Doug. Your work in the bathroom is just beautiful. Looks so well done. You don’t owe anyone explanation of your work schedule. Just enjoy your creativity.
Doug don't beat yourself up about what you show us. What you do show us is top quality work!! Perfection!!
I love to watch Maverick working with Dad!
When I don’t see you guys I go into a worry mode.. That’s how much y’all mean to me!!! Love ❤️ that shelf!!
Doug, it's such a joy watching you work. You may think it's boring but I don't! You and Ashley are teaching your children to be exceptional in everything. I wish there were more people like your family in this world.
I agree you learn for free
I also agree that something special and very unique
Doug and Ashley, I have learned so much by watching your home improvements! Your work is impeccable. Thanks. Your beautiful kids are growing, so fun to have watched them grow over the years.
Ashley’s idea is genius. I hate reaching over a toilet! Your work is so meticulous. Especially for and older home. Real perfection.
Yes, a thousand times yes!
I totally agree with Ashley with the leaning over the toilet being gross.The both of you seem kind of tired, maybe you could treat yourselves to a small vacation?
Yes you guys need a break. take a road trip
I agree with Ashley!
If you are going to use a shower curtain instead of a shower door, get a curved shower rod and that will make the tub feel roomier.
Ashley’s idea makes perfect sense. I wish mine was like that.
Hi Doug Ashley & kids, you have a lot done Doug.That little Maverick is just so cute & precious.That is going to be a nice B/R.I so enjoy your renovations! 🌷💕🌷Have a nice week!
I think you both are doing well as far as time management. You are together as a family for many more hours than people who's work takes them away from home. Varying your daily chores and taking fun breaks to show the kids other things helps make a harmonious and balanced home. You are great parents, teachers, spouses and hard workers. You owe us no explanations! The work will all get done in due time. We love peeking in as if we were your relatives and close friends here to praise your work and cheer you on!
As far as the tub and elbow room... buy the shower curtain that bows out and you'll gain that space back. Maybe?
It doesn’t matter what you all are working on to me, I don’t mind if you jump around. I just love watching you all. 😊
Wow!!! From that cute little baby in the carrier sitting next to his parents to this wonderful young man helping his dad do plumbing…. I got a little misty. Isn’t it amazing how 3 feet can completely change a room. That bathroom is amazing. And guys making these videos is like having 2 jobs. One to do the work and another full time setting and resetting the camera. And let’s not forget the time to edit. Taking a little break from the details is just necessary some times. Looking good guys. This may be the best redo yet. Thanks for ur time and dedication.
I’ve never seen anything like this,very interesting 👍🏽
Great job Doug
I almost put our shower faucet on the opposite wall, but at the last minute, I reverted back to the plumbed wall. I've been regretting that decision ever since.
Nice job, you guys.
Maverick is such a good helper!! He’s taking his roll very seriously. Learning from the best. Good job Daddy and Maverick!
When I saw that shower panel, I thought woohoo, no need to add a stability bar how cool! 😆
Thank you, Doug and Ashley, for all the work and time you invest in filming, editing and posting these vids to share with us. You are exceedingly appreciated by this ol' gal. I enjoy all the various projects you share, because as long as I'm breathing, I want to learn, especially from people like you, that consciously and intentionally think through the steps you need to take, to complete your projects, big or small, to achieve the best results possible. Bless Your Hearts.
Great Step Towards A Great Bathroom Mr Doug & Ms Ashley!!
Doug, you look so drained in this video. I've never seen you look as if you're sick of all the work. I'm sure it's the heat draining you. It's taking its toll on everyone. I was glad to see a smile when you were thinking with your arm on the shelf, lol. I hope you get some rest and take a Doug day without working. We love your videos, but take your time in all this heat. The shower and tub are looking great so far. Hang in there guys.
Doug and Ashley, you all are doing great! I love how Maverick pitched in and put the plastic tubing in the connecting pipes! 😊
Doug, I was a bit concerned today. You seem a bit flat and over it ? I hope you're doing OK and that it's just a bit of burnout . At least you smiled when leaning on a shower, which in time you may get used too. I've been watching for years and could definitely tell , chin up 😊
Use a curved shower curtain rod. Game changer.
I see the tiredness overwhelming you two and it is time for a break, go to the beach, have a picnic, or the movies anything relax and enjoy some time off. Love you guys
If you install a curved shower curtain rod, it will feel roomier and not as closed in with the shelf on the side. Love watching your channel and seeing Maverick helping Doug with the plumbing was so cute! You guys are awesome! Ashley, you are right with your suggestion of having the shower fixtures on the opposite side of the toilet/sink. Great idea!
@ 4:25 ish....I agree with you! I did the same thing. I installed brass stubouts for our toilets and our sinks. I know nobody will really see the ones under the sink or care about the toilet, but I personally think having the pex pipe stick out the wall looks cheap. It's the little things that make your home look like a quality build, in my humble opinion. 😊
I total agree with Ashley, I hate leaning over a toilet to turn on the shower.
