Same. I’ve probably said that exact same sentence verbatim on more than one job. So nice to see someone else who actually cares.

Thankyou! Having two of you really helps putting things in simple terms, like "short one" and "all of this or just the square" is what all us diy people think when we try to fail at doing something. Both of you do amazing work!

Damn, been following you guys for years and just came across this 4 year old video. You’re still about the only guys on KZread that did a curbless shower on a concrete slab. I expected no less. Loving the new garaj mahal build.

Thanks for checking out our old stuff D! It’s an oldie but a goodie

I decided to watch all these guys videos from the beginning. The craftmanship and quality are amazing. Such honest, humble, and hardworking people are so rare nowadays. Even if the work is going to be covered by dry wall or toilet, it is still solid quality behind it. Masterpiece.

This guy and his son are a rare breed I respect their work ethic/quality Enjoyed this video

Watched you guys 4 years ago when this came out, and again today when I have to it this myself. I liked you back then, and you have only been improving!!

You both are so respectful and thoughtful in all of your work

you guys are doing good work, i really apreacit your tips and tricks. the way you guys teach is the best way. I am as well doing a whole house remodel hall bath from a 1950s house in to a two bath. For a customer and you got one thing right its a lot of work. Most people don't realize all the little things you don't see till the walls start going up.

Man you guys are the best. Watching it over and over, gained confidence, about to do it. I have the tools. I'm actually going to practice the leveling and downslope on a makeshift sandbox. I'll send pics when I tackle it all. thanks again!

I've followed you (both) for a couple of years. I just watch this video. . . . WOW you guy have improved. ConGrat's !!!

Been watching you guys lately. You've come a long way in your presentation but always great work on jobsites. Love your work. Keep it up.

Great work gentlemen, glad your dad give great tips for DIY’s, as a old new draftsmen that is so great see these days

I have the same Porter Cable sidewinder and I swear it never quits. I've beat the heck out of my for years and it's just keeps on going.

Superb work. Such great explanations to the ignorant (me!) in how you bring things to such beautiful finish!

So glad I found your channel! I'm doing this same project in my master bath this weekend. Likely going to film and post it as well. Great stuff!

Just ran across this one, I must of missed it before. Gotta say you guys have evolved in being more comfortable with the camera and dialog. Great channel.

Keep up the hard work! We appreciate you both!

Hi .The best I love , and I realy needed to know , was the work u did in your lovely Mom . U made my day . I loved it 😊😘😇❤👀❤🕯❤☕🙏🙌👍👏👏󾓦✟✟✟󾓦 LORD be with u all .😘

Very cool to see SPs older video and to notice progress of your channel. We can say now “this is old-school SP”. No music, different editing, different dynamics between you guys vs now. Also now you are rocking your own merch. No more sport brands. Same old quality with new and improved SP flavor! Most importantly a healthy father-son relationship from the day one! And yes, I will chip that like button, self-level the bell and sledge hammer that share. All the best crew.

I have that same porter cable saw. Bought it at a yard sale for $10. It works great still for the last two years.

Nice job! Liked the idea of watery thinset as a bonding agent.

very enthusiastic young man working with dad , when i worked with my dad it didnt go well at all he expected more from me than the guys he actually paid and we fought all day plus i had to drive home with him 😒😒😒😒🙄 . good for you guys seems as if you make a great team and definitly do good work .

Great job guys. Loving the content.

Great job!! Seriously you found your calling, both of you!

Man, I've learned so much watching your videos. It gives me a lot of confidence. I love when you explain the little details. Thank you so much.

great job thanks for sharing higly confident now to finish my standing shower. cheers from Grand valley Ontario CA

Some serious thunder there 🥳 nice content, i really like that the tools arent the most hightech you can buy. Gives that homemade feel that we mostly need here 👍👍👍

Use a dot laser on door framing, window framing etc. Make a mark say like 3” from bottom of your stud, then put your Dot Laser on that 3” mark Dot Laser will shoot that red dot straight up/down. Go to top of stud put your tape measure against the top of stud. Adjust stud until the red dot hits that 3” mark! Really helps me & is a great tip! 👌👌Great job on this Video! Keep um coming!👍👌💪👊

You get a lot of satisfaction out of knowing the job is done perfectly like that. If you’re like me, getting to that skill level requires learning from past mistakes.

Great help. Thanks for the effort! Loved the thunder. Cheers

Check out some stuff from Baton Rouge industries, makes anything waterproof, check out their video on you tube,, it’s called deaqua lube, c139

Hooray! No obnoxious hard rock during time lapse sequences. Did not have to mute this video once. Nice work.

very nice , yea 5 does sneak up on you especially when you are making progress and feels great !

