* * * Doug, You do such good work.. You're a perfect husband and father and a wonderful example to your young viewers of what it looks like for a man to take care of his family fully. :))
Well said. CZcams is informative on an entire gambit of information. Plus Doug said enough for me he is a great guy it seems truly God bless
Amen. 😊
💯👍👍 Agree
Amen!
👍🏼👍🏼
Don't sell yourself short, Doug. I've watched you plumb 3 different homes now over the years, and you're more than qualified. It's always turned out amazing. You're as good as any plumber I've seen on here.
I appreciate that :)
I agree!
This is reminding me of the old red and white trailer redo. Thats when I found your channel. ❤
Me as well. 🔥🤟⛪👨👩👧👦🇺🇸🐊 From Florida
In my future dream house I’m going to go with the Joe Jenkins toilet- a 5 gallon bucket in a beautiful wood cabinet and space for the cover material. Good composting heap in the backyard, no plumbing problems from the toilet, ever.
I always learn from you Doug! You are correct about some products not being engineered correctly!
I've seen a lot of floor mounted toilets that are wobbly because the residents don't sit on the toilet, they kind of lean back and fall on the toilet; it doesn't take very long before the attachments break and WALA wobbly toilet. I've never run into a wobbly wall mounted toilet (usually medical settings) so I'm guessing they can withstand some heavy-duty wear and tear. As a senior citizen I'd appreciate the easier cleaning aspect.
Don't let the negative Nellies get you down, I've learned over a lifetime of experience people who are unhappy with their lives have a need to drag everyone down to their level. Love your content!
We in Germany have hanging toilets since over 40 years. It’s absolutely better than standing toilets. Geberit is an very good German product. Good job, Doug! Best wishes from Hamburg Germany.
I love that you show us when you’re changing your plans based on what you discover in the moment. That’s how real projects really go. You guys are doing great things and I appreciate your lessons.
I like the taller toilet.. the shorter ones are hard on our knees when we get older..
I love these toilets. We had ours installed 20 years ago. Still pristine, no leaks, easy clean especially with three boys.
What I enjoy, is that you make mistakes and then you fix it and explain how and why. It makes a huge difference.
Enjoying the work on the mobile home remodel! Doug and Ashley and family
Low toilets might be fine for young agile people - but for older, less agile people-- HELP ME UP!
We installed it at a dining room chair height.
@@diyfferent that is good thinking. You can always have a small footstool for the kids. I know what you mean by having your body at the right angle
To reduce or eliminate overheating a holesaw, first barely start the holesaw to mark its kerf, then drill a deep small hole (1/2”) just inside the kerf to let the sawdust escape from the kerf, then continue with the holesaw. Overheating is usually caused by the holesaw’s teeth being plugged with sawdust. It is best to drill the small hole clear through, but even mostly through will help.
You are so patient. You make it look easy but I know it isn't. Thanks again for the video. Take care.
Yea! Plumbing! I get a new washer. Any time my hubby works on plumbing I always say, Yay! I get a new washer...even if he is working on the kitchen sink.🤣 He absolutely detest working on plumbing. We think you guys are doing a great job.😊
Villeroy & Boch comes from my side of the world 😊 it’s a Luxemburgish/German producer of ceramics and porcelain and has an array of beautiful products from fine bone china to bathroom ceramics (sinks, toilets, bathtubs,…). Great purchase and you will be happy with its durability and easiness to clean. Worth the extra work, believe me! Great job!
Ever since you started using these I have been wanting to switch to this when we do our remodel. Cleaning under it is what sold me.
15:24 😂
Doug, you seem like a patient perfectionist. I mean that as a sincere compliment. I think a lot of companies would benefit from your knowledge and feedback on their poorly designed products. Hi to Eevee, Belle and Maverick!
So much thought and planning go into plumbing and electric. ❤❤❤❤
Makin big progress! You are amazing Doug you can do anything and Ashley you are right there knowing every move he makes. Great team. God Bless you all. Love , Granny.
