- In this video I'm showing you how to build a customer shower from the studs out. I'm sharing details on every product and tool I used along the way, along with all the techniques you need to be successful. By DIYing this shower instead of hiring a contractor, I saved about $12K.

I love that you aren't afraid to release a 4 hour video, rather than stringing it out across a dozen weekly uploads. Burned a whole evening watching this with no regrets!
My wife needs to see this, so she can build the bathroom she keeps telling me about.
😂
LMAO!
I have to wonder how many people this comment hits home for😂😂😂
welp, that's why I'm here.
lol! several need to.
Watching this video was like having a friend guide me through a budget-friendly shower renovation project. I was amazed by how you used affordable materials and clever techniques to achieve such a high-end look without breaking the bank.
Does anyone else love this guy as much as I do? Amazing video. Courage to build a customer shower acquired.
I don't think I have the confidence to do a project like this Jeff. Amazing work as usual!!
the next bathroom I do is much more realistic for a larger group of diyers. Cheers!
Start small. Buy some larger format tile and a large piece of drywall that you can screw against a wall at the top. Practice laying it. Just make sure you get it off fast enough to clean the drywall and tile backing. Doesn't have to be perfectly clean. Throw thinnest away. Put a couple short cut pipes in the drywall to cut around. Remember, focus in on the spacing and cuts. You're practicing more than just setting it on the wall. Have fun and don't feel rushed.
My husband and I just started tearing apart our bathroom to redo pretty much everything in it, and we will be using your videos to guide us through the whole process. Thank you for all you do, your videos are extremely informative!
good trick I learned from years of tiling, take you diamond hole saw and cut a hole into a sponge, leave the cut piece inside the hole saw, then dip the hole saw in water, this way it will consistently feed water to your diamond hole saw as you cut your hole,
Genius !!! Thanks for the tip
You are a true man of genius
I love how you explain everything so well as you go> I am considering remodeling my Master Bathroom so this is very helpful. Thanks for doing what you do!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers!
Does this cover the plumbing at all?
he has a whole series, including the plumbing of this bathroom
Thanks for watching! If you found this video helpful, please subscribe. This was the worst bathroom I've ever had to take on in my life.. you can watch the demo and plumbing of this bathroom 👉🏼ua-cam.com/video/qiYYA2Uv_zA/v-deo.html
Looked tedious but your work is impressive. Thanks for sharing!
😢😢😢
I love the way you explain the tiniest little thing! It may appear simple to some people, but these are the things us novices need to know ! Tks.
You are the best content on UA-cam for sure. Your passion is inspiring and unmatched. I don't think you stressed enough about your framing that it was "done with a laser". For all the time you spent on the video you still started with a perfect frame. The tile and all the finish at the end is heavily reliant on the framing first and foremost. Especially if people are renovating their own homes. They might try to follow your video exactly and still be frustrated and fail because the framing wasn't good enough. I think stressing the framework for longer would've made the video perfect for most to understand what it actually takes to make everything you're doing as easy as it seems
My guy! Very well said.
I offer Framing adjustment as an option. I highly recommend it to customers, to flatten their walls.
I always analyze the Framing, and if it's too bad. I won't continue without it being addressed.
I charge $8-10/sqft to address the Framing. $8/sqft for hardibacker. If they want their walls floated in concrete it's $20-25/sqft.
Flat walls are the foundation and beginning of getting good tile work.
Level walls are the beginning of getting great tile work.
The quality difference is apparent between every level.
In my world, there is trash, happy mediums, and textbook perfection.
I will install trash if that's all you can afford/pay me for. I will always guide the homeowner towards textbook perfection. But if concessions need to be made for financial reasons. Part of my job and duty is to apply the best outcome with the funds available to any given job.
My standards are high, if I need to step beneath them, I do so the best way I can.
Thanks for sharing everything with us, Jeff. What I like about your videos as you’re just an average guy and you show all your mistakes and your frustrations. I feel like when I do a project like this I have the same experiences and the same setbacks and get just as frustrated, but I always figure it out. Some of the videos on UA-cam are done by people that probably film 10 takes before they’ll publish so everything looks perfect and done right the first time. I don’t like that because it doesn’t represent real life. You are unique and stand out among other contractors on UA-cam. Keep up the great work.
I called my wife that movie night is cancelled.
At first I was gonna say something along the lines of... You can't cancel movie night, happy wife happy life. But after seeing the length of the video I completely understand and agree.