I like the idea of scoring / cutting the concrete. With my lack of experience I probably would have just spiked it then chipped it. Way more dust and way more vibration/fatigue. This is better as you only need to use the sds/demo hammer one time.

Great job!!! A blessing to see a father and son team! 💯

Thank you the most complete step by step process and explanation. Of a curb-less are on slab.

Thanks! You guys are a great team ❤

I learn something new with every video I watch of you guys. I’m obsessed

Just stumbled upon you guys. Watched the entire thing thru...immediately subscribed after 5 mins though. I really appreciate the level of detail you both describe as your working. I don't know much so I'm trying to learn as much as I can for when I do my bathroom shower. Definitely got some more pointers.

Ok, as I watched you addressed the water electricity question. Good vid

I love roughing in toilets that way! When the floor is finished we just use a multi-tool to cut the 4” pipe flush and then use a flange that fits into the 4” pipe like you described. Sink four tapcons and we’re good to set the toilet.

They make a good father and son team. I have to complete remodel my 3/4 bath. Got 2 teenagers to help and learn.

Hi GUYS. This is great information. Its the video I NEEDED at the time at needed it the most. Never done anything like this but, im turning my old style plastic tub and destroyed it and doing something similar to you alls set up to use as a handycap all accessible Shower.Still in good shape but just thinking into the future, I already ran into trouble and found serious termite damage. Still determined to do it all by my self

Great job guys!!!!

Great videos and you guys do great work. Extremely informative videos…..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

i love the video. great details explaining the pitch and how apply the thinset and the concrete mix. i have a question, what do you recommend to use on first floor which has a 3/4" plywood for the base and using the pebble stones? and how deep did you cut the floor with the diamond blade?

I had a neighbor with a quadriplegic wheelchair bound son and he contracted the construction of a roll-in shower. He used a preformed granite slab for the sloped floor. I'm sure that your method was much more affordable.

I was going to do this in my basement remodel but I chickened out and just bought a fiberglass one. Nice job

Great job. You should think about making a dedicated saw for this job specifically. I drilled and tapped a hole in the shroud of my skilsaw where I inserted a brass fitting to adapt a 3/8” tubing to the lavatory angle stop. This will help free up your assistant to vacuum up the water. Just a helpful tip. God bless

Hey Paul, I have a question. When setting your first flange in the drain pipe; how much gap do you want from the bottom of the flange to the surface of the concrete slab?

Great work! I’ll be pouring a 4” thick slab home soon with radiant heating lines within it and I want to do a curb free 32”x72” shower. How would you recommend recessing the area and how deep?

Im proud to say im from Puyallup WA. It's totally kool to know your Washingtonians!

Awesome work aside, can you teach a class on fatherhood? There are so many guys out here missing the mark when it comes to teaching their kids to take pride in your work, supporting them and actually teaching them something that they can carry with them their entire lives. Kudos to you sir.

Currently in the building process and a bath tub including the plumbing was left out... what is the estimated cost of breaking up the concrete, adding a vent for the bathtub and water lines, etc? Builder doesn’t want to hold back the progress to make it happen

That came out really good! I know exactly what to do now!! Haha

It was a very neat educational video. Keep it up!

I just wish I could say as much for the customers for which I work. What a bunch of pigs is most customers.

hey guys quick question the existing concrete slab where you cut out for the shower screed is obviously flat not slopping? does this affect water run off at all or is it really minimal being only 4 inches or so from the wall

Great info!

I love the "not knowing when to stop" comment Ive been guilty of a pump sprayer and rounded pool float...

That "missing water hose "was Really God setting them up to take a break😂dang terminators

Construction genius!

Had this reccomended today. It's amazing how far you all have come and how much more comfortable you are on camera. Do you script things a bit more now? Or is it just a matter of you all found your groove?

Did you make a follow up video on waterproofing shower pan. I see the Schluter drain. Did you use the fabric over the mud bed?

Gotta love Porter Cable!!!

Hi any videos you know of regarding adding shower drain to toilet drain on concrete slab ?? The cast iron pipe for the toilet come up so I need to cut before toilet flange ??Thank you!

Hey @StudPack! Long time listener; first time caller. One of my favorite early videos from you guys, and proud of the upward momentum you have earned. Was there ever a follow up to this video specially about waterproofing then tiling this bathroom? Thanks!

