Whenever I install mirrors or glass etc.... vacuum suction cups come in handy. They also are relatively inexpensive & makes install items like this a breeze; especially when you have a tight fit. Once you buy them.....you’ll find other uses😉😅. The stuff they come out with now....just amazing.
Cheers Jeff, Max, Matt✌🏼
Another great video. The tips about the correct way to hang to keep the cords clean was great. Most diyers wouldn't think about that.
Who says men cannot multitask.
I owe you so much. I built my own kitchen watching your videos and I never even painted a wall before. You are one of the best things about TH-cam and the Internet. Bravo my friend.
LOL, I had to spit out my gum just to type this response. Cheers!
That's so cool... great job Jeff... 👍
you could tie a knot on the push conect like an extension cord plus tape and tie the mirrors power to the batroom light or fan
I love the idea. Started shaving in the shower to cut time. This beats the hell out of the suction cup one I have that fogs up.
Good stuff Jeff. I really like your videos and specially the fact that you do everything on the camera and also give lots of good tips.
I live in Australia and here we cant DIY water proofing. it needs to be by a certified person. I hope to find someone to certify mine when I want to do my bathroom.
Cheers
We from Anderson sc loved the video thank you helped a lot we wish you well
Great DIY Videos👍
you need heat shrink tubing on all of those push connectors. helps seal out moisture, but more importantly, makes a very solid connection that will be last much longer than tape.
Keeps moisture out? Only if it's marine grade heat shrink tubing. Although in this application, I wouldn't be that concerned. If you don't have the marine grade stuff and some dielectric grease (almost any silicone grease, hell I'm pretty sure astroglide would work, lol), you can make a waterproof connection. I've made 120VAC connections to a submersible pump using those crimp butt connectors with the built in heat shrink tubing and just packed the connector with the grease and it ran fine. Even had it on a GFCI and it never tripped. We were running the pump in salt water so any water intrusion should have been detected by the GFCI.
Now I used Taylor Lube (food grade silicone grease used in ice cream machines which is not what I use it for) but next time I run into that situation I'll probably use Molykote 111 just because it's thicker or more viscous. Probably better at resisting washing. Then again the heat shrink tubing makes such a tight connection that it's probably not an issue. I know... long winded response, but I wanted to give some background.
Love it. Gotta put one of those in my shower when I remodel the master bath. Great video thanks.
yeah, it's only about $1k. def worth it
@@R3VO7UTION now $1200...plus $50 s/h
As an electrician I would always put the transformer in the accessible roof space. Transformers blow all the time.
I'll be reno-ing my bathroom soon and this product is exactly what I need. Thanks for the detail install instructions! Love the vids keep them coming sir!
You will love it. I don't know what I would do without it now that I have one. Cheers!
Great idea jeff, beats the hand held mirror to shave. Shave, wash mirror- repeat.
It's cool to see you doing some innovative stuff, in addition to tried and true methods. Gotta say, though, as much as I'd like something like this, I don't think the risk is with the reward. Seems like a 5 year weak link in a 50 year chain.
Hi Tim, the weak link is in the transformer which is why you want to install it somewhere you have access.
Wait a minute... you shave? Perhaps try standing closer to the razor.😂🤣😆
LOL, I don't shave it all but i was thinking it would be perfect for when I go full cue ball. Cheers!
The motel room I was in had one of these. It worked great - except I could have sworn I heard heavy breathing coming from behind the mirror.
LOL, That was awesome. great way for me to start my day! Cheers!
Nice good job brother 🎼🎶🎺
A beautiful bath Jeff. We suggest in our installation instructions to install the transformers below a vanity sink or in an adjoining space (attic, closet, etc.) and plug them into a switched outlet. The transformer should be accessible either in a cabinet or through an access panel.
This is the non-illegal way to install this mirror.
That mirror looks super overpriced.
Thanks for sharing that
Cheers Hassan!
Thank you for all the amazing videos! I have a quick question. Is it okay to make a shower niche in an exterior wall? I'm worried about insulation.
Will the trap door in the back also give you access to the power converter? Cause they do go bad eventually.
Nice.. but what happens if the unit goes faulty, difficult to remove once glued and tiled over :(
Hi
can you tell me if Mirror is damage or Burning lamp how can change this mirror? 😏🤨
I have a question about mosaic tile. Maybe this is just a dumb idea but have you ever tried to cut the mosaic to the correct size on the sheets then grout them while they’re still on the floor wait until it dries and then stick it up into the thin set. Maybe that would just be extra work but it seems like it would solve not only the sagging problem with the regular motor but also you don’t have to try to dig out the cement between each of the small grout lines in mosaic tile.
