In the master suite, it's almost time to tile the bathroom. Foam board is put on the walls and floor to receive the tiles with thinset. Tommy shows Kevin how he builds a shower bench made out of the same 2-inch and thinner foam board. Then they run electric radiant wire to heat the seat.
Our plumbing crew is installing new gas lines. Richard shows the plumbing apprentices the old-school way of cutting and connecting the steel pipes. Then he shows them how to use the latest clamping tool for a quick and safe connection.
The newly opened up crawl space gets sprayed with insulation.
On the first floor, Kevin finds Tommy teaching the apprentices how to install double hung replacement windows. Clad on the outside for no maintenance and primed on the inside for paint, these energy-efficient windows require a sponge balancing system to stay in place.
On the exterior, the architect calls for the second-floor shingles to flare at the transition where they meet the clapboards. Tommy shows Kevin and homeowner Joe how he makes a jig to achieve the flare.

Tom Silva deserves a Nobel in didactics. I know a lot of video editing goes into the program but Tom's presence and persona always shines through. Does he ever get impatient with himself or anybody? He's simply superhuman.
Speaking as a dad of a 17y year old daughter I’m glad to see a women there as an apprentice 👏👏👏👏
Me too! I'm always happy to see women in trades. I'm an aircraft mechanic myself and a 27 year old gal. It's nice to see ladies with these talents and interests!
@@ChibiPanda8888 excellent!! Good luck to you and to inspiring other women and young girls. We need many more of you 👏👏👏
@@GrahamDIY Women keep the country going during WW2, but some of these kids today, both male and female, have no work ethic when it comes to real work such as the trades.

"Because it was cut square..." Shot @ 11:03 must be another pipe then.
Tommy does a good job explaining to pupils. I wish I would've had a guy like that on the framing crew I was on
Lol Richard made those apprentices drag that pipe threading machine all the way into the basement for one cut
Thank for putting this on you tube. I missed seeing these programs when I lost satellight tv. I used to watch this every week.
If you have a ruku, firestick or smart TV, they have an app you can download and watch the show directly. It plays 24/7.
All you need is an antenna.

TOH crews do projects the right way. Great to see quality workmanship. True skilled labor.
Homeowner: We're on a very tight budget
Also Homeowner: I need a heated tile bench in my shower
Honestly, those heater systems are super cheap. It's like a $300 system for the whole thing.
Tommy insulted Kevin about hiS weight 😂😂
Its always funny when Tommy makes fun of Kevin's weight 🤣
Kevin is actually pretty hot! Total Dad Bod!

