Repairing ROTTED Framing in a Disaster Shower 

Love doing that 👍👍

I’ve got decades of carpentry, painting and remodeling experience. Now I’m just a DIYer. I’ve ran into this situation dozens of times and WISHED i had seen this tip earlier!! Excellent wisdom from these guys always. Will definitely put this trick into my bag. Thank you!

@@kevinwaycaster Or just learn some basic electrical skills. That was one wire was running thru about 10 studs. It would've been much easier to just pull the wire out the way, both for the demo and to sister new studs in place.

Really appreciate the comment, thx a million👍👍

Yeah great to see y'all working together awesome content

Glad you had those wonderful experiences. My dad lets me do it by myself. Then afterwards he tells me how it should’ve been done. Smh

the music sucks

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.

Wow!!! I wished I would have read your post before I just spent the entire day tearing out drywall to treat the would with Concrobium

Thanks for this! I am about half way through the demo of our shower that didn't have a membrane and water was leaking under the tile floor. I even found plywood and fiberglass insulation that was covered in mold inside the drywall. I'm going to have to have some of the wood cut out and replaced but thanks for mentioning the primer.

You got it thx Jim 👍

Thanks! Will do!

I guess Im kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good site to watch new series online ?

@Lachlan Jaziel I watch on flixzone. You can find it on google :)

👍👍

You got it Ryan 👍. Best of luck on your project 💪

Thank you!!

You absolutely can handle drywall. I've done it in every apartment I've ever had. There are sprays just for it. Read your can at your store my guy.

I knew the mold police would be in the comments. No need for a "pro". Just because someone bought a franchise doesn't make them a pro. Me? I would replace that drywall. Mold is everywhere. Don't go outdoors!!! ReeEEee!

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.

RMR-86 & RMR-141

Thanks 👍

Here's a secret and since this is an older video no one's gonna see it 🤫 On our most recent video where we're laying Tile, we accidentally cracked a tile. 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

I agree! I’m 74 and while there was drywall repair being done I asked one of the guys if I could try. He said sure. I did and later watched several videos and later asked him to show me how to tape a corner - he did. It was so much fun! I later re-mudded my kitchen wall because it had a bumpy surface. So funny- they were speechless. Pays to pay attention.

Thx Martin, much appreciated!!

Thx Bill 👍👍

Great work. But, do we need that super loud music?

In my experience, whenever I saw cardboard under drywall, it was a makeshift shim for the wrong thickness sheetrock. Saved them a trip, and they never figure anyone will ever see it.

Thanks 👍

Thanks for the support Se7enity!

@@StudPack that’s ok. I have learned something. I did not know that bronze wool existed and it is perfect for keeping critters away.

Thx Barrett 👊

Thx Christopher 👍👊

@@StudPack Thanks!

did this lots of times renovattion carpenter

Thx Fabian!!

Thanks!

I use RMR-141. It kills the mold and when it dries the residual acts as a deterrent to future mold growth.

QD 64 Is the best IMO

Yes.Totally agree on mold remediation properly done before replacing wood studs. It not only prevents the new studs and future wall from black mold, but adds profit $$$ to your overall job. I won't rebuild any wall without this procedure.

Mold Control is designed for non-porous surfaces only. It is not intended for wood which is porous. RMR-141 is better suited for treating wood.

@@daleseger4215 This is the right stuff!

thanks Hamp!!

I was thinking the same thing. You can't just cover it up or it'll keep growing and there'll need to be a 4th bathroom renovation. Vinegar kills mold. Most people think of bleach, but bleach makes mold "retreat" to a new area to thrive but doesn't kill it. Vinegar doesn't necessarily make it look any different visually, per say, but it does kill it so it won't keep growing.

I would definitely spray some mold killing primer on that.

As a certified mold remover. I would’nt let any mold in the wall. You should always remove every bit of it at least 16 ‘’ past any bad area . Also PT is not allowed inside. That looks like a do it again job. Don’t let Mike Holmes see this. 🤨

@@yvesouellette9612 This is exactly what I was waiting for someone to comment on (16"). Thanks Yves. You're the man:)

Our pleasure!

Welcome to Stud Pack Josh!

it's not black mold

Don't look now...but mold in all colors has been around since creation.

My thoughts exactly

@@GreenPowerFarm what is it then? Lol

@@supersayainjesus7204 Mildew

Yes he does !

I have black mold in my house I already removed the drywall I have minimal rotten but m not sure how to deal with it can you share your method with me I'm afraid it's between the exterior metal if I spray it really good is it gonna be ok or do I have to take the outside of my house as a last resort

@@austinstaton5277 First, I am no expert. I am just some guy that bought a home sight unseen. I had success because I removed & replaced all wood studs & sole plates that were infested with mold or mildew. Then to both the new wood and the existing wood not infected, I applied Moldez Mold killer inhibits the growth and spread of mold and mildew. It wipes on and wipes off. I applied this first and let dry. Then I painted all exposed wood surfaces with Zinsser Mold Killing Primer. Finally, I sealed my concrete floor with Red Guard waterproofing and crack prevention membrane--a rubberized sealer to prevent hydrostatic infiltration of moister from the ground (no vapor barrier installed in 1959.) All these products I bought at Home Depot. As to your question about removing the outside wall -- I was able to remove infected studs from the interior BUT and this is a big butt, I had to repair and replace the sheathing because it was nailed to the studs. I did the sheathing work after the weather warmed and installed James Hardy siding to match my existing and covering the now missing window. If it is mildew on the metal you are concerned about, the Zinsser should protect you after you clean the mold that is there now. The key to success in mold control is controlling the moisture and/or water penetration. You should have and use a bathroom fan to remove humidity after showers, etc. ** If you have more than a three foot square area, I'd advise professional mold abatement. The health of you and your family is worth the expense. **