Nice
Cheers!
I created a custom kerdi niche for my shower. What should I put over the cut marks that are facing me to hold the thinset for the tile that will go over the edges of the niche
Another awesome video. Thank you!
I have seen you use LePage 2 in 1 sealant in other videos. I have been trying to find it's equivalent for here in the States. Would you say Loctite Seal and Bond is the same? Also do you use the LePage to seal the corners of your shower?
you are right on all accounts. or use kerdi fix. It was designed by the schluter company and is guaranteed to work. Cheers!
I like that tile, where did you get it?
That is the tile I want! Can't find it at Lowes.
If you install a one-way mirror in front of that one with an inch or 2 gap inbetween. You'll get a cool infinity portal look through it with the lights on, although it probably wouldn't work so well for shaving anymore. That's my plan at least
Hi there! I have old ranch with plumbing put under the slab. I hate that as I hate heating up all the dirt worms and dead mice... But that besides the point. I decided to put water (hot, cold and return for pump) in the attic, because there was no other good place to put it. Forget about crashing slab or puttin 3x 1inch holes in the wall studs... I plan to thermally insulate lines (individually) plus, as there is no insulation yet - put insulation on the roof. If course with baffles to make sure that there is air gap for humidity to escape.
Am I crazy or reasonable? What's your bet on what plumbing inspector will say?
Heat-shrink the push connectors!
Hi there! I am doing remodel with insulation redone. I added 2x6 construction (like adding walls... To the walls... Because there was flat wood, house built in 50). I planned to put R21 wool batts there. But now occurred to me... Wouldn't be awesome to add 1inch of closed cell foam before putting bats? There will be room, because new structure is off from excusing wall (was not level) a little. I would consider this to add R6, but more importantly - air tightness (I will be installing ERV later). Crazy, stupid, not worth it or genius? 😏
Hi Jeff,
Thank you your help yesterday. It was my first call. Just want to check with you that charges the charges that went into my credit card for the call.
I got the charge for the call $41.20. But additionally got two extra charges. One for $61.20 and another one for $24.72 , both were done before I finished my call with you. Do you know what is going on?
I’m a big fan. I’d like to enclose my carport for living space. The walls of the house are wood slabs that look like the vinyl siding and the concrete floor needs leveling. Not sure how to do it from beginning to end. Please help! Thanks!!!!!!
Hi Kara, your best option is to become a member and send us pics so I can give you some consultation. Cheers!
It's been a while since I looked at any electrical code, but it used to be illegal to have any plug-in connection inside the wall. That whole setup just makes me cringe from a fire safety perspective.
I believe that since it's low voltage DC, it should be fine. Although I feel that the connections should be watertight and locking, like an automotive connector (which have been proven to be watertight and are very cheap). Now the AC side might be alright since there is an access panel to the plug. I think there should be a locking connection or some sort of permanent connection on the AC side to the DC power supply. Then again, I don't really like the setup either. I'd rather run the DC lines to a panel where I can easily service the DC power supply as well as a disconnect switch for the AC side. Then again, my setup would be rather expensive and requiring more skilled labor. This might be one of those things where the solution is safe enough to meet code while being competitive pricing-wise. But then again, I'm not that familiar with electrical code. If I ever face a questionable electrical problem as it pertains to the code, I either do more research or engineer a way to completely eliminate it.
Pretty sure the 120v cable and power supply are not rated to be inside the wall.
Hey Jeff
Let me know when you're doing the, "Woman's Bathroom," I have a few suggestions.
1. A whole shower full of carnival mirrors... (note... get the ones that make us look tall and skinny).
2. Make sure the mirrors also have a filter.... soft lighting that take off 20 years... maybe 30!
3. Possibly include a voice feature... mmmm I'm visualizing Sean Connery telling me I look amazing!
4. Okay, delete suggestion #3, it's a little creepy!
Looking forward to that video!
Hi Shelley, we are doing a massive walk in shower later this year. sure to be designed along your specific needs. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY can't wait, I'll be 👀. Btw are you sure you weren't a surgeon in another life? When I try to cut a straight line with a box cutter, it looks something like this... 〰
LOL LOL Sounds like a winner
This is the kind of thing that is "right up my alley". Tuck tape works of course, but some 1/2" shrink tubing with internal adhesive and a heat gun would be "trick".
You could also work that LVD circuit into the AC circuit with a small relay... or just switch the AC side of the power supply with the shower lighting or other bath lighting.... or even to the shower fan... because there shouldn't be condensation on the mirror unless and until the RH%/temp triggers the auto-fan start.
