We have a clear glass shower door and 15 years later still really like it. Yes, there is soap scum and hard water spots. Yes it does have to be cleaned more often. But it is so pretty, it does make the room look larger, so the extra cleaning is worth it.
I agree!
How exciting! You will be able to slip over to your new shower instead of using the shower in your trailer. It is beautiful.
After flooring, appliances and propane is hooked up in that order, then I can take a hot shower.
Awesome way to look ahead at the clear glass door to be able to add privacy film later if you want. Looks great Andrew
Thank you for watching
Came out great Andrew. Your absolutely right about the wand. Very handy!
It's one of the few things I've liked about the camper 🤣🤣
@@TKCL lol, won't be too long now and she'll be a thing of the past! Yall will be like kids in the candy store in that new house!
No kidding!
I have the same exact showhead, I prefer my former one than the new one
Great job Andrew 🙂
Thank you
Great job on the house so far. This is my dream to be able to do what you’re doing!!! I have a solid glass door also I didn’t do anything after the installation of it. But later was talking to a guy who install them. And he said to use rain x on it once or twice a year and it will be a breeze to keep clean! Hope this helps. Keep the videos coming
Thank you for watching, rain x sounds perfect.
For a first timer - you really did a great job in explaining the whole process. Your tips on things that could be problematic are invaluable. You should do more of these types of videos.
Over 800 videos on the channel 😉, including me building our entire house. Thanks for watching
The shower is beautiful. Great job Andrew!
Thank you
Some Severe weather coming thru stay safe
Yep lightning popping now and tornado warnings keep coming over the phone and radio! 😬
Very well explained thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
You could easily become a handyman. You've done it all building this beautiful home, were I closer I hire you right now.
Thank you very much
Looks great Andrew. 👍💞
Thank you
Absolutely key to get the shower head high enough. I'm only 5'10" or so but have battles some terrible showers. Never heard of a short 5' friend saying the shower head to too high. On top of the standard being too low to start with, so many modern heads (like yours) are a heck of a lot longer than the old 1950 gym locker room sprayer.
100 percent agree
That shower door looks amazing. it will look even better once the bathroom is complete.
Thank you
Very, very nice bud!
Thanks
I found that keeping a small squeegee in the shower and using it on the door after each each helps keep the door clean.
I keep hearing that, something to try, thanks!
💖
Shower looks fantastic. I used a glass sealer product that lasted several years, but honestly RainX seems to work pretty well if used more frequently. It beats having to deal with the hard water spots we get here.
I think I'm definitely going to try rain x.
Andrew that PARTY shower is awesome I think Mr Doug and Cash will love it. Another great video Thank you!
Good install Andrew!! Your slowly getting that little stuff out of the way. 🇨🇦
A list a mile long of it! 📃😳
Hi Andrew 🙂 spectacular job on the installation. You have so many skills and the shower is beautiful.
Thank you very much
That shower is nearly identical to the one in the house we built in 2004 aside from ours having dual heads. You may have a better solution, but our clear glass shower door easily stained and we found cleaning with white vinegar was the only thing that really worked (and it was cheap)!!
We also clean with vinegar. People are saying to apply rain x to it and squeegee everytime we get don't showering.
Hi Andrew, I am so amazed at all the knowledge you know and how neat you are with your work...Everything looks great....love watching your video's along with Tiffany too...
Thank you very much
Really enjoyed the shower door install. Never watched one from start to finish. You did a great job!
Thank you for watching
Buy a squeegee and use on door after every shower. No hard water build up!
Awesome job! Europe spoiled me badly with tankless water heaters and shower wand sprayers...I would say pitiful but we are catching on!!
I have both, absolutely love tankless water heaters.
@@TKCL I hear ya! I feel sorry for folks still hangin on to water tank heaters;
they have served their purpose and are now (early 80's and before in Europe) antiquated;
seen three neighborhood failures = garage and laundry room flooding, within a month (aged, water pressure gradients, hard water, failure to drain and maintain) home owners insurance replaced them with tanks, vicious cycle
Great job. You are so talented. It looks amazing. Use a squeegee everytime you use the shower. We have used one for over 20 yes and no soap scum on our tile or glass door.
Awesome idea, thanks!
We remodeled 20 yrs ago, we enlarged our Master Bath with one glass side and glass door. We use a squeegee on our tile and glass panels and we have never had a problem with soap scum or water spots. You can get these squeegees at Wal-Mart really cheap and are worth the cost.
Thank you, that's been a popular suggestion.
Thanks for the laugh you said keep water out of the shower. You did a good job your house looks good so far
Lol I didn't even realize that 🤣
The shower looks looks great, may you use it for many decades ( years is not enough:)) But of course you had to do more for security, we all know your MO! About soap or hard water stains on the glass, there's a magical product called "plain white vinegar" :))) works wonders! I can imagine you getting impatient now to have your first shower in there!
