For those interested in testing out a bidet cheaply, they sell on Amazon these $20-50 units that dont require any electricity, have a sprayer that can adjust for rear and front for the ladies, and mount underneath the preexisting toilet seat. I've installed a few.
22:44 I really love this old house and ask this old house. But this old house is just a little bit better because I get to see how things are done. Then, after they are done, I like that the customers always ask questions. Then I get to find out what to expect if I ever have to do something that I see on the show.
I love this show. Now that my husband has passed away. I depend on this advice to get things fixed by myself. Because, I find contractors take advantage of me. It sad to say
I bought one great one at Costco for $350.00. Would recommend it to all. We just bought a house that does not have an electric outlet so that will be an added cost but worth it.
My garage shop is just as organized. Someone needs something, go in, turn left, turn right and find what they want. Two of us drive crew cabs with ARE caps and just as organized (Fire Marshal Office).
I recently got that $150 American Standard bidet seat, powered purely by a knob and the pressure of the water. No power. Sure that's room-temp water and no heated seat, but the price is right, and I use like 1/4 the TP I used to, purely to pat dry.
Actually if you DIY, alot of these things become really affordable. Ive worked in mansions. Theres no difference in paint or tile. Its just style. And dont forget some rich people have zero taste :)
They used wire mesh and it's 5000 psi, I think they will be fine. Floating it with steel trowel initially may lad to spelling but only time will tell. No control joints is a bigger issue.
I have one the $40-50 units from Amazon, and they work perfectly. Sure, it doesn't have heated water, but there is no discomfort at all with the cold water. I believe that your "nether regions" have little sensitivity to cold.
Again with the primer I do not like using the two-in-one garbage either I like to use primer and then we'll use the paint or whatever I'm using on the wood or metal depending on you know depending on what it is depends on what you do
This is so needed in the dance community! I am so glad you’re not one of the OGs who’s leaving the space! I really wanna see Sean Lew. He’s one of my absolute favorites!
You know people that may be a little hard work to sledgehammer some cement slabs into little rocks shall I say but it is very satisfying to do. But I do not like jackhammering. It's a little bit more work to do without the Jack wall a little bit more than a little bit of work to do without the jackhammer but I like doing it without the jackhammer some people don't like to use it cuz they're scared of it I don't like to use it because I don't like it
Costco sold some bidets for like $200 and they have great features. Dryer, moving spray, heated seat, warm water, adjustable spray from stream to flat… $700 for that seat is nonsense.
@Matt_76 no more than would be in your normal toilet. the arm doesn't stick out all the time, only when you turn it on. So unless you're poo'ing while running the bidet, there's no issue. The one I have doesn't even have an arm that sticks out, it just opens a nozzle in the back and sprays forwards. Was like $25 on amazon. Now it feels weird to go to a bathroom that doesn't have one. They talk about it like not having heated water is horrible, but it's really not that bad unless your plumbing is so bad that's it barely above freezing or something.
He kind of misspoke, the GFCI receptacle is counter-top level at the sink, it's unusual to have a baseboard level receptacle in rang of the toilet. Although it's generally no problem to install one or use an extension cord if you're renting.
As they mentioned the reason they don't build concrete roads in New England is because of the salt? The town Salt truck is going to get salt on that driveway. The salt on her car is going to end up on the driveway. I mean salting driveways and walkways is how you make them safe. I would have thought asphalt would be a better option.
I'm in rural Ohio and have a large concrete pad outside of the garage connected to my gravel driveway. We park in the garage so we never salt but the previous owners did and the spalling is bad in some areas. I think you could prevent that if you used a concrete densifier and a good sealer. My last house had an asphalt driveway and I absolutely hated it. In the summer, we were always tracking bits of tar into the house or tiny stones that would stick to our shoes. Sealing the thing every couple of years... Filling cracks... Etc They don't use salt on our road, just sand, so we aren't bringing a lot of salt from the road. However, there are pros and cons to every surface. The state route near us was surfaced with concrete for about 30 miles as a test back in the '90s. I don't know what they did to it but it seemed like it held up great. No huge cracks, no potholes, and no orange barrels every single year or while they resurface like with asphalt. They did just resurface with asphalt last year and they're already making repairs to it.
I grew up in MN, and we had a concrete driveway, which is common in most moderate to large MN cities. I have never noticed any issues like what you're suggesting from salt being carried in from a car onto a driveway. If they plan to salt their driveway, then they can probably find a salt that is less harmful to the concrete.
Bought mine during the great TP shortage and lovin it. Don't need heated water here in Florida so I got the base model.

Costco(and other stores) has Kohler and BioBidet seats available in the $200-$400 range. Great for elderly, post surgery patients(like me)
I've got one. It works pretty good.

Yep I have a Moen one got from Amazon for $95. No bells and whistles, just a clean b-hole.
Yeah I can't believe they only discussed these super expensive models that need electricity 🙄
I love this show. Now that my husband has passed away. I depend on this advice to get things fixed by myself. Because, I find contractors take advantage of me. It sad to say
Sorry for your loss. ❤
The financial wizard and the master painter !😊
Come do my house I have the 💰💰💰💰😊
I bought one great one at Costco for $350.00.
Would recommend it to all.

After the light sand on the primer did they clean up with dry or damp terry cloths?
Slab should have control joints.
Love them bidet. Nice clean fresh feeling.
you can tell Richard has them installed in his house.

Who cares? Why the hell would you share that? Gross troll shut it
This old house has become where the rich go for advice!
Actually if you DIY, alot of these things become really affordable. Ive worked in mansions. Theres no difference in paint or tile. Its just style. And dont forget some rich people have zero taste :)
Bidet is life.
Yeah because you don’t have a life!!
Dumb. Real dumb
Will the bidet fit not a standard toilet but will it fit an ADA toilet that is more oval?
no rebar in the old slap to the new one....LOL
Why the lol? The driveway doesn’t need doweled in to the existing so it can move freely with frost heave
They used wire mesh and it's 5000 psi, I think they will be fine. Floating it with steel trowel initially may lad to spelling but only time will tell. No control joints is a bigger issue.
With those added bidets seems like aot to keep clean too all around the back of the toilet
Just get a hand shower bidet and connecting it to the plumbing.
I like spray paint cuz when you're done using the can up you get a glass marble at the end of it

I agree, that 2in1 crap is just a sales gimmick. Use real primer then top coat..
Only problem with a broom finish is its impossible to sweep, wish i never did my garage aprons.
Leaf blower 👍🏼

I saw that new toilet
Never replace your old toilet if possible. The new ones just don’t flush as well with the lower water volume.
I replaced a toilet recently. The new one flushes way better than my old one did. I think the design of the tiolet internals has improved.

There's no plumbing in my house, so where would all the poop go when I flush this thing?
Tf? Shut up, gross troll

Deoderizer, pressure adjuster, etc.
instead of faffing around with toilet seats you can buy a handheld bidet wand anywhere from 50-90 bucks
So, let's say you had a Taco Bell.. is there gonna be spatter all over the bidet after the explosion
Obviously put a clorox puck in the back keep it fresh and poo stain free💩

Did he say an GFCI is unusual in a bathroom?
He kind of misspoke, the GFCI receptacle is counter-top level at the sink, it's unusual to have a baseboard level receptacle in rang of the toilet. Although it's generally no problem to install one or use an extension cord if you're renting.
