I can feel the pride you guys have in doing work correctly. The instructions are clear and you talking through your process is very effective.

I sure like that you show it like it is, and give your honest opinions of what it will take to do it !!!!! No fluff or sugar coated truth, just telling it like it is !!!!! Showing it as it goes along, and what you should do to do a good job. And the tips and tricks are greatly appreciated !!!! You are the kind of guy I would hire and not worry about if you are cutting corners or short cutting to increase YOUR profit !!!! I see always top notch work and loving care on the installations !!!! Great work, can't wait for the next job video !!!!!!!!

Thank you for showing how to do things right. I just demolished a bathroom from the previous owner who used porous marble everywhere and no waterproofing whatsoever on the shower curb and drywall. It was a moldy disaster leaking water all through the basement. All the framing was rotted 2x2 toothpicks. It truly boggles the mind. I am reframing like you demonstrated and installing a full Kerdi system. No more toxic bathroom.

This video has been really helpful. I stated tearing out my master walk in shower and while I’m only a little ways into removing the tiles, I can already see I’m going to have to replace some of the studs where they are rotten. Thank you for posting all the videos. It’s truly helpful.

Have to say I like watching the videos you are doing. Paul you come across as a really likeable man. Someone who knows what he is doing and takes pride in your work. You are a dying breed!! Hopefully your son will appreciate what you are teaching him...You will never be out of work if you do a good job and if you are good with your hands. From one tradesman to another keep up the good work.....

I enjoy seeing the way you two work together, it reminds me of working with both my father and my father in law. They're gone now, but not forgotten. I learned so much from both of these men, especially that when you're doing a job, for yourself or someone else, do it right! Enjoy your time together, and keep up the great work!

You simply need to dull the tip of the nail with your hammer before nailing to avoid splitting. An old carpenters trick I learned back in the early 80's from an old carpenter.

Great work! As an FYI, the mold will cross contaminate other spaces through the HVAC ductwork and any other opening. 90% of the time the homeowner won’t have a clue, until a kid starts wheezing soon after demolition or the homeowner smells something. 90% of those won’t do anything about it, BUT there’s ALWAYS that ONE owner who will KILL your business!! Another point is that any drywall that has mold has to come out. Can’t spray bleach or anything else on it because it just makes things worse! Call a pro!

Mold spores can be found everywhere, that's how the mold got in those hidden places to begin with! Just stop the moisture and you stop the mold for spreading. Filter any air with hepa vaccuum during the process if you have any concern of spores spreading.

Note on mold. We had a bad mold problem and I went thru 4 gallons of Concrobium, over several applications, before realizing it's simply not effective in porous materials (as the label states). The deeply embedded mold just grows back in a week. Concrobium works by crushing the molecules when drying, but only the molecules it comes into contact with and it has no affect on future growths (ie: the mold re-growing from within). So, after allowing to fully dry, and possibly after washing, sanding, plaining off the infected wood, follow it up with Zesser Mold Killing primer (available in 13oz spray cans). It is the only product that works on porous surfaces like 2x4s. Or even just skip the Concrobium step. I've only used the paint-on gallon version of the primer. It's much thicker so may soak deeper & leave a thicker barrier, but I know for sure the Concrobium isn't permanent. Also, if there's some future leak, it'll protect the wood somewhat. I've taken to applying a coat to all the studs before drywalling. It's an extra "theoretically unnecessary" step, but should there be another leak, it'll somewhat mitigate against stud damage and mold.

We pulled the entire tile down, removed the adhesive and grout. Re did the whole thing. Stuff like that goes on behind the scenes more than you know! Thanks Arnold

Love the videos, I like the way you explain things. Definitely support this channel

Looks way better,alot of people would have covered over that, you did it the right way!

Yes a couple of weeks ago window leak caused multiple dry rot to stud, I did what you did and splice some of the structure and also laid a piece of pressure treated to the base. I am glad I did it right

Always take the extra couple seconds to bend nails over either with your thumb or hammer. I was the lucky one to step on a proud nail shortly after saying something about it to my guys when we were doing the demo for a house addition. And Imperial blades are the best I've found!

Welcome to Stud Pack Josh!

I know this is coming late, but I'm surprised how casually you handled the black mold. BEFORE replacing the stud patches, you should have used a mold killer spray to kill the mold... Then let dry completely... And then vacuum with a HEPA unit... I'd do the entire bathroom since you disturbed the mold. As for mold on the drywall goes, it should have been removed completely and replaced. Yes, a bigger job, but easily explained to the homeowner. Remember, take the attitude, "I can see it from my house", even if it isn't. Otherwise, great videos showing all the details and problems that can arise.

I’m redoing a bad shower myself as we speak. My master shower looked about like this one so I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your videos. I’m a DIYer and this is my first shower to completely redo. I feel better prepared watching your excellent videos. I do have one question (who am I kidding-I have a million questions- lol) but here’s this question. When framing up areas of 2x4’s that I’ve cut out, due to rot, can I screw the new boards back into place instead of using a framing gun? I noticed you used a framing gun, was that just for your ease or is there a reason? Thank you so much. Keep up the great work and videos!

Like American Patriot said, Nails are better for framing. You can either nail by hand or gun using 16d common or sinker 3 1/2" nails or you can sometimes use screws but they need to be structural screws and it is dependent on your local code.

Yep, those pieces showing mold from the backside need to go, that Sheetrock is toast anyway. The sill plate under the shower valves I would have raised up to level or above existing before setting the pressure treated since I would not want it to be the lowest elevation in the bathroom. Pressure treated is forgiving to water for a while, but not indefinitely.

I’m in the middle of a similar job myself and agree with most of your methods here. I don’t know if I missed something but I think you should’ve spent a few moments talking about mold remediation. Although I’ve treated all exposed obvious moldy areas, one that stymies me is the moldy and decaying Sheetrock that is behind the studs in an area that isn’t accessible, between the studs and a brick wall. I’m considering breaking it out and wedging cement board in that space or using hardening foam. Have you ever used those in this type of situation?

Thank you guys im about to do the exact same repair in my shower