Lol we've been using vinegar my entire life for cleaning.
@@TKCL Everyone is rediscovering granny's methods are the best:)))
I ordered some 1/4" steel from Amazon...somehow they bent the crap out of it...but you get a glass shower door delivered unbroken...I guess the delivery folks have gotten better :)
You mentioned is buildup...CLR Brilliant Bath is really good about keeping mine free of both hard water & soap scum...I just spritz it after finishing and give it a quick rinse.
Lol I was sure nervous about it making it in one piece.
Andrew I know I have said this many times but after watching you and Lumnah acres build your homes by yourself. It is amazing how much you have done yourself.
With the amount of detail you pay attention to your work. If you were to build a house for someone else with same amount of detail, what would be your rates you would charge.
I don't even know, I'd be expensive and me and the owners would have to talk up front about no rushing and no corner cutting 🤣🤣🤣
What is the gap between the shower and wall for? A pull out sliding shelf?
A pullout linen closet, I'll build it later on.
I saw the comment bout using a squeegee. We did the for a lil bit but I use the rainx spray on stuff now and it work good for about a year now. Just remember if you use this method, just respray every so often. House is looking good
Thank you!
I'm watching this now because I feel like I'm going to explode if I watch the news about what is happening to this country for one more minute. I needed something positive.
That's why I don't bring that junk into our show, too many other places to see that. Let's stay positive on this channel!
you can use Rain Guard on your glass shower door it works for me fyi
Thanks!
They have longer hoses you can put on your handheld shower thing that makes it easier for washing dogs. I bought an add on sprayer thing for mine with the intentions of washing my dog but when I got it the hose was just too short to clean his "undercarriage" so I ordered one of the longer hoses for it and it works great
Thanks, I figured they would make them.
Andrew use a squigee to clean the glass after use it take a few seconds and you will never clean your glass I promise you this been doing it for two years..a small 10 to 12 in squigee.
Thank you
Looking great! I have a quick comment which I wish I'd have thought of back when you were roughing in the plumbing. My entire family is tall, particularly my in-laws. My 6'7" father in law decided when building a new guest shower that he'd mount the shower head up nice and high (because we're all tall right?). Well an issue that showed itself quickly was when I used the shower (I'm 6'3"), the shower head was mounted so much higher than the manufacturer intended, the shower spray pattern was much wider by the time it hit my body that literally half the water wouldn't touch me. I can't imagine someone 5'8" or shorter showering in there without having to dance around just to get a few streams of water to hit them. I'm with you 100% I love the hand shower and use it extensively, so it's not a huge deal, but I wonder if you'll have a similar issue here because the shower head was mounted so high and the spray pattern is typically fixed (at least as far as how wide it will get).
I've already ran it, no issue as the pattern is nice and tight.
You forgot plumber's grease. You might want to replace that cartridge one day.
Waiting for the toilet to be installed
Keep waiting! 🤣
I was wondering why you didn't run a bead of silicone on the side rails (as you did on the bottom) before you screwed them in. That is, in addition to the bead you ran on the outside. The reason I asked is that, over time, the bead deteriorates and it leaks. Yes, I know you can redo that bead, but it's a pain to do that. We had a problem with our shower doors as a result. Also, I was glad that, when you ran the bead under the bottom rail you ran it also against the wall and not just on the straight rail. That's where we had a failure as well.
I should have, hindsight is 20/20. I did silicone both sides.
The Automotive Detailers CZcamsrs are suggesting ceramic coating shower doors for keeping them spot free or easy cleaning (Pan the Organizer, Obsessed Garage, others)
Thanks
What is that gap for between the wall and shower wall?
Wasted space, I am going to make a deep pullout linen closet on casters.
hi cover the screw heads with nail polish .
Using a squeegee after each shower works great
Thank you, great idea!
@@TKCL you're very welcome. Have learned from experience! Enjoy passing it along.
Did you put a dab of silicone on the holes you drilled in the tile before inserting your screws? I know you are a fan of over doing things as am I and that's what I would have done.
Hand sprayers are nice for cleaning showers also. I had came up with the idea to have one for the toilet so I didn't need to use a brush and cleaner as much. Could not figure out away for the longest time since toilets have a unique connection port. Finally came across a product. I don't use it for its intended purpose but it's great for cleaning the toilet. Search for diaper sprayer or bidet sprayer on amazon. Looking forward to the rolling closet build.
I didn't, but I did Silicon both sides of the shower, felt rather comfortable with that. Especially since the shower is so big.