This is the greatest video ever! Exactly what I'm gonna do but with linear drain. Question, how far below the floor is your drain, looks to be about 1" (I think you said 1/2" per foot).

At 12:20 - i wish I got see your process for the thunder around the drain. Super important step

Excellent!

I have been following you guys on your current dream house build and came across this video because my friend and I are thinking of tackling this project. I am just curious, after the dry pack step, how do you water proof the floor?

Hey guys, did you just tile over the slab? Confused didn't see the follow up video on waterproofing.

Outstanding Job again! OORAH

Question.. Why'd you use the thin set and paint it on and then the quikrete on top for the shower base? Tip- ram set is soo much nicer for affixing studs to concrete, easygoing and fast😁

I wish you guys could redo my small basement bath! The previous owners definitely weren't up to code. I'd trust you guys any day!

This is awesome. Would love to see the finished bathroom

Hey Paul, what mortar did you use to fill the void under the drain?

I had to laugh cuz I did but great composure in your lesson on the pipe after somebody farted and you didn't laugh you wanted to but you didn't laugh LOL good job lol

Is there a part 2 to this video? I’m wondering if you need any type of water barrier?

Pretty much the same way I did my last curbless shower on a slab, where is the follow up on the finished product though ? Nice Tundra 👍 I have a 2010 and love it !

Sooo the wet circular saw on slab. Ive typically key cut like 1.5" relief on perimeter using makita with shop vac and plastic off room. Im curious on what looks like a well ventilated remodel this wasnt used. To avoid the slurry in drain and having to flush trap. Genuinely curious. Not hate love all of the content guys. Ive been down here in florida for 15 years doing tile and kitchen bath remodels and always looking for more info and to improve. I just know that on many jobs any kind outside mess is a huge no no! Most of the snowbirds in FL really strive to make there lawn like Delaware and you cant even toss out your water bucket outside. Let alone flush a trap. I do like the idea of a hose to spray out drain over the full respirator mask plastic and negative. Theres no issues down stream like with exterior washout??

@@surffish386 You can see a black rag in the drain beginning at 16:07. I mentioned earlier in the video that years ago I had to replace a p trap in a floor drain because the concrete finishers let the slurry harden in the p trap. Lesson learned and always a good reminder, I should have pointed that out again, thanks Weston.

I came for the curbless shower install....... I stayed because of the fart ROTFLMAO Great work guys !! cant wait to get mine started.

Can you lay tile right on that or do you need a liner?

Did you guys keep hitting the blade with water the whole time it was running or just kindy keep the area wet?Thanks for all the content love it guys

Is it feasible to do this on an entire 5x8 bathroom? I'm guessing I'd have to cut out the entire floor. But could I get enough slope to make a difference? Right now I have water that sets for days because there's no airflow through the room. I want to slope the whole floor towards the shower drain to get rid of the puddle.

My old man always said, "Know when to say when." lol

Great video! Thank you for the content. It is evident that you take a great deal of pride in your work. I know that someone can make any job look "neat" in their video with editing, but this is an obvious representation of your careful and considerate craftsmanship. Not only did you keep you primary task clean and neat; even in brief background shots that might look like a disaster area in some other videos, your job-site was pristine. I'm not sure if it was all you, considering you obviously had other trades coming in, but given the materials in inventory in the background, and your reference to longer term phases of the project, I'm assuming you're the lead on this. That organization and neatness says a lot about the way you respect the time your customer is paying for (assuming this isn't your own home). Kudos! That said, I have a question about the use of wet thinset on the slab just prior to dry-pack. Would it be equally effective to use a bonding agent (blue-glue, as a like to call it) over the existing slab before setting the mud base, or is the wet thinset used for a better reason? It looks like you may be new to the KZread thing from your subscriber count, but the content suggests you're miles ahead of that subscriber count. I'm very much looking forward to more videos from you! Subscribed!

Hey Richard thanks for the kind words! We're glad you enjoy the videos. Dry pack mortar will not properly adhere to concrete on it's own. It's moisture content is way too low. We intuitively know that two bricks won't stay together without mortar. Think of the concrete slab as one brick and the dry pack as another. The thinset slurry bonds them together like mortar between two bricks. Stay tuned for more videos we got some awesome stuff coming out this week!

the Blue Glue as you referred to it , is the new school. Old school is the slurry made of portland cement you see here. I learned that from Mike Haduck ✌🏽

Good stuff

You seem down. Hope all is well. I started watching you with your extension cord video, and haven’t missed one yet.

Im basically doing this same exact job. But the shower is custom and has different measurements from every wall.

How much to cut out the floor around the drain?
