and a stainless steel clamp ring. Similar, in some ways, to how a brass compression fitting works. There's no detrimental galvanic action. Water pressure is typically quite low in the UK. The connectors are quite large and sturdy. They typically have a 25 year guarantee here.

    1) That's the difference,,, you NEVER find a soils stack outdoors in my neck of the woods,,, even the trolls can unclog frozen turds.
    2) I have done more or less the same in my 1901 wooden house, except the "signature" feature was 45 degree corners (miter style).
    3) However, I suspect the bathroom build in this video took place around 1950, not 2014,,, where on earth is the waterproof seals in shower and sink area? Shock was even bigger when I saw no drain in floor (ofc I dont mean in shower). And solid oak floors? In a bathroom? You are more concerned about wallpaper cracks on the exterior than waterproofing a wet room. Are there no code standards in the UK?
    I'd never buy that house.

      The whole room was tanked - raised ground floor bathroom without it would be asking for trouble. Floor drain? Unheard of here; where would it drain to?
