What a GREAT Video !!! Very Informative!! thanks !!!
Always good 👍 👌 information
Love the advertisement! Oh and I guess there was a construction video at the end of it as well.
Great tips
Great show 👍
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great video,GOD BLESS
Thank you 🙏🏼
Very nice thank you
Thank you, hopefully it was helpful
This is gonna be me very soon in my bathroom 😭😭
Exactly the same tips for a bathroom 👍🏼
Me 😩
Take your time my peeps, and watch this fella's online videos and any other as need be.
I did so, and my bathroom is done and gorgeous.
(And watertight 😊)
This is perfect. I kept wondering if you could use screws or needed a nail gun. Im gonma remove some old hard wood in my attic to hopefully use as repair pieces elsewhere in the home, but obviously need to replace it with something. No subfloor currently cuz the home is 120yrs old.
Awesome content, super informative and that adhesive makes work so much easier. Thanks.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great information! I'm gonna save this for future reference.
Thank you, hope it helps 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing.... I have an upcoming project that needs a sub floor and this video will be helpful... I have to find a video of how to demo a sub floor (removing a toilet and tub) wish me luck
Thank you, keep me posted on your project. I’m over on Instagram as well, it’s easier for me to help in the DM over there 👍🏼
I did my sub floor and used the 2ft tiles in my bathroom ir turned out great I just need trim
Great vid, thanks! Worth pointing out that the face grain of the plywood should run perpindicular to the joists as you did here (unless you mentioned it and I missed it!)
Good point!
Great video, thanks. 2 questions:
1. Why did you choose to not have the subfloor go underneath the interior wall? It looks like there's a large gap on the right side between the 1st piece and the existing subfloor next to it.
2. Is there a video on the blocking you did? I'm curious about the sistered joist near the doorway
I have a subfloor of 1x6 diagonal planks. I'm redoing the bathroom and putting ditra heat and tile on top. Should I remove the planks or just put plyboard/osb on top of planks?
Awesome Job! What type of screws & how long? I guess you don't recommend tiling over ext plywood 3/4 only in a bathroom?
Definitely helpful. Keep up the good work because you're great at explaining a process in order to get a good result with minimal frustration. Stuff like mentioning that you don't necessarily need a foam gun like you showed in the video but that it makes the job a whole lot easier for example.
I appreciate someone that is willing to at least acknowledge other ways to do the same thing. Instead of only explaining the way that you prefer. Even down to preference in how you shake the can. *Great stuff* pun intended
Thank you so much 🙏🏼🔥🙏🏼🔥
@@HomeRepairTutorwhat size is the plywood? What size needed for bathroom?
Great video as with your others. Curious, would the final floor and new walls close the gap along the outer floor perimeter?
Floating Flooring usually needs 1/4 gap around the perimeter so baseboard end up covering the gaps .
Haha, good, you mention cleaner at the end, all video i was wondering, what will happen with this foam inside the tube, the next day :)
Thanks for this! I’m fixing to be redoing my bathroom. My question is there a recommended space the plywood should stay from the wall?
I leave a 1/4” from the studs or drywall
Do you ever use cement board any more for tile floors or exclusively an uncoupling membrane like ditra?
Mostly an uncoupling membrane because it’s only 1/8” thick and keeps the doorway transition to a minimum
@@HomeRepairTutor ty for the reply!
Ur #1 Kid 👈👊👊💪💪
It may just be the angle of the camera, but did you have two adjacent bits of plywood sitting on the one joist? I.e., at the end of a piece, it only uses 1/2 the joist? Or is the next bit along sitting unsupported at the end?
I'm going to need to do this with my bathroom. But with 3/4 inch plus cement board plus tile will I be looking at an additional 1/2 inch rise in the floor? Can this be compensated for by a thinner subfloor or is 3/4 standard?
I’d use an uncoupling membrane like DITRA instead of the cement board, that’ll reduce your finished floor height
Hello my friend; consider this.
I built a bathroom within a room. I had seriously considered dropping the bathroom floor 1" lower to be in the same plane as the adjacent floor height. I opted not to, and in the end, this anal perfectionist is perfectly at ease with stepping up 1" into the bathroom. In the end, the difference in height didn't matter. I am Very happy with the result. Good luck and respect 👊
Oh and imho, a thicker subfloor will reduce deflection and save your tile grout and tiles from cracking. This is the main reason for the subfloor right? To reduce deflection and spread the load.
You’re a pro for sure but personally I’ll sister up a board and avoid a shared joist, too easy for screws to blow out 3/4” near the edge
that’s also a great option 👍🏼
U do know what u doing nice work here thanks I like to learn……👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️
What contractors license do
You have?
So i have floor with small pieces of wood in the floor
What its the diferent?
Its better use big wood ?or let like that its thanks you
It’s better to have larger sheets of plywood to prevent deflection and tile failure, but it’s good to know the joist spacing and tile so that you can appropriately plan your subfloor thickness and/or layers
Is it easy to take off for demolishing after putting the adhesive
Most likely it’ll pull the bottom most layer of plywood off when demoing
good luck for the next person that has to remove that plywood off the joist.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What type of screws and length did you use to secure the plywood?
3/4" tongue and groove ply, I would imagine min of 2.5 or 3" counter sunk wood screws. Just guessing
I'll correct myself - 2" wood screws- it's IN THE DESCRIPTION along with other things used
Do you recommend screws or nails for this?
I prefer screws because they grab better and you don't need a compressor or expensive nail gun
what type of screws are you using to screw into the joists?
U2 Universal Screws, specifically 2 inch #9 so that the screw penetrates 1 inch into the floor joist
@@HomeRepairTutor thank you for the quick reply! I appreciate it! Could you also use ring shank nails instead of the screws? Do you have a preference? Does it even matter?
@@blitzlex I prefer screws because they sink the panels tight against the joists
What would the equivalent be to U2 #9 screws be at the retail box stores such as home depot or Lowe’s?
@@blitzlex GRK screws 👍🏼
I have an issue hopefully someone can help it's electrical work my bathroom wiring is not working right please help I'd even give you my numbers I can't figure ot out !
why does this 3 month old video still pop up as a new notification in googtube? No hit to the channel which is great but it comes up week after week....
Yes, that 8x5 room was $2,485 in plywood costs😭
🦾👍
Besser den blöden Schaum weglassen und dafür die Gefache dämmen. Trommeleffekt!!👎👎🤪🇩🇪
Do you have to remove old hardwood floors before putting down a new subfloor?
I recommend it because the old hardwood might deflect too much and will also add unnecessary floor height
@@HomeRepairTutor Thank you for the response, what subfloor material do you recommend? any tips for vapor barrier and insulating?
Retitle this, how to use greatstuff on subfloor
Maybe a subtitle 😊