Or just tell her she's watching a different kind of movie 😂
Cheers!
Me too
I thought I saw this nominated for a Golden Globe… not gonna lie I polished off a nice cab watching this!! Great stuff!!!!!
Mate, nice videos very informative, but get a 1ft 2 x 4 and hole saw it with each size you have then use it as a guide over tiles, clamp it to the tile to hole saw exact holes with no pilot bit. Perfect every time. Thanks for the great videos you rock, cheers from Australia
Thanks Jeff! I love the channel, and I am making serious headway into turning my wife into a hardcore fan! We never start any DIY project without first consulting your channel and watching *every* video you have done on the project! Thanks for all the hard work and excellent info!
Cheers Jeff! Happy to be of some help!
The cost-effective tips and step-by-step guide made me believe I can actually upgrade my shower without breaking the bank. Feeling motivated to tackle my own DIY project soon!
Great job!!! It shows you take pride in your work. We had a house built about 2 years ago and things show that some of the people didn't take pride in their work. Just get the job done and have to come back to fix it later
I found this video as we were attempting to redo one of our guest bathrooms. I also had the same experience trying to find the Schluter all-set, my local Home Depot or Lowes didn't carry it. Thankfully the Lowes two towns over carried it, but couldn't believe Home Depot doesn't even offer it on their website! I can't tell you how many times I have come back to this video and channel when I've hit a snag in my home projects. Can't thank you enough for how much you've helped with our home projects with the information you put on this channel!
This is exactly my bathroom in my Florida home and we have to remodel it. I know I will find the exact same issues with the floor and shower, Humidity comes from the bottom. Wood rottens at the floors in Florida. Very educational Jeff, thank you!
I'll watch 3 - 4 hrs of your content with no intentions of building anything 😂
hhahahahaahhahahaha i do the same thing!!!
I have every intention to do similar remodel, the price of hiring someone is crazy
I charge $40/hr.
I have critiques, I've only watched 2 minutes and 38 seconds.
The hardi needs to be tight and right, redgard is an inferior product that readily fails commercial flood tests. And accent bands in showers are dated like Microsoft Windows 98.
Here's my contract pricing
Framing adjustment (flatten walls) as needed/desired $8/sqft
Hardi backer $8/sqft
Waterproofing $4/sqft
Tile installation $45/sqft
Mosaic installation $65/sqft
Trim installation (schlueter $1/lnft) tile ($15-20/lnft)
Grout $5/sqft
Epoxy/technical grout $10/sqft
Caulking $5/lnft
Everything takes time. Quality is the name of my game. And my work sells my future work. People see what I do and want it.
I currently work through a few licensed contractors that battle for my time.
I view building code as a reference, not a guide. Something to exceed, not meet. The only time I meet building code, is when I have to. The rest of the time I'm beating it, often by leaps and bounds.
Just finishing remodeling my 2nd bathroom and every step I take I look for a video of yours relating to that specific task. Thanks for all the help Jeff. Keep up the great work
I don't recommend redgaurd. It doesn't meet my standards as a waterproofing.
For the same price. Mapei aqua defense does.
My preferred waterproofing for tile is laticrete Hydro Ban. It stands head and shoulders above redgard and aqua defense.
Redgard has trouble passing a commercial flood test and is easily debonded with people working on it.
I've only been called out for 2 failures in my showers. 1 for redgard failing. 1 for a house subsiding. I've had redgard fail multiple flood tests, requiring 4-6 coats instead of 2-3. Before finally passing. The last straw was when it failed 2 flood tests back to back.
If I see people looking @ it @ home depot. I tell them it's crap and steer them to floor&decor or to Lowes.
Thank you for giving such a detailed guide. I was fully engrossed in the 4hr video. I loved the problem solving solutions for those awkward issues we come across. I hate tiling and you have answered many of the questions I've always wanted to know. I'm now looking forward to building and fitting out my new bathroom with a lot more confidence
What an amazing learning experience watching your video. Probably the best and most informative video I’ve ever watched. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Fantastic content!!!
Question: do people think about using XPS boards for bathrooms in the US? I’m from The Netherlands and here it is now very common to use these. They are all the way trough 100% watertight and are ready to tile on. You can use them directly onto the framing if you get 20mm think boards or thicker. I used them for the whole bathroom, then will use a watertight tile glue, and then will also seal the grout of the tiles. This way there are 3 lines of defence against water getting into the construction. Just an idea, maybe it’s helpful for some. They are extremely fool proof to work with.
