Respect to those who do bathrooms for a living. That is a lot of work! I get it why it costs thousands to get it done professionally. Thanks for this video :)
Thank you so much for sharing all of this wonderful know how! I am half way through my complete gut and remodel of my master bathroom. Just did the copper to pex conversion and the shower body today. Sweating a pipe never went so smoothly until I found your channel. A huge thank you! Cant wait to complete the project and move on to another room.
Max always uses the best soundtracks for your videos. I'm sure it helps you achieve a great looking finished product with recording light boxes illuminating your work area :)
Love this! You have such great ideas and your instructional videos are the best! Thanks for taking the time to keep us posted on your projects as well as helping us do our own. You are appreciated!
Hey Jeff! Love your work, I recall you posting a video on the underfloor heating system you used in this bathroom and now I can’t find it. I remember you saying how great and way to installing it was bc it was a screw in system. If the video has been removed, can you give me the name of the heating system?
Trust me I was hearing the same thing from mine about this house. Things are much better now that I am dedicating my time to it. Cheers! # DIY marriage therapy!
Very cool video, especially love your selection of music. Nice to see the project start to finish of what's to come! Lot going on in that little bathroom behind the scenes
Oh man, everyone getting technical on a teaser for the upcoming series! Jeeesh. Love the new teaser format! I for one like seeing the finished product and look forward to the how-to series on achieving that great look!
Thanks Matthew, figured we would light the fire of the renovation enthusiasts out there to start planning on this type of reno. It is really quite simple to follow this style. Cheers!
Excellent music choice (I particularly like the first song)! This may be the first time I've heard mood music with lyrics on UA-cam. It really fits this kind of time lapse video. 👍
I'd love to see how to video(s) on pretty much everything shower related; the shower pan, tips for the bench, tips on planning out the niche, focus on tile and the edges and any other plumbing tips for the pipes.
Perfect that is all on the way. The niche is especially cool since it has a heated mirror as the back and won't fog up. A perfect mans shaving locationw
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I felt even more respect after seeing behind the scenes. Tolerating those probably hot and blinding lights while working just for a better footage... Thank you!
Ok, ok, ok Jeff. Stop showing off!!! Only 2 things, firstly what 6 JA's disliked this video?? And secondly there better be individual videos on the different installs of this bathroom!!! Until the next one God bless and Dirty Jersey out!!!!
How come only half of the drywall is green and the rest white? Would you recommend doing the whole bathroom in mold resistant, or is regular fine with a good bathroom paint? Great videos btw, really helpful!
This is awesome! It looks like a major workout. We pick up our permit tomorrow so we can start on the bathroom. Couple of questions: 1- how thick does the subfloor under a tiled shower need to be? and 2- What if we can't get the walls perfectly smooth when we tape and mud the new drywall? Would a light texture help cover those mistakes? And how do you put on a little texture?
if you are tiling the floor of the shower you need 5/8 ply then the following options....Schluter premade pan / or/ wedi premade pan/ or/ another 5/8 ply and then pvc pan and sand mix to form base. Those are the traditional options. I will be doing a texture video soon however most bathrooms should only have corners and factory edges so you will be fine getting it smooth. check out our drywall videos if you need a refresher, cheers!
Usually love your videos, but in this one, you left quite a few holes in the drywalls where you didn't put any mud (top of the shower, top of the vanity, side of the vanity) and it drove me nuts. Why didn't you bother to close those correctly? Also, why only partially waterproof the shower?
I thought the same with the greenboard verses the drywall. Id hate to see if there was a water damage or real bad ventilation or condensation that will create mold to grow.
Thanks for all your questions and comments. Please also let us know which elements of this bathroom you are most interested in watching the how to videos on! Cheers!
I love the title you used in the shower and would love to see a how to video on how to install them. Thanks for sharing the video, awesome work! I love what you did to that bathroom! Cheers!I also love the heated floors! And would love to also see a how to video on how you built the sink with the counter top and all, thanks Cheers!
Handling/sealing that mirror recession in the shower. I've got a window (like, a window facing outside) and I'd like to see if I can get any ideas about how to handle it.
