sides first and leave this last All Right Drywall anywhere there's moisture laundry rooms bathrooms I don't know about kitchens probably not the kitchens uh you got to use this green stuff it's mold resistant [Music] now that the drywall's hung we got to start taping all the seams though when we use large format towel it looks good [Music] so the new water valve finally showed up I got on Amazon 160 bucks as you can see we're gonna need to cut this off put a new 2x4 that's recessed in and then um re-uh re-center it shouldn't be too hard but we all know that things are always going to go wrong [Music] the catch this almost looks like a antique artifact wow okay so this is where the spout for the tub comes in I didn't realize it would be awkward to put a regular there so this seems more perfect for the regular so I have to cut the drywall that I already put on first mistake check [Music] usually it's a piece of copper and then you slide it on there's a little Allen key to tighten it but this one you have to screw it in so the solution is we're going to use galvanized steel this is five and a half inches long by half inch screw that in and then screw this in place I just have to make sure my spacing is correct to make sure to accommodate tile and drywall but apart from that little Teflon tape we should do it I've done five Showers of my time and one thing that I keep always screwing up on is making sure my drop ear is in the right proximity to account for the rod that's going in there for the shower sprayer and the tile and the drywall every single time after Tinker with so right now I'm going the extra mile on my sixth shower make sure it's down gone perfect and that is just putting a stop cap on there because we need to go pressurize this all right the water main line is turned on I'm watching for leaks I'm probably gonna check this for the next hour make sure nothing's leaking not even a small drip sometimes these little female connectors the Teflon maybe you didn't put enough rotations in there and then I'll be comfortable putting my drywall back on mudding the rest of it as you can see already started I just need to float it because for similar to reason there's a lot of off balance parts so I want to make sure my tiling job is going to be superb okay everything is floated seems pretty even I didn't do a crazy perfect job so I'm just going to lightly say make sure I get rid of any kind of bumps grooves and then we can start applying our waterproofing…