Did you put any silicone in the screw hole before the screws
No, it's hard to see but those spaces drain to the threshold and back into the shower.
What is the space between the wall an the shower for sry if you already answered this question looks great by the way
Never mind i should of read a few more comments very nice
Hey Andrew I’m sure I missed it in a previous video but what is the gap in between the shower and the wall
I believe they are going to have a slide-out linen closet there.
That's exactly right!
I'd be highly surprised if that tempered glass would just "crack". They usually explode into 68 thousand pieces if hit the wrong way... :-)
That's what I meant, I should have said shattered.
Just a slight defense of the company with respect to the short screws supplied. These screws are intended for use with plastic anchors. Not everyone has wood studs behind their tiles - so, the short screws work for everybody. Of course, if you have wood studs, you should use longer screws, as this installer is doing.
The thought of anchoring this heavy glass door to drywall makes me cringe! 😬
Is that the Delta head in your shower? As well I hope the wood on them shower door hinges was dry. So it dont flex on you. I had the original shower head Philips I loved it even if it was cheap and broke. So when it was time to replace it I got the Delta. But I must be honest its 100% better build. But the pressure is not as good. I like it. Just the way the old one did the massage features was better.
Wood on door hinges???? That is a full Delta system, they were proud of that shower head.
@@TKCL pardon my French. The wood in the wall structure. Hope it was really dry. As mine was not. The fresh cut wood was still drying and as it did in the walls 4 times we had to adjust the door. And you are right so many glass guys are sending short screws.
Whats that weird space for between wall and shower?
Wasted space, didn't need a bigger shower. I am going to put a pullout laundry closet on casters in there
What do you do if your glass door slides down in the clamped hinge 3/4" & now you can't close your shower door?
Any way to slide the hinge down to make the hinge be flush with the top & bottom of the glass like how it originally came?
Are you saying the glass shifted in the clamped metal? Or the metal that's clamped to the glass shifted inside the other metal piece?
@@TKCL Yes, the Glass shifted in the clamped metal & is hanging 3/4" lower & the glass is now hitting the bottom metal track
Sadly you will have to remove the glass, it's held in by friction and rubber. Then pinch the metal tighter, wrap the rubber around the glass and reinstall. Be very careful to not shatter the glass, this is exactly how the magnetic catch is clamped to the glass door.
@@TKCL Thanks, yeah was messing with it again last night, trying to use a bar clamp to push it back into place, didn't work. Then my son pulled off the top metal clamp a little. Used cardboard to press down the seem between the glass & the rubber while I pulled on the metal.
Got it off, cleaned it up & used silicone inside the rubber, outside the rubber & inside the metal clamp track. Clamped it back together, ran a bead with the excess silicone. Waiting 7-14 days for it to cure properly before hanging again.
Hope it works.
i don't understand that space between the shower wall and the bathroom wall.
Wasted space, didn't need to make the shower bigger. I've talked about it a few times, I'm making a pull out linen closet in that space.
Why didn't you make shower all the way to wall. Instead of leaving that gap. Not room for much. I must have missed this in other shower videos.
We are putting in a deep pullout linen closet there. No need for a bigger shower.
Did you silicone between side rails before installing?
I asked the same thing.
No just on both sides, I probably should have.
@@TKCL Kinda what I was thinking. There’s always the chance of moisture getting past the screws and into the wall.
It's open and drains straight to the floor inside.
Why isn't the shower wall against the wall
Because that was wasted space we are going to use for a slim, but deep slid out linen closet.
Hi, Andrew! Great installation! Didn’t you tell us you plan to use the space between the wall and the shower to store towels, etc?
It's going to be a pull out linen closet on caster wheels.
@@TKCL that’s what I thought you told us. That’s a perfect spot, and you don’t have to worry with a linen closet!! I like it.
@@TKCL Getting good at scrolling through the comments section before posting a duplicate... I visualized a pullout storage and you nailed it!!! awesome!!
It’s looking pretty awesome.
I am a firm believer that having to step into the water before you get the temperature perfect is one of the most critical things that makes us strong people and I fear that doing away with that might make you soft. 😂😂 next you’ll be buying a pink foreign truck and voting for high gas prices and gun control. 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
what are you going to do with that little place to the left of the shower?
Pull out laundry closet on casters.
I feel like your house is so well insulated that you’re gonna have to crack open a window to use the bathroom fan
Already taking care of that with my HVAC installer. You can literally turn on the bathroom vent fans or the microwave fan and open the outside door, it slings open due to the vacuum. More air intake is coming!
who's got first dibs ?
Me! 🙋
Rainex
That's what we are looking to try
My guess about your move in date will not be realized. I am way off the date. Best of luck anyway.
Sorry, it's done when it's done 😁
