Alex - the only complaint I ever have about your videos is that they end at the end. It would be cool if they didn't have to always end all the time. ;) The place looks amazing, I'm LOVING this series.
As someone how has renovated my entire house, built in 1953, I truly appreciate the amount of work going into this build. I love the plywood studs! I wish we had something like that in Canada. It’s alway interesting to see how other people go about their renovations. Keep up the good work and it will end trust me 😆
You know a better way of starting your thoughts than "As someone who..."? Hey dude good job! I've renovated my own house before (it was built in 1953), so I can really appreciate the effort you've put into this. Way less Neuro-Divergent.
Just as of my experience: Soundproof your nieche to the bedroom very well. And definitely change the studs at the door to the more solid ones. Your wall will be shattering if you use a heavier door with your actual profiles… Otherwise great series new lot of fun watching you! Keep on going! 😊🙏
If anyone is in the sam situation as Alex with the waterproofing boards and uneven walls, it is 1000x easier to 'spot-bond' the panel with thick spots of cement applied to the back of the panel which will allow you to make it level when applied to the uneven wall. Fasteners can then be applied through the cement.
Thanks Alex! I really learnt a lot from this video as an architecture student. I enjoyed how you went through the process the detail and so on. I APPRECIATE it!
those Duri laminated studs look incredibly useful for this kind of "must be straight" structure... looking at their website as a US remodeler I am incredibly jealous of some of the products they sell😂
You can get LVL lumber in the US. LSL, PSL, and Glulam are also options. Each have their own pros and cons like shear and bending strength. They are all under the umbrella term SCL (Structural Composite Lumber). LVLs and PSLs tend to be more expensive than traditional lumber, probably because of the ability to make them level from the manufacturer, so that you can square things up much easier. I am not sure of brand reputations in the contruction space, but I know that Boise Cascade has their line of LVL called Versa Stud, and they also do LVL Trusses.
In Brazil all was are cover in cement, this is done by creation reference points with shard of brick or tile on little mounds. Level them using gravity and a plumb, a check for squarenesss. Once you have the points leveled and squared, throw tons of cement and use a straight ruler between points to get reference lines, the flatten between lines. With practice this is super fast.
Awesome video! Excited to see how the bathroom comes out! Quick question: how are you keeping all the moisture out of the walls since moisture is infamous for causing mold behind walls and whatnot.
Great Video, for your storage space in the bedroom you should make a cool pullout hamper for sorting dirty laundry. You can organize it as well as make it look nice when the hamper drawer is closed.
Another excellent video! Great to see progress and every used technique! 👍 I didn't seen before water distribution box at ceiling! Thanks for video update, waiting for next one! 😉
That bathroom looks great brother! Can't wait to see how the rest of your place turns out. Idk I've watched your channel for several years. So it's pretty awesome to see this whole new series your doing!! Take it easy my friend!
Here is a nice tip since I am a painter and if you want to get rid of dust the easy way just have a bicket of water and a rag or a roller and cover the surface once dried you have a nice surface to work on
Love watching each of your vids and you simply trying/learning new things. I’m surprised a lot have commented about not seeing that timber before. We have so much of it in Australia called LVL (laminated veneered lumber) usually used for larger structural beams and concrete Formwork.
I get the urge to build my own house myself someday every time I watch your videos you make everything seems easy to do anyway can't wait to see what tiles you will use
"This is not my day job" LOL! I totally understand. Laying bricks isn't bad but I can only imagine trying to puzzle together a mosaic like that. I think you did a great job.
@Alexandre Chappel, are you going to have a transom window above the bathroom door? It will be good to allow some light inside in case of power failure.
Idea for the space next to the shower/sink: I don't know where you or your girlfriend have your closet. But maybe (if your closet is in your bedroom) it's cool to be able to throw away your dirty clothes into the laundry basket, that is located in said space. And be able to acces that space from the bedroom and bathroom since the washingmachine is in there.
Make sure you're supposed to use a power mixer with that brand. With some brands, a power mixer will aerate the mixture too much, causing it to cure in about 15 to 20 minutes instead of an hour or more.