Doug, you are correct when you mention about how we're anatomically created to go to the bathroom. I'm wondering if any of us were ever made aware of how wrong we are in our bathroom habits. Gives a whole new meaning to 'squatting', so now I'm literally online researching toilet stools. Also, as a woman that's never owned a toilet brush, what you're installing would be a dream come true for me! Easy cleaning! Love the knowledge you and Eevee always impart to us! It causes us to research and learn about things we might not otherwise have ever considered or had in interest in! Thank you!
Much easier to clean floor too. Seems a lot more sanitary to me .
Hi , I've been missing action with flu, 2 viruses and bronchial pneumonia.. time for a catch, good job with toilet if I had the room I certainly install one 😊
Villeroy & Boch👍👍👍 is one of the best when it comes to ceramic toilets, bathtubs and tiles. It's very expensive but the quality is very good.
I learn so many new things from this channel. I just love watching y'all. ❤️
Everything is coming together so quickly! Already at the plumbing!!! Woohoo!!! Glad you raised the seat height. Seems all positive, with more clearance underneath, easier floor install and a more comfortable height for the elderly etc. Wondering what size the sink will be when it seems so close to the toilet, but know you have thought that all out. All the best with the washer/dryer plumbing.
That's a cool looking toilet.
It's going to make the mobile home a little fancy 😊
I used to take those cores from the hole saw and use them as wheels and make little wooden cars and give them away to neighborhood kids.
Wishing you the best as you continue with the plumbing.
I’ve never seen a wall mounted toilet! That is so neat!! Love it!! Until next time. ❤❤❤❤
As an older person I like my toilet tall. Easier to get of lol. Great job
I said “marshmallow on a stick!” right when Doug did 😂😂. Love your channel!
Seeing the wood grain clearly on the ceiling it looks so good
I am quite impressed with the wall-hung toilet. The ease of cleaning is a great selling point. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll ever be in a position to have one installed but that's okay. I know you are so very careful with the details and taking baby steps with the plumbing is probably a very good idea. I'm sure you will get everything worked out just right.
My dad has wall mount toilets in his house. They are from the 70's and when they need replaced it's a huge expense because you can't get that brand anymore.
But I've always liked them.
My hat's off to you for working in the heat!
Hi Family,
OOOOOOh, love off the floor toilets!
Maybe one day I’ll have one or two 😜
Good job!
Stay safe, happy and God Bless ❤
Hi Belle n Maverick 🦋🚜
I love it not having that rim, which is so hard to clean underneath.
I love the idea of a wall hung toilet . Today I noticed all those dips and lumps and white topped screws that comprise the average American Standard Toilet base were covered in dust . It was troublesome to get in and around all the porcelain terrain down there in the narrow space in which the toilet resides . With knees that hate the sort of contortions required I talked to myself resentfully while cleaning ,complaining what a silly inconvenient design it is.And what do you know , there you were with the solution ! No help to me actually, a change is impossible for us now due to a number of reasons, but it is nice to see people’s minds have worked on an excellent solution.❤
You guys thing is..us elderly folks do not like a low toilet. Especially with no handicap handles to grab onto. It's too hard to get off of. But I do love the style of that toilet.❤
I always wished I did this when prices were low in our area. Now the adult kids can’t afford anything and could be moving into our second property if we had one. You two are very smart. Blessings
Exactly! I’m sure this total gut and Reno will come in less than the cost of a new single wide. I paid less than 46K for my DW in 2001. Prices are close to triple that now.
Lol completely random but when Doug said smoken... Tim Carrey in The Mask popped in my mind!
Jim Carrey
Doug you fixed it!! From all of the elderly folks world wide THANK YOU!!
Another amazing job! Many blessings to you, pray for y'all alot mostly for safety!
Lookin good! Wish we had wall mounted toilets! Nice to be able to clean floor underneath! Love y’all!
