I would like to see this project start to finish on your website. I’m subscribed to the “geek” level. Would like to see how you put in the concrete and build out the bathroom.
It will be added to geek collection in a month or so, But I’m still building this in real time Tomorrow plumbing & editing for next video 👍 stay tuned Thanks for joining my courses 👍
This definitely took longer than Steve thought it would. It always does. Even though it is no fun, it really does save you a ton of $$$ in the long run when you do it yourself. ❤❤❤
Hi I'm a plumber and the way its supposed to go is that test tee should face the way the pipe is running under the concrete, but it doesn't always work out that way but in general that how its supposed to go
Why are you planning on floor leveler? I am working on such a build. Our plan is to pour concrete in first, and then, when it is still somewhat wet, pack mud bed (mortar only) at the desired slope. We are putting the shower drain into the corner so that you don't have to stand on the shower drain while using the shower. The heating cable will be zip tied to fiberglass re-bar.
Great way to do it 👍 I’ll be putting a cork underlayment (1/4”) under heated wires after 2” foam and a 3” layer of high strength concrete, Floor leveler is simply easier in my opinion. Floor level to shower area, then mud pack to center shower drain 👍
@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher I did a bath floor by fastening the thin Hardie backer to the wood subfloor; then tape the heat cable to the tile backer; then poured floor leveler, and tiled over that. I worked very well.
I'm in same process with a wheelchair user and have done this before. Drain at the end where rain shower head is is best so your chair is not wobbling around while straddling the drain. You get a gradual decline (1/4"/ft) to the drain at the end rather than a steeper decline on four sides to the center drain.
Man seems like alot of work just for a curbless shower. I'm sure it will turn out nice though. I did a pocket door that was framed back into a shower. Was concerned about the cheap 1x on pocket door frames to support tile. Added extra 1x6 in between the 1x4s on the frame. Keep up the videos!
I know that was a 15 amp circuit and knowing that you're in the basement wiring will be extremely easy. I did laugh every time the breaker would trip while you was using those saws 😂
It’s not a given in direction for sure But you can find out by opening up a clean out (if you have one) and put a snake down and feel how far down and what direction it is.
Seeing that jackhammer was deja vu Steve! With our property line right against the edge of our driveway, bustin out asphalt was the only solution: th-cam.com/video/i6A1Phh7Bvk/w-d-xo.html Looking forward to seeing this latest bathroom project moving forward!
Maybe that 7" blade was a cheapie and went dull quickly. Maybe try a new blade that you know is quality. That small concrete saw may turn out to be a keeper if you get a quality blade.
Wtf do I care about the concrete in basement had two guys from a church cone over an do the concrete can't even remember there names oh one was Glen an his brother wh0 cares years ago
Something tells me there will be 20amp breaker upgrade coming in soon. Another priceless real-life video by BRT. 👊👍💪
😆 yes most likely 😆
A battery operated saw would probably be the best for this 👍

Thanks 👍 wish I could do that…
I can see why it would be best that way.
I’ll be keeping things 4” under concrete….so that should help

20 amp. And try using this in a newer home with arc faults 😆
@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher wow 🤦♂️🤣
I got an angle grinder and a rotary hammer. Do you think I can make it?😂
It's for cutting cinderblocks.
How do u know you won’t hit pipes underneath ?

They break apart easier and not in so many small pieces when you drill a hundred or so 1/2 pilot holes

Maybe 👍 I will try a new blade. It could of been that
Hurt my soul to see that iMac getting sprayed with concrete dust
A few more cuts you coulda broke it out in bigger manageable chunks work smarter not harder

Not sure how that comment is relevant.
RIP that persons desk/iMac
That would be mine 😆
We need to cover that up! Lol