Additionally, as a radio operator, home theater and audio freak, I have a complete loathing for switch-mode power supplies (SMPS). They are notorious for radio frequency interference that can/will dirty up the "air ways" and also in some circumstances the AC supply with back-feeding of the square wave switching signal....
I would not mount that power supply in the wall. If you take a bit of extra trouble to either mount the power supply remotely and extend the LVD wiring into the cavity (Amazon, et al. can locate the 5mm x 2.1mm (or similar) extension cords, or simply cut and solder in some nice heavy wire to keep DC voltage drop minimized....
I have built DC power centers at my home theater site, my network, et al. wiring closet, and other key areas where I HAD clusters of "wall warts" and other SMPSs... So far, I have eliminated over 50 separate noise making power supplies in favor of either larger linear power supplies, OR using these Solar Controllers that THINK the AC power I feed them is from a solar panel array, and produce super clean DC power.... at whatever DC voltage I want. And I can take say, a 28 VDC master supply and distribute it out via staged linear voltage regulators to get 19VDC for monitors, 12VDC for radios, and lots of other electronics, and 5VDC for lower power electronics, USB charge/power centers, etc.
Oh yeah.... I am semi-retired, but put food on the table for a couple of decades doing IS/IT design, installation, and support. That's why I went nuts on this response to the cool bathroom "toy".
very true!
Wow, you are allowed to run those wires inside the wall?
How would someone service that electrical device, power supply, or connections?
It appears it will be behind tile on the edge when this is finished.
I see drywall on the other side.
He said at the beginning that he was installing a trap door on the other side of the wall as that is the next room to get renovated
@@xer0334 I hope he doesn't nick the wire cutting in the trap door.
Wait, do mirrors have a color? Let’s *reflect* on this
#cheers #gary
Cheers Al, nice one!
So I like the idea. But that price tag. Plus, I think they need to sort out their electircal connections. A single connection for the entire mirror, which utilizes a built-in plastic clip would make a lot more sense, imo. Still, it is a neat idea.
how do you turn it on and off?
how will you replace the lights if they fail,will these be accessable via the trap door?,i know you are gonna say,they are LED's,but even LED's can fail :-)
Hi Ronny, the led's are rated for 20 years if left on the entire time. I can always replace form the back side if needed. Cheers! Sometimes the luxuries in life come with the extra cost of maintenance.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thanx jeff,i have the same mirror,but the big size 1m20, it still has fluressent tubes,maybe work out how to change them into LED
would there be enough air in the wall to cool down that psu brick from over heating ? just wondering,over here they wouldnt allow that because of the fear of fire. plus our code wouldnt allow that item in a shower which is a shame
Hi Lenny, it is an interior wall of an air conditioned house. So yes. The manufacturer says it could go in attic if necessary, but then it will need replacement often I would think!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY i do keep forgetting you have aircon
How do you activate the light? Switch? Where is it located?
the switch is located in the hall outside of the bathroom. Or you can just leave it on and it acts as a night light. 20 years of life the second way!
oh boy... how shaving in the shower could take minutes off my morning routine
and it is smoother on the skin and it extracts the follicle so you get a better shave. Cheers!
And it's perfect for trimming! No mess to clean
Do it now. Fog free mirror for $10. I shave my face and balding head every other day in the shower, and it's the best. Also highly recommend Cremo to shave with.
Why not just use some hot glue to keep the connectors from pulling apart?
Great video!
that would work too! Cheers!
It is cool, but I would prefer a removable suction cup fogless mirror for shaving.
You will change your mind once you have tried this out. it is awesome. Cheers!
whats the best thing to use to clean off minerals from the mirror
try vinegar
We suggest only water and mild-soap along with a Scotchbrite type pad if necessary.
Is it up to code in Ontario to run plugs through the wall like that? Man, you guys have mentioned how lax it is there with code but this is awesome if so.
It's going to be inside an access panel with a removable cover, so yes the recipitcal can be there. Kind of like a wall mounted TV in a recesse.
as long as the plug is accessible it is no problem. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY So I CAN do this as long as I have a trap door in the wall (run tv plugs)? thank you Jeff!!
The link/thumbnail at the end is broken.
it goes to the first video in the series/playlist
So this mirror will be constantly on?
The mirror is smart technology which includes a sleep function and a touch screen.
If you want it to be. Or you can wire the plug box to a switch. Cheers!
yikes that tile install isn't your best work but it'll do for a farmhouse ;)
You're not the only one who noticed. I can't tell if it's just colour differences or if the corner edges really are lined up so poorly. Kind of surprises me.
in this case it is a 1880 farmhouse. we have yet to do the silicone work in the corner. when it is all completed it will look perfect. Cheers!