I second the shower, particularly the pan and waterproofing. Tiles, niche, bench, heated floors would be great as well. Did you add that floor drain or was it pre-existing? Looked like vinyl flooring, not concerned with getting water on it from shower or elsewhere?
You giving me a false sense of security!! trust me, you would laugh out loud or better yet scream of laughter.. if you would see my patio stairs lol even my dog is looking at me.. seriously what were you thinking!! So if you ever in Hawaii let me know I got work for you!! Hahaha
That might be a great way to call that trip a business expense. cheers! Make sure to follow us on Instagram....we will be doing some visiting with our subscribers when we start the tour.
It certainly is...masculine. I think it looks great and all, but I would have chosen lighter tile, I think. A bit worried about storage in this bathroom as well, but hopefully you'll address that in the videos of the renovation.
Beautiful. Now a question, is there a particular reason for the demarcation in the tiles in the middle back of the shower instead of just continuing the interweave across? I've never seen that toilet cutoff valve before or seen it on the floor. Is it a 90 degree valve? That's one MAD shower head bruh. I want one just to have it even though it doesn't fit in my neighborhood.
we were simply trying to be cheap with the use of the tile. those bad boys were expensive. the sharkbite shutoffs are awesome ! That shower tower is the new trend. get ahead of it and your house will be the envy of the neighborhood. cheers!
we only need to waterproof where the re will be a lot of water in contact with the grout lines. The rest of the shower would be a waste of time and money unless it was a steam shower.
Thank you for the videos! do you have a video on waterproofing a upstairs bathroom floor that is down to the plywood and how to find the elevation it needs to rise to match carpet? its a big ask with fingers crossed!
I would install 5/8 plywood ( have the subfloor video) and then tile using a schluter edge that transitions over the carpet( will be discussing transitions on the next live show July 20 at 10am) A very straight forward install. Cheers!
Thank you for the reply I should have said I'm installing Vinyl floor planks made by Nucore and was wondering if I need to put down a waterproof membrane like Redguard or would 5/8 plywood suffice if the installation is done well with the Vinyl. just really don't want water damage.
Hi Jeff, I'm basically doing the same exact thing in my house now. If I make the niche with backer board and use aqua defense should I get the fiberglass tape and do the corners? Or will aqua defense be enough??
when using cement fiber you should use fiberglass tape and cement before aquadefense in a nook. that is a common failure in homes where water can sit. best not to take a chance. Not as boig a deal on vertical surfaces. cheers!
Hey Jeff, just curious as to why you went with the vinyl snap floor apposed to ceramic. Thanks for the videos for it helps me out daily with our 110 yr old home.
the old house has a crawl space stacked stone foundation and I live in a cold climate. I expect movement that a stone floor could not adjust too. Cheers!
Question - if installing a mortar bed for shower 1 inch, what is YOUR recommendation for installing the membrane, pour mortar first install membrane on top then thinset tile or membrane then pour mortar on top thinset tile? I have seen both, wondering your thoughts pro's and con's? Thanks.
Thanks, I am installing a electric heat mat in the shower is there a method that would be recommended? The mat will be installed in 3/8" bed of thinset cured and then another coat of thinset then tile. thank you in advance. Jay
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I just want to say thanks btw. I followed your tips heavily during the remodel. Specifically in regards to subway tile. I probably went far more complex than a first DIY should, but because of those like you I am super proud of it. Not perfect, but the mistakes are dulled by the perfection in where it matters, which I'll admit took a couple tries and removal of tile to achieve. Thank you for all you do, you truly are an artist and I gained major respect for the trades considering I was more labor and demo oriented prior to now. Now I can competently plan, expand, plumb and do some basic electrical thanks to people like you. I have another to do, so I will be binge watching your channel for some more great ideas that will last!! The first was a large tub, I sorta feel a shower will be a cake walk after all I had to learn, though I doubt that means it will be easy. XD
Have you guys made a video on how to restore a chipped away cement porch? My front porch is degrading fast and is always breaking away small rocks and powder from the cement. How would one go about fixing that?
