You're such a great teacher. Learning so much from your vids!
I really love how awesome of a team you’ve both become. As a man, becoming closer to my step father, I enjoy the work we do together. It’s calming and rewarding, and in the end, we look forward to a nice dinner with a beer.
This was amazing! He asked good questions that helped clarify things for me. All I need now is a house to put up a shed.
Watching Jeff paint is always is fascinating. He is so good ! He does all the little cutting strokes and feathering with ease. Every time I watch him I learn something new. Today's lesson is the one I struggle with most when painting - PATIENCE. Thanks Jeff and keep up the good work! Your lesson have saved me thousands to date.
When painting doors, it is important to not let the paint dry on you. I did not see the final product in the sun to see if his brush edges showed up. Generally, when I paint the door, I brush the edges of the top four panels but roll out the centers right away, and I don't go onto the main area until the centers are done with the small roller. Then roll the main area working down starting with the top half then to the bottom half, always trying to keep the edges wet until the area is done.
In the video, I could not tell the air temperature, or moisture level either. That also can either give you more time, or dry the paint quicker, like in 80 degree weather.
I have an old barn to refurbish. This whole shed tutorial will help me both save money and work smarter.
I was once helping my dad install an interior door. He was planning on teaching me how to do all the shimming stuff, but by some kind of miracle, it installed without needing any kind of shimming or leveling, or anything. It came out absolutely perfectly. And I attribute this to the door and the jamb, and the walls all being equal amounts of uneven and unlevel in just the right places.
Mat raised good questions. That's what we need.❤
young man learn from the best teacher ever, your Father.
God Bless you both.
Does he build houses?
Hey, Jeff. That strapping that you had to remove from the door frame is meant to hold the doors together on a pallet. They'll ship them 5 or 6 on a pallet and have that strapping for support during shipping. Store should be removing that when they load in on a sales floor so you don't have to.
Jeff, sorry to be the master of the obvious, I do love your videos. Rough frame in dimensions and actual door dimensions usually leave you with a far more space than you had here. You spent the first 14 minutes of this install dealing with having too tight of a rough frame in. If your framer is a Ninja Level 10 type then you can get away with a tighter opening. Typically the side rough opening is approx. 2" wider and the top rough is 1" taller. The shims and the level are your time saving friend-- and over-sandwich your shims and compress them with your installation screws.
Thanks again Jeff!
Exactly. You should know what your doing before posting a video. Whay isn't this sill plate moving over?? Really??
As always love your work Jeff.
Your kids are so lucky to have their old man with so much knowledge, patience and so importantly, humour!
Thanks for sharing this and thanks to your kids.
Merry Xmas and an awesome new year matey!!
You will have a cracking 2024!!
Mike-Barcelona
I need to send you a Father’s Day gift card. You should see all the projects I’ve done at this house based on your videos
As you started painting the door and talking. I thought that maybe you were channeling your inner Bob Rose. Love watching your knowledge in action it inspires me to build and repair around my house and property. Thank you
I've have had great luck with Rust-Oleum spray paint on exterior doors.
Like always, great video!
When HGTV comes knocking on your door! It will be due to this. This, in my opinion is what crafting is about. Being able to adapt is key to getting the job done. Well done.
As someone who works in home improvement retail, that's just the store being lazy and not removing the shipping strapping. They typically come upright on pallets of 5 to 6 doors and that strap stops them from shifting.
这个很常见，很多家居销售公司运送中，只负责送到目的地，其它一概不管
6:50 That's a #3 Phillips bit. And the reason they're there, is because the HD received multiple doors on a pallet. These doors are screwed with nylon straps to prevent their movement during shipping. Store associates are supposed to remove them when they stock them, however, sometimes people get lazy and only remove the screws on one side (the side facing the store aisle). lol
Thanks for sharing!
Love the work gents! I would recommend reading the door warranty card first. I found out that all of the jam had to be primed and painted or else the manufacturer wouldn't warranty anything on the door. Of course I found this out after the door was installed and siding put back on. End before the beginning everyone.
Just passing thru wanting to learn . For years husband, who is so talented built 1 1/2 houses lol for real tho, before me, married 31 yrs…..ANYWAYSfor years he could lift nothing heavier than gallon of milk. So I learned to do things just to make function. Cause I worked 12 to 14 hrs.
