Easily the most comforting, diverse, smart, and talented construction team I know on TH-cam. Best of all, father and son?? Loving the content, constantly! I can tell your son has a great knack for media/social/video/sound as well.
In jobs I've done where there was no ventilation I've tried in the past to use a box fan with a home furnace filter taped to it to such up the dust. Hope that helps and love your work ethic. You guys are great.
Most articulate plumber/contractors ever!!! No more wasting time searching for answers! Great job ever! Love a detailed job. I just gave a plumber a hard time for trying to do half_a__ job at my house..he ended up wanting to shake my hand! He knew I knew better and forced him to do a correct job, even loaned him my tools to cut sheetrock, barked at him for trying not to deburr pvc pipe joints etc. I won. Got the job done right. I earned his respect but would rather have someone like you for all my trade jobs!
Sir, your attention to detail is to be commended. It quite obvious you are passing along tips and tricks not only to those of us watching, but, to Jordan as well. You sir are wonderful teacher. Thank you for the great videos.
Man you guys are growing and rightfully so. Killer job on the dry wall of this project. I can remember the olden days when you guys had like 5K subscribers and now you guys are all growed up heading to 25K!!! Hahahaha. Stud Pack is one of my fav channels now. For the DIY-ers out here Paul is like the pops some of us never had!
Guys your work is the most impressive I’ve seen online. Paul, your attention to details and your explanation is extremely helpful. I’m not a tradesman but your sharing of information is handy. As a home owner I feel I learn how work should be done, the right way. Keep up the stellar work gang!
Hi Guys great work i must say i think it's great the way you explain step by step how you are going to do the work it's a great learning curve for the novice in us all.
Refreshing to see a contractor who has pride in his work. I do all my own projects, big and small, myself so I know what I’m getting. I’d hire these guys without thinking twice. Great channel thanks - Sub’d
First home nj bathroom RIP out redo..the floor joists were crowned by an axe.. bottom of joists cleats and filled in so full cavity concrete.. a sludge hammer just bounced... had to get a jack hammer on a saturday... insane all out drove 20 miles to get one..then the joists needed to be addressed...they were all cut to a point... now I need to buy floor joists and sister them in... walls were metal lath..bath from hell...cast iron tub was the easiest part.. homes are never easy..
Just recently bumped into your channel. Watched through two "series" of kitchen and bathroom remodels. Love the quality work you guys do and pretty good filming as well. If I may add my two cents - if you utilize the "playlists" feature on youtube and organize your videos that way, it'd be easier to follow the flow. Keep up the great work!
greetings sir; i must say, you are very diplomatic using both a lowes bucket and home depot bucket. no one is going to accuse you of bias. just funning..................g
Great video as usual. You could have installed blocking between your studs (easier said than done in some cases with plumbing in the way) and ended the drywall at that blocking and then started the tub deck at that blocking. It creates the fire resistant envelope that code typically looks for.
I would not have spent the time as you did for cutting the shapes out of the drywall. I would make a reasonable cutout, and after nailing, use the insect foam spray, I would fill in the gaps. That make the fitting as snug as a bug in a rug, and saves time. I do not want the drywall tight against pipes (squeeking noise possible if there is pipe expansion/contraction against drywall edge).
If there is one thing I love about the way Paul and Jordan work, it's that despite his years of experience, Paul still insists on wearing all the proper PPE. Despite his experience, he doesn't have the mindset of "That stuff is for rookies." I see too many experienced tradesmen who think they don't need to wear it.
I LOVE doing these types of projects. The "forensic" work first of what went wrong, then the endless possibilities & excitement of the rebuilding phase. Not to mention watching my husband create a beautiful new structure that improves our lives on the daily basis. .....even if most of my job is being the "gopher". (Go get me this, go fetch me that, go for this & that for me 🤣) But usually it's my ideas & inspiration from these types of videos that I share with him, get him inspired with it too, and once we're working on the new project & the inevitable problems arise, being the one who doesn't always know the technical knowhow or proper ways to do things in the moment, I make suggestions in the form of questions that help get him thinking in a different perspective to solve the issue we're currently faced with. 😸😁🤗😸🤗😁 Btw, I'm in the middle of getting a kitchen sink of my very own for the first time ever!! I've been using the laundry tub that currently only has the hot water knob working on it and the washing machine discharge pipe held in place with a wood clamp on the side of the tub that juts out to the middle, middle of the laundry tub to do dishes in a plastic tote bin. For example, I'm tired of escorting a hot pot of pasta & water through the house, opening & closing doors in my path, just to drain the pasta in the laundry tub granted I remembered to take the strainer with me on the first trip, only to return to the original room to finish making dinner, and then retrace my steps afterwards to finally wash all my dirty dishes in thee only-hot water with the laundry discharge pipe in my way laundry tub. And doing dishes while laundry is running, yikes! I cannot have laundry water mixing with my dish water.... 😬😖 Not good! I'm SOOOOO excited!!! My very own sink in my tiny little "apartment" kitchen!! With both hot AND cold water that I can control the temperature of!! I can't hardly wait for it to be functional! It should be at minimum draining into a a bucket that I'll have to dump by the end of this weekend! But I'll at least have running water, in a small double sink, that's got both hot AND cold water supply, in my own little kitchen where I can keep up with dishes AND babysit dinner cooking at the same time! 😁😁😁😁😁
Great work as usual! Quick question, why didn't you redo the 1/2 copper horizontal lines through the framing studs rather than have them exposed outside of the drywall?
I really thought about it Jorden but in the end all that piping gets hidden beneath the tub deck so it wasn't worth the time. Thx for watching and commenting 👍👍
Or customer doesn't have it in the budget... Most jobs aren't budgeted for anything past the customers thought of a final look, not the Mountains of problems that come into play like 100% of the time... Plus as a contractor or anyone doing this work would never want to be responsible for water when you don't need to, cutting into a water line now leaves the burden on you to leave it the way it was before you... Better not to touch water lines if you don't have to...
Here is a trick that I use for hardwood slatted floors. Either before laying or perphaps after a repair or sanding, I soak a rag in strong vinegar and wet the hardwood, ANTS DO NOT LIKE VINEGAR. Here in Montreal, ants will learn that a breadcrumb, a particle of cake, fell onto that hardwood. Within an hour, there will be a swarm of those pesky brown insects. Vinegar helps to keep them away.
If you hold the hammer drill/demo hammer upside-down you can chip up much bigger chunks of tile and use it on full speed without worry of digging into the slab since the angle is not nearly as aggressive.
I've had to chip up tile before on a submarine with with a carpenter hammer and a pry bar after a few days of that everyone was the enemy. I hated life at that point.
I would suggest self leveling compound, but make sure to read the manufacturers’ recommendations on how deep you can pour it. Some spots may be too deep and I would use feather finish by Henry before the self leveling compound to fill those spots. Also, make sure to use appropriate primer before pouring self leveling compound! Hope that helps.
Hey fellas. Gotta self level the entire floor. Just did one couple months ago. Other patch option is to use feather lite. Vinyl plank on top. Your buddy Jerry from Fresno ca.
That window is fixed. I seriously considered removing it for exhaust/trash removal but the flange is buried behind the brick veneer. There is zero ventilation back there. We're trying to contain the dust so it doesn't spread. The area outside the bathroom and then halfway to the front door has just been remodeled due to a sewer overflow... insurance claim, asbestos remediation, etc. The owner's have really been thru it lately. We damp mop the new reclaimed pine floors every evening, have set up an air lock basically to enter the project. Most of the mess is behind us know thank goodness.
My only critique of your drywall job is that the top half of that bottom sheet should have been continuous, with only the bottom part chopped up for installation. No finisher wants to deal with a wall full of unnecessary butt joints.
I wish I could afford to have you guys help me with my house I started a remodel about 8 years ago and still have not finished it been way harder than I ever realized it would be.
@@StudPack No worries. I don't know where in the country you are but I just remodeled and added onto our house. I sure wish my contractor had 1/4 your work ethic. Keep up the good work.
I love the angle elliptical trick. Ive always struggled with getting cuts like that correct. Great work!