á se as casas aqui no Brasil fossem de madeira aqui é praticamente 100% de tijolo uma super sujeira pra qualquer reforma...ótimo seus videos muito bom...
I wanted to change up my bathroom and I removed the hideous tiles that were used as baseboards. When putting down baseboards (like in your video) in a bathroom, should I caulk the top and bottom portion? If so, which caulk would be best?
Great question. I would suggest regular painters caulk on the top and clear silicone on the bottom if you want to keep water from getting underneath the wood. Cheers!
Thank you so much for the response! I appreciate your input, and I am so happy that I found this channel! I have been watching your videos for hours on end. I have spent so much money paying people who called themselves pros. I ended up with a nice looking place, only at a quick glance. But when you really take a look: 1) new laminate floors pop very badly in certain areas where I had tile. I asked why it popped so badly, he told me that it will eventually go away. Wrong. Then he decides to take a saw to my new floor to separate the flooring and put glue underneath. You can see where he cut, and it just looks hideous. Then I found out after the fact, by one of his workers, that this was his first time installing laminate flooring. 2) crown molding is separating at every corner/edge. And baseboards are falling apart. They weren’t even painted, I can see the holes with the nails inside. 3) I had them install theater lighting behind the crown molding, and some lights aren’t working in certain spots and the colors of the lights aren’t even the same (daylight, etc.). 4) In my kitchen you can see so many spots that they didn’t seal properly. Right by the stove, the granite countertop didn’t fit properly and there is a HUGE gap from the wall to the countertop. It’s a little over 2”. I can see that he put clear caulking, but it fell right behind the cabinet while some stuck to the granite. They either took advantage of me because I’m a nice person, or because I’m a woman that lives alone. I really wish that I would have watched your videos so I would have known what to look for. This makes me want to learn stuff on my own, so that I can do it without help. I could have saved a lot of money. Now I need to fix what they installed so horribly.
hello there, can't wait for the bathroom videos !!! I want to build a fire pit, I heard that cement crackles under too much heat, what should I use to bound the stones together please ?
Hi we have the link to the farmhouse project for now. The bathroom videos start this Saturday. Make sure your Notifications are on so you don't miss an episode. Cheers!
Excellent work! Won't people get scratched from the live edge vanity while washing their face? Can the bark get wet repeatedly and not fall apart over time?
Hey Jeff, Is it possible to install a faucet designed to mount to the wall of a (vintage clawfoot) bathtub, to the wall of the actual bathroom, above a normal bathtub? We have a beautiful Kingston Brass (it was like $450 new) wall-mount faucet, only to realize that they mean "wall mount as in the wall of the tub", but we are determined to make it work as we just really love the piece. The trouble is that the long threaded stem piece that would normally be going through the hole of a tub is just barely too short to accommodate a 1/2" DurRock and eventually a 3/8" thick tile. Is it acceptable to just extend the stem with a 3/4" threaded nipple and a 3/4" PVC or Galvanized coupler? Are there any risks of doing it this way that we aren't aware of? Or are there other ways to outfit a "tub-wall-mount" faucet to become a "bathroom wall mount" faucet that we haven't thought of? Thank you, Karrie and Rob in Key West FL
Hi Rob, sounds plausible since there is nothing in the valve that needs to be installed in a certain direction to dictate performance. my only concern woulkd be do you have a large enough estucheon cover for the valve to cover the hole needed to use fittings on the supply lines. Just rem,ember to rough it all in and think through the finish so you are not disappointed. Cheers!
Great timelapse! What's the secret to drilling holes in porcelain tile so fast. It took me more than 5 minutes for each hole using a tiny diamond hole saw and a regular drill. Thanks!
Hi Jeff, in your opinion will the peygran tile leveling system work well with the "wood look" ceramic 6"x36" tiles that are prone to having the curve to overcome during install? Wife wants them but after watching your video on the install of those type tiles I'm even more worried of having waves in the floor. BTW beautiful bathroom, wish my renovation would move that quick lol
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thank goodness!!! I was scared to death of trying that tile until I saw your video using they peygran system, as always thank you for your help
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I'm a tiler as well and I was teached always start from the face wall, then do your sides because otherwise from the front you'll see the cuts in the corners. I know about grout and silicon then but it was the rule. I love your work anyway. Bless
light colors and glossy. the amount of light in the room is more important than tile size. any pattern that makes you eye look left and right to follow it help a lot.
