So much intrigue. I'm glad that people can appreciate it. 😜

Thanks for the tip! God bless you.

Nice job.

You're welcome! Hope you and ma got it all squared away.

Glad it helped!

@@diyamerican so what kind of material do u need to use to put around toilet? Or does it matter? Also what tool was that to cut circle?

Thanks Pamela! Glad it helped.

Thanks Goomba! And thanks for being nervous for us! 😁 God bless you!

Thanks for sharing your story! Unconventional repairs are often just the ticket to fix some problems. Sounds like you found a great fix for the issue! Have a blessed day!

Thanks Sarah! That's very sweet of you to say. Have a blessed day!

Yeah these types of repairs are definitely no fun! I'm glad the video helped slightly with the fear issue. 😁 God bless!

Good questions! I'll have to ask my friend Dennis (the guy in the video). He's our resident expert in rotted floors. Thanks for watching! Have a blessed day!

Thanks Salvador! That's exactly why we make these videos... For others like us who aren't professionals but want to try things out! God bless you!

Every time I work at the coast.

A lot. Usually it’s the joist right under the edge of the tub that gets rotted out the worst, because it either wasn’t caulked right, or it wasn’t re-caulked every so often, so the caulk deteriorates and water gets down in there. It’s super important to caulk that edge really good, and re-do it every 4-5 years or so, just to minimize the chance of leakage, and DON’T get out of the shower wet, dry off BEFORE you step out onto the floor! Thats probably the biggest factor. It might not seem like a lot of water to make that big a difference, but if you do that every day, it stays continually wet and never really gets a chance to dry out. Wet wood is no bueno for a number of reasons, rot and mold being the two biggest.

Good luck Jeri! You can do it! God bless!

Particle board is junk. I'm replacing it in the kitchen and bathrooms in a house built in the 70s. Moisture turns it to sawdust and over a long period of time has divets where the kitchen floor was nailed down under the linoleum flooring.

Amen. Particle board is the worst!

I'm a terrible plumber! Ask my friend Dennis from the channel "The Shack That Dennis Built". He's the main guy in this video. God bless!

A friend of mine I used to work with told me to cut the replacement sub floor directly where the pipe hole would be two halves. Then put the new floor underneath the flange.

Thanks for sharing that info Agustus! God bless you.

When you pulled that flange up, it looked like the pipe came up with it. That should not have happened. That pipe is not held in by a compression fitting. If it is ABS, it should be glued. If it is cast iron, you need a plumber.

Thanks for the tips Paul! We're just figuring it out as we go. :)

Is this a " gee I have always wanted to fix a floor" vid? You got a suggestion for a better vid?

Sorry this is what's for dinner. Take it or leave it.

@@diyamerican fair enough.

Quiet you dolt.

You wouldn't! That would be a very bad idea!!!

@@diyamerican interested to know why I wanted to do this project and im wondering do I get newer materials? Well of course new plywood but what about flanges and toilets?

All dislikes from contractors

According to what I found online 3/4" is okay but it is the minimum that you should use. Have a blessed day!

We like to keep it raw and real.

Thanks Almer!

Good question. This was quite a few years ago. If you do it yourself though I don't imagine it would be more than $100 for the repair. Have a blessed day.

Thanks brother! God bless you!

Sorry, here's the tile job we did. It's on my friend's channel... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F_qqrqCHpSs.html

Pure comedy. 😝

Had a chipmunk in mine. Declared war on chipmunks after spelunking in the crawl space. Caught around a dozen with a box trap and gave them deep sea diving lessons. They all flunked the test in a couple minutes.

Awww poor little guys! 😥 Some of them could have been Alvin, Simon, and Theodore!!!

Lol. How did you know?

And wear PPE

I couldn't tell you exactly as this was a while back but I would estimate that it should be under $100 for everything.

@@diyamerican thank you much for timely response..okay I look into getting started week or so..

You're welcome Best of luck with your project! God bless.

I agree 100%. My friend Dennis, on the other hand, doesn't agree with us and probably has a much better immune system than you and I. 🤣

If you do it yourself probably around $100-$200 in supplies. If you hire a pro probably 3 or 4 times that amount. That's my best guess. Thanks for stopping by our channel, Francheska! God bless!

CAmerica is WAAAAAY off. Something like this tiny bathroom you can do it for $50, All you need is one sheet of plyboard a mere 15/16"(half inch) for like $16.00, screws($19.99) OR nails(13.99) 8p would meet code but 16p nails have more bite. I like to add a moisture barrier sheet so $24.00. If you hire a Contractor of course you have to pay for their time because that's the only a business will last, $200 or a tad more for this size and that's it. I hate it when people talk like asking a professional to do it so it's done right the first time that will be warrantied is a problem.

@@REVerbtalk I hate when people talk as though asking a professional to do a simple job is the only way to go and a homeowner should never do home repairs themselves. God forbid people be self sufficient especially when money is tight.

@@REVerbtalk It's a video showing how he did it and he said he isn't a professional at this. He did a pretty good job for a not being a pro. Now If you think you can do better make your own video and post it on YT. If not just shush..I hate people who thinking they know it all.

@@REVerbtalk 15/16 is nowhere close to a half inch!

Sorry about that. Here's part 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gAFuGdkksmg.html

And here's part 3. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F_qqrqCHpSs.html

A general contractor would be a good place to start. God bless!

Are you sure??? 🤣 Thanks for watching! Have a blessed day!

Probablemente. 🤠

We try to add a bit of excitement! We want you to feel like your watching a cop show. :)

Life can be a scary thing! Have a blessed day!

Hope you had some advil or something handy! Thanks for powering through! God bless you!

😁

Oh my. Oh my. I cant even watch

Just watch for the ridiculous entertainment value. 😝

and then go watch this and try not to throw up... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZnX_H-VH1cw.html

Sorry about that!

LOL! The answer is... no kind of professional at all!!! We are complete amateurs learning as we go and sharing our lack of skills with the world! :) Thanks for stopping by to watch our complete lack of professionalism! Hope you have a happy new year!

same to you

After doing this for several years now, we have discovered that a lot of people (us included) prefer to watch and learn from amateurs who speak their language instead of professionals who often use a lot of professional jargon and are hard to follow for us lay people. Anyway, people seem to enjoy what we're doing and we LOVE doing it, so there you go! Have a blessed day, and thanks for sharing your two cents! Cheers!

@@diyamerican Well, thank you. I guess that does makes perfect sense, and I must admit that your reasoning is sound. I have produced professional training videos for industry, which require complete accuracy, steady shots, proper editing, with full credits, blah blah blah... So I'm not used to the 'Amateur Instruction' genre. I was watching related videos because I had a similar 'rocking toilet' issue. I'm not a plumber, yet have always done my own plumbing. But right now, since I have a (temporary) health issue, I called a plumber for the first time in my life - I'm 66. You're gonna love this: I just paid $275 for a professional plumber to remove the toilet and replace the flange and feed water line. He's been working for the local (4-5 star) company for almost 20 years. He had a younger guy running to the truck for parts (trainee?) and they were done in about an hour. As they were leaving my driveway, I went upstairs to look at the job. It was dripping water at the brand new feed line. He forgot to use pipe thread sealant or teflon tape. So I got my little jar of sealant, removed the line and fixed it in about 2 minutes. So I humbly admit that you are right. Anyone can make mistakes - I will eat my words. And I now have a new respect for people who help people, even if it's not perfect. Thanks for your great explanation and kind words!
