Floating a Shower for Tile --- Grandpa Bath Episode 6 

well they do make redwood lathing strips.

Remember! Immigration has cut a deep hole in the tile contractor's and tile setter's earnings. I watched it happen. From when I was this worker's age and I was still young like him. Until today. There was a time in 1988 when I would not have left the house unless I knew that I'd make at least $200/day and often $300/day. Then both the conservatives (who love the cheap labor and leftists (who love their cheap cause) conspired to ruin the American worker. Meanwhile referring to all who oppose open borders as 'racists". I have never met a pro-immigration worker who has lost a good paying love these college leftists have always been very generous with other peoples' money.

Hard work that's why we watch you on RU-vid no more real man anymore thank you tellalievison

Yea sure

I did my own also after a Bad Kitchen contractor I had to finish that myself and do the Bathroom. I was a auto tech for many many years so I am very mechanically inclined. All these videos helpedso much it isn't funny . Thanks so much for sharing your skill with all of us.

i did my own roof because there were so many shitty roofing contractors that didn't know what they were doing. so i watched a few youtube videos, did my own roof, and now im making big bucks doing roofs for other people!

Couple of years star leaking for suremateurs...

Same.

Yes! Thank you!

So...less than novice here🤣 if you put the durarock up that's waterproof, all you have to do is tape and thin set your joints?? Float? And then tile? No need to hydro band over the float??

float and set a 3 wall in a day. Float and finish at noon and then stack the 4x4s. Thinset really bites into the wet mud.

It may save time, but when he is done, you tap on the walls and they're going to be hollow, the wire was not nailed, they're going to start to separate, tiles will start cracking with time.

i think it depends on the world your in ;). in my world of business its the other way around. very hard to get to older guys to work and not affecting the younger hard working guys with that mentality

@@Timberjagi I can see what you mean

How about a stand for your saw???

So you need to make it all about you?

Its the best lasts forever, like that you actually save yourself money and your client saves money in the long run.

Everyone has an opinion on blue collar vs white collar jobs. I’m 26 and make almost $100k a year at my white collar job. Full benefits, air conditioning etc. Blue collar jobs are back breaking work, sweaty, sometimes unsafe. Breathing in dust and fumes working on your knees and bending at your back. A gym membership is literally $20 a month.

A hard labor job is nothing like going to the gym, that’s the reason many people who work hard manual labor still go to the gym.

@@mlyniecm if you're out of shape yes, true for half of what you said, but if you're proactive and staying healthy and happy where you work and using it as a mode of gaining experienced muscle, getting a workout, then you're getting fit and making your body stronger. Unless you can't think right or process everything correctly and are working in a risky manner and harming your body. Saying that hard work or labor intensive work is "nothing" like going to the gym is an exaggeration or just nay saying, but yes the gym is almost an extra. I do it. Just to be healthier and look healthier. Wise men always tell you "the lazy and the ones not wanting to work hard will always get hurt because their body isn't ready for intense labors, and they'll end up working harder to makeup what they avoided as a youth", its why people are more likely to get hurt when they hate their job.

@@DodgeandGMkiIIingFurdDaiIy Show me something where you made anywhere near 100k and I’ll quit my job right now and come work for you .

My pleasure

@@TileCoach o ok i only saw the durock on the wall. Maybe i didnt here you say what the actual product was. But thank you for getting with me. :)

What size staple are those? That seems like alot of weight with wire, float,thinset, then tile. Seems like alot of wieght for such a small staple. Here in so cal that wouldnt pass inspection. They want 1 inch staples. 3 to 4 inches apart. Like the videos always good to have a learning community. Keep building