Jordan's finding some great license free tunes. That track during the tile demo is a solid southern style of tool's progression!
Hi Guys great work i must say i think it's great the way you explain step by step how you are going to do the work it's a great learning curve for the novice in us all.
The jigsaw and ellipse methods are such good ideas. Never thought of them before. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent work, nice on the hole cut example, I learned something.
Beautiful attention to detail. I will have to use the angle pipe trick in the future.
I said you were a surgeon with the multi tool but after the job you just did on the drywall, WOW! Next level.
Refreshing to see a contractor who has pride in his work. I do all my own projects, big and small, myself so I know what I’m getting. I’d hire these guys without thinking twice. Great channel thanks - Sub’d
Nice work gents, just a tip from me, use a rolling knife to cut insulation. Very fast and clean cutting.
Your sheetrock skills are another level amazing damn I wish I could find someone like you guys so I can learn off in the real world
Thx julio!!
Nice drywall work guys. Awesome to see y’all working together as dad and son !
I too love working with my son !
I enjoy your work. Keep uploading! Thank you. Pleasant greetings from BELIZE!
you are the BOSS with that drywall!
Thx Amy👍
Fantastic job!!
I like how y’all show the actual work not just the beginning and end. 👍

Thanks a lot. Helped me to visualize and plan for an upcoming project.
Wonderful video. I'm watching for ideas while doing my bathroom tearout.
Thx Alexei 👍
Great idea that you did in that longated. Hole that you did there bright
Now that is some impressive drywall hanging
Thx Ben 👍
Very intelligent and beauty work...
Great job fellas. Sometimes drywall is a pain in the butt,but it has to be done. Keep up the good work ( 504) area

Great stuff!
Great work. I really like seeing you take pride in your work. Don't see a lot of that these days. Keep it up
Appreciate that Joe thx!!
Great job. Looking forward to the access panel as I need one this week for my jacuzzi tub
Thx Michael!
I wish more builders/architects would plan for easy repair/maintenance or clean up.