I am surprised to see a floating floor in a bathroom, especially over electric radiant heat! Water + electricity doesn't seem wise. There must be more to this. I know you know what you're doing. I guess I have to wait for the slow version.
We are going to turn the industry on its head. The heating coil is insulated and grounded on a GFCI circuit so no worries there and the vinyl is water proof. The best part is that vinyl can be installed as a floating floor and finished as a structural element. cheers!
So water can't get in between the planks? The tongue and groove provides a seal? I expect you will explain this in the install video. Nice to see a successful channel from Ottawa. I grew up in Manotick. I'm surprised you aren't full time doing flood and tornado repair.

Would it be possible if me to join your team and work over the weekends to learn?
sorry dude, I don't work weekends. Cheers!
What a lot of work. I’m exhausted. ;-) great job
LOL, I don't actually move that fast in real life. Cheers!
Where can I find the full videos for this bathroom? Your link to a playlist at the end does not take me to them. Thanks!
Hi we have the link to the farmhouse project for now. The bathroom videos start this Saturday. Make sure your Notifications are on so you don't miss an episode. Cheers!
Excellent work! Won't people get scratched from the live edge vanity while washing their face? Can the bark get wet repeatedly and not fall apart over time?
We will show you how we did the top. there will be no problems with it.
So is my house next lol?!
Perhaps one day we can do a lottery!
Hi Jeff, it is posible to put to slow forward version? It is more nutritional. Thank you
All of the videos we filmed will be released in traditional how to style over the coming weeks. Cheers!
Hey Jeff, Is it possible to install a faucet designed to mount to the wall of a (vintage clawfoot) bathtub, to the wall of the actual bathroom, above a normal bathtub?
We have a beautiful Kingston Brass (it was like $450 new) wall-mount faucet, only to realize that they mean "wall mount as in the wall of the tub", but we are determined to make it work as we just really love the piece. The trouble is that the long threaded stem piece that would normally be going through the hole of a tub is just barely too short to accommodate a 1/2" DurRock and eventually a 3/8" thick tile. Is it acceptable to just extend the stem with a 3/4" threaded nipple and a 3/4" PVC or Galvanized coupler? Are there any risks of doing it this way that we aren't aware of? Or are there other ways to outfit a "tub-wall-mount" faucet to become a "bathroom wall mount" faucet that we haven't thought of? Thank you, Karrie and Rob in Key West FL
Hi Rob, sounds plausible since there is nothing in the valve that needs to be installed in a certain direction to dictate performance. my only concern woulkd be do you have a large enough estucheon cover for the valve to cover the hole needed to use fittings on the supply lines. Just rem,ember to rough it all in and think through the finish so you are not disappointed. Cheers!
Great timelapse! What's the secret to drilling holes in porcelain tile so fast. It took me more than 5 minutes for each hole using a tiny diamond hole saw and a regular drill. Thanks!
I don't have patience for that so i use the hammer drill setting and go high speed . I sacrifice a bit every 4 holes but I like to get things done.
So happy I subscribed as well as being first.
Congratulations and we are so glad you have joined us!
Which liquid water proofing membrane do you recommend? I can't seem to find any specifically for shower/bath in southern Ontario
I prefer the Aqua defense by mapei, However the redgaurd is also a good product. You can find it on our Amazon link in the description below. Cheers!
Why is the exhaust fan so far from the shower? I seems to me it is misplaced!
The fan does not need to be close to the shower to work. I prefer to have it centered in the room. Cheers!
Still working on my next construction joke, it just needs a solid foundation #cheers
Nailed it! Cheers AL.