@@thebundok my guess is that the walls weren't plumbed so it slightly bows in as it goes up. makes sense for the houses age but could have been addressed nevertheless.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY i know. i just don't think the gap is very uniform and kind of looks like they are all on different planes. not trying to be a negative nancy, still love your content ;)
Poor prep work and expecting silicone to hide poor craftsmanship...nice. Lol
Shrink wrap won’t come apart
I tried to join the DIY crew using PayPal but I’m getting the “spinning wheel of death” Any suggestions?
Hi Cindy, not sure what to suggest except perhaps try with a different method of payment. not everything works from every country. Cheers!
Okay, no problem. I’ll try again. Cheers! Cindy
It's all fun and games, and then you realize that heated mirror cost more than your first car.
Why do so many tiles line up to the right of the niche?
they are large format tiles, not individuals.
the tile is 18 x 36. Cheers!
That’s great idea until I looked up the price for this mirror, $800 for 18”x18” wow
Wow 900 bucks 😳
What licenses do you have ? Do you work under an llc?
Why spending a lot of money for an electric mirror when here in Japan you can easily buy a transparent sticker to put it on the mirror and it will never go foggy with just a couple of bucks
Cool mirror, but wow expensive.
Video earned a thumbs up just for saying "niche" right. "Nitch" my hairy arse
reminds me of a budgie cage
Cheers!
common problem with mirrors, they rust along the edges, especially in bathrooms.
Why on earth would anybody want a mirror in the shower? That sounds like a nightmare for a self conscious person like myself
Jeff: "So I can shave in the shower"
Ooooh
LOL, The whole idea around this is eliminating that 5:00 shadow problem by shaving in the steam. Cheers!
Those of us that have had a suction cup mirror drop on your foot appreciate this. Now to convince the wife that my hammer “accidentally” went through the shower wall.
Jeff, you could have used a Hot Glue Gun to hold the cable in there, or a super glue.
How's the car maintenance going??? 😆😆😆
Too early for me to get this joke. Cheers!
gravity doesn't exist. lmao
Anyone else see the price of the mirror and come right back to the video.
Yup that mirror is great but for that price, I'll just wipe of the fog!
Oh shit Minecraft stone wall
my.. we both need to work on our pot bellys...
I am starting to think of mine as a trophy! not so hard to maintain. Cheers!
To anyone reading this today, I'd steer clear of this product. It comes at a massive price of $400, isn't very safe and many customers are reporting it takes 15mins for it to heat up. Not worth it at all.
I on the other hand really enjoy my mirror and the close shave it gives me.
to much steam from the water to effectively shave in the shower bud. LOL
So the brilliant waterproofing system this company has devised is a silicone bead around the edge, and no service access, and all the weak wiring harness issues. No thanks !
I would argue that silicone on stone, tile, or glass is the primary moisture barrier in tons of home applications; kitchen counters, bath tubs, etc. However, I agree on the wiring harness. A single point of connection, that includes a built in plastic clip (similiar to how electrical connections in the engine compartment of a vehicle are done) would be infinitly better.
All that careful waterproofing so any ingress under the tiles is covered and there’s a weak spot with nothing stopping water going straight into the walls except a silicone bead? It’s like frameless windows with silicone seals, they work perfectly in theory until the building starts moving and the silicone gets a few imperfections and all of a sudden you have a leak. Just could have been done a lot better I reckon.
@@kungfusing1 you could make that argument about anything where kerdifix is used, or even with the entire wedi system (well known and trusted) as it relies on a a sealant to seal joints. it isn't as uncommon as you think, and IF the right kind of sealant is used (what he is using ISNT just silicone), it shouldn't be any weaker than other waterproofing methods. i mean, what is a paint on barrier like red guard or aqua defense but a different type of sealant.
Sorry over 400 dollars for a mirror that's to much
That's a thousand dollar mirror. Hard pass.
It is not for everyone, but man is it awesome. Cheers!
I find that most things I wouldn’t spend money on are pretty great haha. Cheers, Jeff!
K S hopefully in a few years the price will be greatly reduced when it’s not such a new tech
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY no its not for everyones budget
I gotta stop watching
This channel ... 😢
the tile job looks terrible .. i hope the grout will hide those terrible gaps, the angle of gap on the left side where back wall meats shower head/comtrol wall...
The back wall should have been tiled first so that the shower head wall tile overlaps the left edge of the back wall tile providing a clean look from outside the shower ( the view we were looking at)
The mirror in the shower is the worst idea I've ever seen ...
Those electronics won't last forever... What you gonna do when power supply dies ... Without access from other side you would have a nighmare repair to do... Not worth it. I would never recomend this or alow it for one of my customers...😢