You should make shower cubbies for toiletries in that bigger section by where the door for the shower is. Because the space in the shower is a bit limited, it would be a good idea to have that area to put shampoos, soap, loofas etc… out of the way of the flow of the bathroom and in reach of someone showering. I mean, you have the perfect extra bits of space to do it.
Yeah I know it's kinda an awkward size but that seems like a total waste of potential extra shower space. Especially for a couple, having a little extra space in the shower to fit two people can be beneficial.
Insanely cool project, Alex!! Awesome to be able to follow your progress, learn tons and be inspired to take on some renovation (maybe not to the same extent, though) myself! Any idea if Duri will sell to private households at any point? Plywood looks awesome for framing!
Hey Alexandre, this was a great video! But please deburr the edges of the holes you drilled inside the metal beams so the electrical wires will not be damaged ;)
Haha, nice try buddy, the trick to stick the mortar mix into the wall is on the wrist, fast turn at the end to have enough speed on it to get it stick. Nice hack using wood guides.
Absolutely awesome video. I really like, how you just build the shelves and they just fit in perfectly :D when i build shelves or something like that, they are shit.
I absolutely love the content of your videos and you're clearly a really nice cool guy. I just find them very hard to watch due to the speed of information and the fact you've cut all the pauses it - it makes my head hurt a bit trying to keep up, i'm glad it doesn't appear to happen to others but I wish you had a slower, calmer version with more gaps and breathes in the speech haha. Good luck with the build!
Alex how do you know all this house building stuff?! What a great feeling to know all the little details of your house's construction though, customizable at will. Can't wait for more, thanks bro! Also I hope you do some networking through the place!
Applying even coats of mortar or plaster to walls is surprisingly simple for those with knowhow Alex dude.. Really.. Give it a try and see, Most importantly make the render a bit wetter for extended run time..
Fantastic, Didn't know that we had/used metal frames here in Norway. Are you planning on doing any smarthome thing to the apartment? First thing I thought about when you said led lightning in the shelves :)
Cool! For the plumbing box, you could try make a small door that matches the ceiling, perhaps with a push latch so that it's disguised and out of the way. Then again, it might be hard to see if someone else needs to shut the water off. :P Really enjoying this series, glad to see how it's all coming along. :)
Also those connection boxes serve a double purpose, one is to see if one of the inner pipes are leaking(other is to just cut off water to one thing if its broken or replacing it), since they are double pipes, the inside pipe leaks into the bigger pipe which will slowly flood and then if its mounted near the floor, there is a small hole in the box where the water runs out onto the floor and you can easily see "oh crap this box is leaking water, something is broken!". I have no clue how they will find out if stuff is leaking now with the box at the roof. Well unless the roof suddenly collapses because of all the collected water
Not common to heat insulate between rooms here in Norway, that's just on outer walls. All bathrooms are required to have membrane = waterproofing on the inside, the bathroom wall panels has this built-in.
Lamiflex for varmekabler i stua? Plater av papp med tynt lag med alu oppå for å reflektere varme, teiper det rett oppå sponplatene så legger du gulv oppå der igjen. Får kjøpt det privat og vi elektrikere lar deg som oftest legge gulv å varmekabel på egen risiko så lenge du ikke ødelegg🙂
bra jobba mr :) er du utdannet tømrer eller møbelsnekker? jeg er snekker selv, å ser at det du utfører av arbeid her er helt etter boken og hvordan jeg ville gjort det selv :)
Seeing all these empty walls I really wonder why we put plaster on every single wall. Having some easily removable material would make it so much easier for every plumber, electrician or people just wanting a little bit of extra storage. It would also make reusing and recycling material much easier.
Looks great, but I am slightly concerned with all the wood in a space that will be wet a lot of the time. In my experience it can be super hard to waterproof everything 100%, But I am sure you have already thought of a solution, so looking forward to seeing it.
Alex - the only complaint I ever have about your videos is that they end at the end. It would be cool if they didn't have to always end all the time. ;) The place looks amazing, I'm LOVING this series.
I'm really enjoying this series so far. Thanks for making it for us all.
I've been waiting this for 2+ weeks, great to see you back!
As someone how has renovated my entire house, built in 1953, I truly appreciate the amount of work going into this build. I love the plywood studs! I wish we had something like that in Canada.

