If Webi isn’t sponsoring you, they should. Wish I heard about this product 3 months ago for a shower I installed in the basement. Great video. Thank you. I can’t wait for the final reveal.
I literally pause the video and I called my sister and ask if she down to remodel our parents bathroom because 1. they desperately need it and second because I feel like I have learn a lot by watching your videos. I can have people work on it and I would be like that’s not right do it like this trust me guys 😂 I told my sister ok bye got to continue watching 😊🤣💕 !!
My house is about the same age range as yours so your videos are so relevant to me. Your projects cover a project that I have been planning. I work alone and I'm 67. I'm trying to get my projects done while I still have my health. Love your videos and like that you keep them short. Can't wait to see your next video 😊
When I redid a bathroom last year I used Kerdi Board just because it was Covid times and you could get it on Amazon. Very similar product and a year later, we are still loving the result. The builder had tiled directly on the wood framing in the windowsill that was INSIDE THE SHOWER, so needless to say there was a lot of damage to repair. It was really important to me to make sure everything was EXTREMELY waterproof. All of these products are so much easier to work with than cement board. Can’t wait to see the tile go up!! Also, can’t believe you can find the time with a newborn. Hope all is well with the little fixer. 😀
Still prefer mold resistant drywall with redguard rolled on 4 times. I realize time is of the essence for pros, but as a homeowner, I took my time doing my method and the results were awesome.
I would wrap the tile onto the end of the wall that the shower head is on. it would give the face of it a nice finished look and make it more water proof. as we all know water dose get out of the shower via steam and a small end piece of dry wall would be more receptible to that moisture were the tile on the end would not.
I’ve never heard of that product wedi. Looks great and seems a lot easier to use. Who knew a shower install could be so entertaining. 👍💗 Also, I need one of those The Fixer stickers for the bottom of my drill!
This was one of the options we discussed with our contractor last year when we had a hole completely through the wall due to a leaking shower installation done 15 years earlier. We eventually went with concrete fiberboard. Looking forward to seeing how you refinish the tub.
@@KadilakHomes $30K worth of structural repairs because they installed tile directly over drywall with no moisture barrier. Since it was on the 2nd floor they had to put up a temporary support wall through my kitchen for a couple weeks.
Well, to keep with the theme of that ugly-ass 70's linoleum he keeps ripping out, perhaps something so dated that it's actually cool again. Friends of mine bought a home 20 years ago that had a powder blue bathroom that dated from around 1975: tiles, tub, sinks, toilet, paint, floor. It was in immaculate condition and was so retro everybody loved it. Of course, when a sink finally broke they had to remodel the entire thing.
@@beverlyrbev3890 Many people find the use of the same tile throughout a home to be extremely boring. Also, when it comes time to sell all those things you mentioned usually make a home too personalized and buyers start calculating the cost to remove all the trendy stuff and put in something less offensive to their sensibilities. Going understated is usually the best option.
@@beverlyrbev3890 Everything goes out of style eventually. Chrome gave way to brushed nickel, deep shag carpeting is (thankfully) no longer everywhere, wood paneling is now universally hated, and in a few years all bathroom fixtures and tile will look dated, regardless of how nice they are. Looking to replace a fixture and have it match the rest of them in your home, but they're all 10 years old? Good luck with that - odd are pretty good that they stopped manufacturing it 5 years ago. Think of appliances: I grew up when they were all avocado green and harvest gold. Then they went stainless steel, black came into fashion for a few years, and now they white is extremely popular again. And let's not forget the most recent trend of all-white kitchens, which everyone soon discovered get dirty too fast if you actually cook.
I wish the wedi was available some years ago when we tiled our bathroom. Looking forward to the tile and tub resurfacing. I have a clawfoot that needs to be done.
I love watching your videos. I like that you cover one thing per video. But on the other side, I hate when you say herish and herish. I could watch you all day.
I love your videos. Just bought my first house. Had the confidence to gut out the bathroom, and remodel because of this series. All I have left to do is tile my shower. Currently I have the sealed wedi board up and was wondering if it was safe to use the shower while we wait for the tile to come in later this week. (We just moved in, up until now I was able to shower at our old apartment)
Yes! We used it and no issues. Should be water tight just avoid getting any holes (around the shower valve) wet. Happy to hear my videos have helped you!!
When you were doing the shelf I was thinking about the fact that you need to angle the shelf for drainage. I'm a woman so I always think about things like "is water going to sit there and turn into mold?" I also think "how easy are those tiles going to be to clean?" when picking them out.
Mix 1/2 cup ammonia and juice of 2 lemons and tablespoon dish soap together and add enough baking soda to make a paste. Use this mixture with soft wet rag and scrub your bathtub and it will sparkle
You should raise the wedi board a 1/4” above the tub, then bring your tile down to the tub. Just in case water gets under there, it won’t wreck the board
@@beverlyrbev3890 yes, I understand that Germans pronounce the W as a V. But the pronunciation of the item is up to the inventor. And they pronounce it "VEE-di," so that's the correct pronunciation. If you "Westernize" that pronunciation, you would get "WEE-di," so "WED-i" is definitely incorrect. But I really don't care all that much!
Hi Fixer! Can the wadi be used for those acrylic walk sheets to, or do you suggest using something different for those? Also if you can suggest the best adhesive to use on the acrylic sheets as well.
According to the manufacturer, it's pronounced "VEE-dee." It's a German company, apparently. (This is according to their UA-cam video titled, "Training: Building a complete bathroom using the wedi system.") So now you have THREE pronunciations to choose from! 😁
I believe that immediately. 🙂 I am from Germany and I am highy fascinated by the US way of building and making rooms. In Germany you got all kind of prebuilt walls like that Wedi. You just put them together. The US way is more like minecraft 😉. You can build any kind of room changing in a very stable solid (and beautiful) way. The German way needs one special wall for only one special purpose. It is easier to build, but more expensive and mostly you need an expert for each kind of wall 🙄☹️.
Just how many caulking cartridges did you use? They cost up $15 here in the UK, might have been better to use something like red guard tanking if it costs the same there
I get so excited everytime there's a new video!