Until.you I've never seen this style of toilet before...I like it. I have watched your channel for years and love you and the kids. You always make my day. Hugs
Love the toilet. I was just in Italy back in April they have those toilet there
The toilet is so fancy. I love it. But boy it appears to be very heavy. It will be so nice tho when it is done. Until next time ❤❤❤❤
Great job Doug and Evie. Love your videos! Remember there are countries where they squat and go to the bathroom over a drain in the floor 😆 I think your toilet height will be perfect!
As an older person who has had both hips replaced.. a higher toilet is very helpful.. it is called “aging in place”
Your a talented man with great support from your wife and kids 👍👍
Another great job kids! Thank you for all the info. Just take your time and the plumbing will all come out great as it always does. You both are so good at everything you do. Love and blessings to you all. ❤️ ❤❤❤
I love it when the closed captions label the power tool sounds as music. So funny!
So exciting to see things taking shape! You sure do nice work Doug. I love to see you 2 working together!
Hubby is a plumber and when he changed our typical toilet to a comfort height, elongated, with a soft close seat & lid, we will never have it any other way. Doug, I was surprised that you wanted it that low, especially as tall as you are. As you get older, it isn't fun to stoop low to sit on a toilet but I understand we all like things DIYFFERENT. You always think things through, mostly (van), and get it done.
He's 5'9", so not too tall. He only looks taller since these ceilings are only 7 feet tall. We initially wanted the seat height to be at the standard toilet height, but then we decided to raise it up to dinner chair height because we wanted the toilet to be off the floor a bit more.
Villeroy & Boch also makes fine dinnerware. Love their selection of beautiful table settings.
Neat, I didn't know that.
Thank you Doug 😊 very interesting about a wall mounted toilet. Much love 🤗❤️
Love Eevee's ponytail, looks like a good Pokémon tail! Love your new name. Doug, glad you rIsed the bowl, so cleaning the floor can be done.
We had wall mounted toilets in Germany and I love them way more than our standard toilets here in the states. Cleaning them and the bathroom is so much better and easier. I will be installing them in our earthly forever home for sure.
Glad you raised the toilet. Hope it is high enough off the finished floor to mop underneath.
Yay, another morning video from you two! Best way to start my day! Amazing all the work and planning involved in installing plumbing. You take it all in stride tho and handle any obstacle. So interesting to watch how it all comes together!
I'm glad you raised it. You can always get a potty squaty for better body posture.
You guys have my respect. You ‘do it right’. And make hard decisions look good afterwards Keep on keeping on! I am looking forward to the next video
You always do a great job of your plumbing Doug. Always tidy and planned well.
❤the vid , you guys have a great day and stay safe in this heat.(humidity)
I use Air Admittance Valves. No holes in the roof. That is what I did. They work great.
Great job Doug, I like 17" for seat height & I am 6'3" tall with 36" inseam. What I find fascinating about toilet flushing or any water drain for that matter is the Coriolis Effect. North of the equator = water swirls in a clockwise direction, and South of the equator it swirls counter clockwise. Some toilet jets can counter this force.
Nice job. Personally , I'm glad you raised the toilet, but that's my opinion. Your doing a nice job. Love watching your renovations. Ben a fan for years.
Love your channel Doug and Eevee, you have certainly got more than your share of talent, grit and tenacity! 👍👏🏻👍👏🏻👍👏🏻
You guys are such hard workers. I genuinely laughed when you grabbed that hot bit. 😂
Doug - now I have to go measure how tall my toilet is 😳… see what you’ve started ? 🤣😘
I’m an older woman- and short - anyone who says older folks need higher mounts ? Install a grab bar for leverage 👍
toilets are one of those things that I stick with what I know. I understand the concept of a wall hung toilet but knowing that it's more complicated than a standard floor toilet would drive me crazy. however, unless your floor is way out of wack which yours could be. you can put shim boards under the toilet once its installed on the finished floor and cut them right at the edge of the toilet base, it will take up that void and you won't even notice it. just a tip for you if you ever come across a crooked floor like this in the future and you want a standard toilet
If I was buying a home, and they said the house has wall mounted toilets, l would be like, l will take it! That is the hardest for me to keep clean around the floor. ❤❤❤❤
I like the wall mounted toilet. Unfortunately with an older home it wouldn’t be cost effective to put one in. We are also looking to downsize our home in the next couple of years, sooner if possible.