I love watching your videos. You make me laugh while I’m learning Thanks. ❤
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Jeff, this is a great teaching video. I’ve been a roofer/carpenter for 30 years and am still too scared to tackle tile work. You may have just given me to push to do my own bathroom.
If all goes well in the next few months, i will sell this home and start me and my daughters new home from scratch. Unless the market is low enough to buy a home on the market😂. If we do build a home we are looking at 4k sq ft with 2800 being heated. I will be using a lot of your videos to be doing most of the work myself. Only a few jobs i will contract out.
Keep up the Great Work and Content.
Best of luck!
Right on time as I am starting my project today!
I see every bathroom being built forward looking just like this one done by every DIYer
Love that you put all of this online. Next time though hire a designer for some finishes lol. Looks so basic Jeff ahhaah. But im just messing around. Thanks for showing us this type of content
Deal!
What’s wrong with basic? Basic is a good lasting solution, loved by most people.
Go with a designer, who invents something “unique” for you, and it will look outdated in 5 years, and it will be harder to sell as much less people will like it.
The stone tiles makes it special and 😊
Bands in tile are dated like windows 95.
Hiring a designer gives you options. Empowering your vision. If you chose a wazoo modern look, it was your call. A good designer will often create for the space and make suggestions based off interpreting the homeowners desires.
I'm an installer. I often recommend what I call the updated classic look. Matte white subway tile, mosaic floors & shampoo box back wall, solid white marble dam & shampoo box shelf, and a hidden square drain. It looks good I most houses, if I had a more modern style to my house I might swap the subway tile to a 1'x2' while glossy tile set vertically.
A classical look will stay classical forever. A modern look is only modern until it becomes dated.
Bands in tile showers were modern in 1995. Often @ hip level, with the tile backslash carrying through the shower, or the same material with an offset. It was built upon, layered, embellished with doodads, and now mostly done with.
Jeff-- another excellent video. Question. Why don't you start at the bottom and then work up so that you have waterproof layers overlapping as you go up? I am thinking about considerations when we do siding, roofing, etc.
the exterior systems are all water diversion so it makes sense. the house also dries to the exterior so not as important. In a bathroom we are making it waterproof. the redgaurd when dries creates a monolithic layer like rubber and has no joints at all. Cheers!
Totally Awesome as usual. I love that new product on the floor, looks like it's easy to work with & cut. I had a remodel done but not with this product, a 4x9 shower that I loved. Watch your videos for hours and learn a great deal Love u man!!!
To make small cuts in the board I used an oscillating tool with metal cutting blades, after melting three wood blades.
I used Hardie and in multiple instances the edge screws caused the board to crack. So I decided to pre-drill the edges. Liquid nails to secure it to the studs in addition to the screws.
Also, I pre-fastened the Backer-On screws with the boards laying flat on the ground after marking on the boards where the studs are, then set them into position and completed fastening to the studs - this way it felt a lot easier to begin screwing.
2:19 in if you make a grey mark in ceramic tile or fixtures. Barkeeper’s friend” ( not the spray)on a scrubby or rag will remove it most of the time.
Great video,I love all your work, especially, because you explain. What you’re doing, and why not to do something, in ways that we can all understand
only 42 and still very gray! couldn't help it, much more love for you
Thank you so very much for sharing so generously all your knowledge and expertise. I appreciate that you want things done the right way.
It was a helpful video, thanks. I watched the entire video. You are very good about explaining the products and their uses. Regarding the marble shelf you stated that the water would run all the way under the piece and stop at the silicone.
With that thought how water travels, I wanted to share my contractor’s tip for my recent bathroom makeover. I choose a black granite threshold and with sliding days like yours. The threshold installation was fantastic. The contractor provided a physical cut underneath the entire length of the bottom side of the granite to break the path that water would take, while showering. It kept the water inside the shower and stopped the water traveling outside the area onto the floor. You can do the same by passing a saw blade along the length of the shower shelf and threshold before installing a shelf or threshold. It was a thoughtful step in making my bathroom less apt to have water all over the floor!
I was thinking the same thing as he was talking about water travel. The same thing applies to window sills. Routing out a small groove on the underside of the length of the sill keeps the water from seeping back under the siding.
watched this from start to finish and it was fantastic
Did i miss where you set the floor to slope towards the drain? (Great Video, Loved the details!)