This isRicky again I finish drywall for over 30 years you guys do a good job you do it the way it should be done
Thx Ricky 💪👍
Im thinking put up a patreon and public source some of the rentals.. maybe get enough to purchase them outright.. would be great for the channel
Awesome work! Looking forward 👍👍💯
Always interesting
Y'all have a great thing going here 👍
Great tips for future projects
Always quality work, great to see!
Excellent as always guys!
Awesome video guys

I LOVE doing these types of projects.
The "forensic" work first of what went wrong, then the endless possibilities & excitement of the rebuilding phase.
Not to mention watching my husband create a beautiful new structure that improves our lives on the daily basis.

Self leveling on the floor followed by Ditra. Have the customer get the in heat flooring upgrade. They’ll thank you for it later.
Get the dust mask with the cartridges there very good and worth your hard earned money!!great job
If you hold the hammer drill/demo hammer upside-down you can chip up much bigger chunks of tile and use it on full speed without worry of digging into the slab since the angle is not nearly as aggressive.
you can also tape a shopvac to the tool and help mitigate the dust
I've had to chip up tile before on a submarine with with a carpenter hammer and a pry bar after a few days of that everyone was the enemy. I hated life at that point.
the camera is perfect!
It looks like work :- )
Yes, the elliptical trick was something I've struggled with. I've had to make a bunch of measurements and then hand drawn the elliptical hole.
I would suggest self leveling compound, but make sure to read the manufacturers’ recommendations on how deep you can pour it. Some spots may be too deep and I would use feather finish by Henry before the self leveling compound to fill those spots.
Also, make sure to use appropriate primer before pouring self leveling compound!
Hope that helps.

Hey fellas. Gotta self level the entire floor. Just did one couple months ago. Other patch option is to use feather lite. Vinyl plank on top. Your buddy Jerry from Fresno ca.
I’m guilty of underestimating the art of insulation. I have learned to take the time to fit it properly
How about a tip on getting those corner drywall screws flush with the drywall gun
Thx Jerry. Lived in Ventura for many years. Self level it is 👍
It's looking good My idea is to poor concrete that's 2" in thick over top of that old floor that should work
Paul could you not use a self levelling compound for the floor? Keep up the good work guys !
Yep, I think that's the play. Thx Mark!!
Anyone else find themselves subconsciously holding their breath when they were jackhammering the floor. That dust is nasty!
Done tile floor tear outs and not fun, but like you when I rent the Bosch it makes things go faster. How do you get rid of the dust?
I would think the best way to sort the floor would be to self level it
Great Channel!
Your followers can not leave your page without benefiting from it. Thank you
It is both so it's a duck toilet:)
Digging the father - son combo. Keep it up!
Self leveling compound and Schluter Ditra. You’re covered at that point.
It's a Tardis!!
👍👍
Of you take a sponge and damp the thirst before you chip it, it will be a lot less dusty
👍👊
The guy(s) who hid the shut-off valves behind the wall should be given a huge dope-slap by you and every remodeler in town.
0:06 Dr. Who!
I'm surprised that you don't put a small fan in the window for positive pressure in the room. Less dust.
That window is fixed. I seriously considered removing it for exhaust/trash removal but the flange is buried behind the brick veneer. There is zero ventilation back there.

@@StudPack I am glad they are getting things done the proper way. Asbestos remediation is not something to be done poorly.
👍
you didn't leave anything for the mud man to fix. I thought that was like a rule or something.
Ha... that’s cuz I’m the mud man 🤣
My only critique of your drywall job is that the top half of that bottom sheet should have been continuous, with only the bottom part chopped up for installation. No finisher wants to deal with a wall full of unnecessary butt joints.
I'm no pro but, I would use self leveling compound on that floor.
Do you do this type of work on a time & material basis?
This one was
Wow.
Did you guys leave a big enough gap for the concrete floor and the drywall? Hard to tell from video.
I typically leave 1/2" between the slab and drywall. Is that what you mean?
@@StudPack Yep that is it.
I do not have good results measuring and laying out for hole cut outs
Shouldn't you be using green board drywall?
Why didn't u guys use concrete sheetrock?
I wish I could afford to have you guys help me with my house I started a remodel about 8 years ago and still have not finished it been way harder than I ever realized it would be.
Is there a reason you didn't use MMR sheeting?
It’s hard to find here. That’s why I prime it all.
@@StudPack No worries. I don't know where in the country you are but I just remodeled and added onto our house. I sure wish my contractor had 1/4 your work ethic. Keep up the good work.
