It is a nice shower base. Can you let me know the size of that pan pleas?
Great video, I have a question, I’m installing a vinyl corner shower, unfortunately my drain is off by 3/8, leaving the shower base 3/8 off one side of the wall. My question is can I use a quick set motor in the open space and feather it up the wall then glue the shower panel to the wall, the wall is wonder board. I’m concerned that the mortor will fail or do you think I can try this? Thank you
code enforcement/building inspector and plumber both said a 2" to 1 1/2" reducer will work on my tub to stand up shower conversion, everything I personally can find on the internet contradicts what they are telling me, but the building inspector and the licensed plumber seem to think it is non issue, what say you?
This template trick is one of the best builder tips I've ever gained on YouTube. Thank you sir.
You should have made videos til yo finished the job. You would have Aced your effort in doing so. Really need to see you bangout the concrete. It gives me strength..
I'm considering helping my Mom remodel her home. She just bought it. It was built in the 60's and it's the best home she could find with the loan she obtained. I want her to have her dream home so badly. She's such a good hardworking lady. I'm 5' 2" tall and I can literally touch her ceilings in this new home with my fingertips. I've found videos on raising the roof rafters with hangers in order to increase head room so I understand how that will have to get done. The layout is also terrible. So much wasted space. Makes me feel claustrophobic. Ceiling needs raised eventually. Kitchen & bathrooms needs rearranged & remodeled. The whole house really needs remodeled.. We'd like to relocate & rearrange basically everything. Rearranging layout seems difficult when you go rearranging toilets and showers and sinks. I've not found a good visual video on that process yet. The upstairs bathroom needs an actual tub instead of a small walk in shower. Can be accomplished by settling for a smaller single bowl sink instead of a huge double sink. But then the drain & water lines still have to be relocated. I don't believe this particular video is exactly what we need to attempt a DIY but it's very much appreciated. May make for a good tip for the ghastly bathroom set-up in the basement. I don't even know what they've done down there. The layout is so crowded and the entire area behind the small corner shower in the basement is like boxed in to like rib height and we have no clue why. There's no access panel or closet or storage there. Directly outside the bathroom opening, they sealed off the stairs to the basement at some point & built a closet around where the stairs are. When you open the closet, you realize the stairs are still there. Lol. Then upstairs in the kitchen, you can feel the floor give a bit where the entry to the basement used to be. Ductwork is bulky & hangs in the basement. Someone ripped a hole in the ductwork in the basement so air could release down there. It's a mess. NOTHING was done right. Visually disturbing & depressing to see the bulky unnecessary structures & odd remodel of the home. There's ONLY one small roughly 10 foot wall of cabinets in the small kitchen that could actually be ample space with a better layout. There's a poorly placed backdoor in the kitchen that leads out to a small covered deck. The kitchen is divided from the living room with a wall with a rectangle opening and a countertop in the rectangle opening. It can't even be used for bar seating because there's basically no recessed area for legs and feet. Like the same common sense reason why there's space for your toes to go when you're standing in front of your kitchen cabinetry should also apply at that opening where somebody attempted to create bar seating. The front an back doors struggle to open. At least you don't bust your knuckles when opening the front door though. The back door handle is so close to the door frame that my knuckles hit the door framing and got hurt when I turned the knob to come back into the kitchen from the back deck. All the windows are old and even missing interior panels of glass in some of them. A bedroom addition was added to one side of the house and they left the existing brick exterior wall to act as a dividing wall for that bedroom. There's no HVAC ductwork in that bedroom. There's also 2 windows that were left in that brick wall. Lol. I've never seen such ridiculous shade tree carpentry work in my entire life. Do you have any good video recommendations for us to get a better visual for how extensive this project is actually gonna be? Like possibly a house you've done a video segment on with many of these similar issues? It looks as though the previous homeowner did alot of DIY remodeling without taking any real amount of pride in their finished work. Even if we decide to hire contractors, we still need a visual for what's gonna have to happen to lively up this house, reverse the shade tree carpentry work and make the space more practical.
Genius on the cardboard trick, a real craftsman will use lots of templates to finish is work!!!!
Or use a Wydaflo Adjustable shower base 🙂
I appreciate how brief and to-the-point your videos are.
I always wondered what happened to the kid from A Christmas Story….