Good that you can keep your chipper attitude even after being jilted by orange and blue on the thinset that you needed, at a time you were low on energy without lunch Very frustrating. The story is that even the store managers don't control inventory at their own orange or blue outlet (!). Inventory at every outlet is tracked at the home office via computers, so if the screen on somebody's desk says any particular big box has sufficient inventory in stock (even if the manager says the shelf is empty), then that's it. You don't get resupplied until the computer says you need it. In this instance, probably there was a "run" on thinset from local contractors, so you were out of luck. Fortunate that you could find what you needed at F&D, even if you had to drive to Orlando to get it. My opinion is F&D is the place to go, even if it's farther away.
Jeff- Have you considered offering an on-site PAID training program for various projects in 2024!!! Participants cover costs of training and additional costs!!! GREAT INCOME FOR YOU AND A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR PARTICIPANTS!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND EXPLANATION OF DETAILS.
Good idea for trash bag paint tray liner, always seem to run out of those.
Hi, thanks for sharing and your time. There was no other port to hook up your macron gauge because usually I make far from my vacuum pump. Thank you
Jeff, are we missing the link for that foam structural product? Looked very interesting.
It is from Oatey, they don't have it available to buy directly online. Contact them to find out where you can buy the products near you, and let them know we sent you www.oatey.com/contact Cheers!
It is new to market and a little delayed getting listed to build.com
we will do a post as soon as it is available. Cheers! They were supposed to have it ready for September but The show must go On. Cheers!
So much information very helpful very thorough thank you so much for your expertise and advice.
Thanks Jeff for another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
LWhy not tie the floor first in the shower instead of wall
I live in a community where all the plumbing is above the slab. Wall toilets and a 6-inch step up into the shower. I just received a quote of $25K to remodel just the wet area. That would be to remove the acrylic unit and replace it with a new acrylic unit! I would like to build a tiled walk-in shower.
I wonder if the linear drain might be an alternative to dropping the drain below the slab. It would still be a higher shower pan, but eliminating the major plumbing would be a huge cost savings.
Always enjoy your vids!
At 36:06, when you pressed the drain pipe onto the existing drain, it looks like the a pipe flange spread apart as if it wasn't glued.
I had a plumber I contracted in a new build yrs back forget to glue 2 drains & I found out the hard way when the ceiling in the basement flooded. It was a costly mistake for him!
You've got me just about to being confident to start this exact project. I'm not a complete novice but I'm definitely not as seasoned as you are.😳 Great video though!
I start each of your videos by first just going ahead and giving it a thumbs up!
Love the education and video! Just curious, why use hardie backer board for the shower walls instead of Kedri board? Also, I have seen lots of guys who use hot mop, but I like the idea of a different system. Just trying to understand mixing different methods together. Thanks in advance!
with that pink tape you should bottom first like that shelf the side on the level sides and back before going above it
Hi Jeff, thank you so much for sharing your videos they have been very helpful during my DIY bathroom remodel. I was wondering if you could share the drainage and bench products, I didn't see the link. Thanks!
I feel your frustration. It seems the purchasing people for these and many other stores do not know their products and have no idea what they are doing. I am constantly trying to design workarounds because they do not carry one or two important components making the systems they do carry incomplete and thus bordering on useless. Idiots.
Great job, from start to finish.
That's awesome. I been wanting to do a walk in shower in my master bathroom and been gathering up ideas. I've watched so many videos and read so much because I only want to do it once. But stupid question. Will thinset shrink up at all and crack? I'm a collision guy by trade but love doing stuff in my house just to get away from cars for a bit 😂
some cheap ones will. that is why we need to use a thinset designed for large format tile. the Schluter Allset is always your best bet. Cheers!
Just a brilliant job well done unbelievable skill 😅
Question....I noticed you have tile on the bathroom floor. I have obviously been incorrectly told you can't install tile on a mobile home floor because it has only 2x6 floor joist. How did you reinforce the bathroom floor joist and subfloor to be able to support tile without it cracking in the future?? Thanks 😊 oh ,excellent video!!
if you have a mobile home with no plans to move it then tile away. I also used schluter ditra as a reinforcement for this install. Cheers!
my trailer has a steel beam running down the middle of each segment of my double wide. When I do decks my engineer says 2x6 is fine if my span is only 5' . In this case my span is just a little less than that. adding the Schluter Ditra to my new plywood subfloor makes this assembly perfect for tile. as long as you don't move the trailer. Cheers!
