095: Remove a Fiberglass Bathtub and Surround Jul 27, 2015

Are you remodeling your bathroom?

One of the first things you’ll need to do is remove the old bathtub.

Today’s podcast lesson discusses how to remove a fiberglass bathtub and surround.

You’ll have to disassemble all the plumbing from the tub then cut it into pieces.

Reciprocating saws are the best tool for any demo work, and in particular taking apart fiberglass bathtubs.

089: Tiling with the Best Thinset...Ardex X 77 Jul 17, 2015

Show notes

What’s the best way to adhere tile?

Thin-set, plain and simple.

But which thin-set is the best for tiling showers or floors?

Lately we’ve been digging Ardex’s X 77 because it can handle large formate tiles that are heavy. The cool part about X 77 is that it keeps large tiles sticking to the wall and is easy to spread.

The consistency should be like whipped icing, which means anyone can spread Ardex X 77 with a trowel.

In this podcast we also mention Schulter Kerdi and Wedi as great substrates for shower tiling projects.

088: Cutting Drywall with the RotoZip Jul 16, 2015

Show notes

What’s the easiest way to cut holes in drywall?

It’s not with a manual saw.

If you want an easy way to cut the outline of lights or electrical boxes in drywall the RotoZip is the way to go.

I recently saw my buddy Steve from SRW Contracting use the RotoZip during our bathroom remodeling video series.

We drywalled the ceiling and had to cut out the areas for the lights and fan. His cuts were perfect.

Drywalling is so much easier with this affordable tool.