10:58 that's not a square cut!!
11:12 Mark the pipe with "special marker" AKA sharpie
Wow, this foam board will be great in a tiny house on wheels build, also in Schoolies, van conversions, and other such applications! Thanks for the tip!
That foam was pretty cool. Could be used for a whole lot of stuff!
11:14 "special marker" I though that was just a silver sharpie
These guys are doing very good job, very informative videos easy to understand. Thanks Tommy and all the crews.
All the way from Arabian desert
That gas pipe squeezer also means no oil all over the floor that would break the bond of almost any glued down finished flooring.
I’ll keep my pipe thread, you can have the special gaskets.
Why did he change glue on the shower bench from what he was attaching the foam to the floor to when he was attaching them to each other? It looked like he was using the Schluter glue then switched to Gorilla.
New carpenters! Awesome
4:24 Shouldn't the top of the seat be on top of the front? That way the front is supporting the seat.
it was thin board on front, legs were much thicker.
@1:34 Looks like Kevin surprised Tom while he was playing with his tape measure.
lol nice find
That foam stuff was pretty cool, I thought. Could probably be used for other stuff too. (Even though it isn't quite designed for that...)
No. Only candy, Ned.
Very nice those windows.
I disagree.
a heated shower floor? Isn't that what the hot water is for?
I stayed in a house during winter that had the heated shower floor. Gotta say, it was nice...feet didn't get cold like they do normally.
During the cold winter months, I would place a washrag over the drain to allow a couple of inches of warm water to develop to keep my feet warm. So I get this idea.
I guess it's like underfloor heating. I mean, you could wear socks to keep your feet warm, but the underfloor heating is so much more convenient and nice.
It was only an extra $25 in materials to extend the heated floor to my shower floor. Keep in mind the heated floor also helps heat the ROOM.
Underfloor heating dries floor much faster which also reduces water damages for structures assuming waterproofing and everything else is done correctly.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 Hmmm, never realized this. My heated shower floor has white grout and looks great, no mold or build-up.
Why were there two different types of sealant / glue when they secured the seat in the shower ?
I have a Schluter foam shower pan - it sounds weird when you drop the soap!
I imagine it would.
@@ChibiPanda8888 Sounds hallow.
Mr Tomy and all your crews are amazing how expensive are you fox to get your quality job ?
How soon until that O ring leaks on that gas pipe? 10 yrs?
@@Kevin-mp5of very true...
They don’t allow o-ring joints in the UK for gas.
Solder or compression. And no plastic either.
Just a quick update:
I watched one of those “Property Brothers” once and they said a copper gas pipe running under a suspended floor was illegal because “someone would think it was a water pipe” and it had to be changed to a plastic pipe.
I realise that gas pipes are now mostly plastic for the gas company distribution (we’ve just spent 12months having our road dug up so they could replace the metal main pipes in the road to yellow plastic). But to change a copper pipe in a house because “someone might think it was water and so cut in to it” did make me laugh
Why heated shower tile. No one turns the shower on inside You always let it run for a minute I rather heat the floor just outside the shower.
HI, 4 month ago I bought a house that has the similar windows system "Sponge Balancing rails". I would like to know if their are easy to remove from the clips. I need to replace some of them that have the mechanism bad (doesn't hold the window up) and other windows require a bottom replacement (The Sill) and I need to remove the rail also. Thanks for your help.
Those window installs tho? Why would you ever want that system. 1/8" out of square would mess this up. Also no sill or top? It's still rough lumber on the top?
Who needs a heated seat in a shower 😂
and even the floor. ...just put some wood down on the floor and that makes it warm and cosy enough, imo.
Heated shower floor is great to dry things, like shoes or various canvas items like hats etc after washing them properly and placing in the templates to keep their shape.
And it is a nice thing to step in warm shower room at the winter time when the very slight temperature difference doesn't exist.
I think it's a nice idea but I would do it with typical radiant floor, meaning hot water, instead of electrical.
@@fadetounforgiven Electronic can be placed anywhere easily. Even nicely poured in a mud. But problem is that if you damage the wire in it, it is broken. So you take a risk while installing it that does it work after curing.
But afterwards it takes very little electricity to heat quickly up, and no requirement to have extra water piping to leak. But if one has a central water heating, then it makes sense to run that floor heating through it as well.
@@paristo call me crazy but I'm not a big fan of using electricity where water could one day leak. Also, the piping for this would be quite easy, there would only be leaks if you are really uncareful when installing the pex or whatever it is. As to life expectancy, I think the resistence is probably shorter than the pipe most likely.
I think water is a better option than electricity here.
My neighbors have a lot of pipe dope.
The apprentice with the beard is channeling Norm Abram... In 40 years will he be retiring from TOH?
Got any TOH videos about foam installation I want to do this with couple of buildings know needs it & about how to lesson about granite & marble kitchen countertops.
I dont think i could have cut it any more square than that "Richard"
Here's your shower bench to waste a few thousand gallons of water.
Why heat a shower floor?
To keep floor much drier which reduces change to structural failures also really warm to feet. And with underfloor heating you don't need any other heat source, no radiators on wall etc.
That orange board is crazy expensive for what it is.
Kevin hey I’ve used it. It’s good stuff. But very expensive. For a homeowner who has more time, I’d recommend the roll of orange stuff.
Anyone know what brand/model those windows are?
The wrong kind
Marvin "snap pack"
Wedi for me!
Wedi got me.
How does the foam hold the weight of the tile and grout?
The dense foam they are using is actually very strong in compression, take a look at SIPS structurally insulated panels
I've used kerdi board dozens of times. That stuff is seriously amazing and incredibly strong. There is no limit to what you can do with it. I've even used it to make a floating sink.
There are XPS foam boards that is stronger than basic concrete so i assume that you haven't ever seen that stuff.
I wonder if these new replacement windows will have screens.
I think Richard meant to say "Grunt Work" instead of Grudge Work. It must be tough to have the camera filming you and they are dialogue-free
11:27 not torque, just pressure
Love the program. A side effect of your program is that I know more about replacing electrical panels in the US than I do in the UK, where the codes are completely different (e.g. wire nuts not allowed, single phase 240V), black or blue is Neutral, not "hot".
The use of those nuclear-bomb-proof steel gas pipes is strange to me. I live in the UK, and the house gas piping is copper inch OD. Is there any reason, apart from inertia, to continue with steel?
PEX and PE gas lines can be used in the USA (when local codes allow it). Is there any reason, apart from inertia, to continue to use soft more dangerous, expensive and more time consuming, copper instead in the UK?
Also UK banned dangerous ceramic wire nuts years ago... Is there any reason, apart from inertia, to continue not to allow modern wire nuts?
@@nc3826 The answer is, I don't know. But then I was asking the question of folks who might know, and hoping to get some kind of answer.
@@adrianstephens56I was asking different questions.... But the general answer is, 'inertia' is a universal constant... But if you want more details, "googling it" is the best way to get it... Good luck, with whatever you decide to do, mate...
Because the US guys live in the craftsmans stoneage. But they didn’t know... 😂

Tommy is it sealed?