Hello Jeff, My name is Alex. Thanks for all the UA-cam videos, you show when things are going well and you also show your mistakes too, I enjoy watching your videos you make. I have a question regarding kitchen renovation. I have bought an apartment and first need to do a kitchen renovation and the walls are wooden studs and plasterboard. I need to move the washing machine and dishwasher from one wall to another wall closer to the water draft from the wall. Also have to run new electrical wires, this only applies to the lower cabinets. Instead of plasterboard, I am thinking of having a plywood board of 15mm. I'm thinking more about whether there will be water damage and electrical outlets for the washing machine and dishwasher. Also thinking about removing the old tile along with the plasterboard and then putting up a new plasterboard to put up a new tile. Do you have any comments regarding this work? You may have a better option. Grateful for answers.
Absolutely love the way this shower turned out. This is exactly what I want when I replace my current shower, everything blended beautifully. A couple of questions. Would it matter if you grouted the corners and then put silicone over top? Just not necessary? Also I love the stone floor tiles. How much of a pain would it be to eliminate the straight grout line created down the middle of the shower floor by pulling up random stones and resetting them to eliminate that line because the stones on the rest of the floor aren't in a line? Fantastic work, educational as always!
Grouting the corners gives the silicone nowhere to go into, so maybe you'd end up with a bigger bead.
Mixing the floor stones up to avoid that line is standard practice that Jeff seems to often skip doing.
With that type of floor tile you pre-fit the tile before you place the thinset and then mark their positions, pull them up and spread the thinset and then put them back as you had marked them to go. You leave the straight lines cuts for the outside edges and you take apart the straight edges in the center facing edges cutting the tiles away with scissors or a razor knife. Then when you align the next tile set you use the tiles you removed from the interior edges to fill the gaps as close as possible in the same random pattern. This way you remove all the factory straight edges which draw the eye away from the random pattern.
Perfect job as usual. One question: what’s the valve you used in this bathroom?
This channel is invaluable
Cheers Chad!
Great video as always. But we never got to see the finished boxed lighting and how shines into the shower. You talked about it in the first video. How did you finish it. Would love to see the whole bathroom completed
I used a little piece of clear light box lens. I have yet to do my punch list which includes the sealant around that light box. Cheers!
Use commercial spray bed liner. And it will never leak, and I’m guessing it will be cheaper
Love your content. My only criticism would be that the shower mixing handle should be at 3 o'clock
You sir are the master! 😃👍🏻
Im actually the manager at both locations of the Home Depot and Lowes that you were referring to about not having the thinset..i can confirm i have no idea where i am and i will gladly push you off to a brand new employee...thank you for shopping at Lowe Depot.
LOL. Cheers!
Great job, you sure explain it well and make it look easy. My problem is no matter what I seem to do my cuts are always off. I can fly a helicopter, but carpentry, well guess it has never been my forte.
Love the results, but wondered why you didn’t have the drain plumbing sunken down further, maybe under the floor? I’ve seen you work with that type of wide drain that exists below. Seems that could have saved all the build up. I’m probably missing something. It came out great!
Great teacher. It’s like watching Noah build the Arch 😂.
Not throwing shade here!! I love your content! Watching now for intel gathering for my bathroom reno this spring. Why are you not doing a full piece under the alcove with the cement board. I get why not having the seam at the top, but why a seam at all? I'm sure you explained it and I simply missed it
Very informative video, thanks for taking the time to put it together for all of us. I was surprised to see you use a metal putty knife to move the grout around on the floor, especially because you took such great care to seal the rocks before grouting. Is the sealer really that tough, or did the metal on rock sound worse than it actually was?
I'm redoing my bathroom now, following your video. Without this video, i would have had to pay someone to do it.
Hey Jeff love your content. I’m planning on renovating my current acrylic tub/shower into a tiled walk in shower.
Wondering if the products, methods, steps are the same here in Ontario as what your doing here in Florida.
What about plastic razors for scraping the tiles clean after you've mounted them? I like to use them for glass cooktops and windshield cleaning, where I don't want to scratch it up.
like I always perfection is imperfection, imperfection is perfection
Lookin' good Jeff! you look liked you've slimmed down a bit. Been watching for a while now.
Great video Jeff, I have a question where did you get the shower floor and wall tile from? What is the size of the wall tile?
Excellent video! I didn't see a link to the green foam you're using. What is that stuff?
your cameraman couldn't focus on that screw to save their life 😂 please hire me as your replacement
p.s. im happy i had a great view of your thumb and arm hairs but it was a tad distracting
GODDAMNNNNNNN, family, tonite we dine
ur the best, 4h heheh
greetings from the countryside of Chile, just finished tiling my kitchen wall with subway tile after being a good boy and watching ur videos on the matter
thanks again
Well Done!!!