:p
Hi Jeff, in your opinion will the peygran tile leveling system work well with the "wood look" ceramic 6"x36" tiles that are prone to having the curve to overcome during install? Wife wants them but after watching your video on the install of those type tiles I'm even more worried of having waves in the floor. BTW beautiful bathroom, wish my renovation would move that quick lol
The peygran system is ideal for that situation. They are actually designed to remove the curve. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thank goodness!!! I was scared to death of trying that tile until I saw your video using they peygran system, as always thank you for your help
Hello. question out of blue, but why are you not wearing knee pads?
such a small job does not require protection. I actually work for a living and have really durable knees. Cheers!
the little 4" nub molding by the sink is driving me crazy the seam is in such an odd spot.
not sure what molding you are referring to. perhaps a little clarity?
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY at 12:45
why did you make this center vertical and horizontal double grout line in the shower?
I simply stacked the tile to save on materials. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I'm a tiler as well and I was teached always start from the face wall, then do your sides because otherwise from the front you'll see the cuts in the corners. I know about grout and silicon then but it was the rule. I love your work anyway. Bless
Fantastic work once again Jeff. How many days of work on this part of the project from start to finish?
This project took 10 days of filming. Cheers!
Anyone know what the second song is?
What type of tile is that that you used in the shower?
18 x 36 porcelain. Cheers!
The project has done so quick!....
✌️😄👏🤣
Just a taste test so you know what awesome videos are on the way. Cheers!
Great. song is that original?
We get the music from epidemic sound now. Cheers!
Hi Jeff, for a small bathroom what is the best tile size to use to make it look bigger and brighter?
light colors and glossy. the amount of light in the room is more important than tile size. any pattern that makes you eye look left and right to follow it help a lot.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Thank you so much.
It's even better at 2x speed.
Loving It!
Is it just me, or did anyone else "see" the Wonder Woman Decal @ 9:20?? Maybe I am just old and see what I want to see!! LOL
Cheers, nice !
whats the song at 2:50?
try this link. Cheers! ua-cam.com/video/-cyOHGu-SMs/v-deo.html
Why not waterproof the whole shower?
no need, The tile is so large that waterproofing over cement in areas that will never see the water is redundant. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY oook
no different with tile. grout is porous and all that water on the floor goes to the cable at some point. Cheers!
Love watching your videos, so informative. Any chance you want to come renovate my bathroom next 🤣
Cheers Bill, Glad to hear you enjoy our vids!
Song at 2:50 pleas

Hi Jeff, what laminate do you use for the floor? Great reno btw.
You will have to wait to see the video for that. Cheers!
Hey that was my idea to put wood looking tile in the shower ! Great minds think alike:)
Sure thing!
arruma trabalho ai
You got that right. Cheers!

CHEERS to you too Jeff!
How come your helpers aren't wearing the new uniform Jeff?
The new shorts from our supplier are on the way. Cheers!
I am surprised to see a floating floor in a bathroom, especially over electric radiant heat! Water + electricity doesn't seem wise. There must be more to this. I know you know what you're doing. I guess
I have to wait for the slow version.
We are going to turn the industry on its head. The heating coil is insulated and grounded on a GFCI circuit so no worries there and the vinyl is water proof. The best part is that vinyl can be installed as a floating floor and finished as a structural element. cheers!
So water can't get in between the planks? The tongue and groove provides a seal? I expect you will explain this in the install video. Nice to see a successful channel from Ottawa. I grew up in Manotick. I'm surprised you aren't full time doing flood and tornado repair.
Why , I don’t get why you would time lapse . This video , unless I miss something about your videos being to long . Lol
Those long one's are on the way. cheers!
Great contractor, hideous design.
That isthe funny thing about design. It never looks good to everyone. Cheers!
Love the instructiona videos here but this is unusable
Hi Ann, thanks for the insight. We are trying something new to advertise the projects coming out on video and to reach a new audience. Not to worry the instructional videos are all on the way!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I was already thinking a 5-7 part series on this build. Go Diana Prince!!!!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Good!
Why did you not take waterproofing all the way ?
Also why not finish the tile behind the Mirror ? thats just being lazy
Hi Pedro, all these questions will be answered in the videos to follow. Trust me there are good reasons for each decision made. Cheers!