Really laughed out loud when you said you were going to seal the crap out if this. Great job!
I did too!🤣
🤣 Same
I’m so invested in this remodel! So excited when I see a new video!
I know I can't wait!
I doubt that I will ever need to but if I do I feel like I can remodel anything thanks to you.
Seriously, great videos!
Really digging these longer uploads 🙌
As am I 👍
The progress is very impressive, it looks great! Well done!
Thank you so so much I'm a 60+ women who got tired of over priced people!🤔 I'm going to try your way I'm excited to see the results

Nothing like a little over kill on sealing up. That's exactly the way I do things and I wish builders did as well. Love your videos!

It's amazing!
Since you are doing all the hard work and everything is basically new, any reason you decided to keep the old tub? Just curious.
I am so invested into this project, that I will be so bummed if I don't like the tiles..

Looks good. Can’t wait to see the tile work.
Tile is always my favorite
Good work...sealed tight. Can't wait to see you tile and how to put it up.
Tile is my favorite!!
Finally early, Nice progress!
Looking forward to seeing the finished work Looking amazing

When building a custom niche
U should make bottom piece have a slope so no water can build up
Or maybe do it with tiles?
Very nice job. It was in the standers of Mike Holmes.
Awesome love watching you.

How does any of that have anything to do with you being a woman?
Another great video. 😊 Thank you.
Love the continued tutorials
Mix 1/2 cup ammonia and juice of 2 lemons and tablespoon dish soap together and add enough baking soda to make a paste. Use this mixture with soft wet rag and scrub your bathtub and it will sparkle
exited its all coming together now, but please upgrade the tub too, the water exit looks rusty
👍
What brand sealant did you use or does the Wedi board specify?
Wow really informative
You should raise the wedi board a 1/4” above the tub, then bring your tile down to the tub. Just in case water gets under there, it won’t wreck the board
Water doesn't affect this board so that would be pointless
that is my question too
"Weedi" board sounds a little too much like ouija board. So I really really hope it's pronounced "Weddi" board. 😨 😂
@@beverlyrbev3890 no, the manufacturer pronounces it "VEE-dee." It's a German company.

How many tubes of sealant did you use? 😄
My guess is 5 tubes in total

The German way of pronoucing would be "Vædy".
The æ like e in vest. But I think it is all ok, if US ppl say Veedy or Weedy 😁
Just how many caulking cartridges did you use? They cost up $15 here in the UK, might have been better to use something like red guard tanking if it costs the same there
Wedi = Weed vs wedding sound/pronunciation..... go for Wed (short e sound) is my vote😃.
What do you do for the transition from wedi to drywall?
You really did beed the crap out of that shower 😅
Probably should clean the edge of the tub real well so the sealant has the best possible chance of bonding to it ;)
Somehow this board looks too flimsy to have heavy tiles attached to it. I would be scared of micro cracks in the future.
Yay again!😁
I really hope it's pronounced "wed-ee" board because the pun possibilities are ENDLESS and would be a missed opportunity lol
Brother last time I checked they have a lip on the tub for a reason..
Are you going to give the tub a facelift?

Can you recommend a video that is organized and has information? Preferably with a person that speaks at normal human speed.
Not for 600 bucks. Outrages price. That doesn't include installation and tile.