Great video as always. And looking to do something similar. But i dont see what the foam board product is, nor the cement board? Do you have links or at least names to look onto them?
we will add the link as soon as the product is listed on build.com , as for the cement board that is found at the local home depot. called fiber cement board. Cheers!
Good stuff, tons of great info however I can't wait to come back to this shower after 2 years of daily use and see the amount of mold built up in all those caulked corners and surround.
@patricks5575 can you expand on your comment? Is there a different way to seal things up that won't promote mold growth? Serious question, I thought 100% silicone was the way to go...? I have our bathroom ripped apart right now and would like it to outlive me.
Jeff great job. Just love watching you making measuring mistakes. Had three wonderful drinks watching you decorate your bathroom. Loved every moment, especially that Styrofoam product! Are you in Ocala Florida?
Love these videos, really teaches me what I need to know. Thanks TV man p.s. Where's that product link/name?? I want it gosh darnit
If I’m going to use the RedGard paint as my waterproof barrier, can I use just a cement mesh tape instead of the fabric tape used in this video?
If context is needed: I live in Florida, my house is on a concrete slab, and there’s a window in the shower.
Hi Jeff, where is the link to the foam board that you use in this video? Thanks.
The video showcased some brilliant hacks to upgrade a shower space on a tight budget. I never thought a $15K look could be achieved for just $3K - the before-and-after shots were impressive, and I now feel confident about tackling my own renovation projects
Cheers Lisa!
Which Glidden Diamond paint did you recommend for bathroom ceiling please?
I have a quick question I'm going to remodel my bathroom in my mobile home and one of the big remodels is going to be a tile shower I'm going to put a shower base down but I was wondering what tile would be best for the walls
Can you please explain why you dont use modified thinset, Costom makes and recommends that we use the modified with their RedGaurd.
And can you suggest what thinset to use from HD or Rona, or what product youre using here??
The thinset used here is Schluter Allset. It is a modified product that also performs for non modified installation requirements. It was designed specifically by Schluter to protect installers from using the wrong thinset in the wide variety of applications that their products are installed in.
Anyway I can get you to stop in Pennsylvania before you leave. I had a contractor gut my house and leave with the insurance money. Watching your videos I was able to put a bathroom in so my family can move back in.
It took me a month or more to finish but I did.
ouch. sorry !
Usually you check the walls before starting the tile also you found out the layout before you started installing tile . I’m wondering if the design in the tile is matching everywhere
Also you should do floor and bench and the shelve first so tile seats on top of it and you don’t see ugly gaps
I watched the installation of the drain pipe in the shower. When you glued in the corner drain piping you used. 22.5 fitting off the 90 on the floor. It looks to me that you have created a slope from the 90 to the corner drain. Won’t this allow water to sit in the pipe and corner drain because the 22.5 in pipe make the water have to lift up to the 90? So, water will sit in the corner drain and pipe effectively making a standing water trap? In hind site, you could have cut the flooring circle in the plywood larger to accept the 90 lip on the drain pipe to eliminate the 22.5 connector which means the corner drain has a straight line slope to the 90 eliminating the standing water in the line and corner drain. I love the wall receivers! I am going to redo a shower and this video will really help! Thanks!
I have a single wall construction made with redwood what would you recommend for screw and should I put the cement board I need to sign up and send you videos and pictures what I have going on!
If you join the membership you can definitely send me m pics for advice. we also have a live show for members only coming up on the 13th of January at 2:00 EST for around 2 hours so I can help you then as well. Cheers
Hey Jeff, I'm a longtime fan. Been following you since the beginning trying to do this on my own watched you build this over and over again now, but I still have not seen in the descriptions, the name of the product and I can't find it help!
You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months sometimes lesser and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life✊🏻❤️
Wow that's huge, I'm 47 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her client's testimonies on CNBC news last week....
Woah for real? I'm so excited. Andreea's strategy has normalised winning trades for me also. and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started...
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
Thanks so much!
I am seriously considering becoming tile setter. Have to get insurance and maybe llc? I am just figuring this out. I am about to do our master bathroom over , for the reason that it needs it but also its practice. I feel incompetent when it comes to treating edges. Going to practice with metal edge products, bullnose, etc.
Nice work mate.
Thanks. Cheers!
Dude wipes. Essential construction material.