Folks do we really spend enough time in the shower to need heated seats?. Seems a bit much. There's hot water in there already.
What do you guys think. Should This Old House go to the White House in Washington DC and do some work on the most famous house in the United States ?

The State that went red in 2016 and will stay red in 2020 and that something you can take to the bank.
Trump is known to often stiff contractors. They should pass.
That would be an interesting episode, that's for sure!
Did you see that guy strip the screw thread when the mounted the flare fixture to the house?
I guess I'm old school since I would not want that gasket compression gas piping system in my house. Some things are just worth doing the right way IMO.
We’ve been using this method in Europe for a long time and it’s so much easier and safer because is the same equal force 5t on a machine, instead of someone tightening it with a wrench, google ‘bonfix press’.
Tommy a question couple buy’s say 110 year old house. They have a lot of work ahead of them. They are currently working on stairs from first fl to second fl. The stairwell from the second fl to the first floor has bannister protecting folks from falling in the hole down to the first floor. They are thinking of replacing the current railing with a glass surround to protect the hole. The current or original railing Was encapsulated in plywood when they removed the plywood they discovered spindles under the plywood. My question is do they or are they responsible to make the old banister and spindles safe. I can’t give you exact measurements however looking at the spindles they look far enough apart that a crawling infant could fit thru and fall to the first floor. The last issue is the height of the banister once again I’m not there so I can only say what I think based on what I see. The man removing the encapsulating plywood is will say 5 feet 9 inches. We can see him standing next to the banister and the top of the banister hardly reaches his crotch. My question is are they allowed to leave the current structure because it is grandfathered in or are they required by code to bring it up to todays standards.

Nearly 600,000 homeless in the U.S. and people heat their shower floor?
My bad, I'll use that money and build some homeless person 2 walls and half of a roof
I have a theory that when plumbers & bathroom designers create a darling little cubbyhole in the wall of a shower stall for a couple bottles of shampoo have never actually lived with a human woman, and her dozen or so bottles of shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and various lotions and emollients that will invariably liter the floor and corners of the shower stall or cover the top of that wonderful heated bench. Don't get me started on the equally elaborate collection of washcloths, scrubbies, sponges., etc. that all need a hook or hanger never planned for. And who wants a heated bench seat that has no secondary showerhead above it? These shower stalls are not realistic as to the way people actually live.
Homes are built as disposable as everything is these days.
.... unfortunately. Craftsmanship is disappearing.
"Tommy's Flair for Flares": It's times like this that make me realize just how much the furry fandom has ruined me. :D
uh okay
Wow building a House out of foam and pine wood, that house will not last 10 minutes on a windy day.
who sits down on a bench when they shower? sounds unsanitary and more work to keep clean than taking a normal shower standing up, i like the small stool from the other bathroom as a foot rest though
I do because I’m handicapped from a massive foot injury and can’t stand while showering.
It’s a bummer but I just clean up the bench after and I do stand for short periods. I think old people use benches too.
I thought the addition was for their older parents.

Oh yeah. Do you love me? 😍💋 💝💖❤️
Electric wire under wet butts in wet enclosure... I don't think that's a good idea.
It does seem really weird they are using electric for that when they already have a hot water heating system anyway. Adding a few more feet of radiant tubing would be super simple.
ya sounds like a bad idea to me. But what do I know?
@@Kevin-mp5of "Hot water heating system" is a perfectly acceptable name. You just have a problem with reading comprehension due to inherent stupidity.
To be more specific it's not just a heating system, it makes their DOMESTIC HOT WATER also.
ever been in an Asian hotel?
@@richieyeah Yeah...death traps. Made in china. They still haven't figured out what ground wires are for!
The entire shower is made of foam.
I just don’t understand how foam can support the weight of a human, tile, and grout?
It's a very strong, dense foam designed for this purpose. I've walked around a shower being constructed from this stuff and was surprised how solid it felt. The contrast between what you see and how it feels is surprising.
Just love how as they teach people how to waste their money by cutting corners all the time. That shower and those windows won’t last even 5 years. Foam is only supposed to be used as insulation. Where the caulking to keep the water out.
@@michaeljoesting4888 The product is Schluter Kerdi-Board, and it is specifically designed for building waterproof structural features with tile. It's not insulation.
@@ClicketyClack the inside is still foam which should never be used like that because over time it will fail causing more damage especially with the added heating system. I have built better and more water proof showers with out it. It’s for lazy people who don’t care about their work.
@@michaeljoesting4888 Thanks for letting me know. I'm glad that you are apparently far more knowledgeable than the engineers who designed this product for this specific task. I suggest you send Schluter a resume.
Sorry .. I love this show .. but I hate that foam garbage in the bathroom ..
The blond window girl with the bad tattoo is very pretty.
