      Planning a basement remodel and had a few questions, but I'll post them on the relevant videos. Do you know of any alternatives to DMX that you use in the basement flooring that's available in USA? Should you frame on top of DMX 1 Step (which is available in the US but is fairly expensive) or just use pressure treated bottom boards and use DMX 1 step inside of the framing? I'm looking to do both a carpeted area and a vinyl (maybe electrically heated after seeing your bathroom video)...what subfloor option would you recommend that's available in the US?

    Hi Jeff! I must say I appreciate ALL of your channels and videos so much. My father, an avid DIYer who made a point to try and pass those skills off to his children, passed away in May of this year. My partner and I just bought our first home and are taking on some projects that seem large and nerve racking! Mainly hardwood floor refinishing, subfloor and basement floor installation, etc. But your videos have helped us so much, and even though my Dad can’t be here to help out with the house or teach us what he knows, I feel that I can trust you the way I did him! THANK YOU, your videos mean a lot!

    Jeff, this is the first of your videos I've watched. I plan on watching many more! I truly love how you don't sugar coat things. You don't make it look like everything is perfect first try. You work like how most of us looking to learn will work. Short cuts on wood happen. Mistakes happen. Fix what is wrong and move on. I would much rather learn from someone like you, an honest man, than from some hot shot that tells you that you can be a master in just an hour! Thanks for the realistic teaching and true help for all of us out there!

    2:11:00 crown is one of my favorite DIY jobs. Having an older house, I worked in a step where after the first piece is up, take a scrap piece about 2' long and cut the corner to the right angle/bevel. Then hold that scrap piece into the corner up against the piece already in place. If the angle is off, adjust the saw and re-cut the end off the scrap piece. Keep adjusting the cut until the scrap piece is tight, then use that saw setting to cut the first end of the piece that's going up. You can repeat this step for the other corners. ...also Top Gun 300 is a great painters' caulk.

    "When you pre-drill the holes in the OSB subfloor use Tap Con screws. Prior to driving the screws into the concrete dip each screw into a polyurethane sealant before inserting the fastener into the bottom plates of the wall. Since the Tap Con screws have two different threads (a cutting and tracer thread) the sealant will be deposited on the membrane as it goes through. This helps maintain the vapor barrier that has been penetrated by the fastener." - DMX FAQ

    Nobody is perfect, just a few things:
    I like work with copper better.
    Never use hammer drill in a hammer drill mode to open those holes in the tile. In that little case you bought for $9 bucks, it comes smaller ones, take that smaller and then use the bigger one.
    Like I said nobody is perfect, is an amazing job.

    HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH! I am I'm the process of renovating my basement during this COVID pandemic, and the framing for my basement is done, ( not perfectly) currently in the process of insulation, vapour barrier and drywall. It's an older house so nothing in the basement was level to begin with. Its all so overwhelming and frustrating, but I am trying to get through it. The dry wall nothing is really flush and I have uneven gaps, which I'm sure will be a pain in the you know what, when I have to mud and sand. Oh also installed a bathroom shower base which was hell, tried to self level the section for the basement ofcourse didn't make level for the base so I'm shimming it and still isn't perfect, but I've accepted it. I don't know why I am commenting all this information just needed to vent to someone who knows what they're doing. On a good note it is all one hell of a learning experience, took me 3-4 hours to install 1 of 4 basement windows, but I am happy about it, also made some stairs for the first time, took 6 hours, but after finishing that was all satisfying. So yah, that's where I am right now. Thanks for reading this comment hope you and your family are staying safe, cannot wait to know as much information as you do. Will save me soo much time!!

      @@johnd9357 At the end of the day, the renovation is completed. We have a tenant move in, and everything is going good. Knock on wood. There is alot of things, I have learned during this experience. Every sense this project, I have been eager to learn more and do whatever I can to make something even the simplest things like making coat hangers out of a piece of wood and some hooks, is just so satisfying. It was alot of frustration working on the basement, but definitely worth it. Having a lower back injury makes things hard to do, but I make it work and go at my own pace. There is no rush, just have to take your time and sometimes step back and look at things differently. At the end of the day, someone wanted to rent out the place, and I can collect a nice beneficial income twords the mortgage. Trust me when I say this, if I can do it , ANYONE CAN.

Getting some great results! Learning about vapor barriers and moisture barriers, this and that, I’m in New York. Neighbor south of you, and I love me some Canada!

    Jeff,
    You are without a doubt the best, honest, caring content providers on the net. I have never been on the safety police but seeing as how I’m in this particular field, I would like to protect you so you can keep making videos. The laser level near your face should be treated as a nail gun with the safety depressed. A direct hit for roughly 2 seconds can do permanent damage at the wavelengths used in construction and obviously the response is, well who would do that, BUT scanning your head back and fourth with repeated microsecond exposures is just playing with fire, ESPECIALLY when sight is important to the joy and knowledge you bring to people. Please just consider it and don’t get upset about the comment! Thanks for your help making the industry better!

      I would recommend becoming an electrician or a plumber. Those are good jobs that will never be challenged by deflated labour pressures. Most skilled trades feel the pressure on the hourly rate during times of high levels of immigration. Ticketed trades do not.

      Definitely electrician or plumber. Start helping out now. Go to trade school for 2 years. Work for someone that’s small. Save up for your own van/truck/tools/LLC/marketing. Then start your own company. When you’re 30-35 you’ll have a couple guys doing the work and you running the business.