You and Ashley are doing a great job with your home. You are so professional. You can tell that you take pride in doing the job right. Can’t wait to see what’s next
Great maneuver getting out from behind the tub😂
Hotels have the shower curtain rods that bow out and give extra elbow room. If you are doing a curtain vs. glass doors that could be an easier option than replacing the walls. Looks good!!!
Install one of those curved shower curtain rods and it’ll seem less confined, even with the shelf. Personally I love that shelf!
If you want to feel like the tube is wider install the bow style shower curtain rod. It gives you more elbow room in a standard tub. Looking forward to the finished room when you can “get er done”.
You guys are my favorite YT channel! Love ya!
Thanks!
Plumber/contractor husband loved those 3-4 piece tub and showers. They never leak, clean up so nicely, always look good. So much less hassle than tile. Tile looks good for awhile but ends up needing to be sealed, grout needs special cleaning, can mold, can leak. Good choice!!!
Your floor has resin in the wood - the plastic has resin ; that pad ( glad you installed ) is there to ensure any movement in the future won't cause a squeak. I worked for Sterling / Kohler for many years. trust me - they can squeak and will - more on OSB board but they will - and when they do - it's "did you install the felt mat " to which folks would say - what felt mat ?
Maverick is the most adorable assistant ever. ❤ He is growing so fast.
Good job! You can only do what you can do! You will adapt to the shower! Keep on charging, the home is shaping up!!
Many projects at the same time, but little by little you will finish them and everything wil be very nice and well done.🥰
I love watching you two work I look forward to each video dont get discouraged or pressured by what people say I think yall do a great job this is your home it should fit your style I love the kids bedrooms great job so do what fits yall not the viewers cause when it comes down to it its yall that will live there keep doin what you're doin I'm just happy to see what yall come up with next 👍
Hello from Athens , Greece. Doug you look frustrated and exhausted. Take a deep breath, projects will get done when they get done. You and Ashley are two of the hardest working people on TH-cam, as always great progress.
Caulkless install. So cool.
I like that back tub shelf as it also doubles as a hand hold to steady oneself in the tub. Good choice as far as I am concerned.
Ashley you’re right, I hate leaning over a toilet too!
More people should design things your way…👍
Great job! You guys are fantastic. Set your priorities as you have to. Switching faucet to other wall was a great suggestion. 😊😊 I love it!
You mentioned being behind. I really enjoy watching your home renovations more than the 2nd home. When you’re ready to work on the other, I’ll be more invested in it, but prefer watching your home renovation first. Hope that makes sense. Love the look of the bathroom so far. The plumbing looks so neat, as well! TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
Oh I am really liking that look of that bathtub and the surrounding around it looks really nice. I also like that you got all of those pipes installed and things screwed into the wall, so great you did all of that work and so sorry that you are behind in all of this but you will catch up eventually. Have a wonderful rest of your day, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂😍🤗👋👍💜💜
Looking good. I'm dreading replacing my bathtub. I've never done it.
When we were able to buy a condo not yet built, I thought 'GREAT--now I can finally have a whirlpool tub! Silly me! At 73 and a 74 year old husband with titanium rods in his legs due to cancer that showed up after my tub idea, I now wish I had gotten one of those senior walk-in tubs! Sometimes decision factors change much quicker than one thinks.
Our house was built in 1960 and mom asked that they put the tub faucet on the opposite wall from the toilet so it would be easier to wash our hair in the tub an not have the toilet in the way.
Ashley-you are absolutely correct! Yuck. We moved house last year-downsized-and stretching past the toilet to start the shower drives me crazy!
You both seem a little down. I hope that things have not got you feeling depressed doing all this work. You are doing a great job I look forward to your videos every week
Pro tip: (not for you, you have a caulkless tub). When caulking a tub to the wall, always fill the tub at least halfway with water, and leave the water in until the caulk sets firmly. That way, if there is any deflection in the floor from water weight, it will already be accounted for. Also, always use waterproof (flexible) caulk, such as silicone, polyurethane, or butyl, as it will stay flexible for many many years. NEVER use latex caulk, even 'siliconized' latex. Latex will become brittle and crack in a few months. I hope this tip saves someone the grief of having to deal with water damage. And as always, thank you Doug and Ash for sharing!
Yes this is not for this tub combo, but great advice. Also when caulking run 2 straps of painters tape. 1 down each side of where you want the caulk to be. Apply caulk. Use a dry wall mudding knife to smooth out the caulk. Then pull tape down or up and away at an angle to form nice crisp edges.
Maverick is a great helper 🥰
My contractor is installing the water control on one end of our shower, and the shower head on the opposite end. No hot or freezing water on your arm as you turn on the water
I like the fact that water business of the tub/shower is opposite of the toilet. That subway tile backing looks great. I hate that we’ve always had to buy over the shower head shelves for our bathrooms. An alternative I just tried is putting aspirin g tension shower rod in our shower close to the wall that creates a shelf of sorts for the shampoos, conditioners, with some waterproof hooks to hang wash clothes, sponges on. I love the shelf that you got with your tub.
I AGREE WITH YOU about the location of the valve for the shower/tub SO SMART!!