I got a little concerned when Doug had a smoking drill. I can’t wait to see the tiles and walls up in the new bathroom. I’m still loving the tile in your bathroom at home.
As always be well, be blessed ❤
Hello Doug Eeevee & kids! Everything is looking great! ❤️
Thanks guys! Getting it done!
I really look forward to your videos. 🤗😊
The more I see the wall mount toilet I'm loving it can't wait to see it all put together Nice job Doug and Eevee❤️🇨🇦
Good job Doug
You keep on keeping on! 🎉🎉🎉
Hey guys. Sending you all lots of positive energy and blessings ❤
Hi Eevee and Doug, a wall mounted toilet makes cleaning the bathroom easier. Great choice
Great work thank you for sharing.
Oh wow, this was a good video to watch, Doug you are really good at all of the work you keep doing to the mobile home. Sending love and hugs, bye!! 🥰💜💜
I put in a hirer then regulation. At 74 years old, love it!!
I like the shape of this new toilet. It's slick!!
Good job guys! Hey get the things done on your schedule! I hope you kept the plugs from cutting the 2x4, if you decide to change the location you will have plugs! Just a thought! 😂
Ash & Doug it’s a room saver with a functional ADA toilet? Great hard-work guy’s. Take care
As a taller person, I like the higher toilets. Lol
I am an old person, living in a mobile home, and my toilet is pretty low. It is OK because there is a door right in front of it I can use to help me stand up. I really like it low, and do not have trouble getting down or up... because of that door. I have used those higher toilets you referred to, and they were pleasant to use, but I am 100% happy with what I have. I never thought about it also being closer to the position your body needs.
Hi Doug and Ashley I know you will figure it out Doug you always do. I love that wall mounted toliet. Take care guys and I will see you all next time.❤😊
Depending on the building codes in your area, you might want to consider using mechanical vents in some cases. On a mobile home this was standard practice as it is not always easy to find a way to vent the plumbing. A mechanical vent would allow you to vent without having to go through the roof. I would check your building codes as well as your overall plan for your plumbing.
Geberit is a German company. I have been working with the products for over 20 years. I have been installing Geberit toilet holders in private homes and companies in Germany for 15 years. The long feet are not a construction error. In Germany we usually have a high floor structure of up to 25 cm (pre-wall elements)
I'm glad you mentioned how the installation on an outside wall would be fine with winter weather. It was my first thought.
No worries, you guys are smart you will figure it out.
Love the toilet.🐩🐾🌻🌴
I love the wall toilet however you should remember that you should adjust the height to who you think the future owner will be. Yes your recommendation for a lower height is healthy however people with knee issues find it difficult to use an older toilet at that height. Not a criticism just my two cents from a person who has knee issues.❤
We put the toilet at dining room chair height, which is above standard height. The height we did is in the range of being ADA compliant. Really can't get any higher than what we did. And we only did that so we'd have more space between the toilet and floor.
Totally understand
I have the same Villeroy&Boch bowl (I think). My bowl is 10 inches high and the top of the bowl is at 16 inches, leaving a gap of 6 inches between the floor and the bottom of the bowl. More than enough for cleaning. The toilet seats will add an inch, so it will be 17 inches high. In The Netherlands 17 inch is now becoming the standard height I think. I installed it a year ago. The other toilet in my house is 15.5 inches high and is now considered to be low. It was installed 25 years ago. Take your time to be sure about the height because once installed adjusting the height will take some demolition....
Some plumbing and electric will be great to have while you continue on the remodel. I like those low toilets off the floor. Very clean.
Looking good Mr Doug & Family
I am so excited. I can't wait to see the complete toilet install. ❤