Its named as "dot and dab" in UK
I was confused as to why he didn’t just frame the wall out with studs
@@ununha And we hate it 😁
@@almostanengineer Me too. I think the issue was the brick was so uneven, and weak
@@almostanengineer because it would unnecessarily reduce the size of the bathroom
Loving this series, these renovations are difficult enough without having to film and edit everything, top job.
So true. Filming adds another layer of work to the entire process. Kudos to them both for the extra effort to document all this and share.
coming home from vacation, and theres a new video up. just perfect, love this series!
Thanks Alex! I really learnt a lot from this video as an architecture student. I enjoyed how you went through the process the detail and so on. I APPRECIATE it!

I am tempted to glue up some plywood myself for my next project.
I would recommend testing the water system for leaks before you commit to the floor.
Already pressure testet by the plumber with air.
the way Alex has the same exact excitement and energy for remodeling as he does for engineering and modeling will make me watch anything he does lol.
Absolutely love your enthusiasm & work ethic. Big job but it's all coming together. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
Thank you for making this series!

All the walls will be waterproof ✌️ all in the next video :)
I'm really enjoying your videos on your renovation. Cheers for West Aus.
You need a commercial air scrubber with hepa. They are on Amazon fro around $600
Nice work, its cool to see how its done in other countries!
Nice, Furze tunnel series. Now this series.
Great Video, for your storage space in the bedroom you should make a cool pullout hamper for sorting dirty laundry. You can organize it as well as make it look nice when the hamper drawer is closed.
Yes!! I’m loving it, you’re killing it as always!!
Awesome! Please renovate the next apartment afterwards. This series cannot end!
Another excellent video! Great to see progress and every used technique! 👍
I didn't seen before water distribution box at ceiling!
Thanks for video update, waiting for next one! 😉
Stream this on YT or Twitch! That would be a series I watch!!!
Your incredible Alex ! Can't wait for the rest of this project ! Loving the videos so much.
That bathroom looks great brother! Can't wait to see how the rest of your place turns out. Idk I've watched your channel for several years. So it's pretty awesome to see this whole new series your doing!! Take it easy my friend!
Loving this series from Brazil. Keep pushing, man!
This is my favorite series!
Amazing series Alex! I love watching these videos all the best with the remodel you’ve convinced me to get started on my own home!
you are doing a great work Alex!
Great work!
To make your walls sturdy you need to add bracing/straps to the metal studs.
Here is a nice tip since I am a painter and if you want to get rid of dust the easy way just have a bicket of water and a rag or a roller and cover the surface once dried you have a nice surface to work on

Absolutely love how therapeutic this series is :')
Cool, looking fw to more in this series. I was a bit puzzled about not seeing any drains in the floor but maybe there are out of sight atm.
Covered by the stack of wood in the shower area ;)
Normally vertical metal studs are doubled, so the wall is more rigid. You will hold them together with the pinchy tool you showed.
This series is sooooo cool, thanks for sharing with us, I really enjoy watching this cool project!
dude, you are amazing!! great channel!
"This is not my day job" LOL! I totally understand. Laying bricks isn't bad but I can only imagine trying to puzzle together a mosaic like that. I think you did a great job.
@Alexandre Chappel, are you going to have a transom window above the bathroom door? It will be good to allow some light inside in case of power failure.
I feel like you could have just done some thin framing over the brick walls? Woulda been much easier than plastering lol
can't wait to watch!!
Idea for the space next to the shower/sink: I don't know where you or your girlfriend have your closet. But maybe (if your closet is in your bedroom) it's cool to be able to throw away your dirty clothes into the laundry basket, that is located in said space. And be able to acces that space from the bedroom and bathroom since the washingmachine is in there.
But that would definitely hurt the sound insulation, I don't think that's a good tradeoff.
Really enjoy this as much as digging tunnels, but maybe a tunnel is next. 😄
Make sure you're supposed to use a power mixer with that brand. With some brands, a power mixer will aerate the mixture too much, causing it to cure in about 15 to 20 minutes instead of an hour or more.
You can buy rails that you attach to the wall specifically to make it fast and easy to create flat wall surfaces with plaster.
Fantastic work, Alexandre! Nicely done! 😃
It's going to be a sweet sweet home in no time!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Really love the videos you are posting! Regards from Bolivia
great series so far. Do you have experience as a contractor of some kind? Pretty impressive if not.
Do you not have plasterboard over there/drywall? That you can glue to the wall? It’s all done like that over in the uk
Keep it up, man! Great work
Kom tilfeldig over kanalen din når jeg letet etter flise videoer, å herregud for et rått prosjekt! 😃
Digger energien å pågangsmotet ditt! Keep up the good work 😃
Jeg er ihvertfall Subscribed 👍
I really hope that when this series is over, you let us know how long the entire remodel took start to finish!
You should make shower cubbies for toiletries in that bigger section by where the door for the shower is.