Wow, if Doug is satisfied you're doing something! I think the shelf will be fine. Belle and Maverick will be the ones using it and he can put his toy boats on it and she can let her lizards babies hangout on it!
You both are the best and your children are so helpful 👍🏽
Glad this part went smoothly for ya.
Take care
I like not reaching over the toilet to get to the shower controls. That was a stroke of genius.
I also like not have a wax ring. Nice design on that bathroom guys.
To feel like you have more space in the shower, I would suggest using a curved shower curtain rod - I did that in a very small tub/shower in a travel trailer and it made a world of difference.
Get a curved shower curtain rod for more space.
Bravo!!
It all looks great. Relax on the schedule. It took us 5 years to remodel our house. You are gifted with talent. Enjoy the process.
Nice to see you installing german quality equipment. 👍👍👍Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany. 🙋♀😉
Thanks for the info about the wall mount toilet. I'm with Ashley-- reduce the cleaning! The tub shower surround is way more practical than tile which is expensive, grout gets moldy, and goes out of style. Smart to put the shower controls so you don't have to lean over toilet! If the shelf is a problem, you can get a shower rod that bows out to make it feel more spacious at shoulder height.
Yeah! It wouldn’t be a complete weekend without you! Going to watch video now but I can imagine it will be WELL DONE TEAM💕(I was right 🎉)
Hi Doug n Ashley,
Ohhh that bathroom is gonna be awesome, y’all never disappoint!
I really like the surround tile look. Maverick done a great job too!
It’s always so nice to see you guys. Be safe, stay happy and God Bless
dear friends ❤
Hi Ashley and Doug, the bathroom is coming on lovely. It’s nice to have a bath as well as shower. Your attention to detail pay’s off when everything fit’s plumbing wise. And I agree with Ashley about the shower and tap’s being on the other side from the toilet.
The bathroom is coming out so nice !!! Don’t worry about what order you attack projects…. We like watching whatever you’re working on 👍👍
Totally understand the issue with toilet and plumbing fixtures in tub.
I would recommend getting a curved shower curtain rod. You'll be surprised how much the shower/tub will be more roomy!
Hello Doug and Ashley I like a man who listens to what his wife wants 😊good call on the shower.
Looking really good and you can skip around all you want, it's enjoyable to watch all the progress. Wish my shower fixtures were on the opposite side now too, good planning Ashley.
There have been so many problems along the way, just ripping out the floor joists in the living room would have been a show stopper for alot of people, you have dealt with so many of those
Being 71 yrs. old, that shelf is a multipurpose grab bar, I love it!!! Blessings.
Ashley’s request for the placement of the shower plumbing is serendipitous because I was just voicing that very same thing. The shower valves are always between the toilet and the shower. Really inconvenient. Great idea Ashley, while you have the opportunity.
Add a curved shower curtain rod and you’ll get your space back.
It looks great! Quit over thinking it Doug. It will work out
We moved all our plumbing for the shower/tub to the other side as well. Try washing a dog or kid when leaning over the toilet to get to the plumbing. Nope - and where we have a tub - doors are gone. Hate those doors for a million reasons. Expensive shower curtain works great!
Whew, thought I missed y’all!
Love the bathtub install. You will never ever have mold in the grout problem.
Lookin good y’all! Doug I always love seeing your plumbing work! Soooo neat! Love y’all!
It's so nice to see Maverick helping Doug. You can't beat a nice fresh bathroom. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤
Y'all make the schedule, y'all get to change it when things come up. Y'all got this.
It makes so much sense to have the faucets in the area with the least obstacles for ease and safety. It's painful to slip and bounce off the toilet getting out of the shower.
Love your videos! Really sorry you have to deal with such silly comments from other viewers. Keep doing what you do Lots of love Sxxx
Great idea putting the water for the shower on the opposite side from the toilet…wish my bathrooms were designed that way👍🏼
I lucked out that the tub is on the opposite side of the room in my Apt. with 3 grab bars, much safer than most bathrooms.
Yay Ashley…no leaning over the toilet to turn on the bath water!
Agree about the shower plumbing! And you guys do sound tired. Maybe you need some time to relax. Don’t wear yourselves out! We would miss you too much!
I really like the seamless look of the surround . You always do the best work, and im always glad to see y'all.....hugs
You can mitigate most of the space taken up by the shelf by purchasing a curved shower curtain rod. It makes a lot of difference!
Maverick is a great helper/ plumber ❤❤
Coming together beautifully 😊 loved seeing sweet Maverick helping dad
I haven't commented in a while but I watch and like every video. Just wanted to let you know again that you all are doing an awesome job at this journey called life. I can tell this bathroom is going to be really nice!
I think it is going to be awesome as you always do.
Things are coming along great! You two work so hard! I want you to make me a promise - when you get the house finished, take at least two weeks off (or longer) and do absolutely nothing. I mean nothing! Y'all deserve some good rest :)
Such hard workers with a lot of knowledge and skill!
Not everyone can add a splash of humor to a bathroom reno but you had some funny moments there. It's fabulous as always you make it look easy ... almost. Great job so far.
