    One of the best instructional videos I’ve seen on the subject. I’ve got over 37 years of experience, I should know. I’m now semi-retired and doing some shower remodels for side hustle. I’m definitely going to look at this kit for my next one.

    Great tip on the 2x10 reinforcement for a future grab bar, maybe add a second 2x10 in case it's a vertical grab bar, like one would have for exiting a bath tub. It would also be worthwhile to sketch a diagram of the 2x10(s) exact location, for a future installer to reference. We have a similar shower unit like this one installed in our basement bathroom over a concrete floor, so I sprayed expanding insulating foam underneath to insulate and support it further. Thanks for all the great tips Steve and kudos on the good camera work Nikki! 🖖✌

    Is cement backer board necessary for fiberglass units ? I installed 1/4 inch boards after realizing I should’ve used 1/2 but I don’t really want to replace it. Would it even matter if you don’t need them at all ?

  • @holland6648

    Would be cool if you included how you measured the dept of the shower valve and was you shower valve free floating no backing? Love the rest of the vid👍🏻

    • @BathroomRemodelingTeacher
      @BathroomRemodelingTeacher  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes free floating with the way it mounted to shower panels. It’s an odd valve for sure. But most valves can free float and anchor with escutcheon plate 👍

    Why do you spray it with the windex before whipping it with your finger. Also what kind of caulk did you use in the joints like were the top walls met the bottom base. Just wondering because I’m at this step at home and not sure what kind of caulk to use. Thanks and great Video I learned a lot and am more confident about moving forward in my shower installation.

    • @BathroomRemodelingTeacher
      @BathroomRemodelingTeacher  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It prevents the silicon from smearing. They make special sprays for it, but Windex does just fine. The joint needs to be caulked fully before spraying. If there is any gap, the Windex will prevent sealing to surround

    Do you have to put wing nuts back on to hold shower together? Where the metel pins line the two up.

    • @BathroomRemodelingTeacher
      @BathroomRemodelingTeacher  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No need to add the wing nuts. Might not be a bad idea to do so if you set as a one piece…the pins are helpful to align the panels when setting 👍

    Nice job 👏 how much would a remodel like that cost about?

    • @sandymilne224
      @sandymilne224 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      My guess… shower system (base and walls) $1,200-ish. Plumbing; assuming no concrete slab cutting and moving drain; $75. Assuming new diverter, pex piping and water supply to rain head; $500-700. Grab bars; approx. $36.00 each. Misc. Supplies $230 max. (caulk, drain, 2x material, etc) Likely 4 -5 days labor. And that’s high.

      Yes, but you need to find the correct height. A lot of shower kits will extend above side walls

    How dare you put a fiberglass base in a shower. A shower needs to be custom built with all that waterproof membrane, inside-outside corners. Or even better styrofoam base with little beach rocks on top. So when you stand on it little rocks can be embedded in the styrofoam base. A shower curb with bunch of corners to waterproof. 6 months later Tile Coach will come and dissect your shower like a doctor to find out what failed in 100 possible failures in a custom shower. Jokes aside I like that base, it is not beautiful but very functional.

    I've seen too many of these videos where the installer leaves the tub or shower floor unprotected while they work the installation. Why? It doesn't take much to put a drop cloth or piece of cardboard down to protect the finish of the brand new unit.

    Walking grout into a new fiberglass enclosure is going to really mess up the surface. A piece of cardboard down is a sign of caring and easy to do at no cost. Sloppy work is generally poor work. Really disappointed in the insulation install as well. I hope people are not taking this as the 'right' way to do an install.