Thank you for great fun you provide with those videos! So much positive enegry
For you shower shelves, will the 2° angle be a problem causing the bottles and stuff to slide of the shelf? Or maybe you'll have a "fence"?
Insanely cool project, Alex!! Awesome to be able to follow your progress, learn tons and be inspired to take on some renovation (maybe not to the same extent, though) myself!
Any idea if Duri will sell to private households at any point? Plywood looks awesome for framing!
good job 👍
"This is not my day job" - yet it still looks better than the "pros" I've paid a LOT of money to build my house :)
Nice work!
Hey Alexandre, this was a great video! But please deburr the edges of the holes you drilled inside the metal beams so the electrical wires will not be damaged ;)
Hi Alex. You are one very talented guy mate Love you videos and your doing a great job 👍👍
Awesome, but do they not do vapour barriers in this country?
It’s really coming a long, can wait for your next video! 👏🏾
Amazing work.
Haha, nice try buddy, the trick to stick the mortar mix into the wall is on the wrist, fast turn at the end to have enough speed on it to get it stick. Nice hack using wood guides.
Absolutely awesome video. I really like, how you just build the shelves and they just fit in perfectly :D when i build shelves or something like that, they are shit.
Hey alex, why don't you use that dead space for alcoves within the shower instead of bedroom storage?
I absolutely love the content of your videos and you're clearly a really nice cool guy. I just find them very hard to watch due to the speed of information and the fact you've cut all the pauses it - it makes my head hurt a bit trying to keep up, i'm glad it doesn't appear to happen to others but I wish you had a slower, calmer version with more gaps and breathes in the speech haha.
Good luck with the build!
love these videos, both for the educational as well as entertainment value... I am going to be seriously sad when this process is over... 🤣🤣🤣
it looks like little space for shower and bathroom
Ypu should use some kind of plaser , like goldband, much nice experience.
Alex how do you know all this house building stuff?! What a great feeling to know all the little details of your house's construction though, customizable at will. Can't wait for more, thanks bro! Also I hope you do some networking through the place!
Is there room for the shower head in the sealing ?
amazing!
As an old man with a broken arse, I would totally be doing the bidet of my dreams in that bathroom. 🙂 Great stuff Alexandre, looks fantastic!
“Broken arse” sounds like a cautionary tale.
Man! Are you going to use some 3d printing for the storage space? Love this series keep it up!
Did you fill the wall hole completely with bricks again or just the outside?
Applying even coats of mortar or plaster to walls is surprisingly simple for those with knowhow Alex dude..
Really..
Give it a try and see,
Most importantly make the render a bit wetter for extended run time..
I would definitely put a safe in the space behind the shower wall! :-)
With the price of wood theses days, those plywood 2x4's look tempting...
Nice job..Alex..keep posting video😝😝
Whenever it's done you should have Nerdforge do some art for it
Fantastic, Didn't know that we had/used metal frames here in Norway.
Are you planning on doing any smarthome thing to the apartment? First thing I thought about when you said led lightning in the shelves :)
Skulle du ikke ha litex på badet?
Cool! For the plumbing box, you could try make a small door that matches the ceiling, perhaps with a push latch so that it's disguised and out of the way. Then again, it might be hard to see if someone else needs to shut the water off. :P

Doesn't all those bathroom brickwalls need som insulation? for humidity at least from the shower? cool video

did you bought all those tools?
Also forgot to ask why didn’t you use pressure treated lumber in the restroom/bathroom?
Love it
Regular viewer ❤️
Is it okay to use plywood in the shower in Norway? It is against the rules in Sweden.
Same rules i think, everything will be covered in another layer ;)
@@achappel Wonderful! I thoroughly enjoy all your videos! Great choose of TECE toilet cistern as well.
Looking good! Creating something always feels good :-)
Looks great, but I am slightly concerned with all the wood in a space that will be wet a lot of the time. In my experience it can be super hard to waterproof everything 100%, But I am sure you have already thought of a solution, so looking forward to seeing it.