Got some big ole handsome grandsons . Sons in love too. I some good work done till no extra moolah just for minute. I love doin the little I’ve done. I certainly not woman’s lib
I do have a very talented fella that is willing and will help once ship arrives. I learned alot from door thing door only 3 yrs old and has settled with gaps of air this year. So thank you!
I’m also totally realize need to get you pros I’m thinking need to call new roof guy (3years ago). Window in same room falling from top, calling in troops after Christmas!!
Merry Christmas 🎄 can’t officially join yet. Thanks for letting me stroll through 😊
zip tape has a true stretchy version, no roofing nails.
As a tip for painting a door, take a wedge and wedge the bottom on the latch plate face and toss some cardboard under the length. It’ll steady the door, allow you to roll all sides without having to swing it. Toss some painters tape on the hinges and then knife the outline then just paint right over it.
You always share fun videos with us and I appreciate every minute of it. I always look forward to watching your new videos💞💞💞
Great idea 💡 👍 👏
Always a pleasure watching you teach , Matt or the rest of us the quirky little in's and do's to get some things square, flush. 🥶🖤🔔👍🏻💓.
Merry Holy-days 12/23/23
If you have a chance to spray the door the finish is second to none.
Perfect every time fu !
Thanks!
Former freight worker at Home Depot, those strapping and screws are from shipping. Most of the name-brand companies ship those doors standing up on two connected pallets. They ship 6-8 doors and strap each one to eachother.
Nice job Jeff and son! I hate doors and they hate me. I get extremely frustrated installing them especially if I'm working with an existing opening that is all out of wack and mending in existing siding.
I followed your video yesterday to install a door. I fought with it for almost 2 hours. It wouldn't lay flat, it wasn't sitting square. Nothing was right. I pulled it out and I found 2 little black plastic pieces stapled to the bottom of the door. it was packing material. Ugghhh. Once I removed those, the door was up in about 10 minutes flat!
Nice work. One suggestion; with such an utter flimsy factory door frame as I saw in the video, I would, before constructing any walls, have pre-made a strong, square and snug fitting door frame from beams around it on a workbench. Install that in place, and then build the walls left and right of it. This way once the walls are finished you have a really strong entrance, and that factory door including its flimsy doorframe will fit perfectly, without gaps .
Having learned from my grandfather, who built a lot of North Vancouver from the late 1930s through the 1960s, I was taught to kick the hinge side of the jamb outwards just a degree or two, to prevent the door from binding with the jam when it closes. Is this an outdated concept, or still an acceptable practice? I'm guessing it compensates for seasonal movement of solid wood, which most doors are not made of anymore.
Cheers!
Hi Jeff. A quick question. Which, in your opinion, is better finnish for hard wearing paint to use on exterior front door? Satin, matt or gloss please? Colour black. Excellent job on your shed, by the way. Awesome. Cheers.👍. Happy Xmas and a great 2024 to you and your family. Thank you for a great 2023. 👌
Yeah, those annoying random screws and banding straps on the sides of the jambs at 7:00 were to keep the shipping pallet of doors upright to prevent them from toppling over individually. Great vids!
make sure you use a square square, a level level and screw nails are a must.
Great job. What do you do about animals, skunks and raccoons going under the shed.
I like your son's hoodie!
I think the strap with a screw is intended to be a pull tab of sorts for the door from shelf storage.
The screws and the plastic band on the side are for shipping doors stacked up rite cut when displayed in store.
How to live with it not being perfect?? "...knowing that most doors aren't perfect. "😂 Nice one!
Hi Jeff what door would you recommend for my garage side entry door I should get? Fiberglass?
Have you checked that whiskey stick lately to make sure it reads true? Carpenters assume they are always accurate if there is no damage, which is incorrect. Craftsman used to,have a paper insert taped to every one with directions on how to check them for accuracy. I've actuality had to go through 2 or 3 before I could find a good one.
This is exactly what I’m about to do in my garage (right down to painting it black). I was thinking of spray painting to get a really smooth finish using Krylon Fusion. Any opinions on using spray paint?
Usually, you'd go flush with the drywall on the inside (0.5" past the frame, not flush with the frame). That's why it is 4.5" wide, it accounts for 0.5" outisde sheeting and 0.5" inside drywall, so the trim could stay level over the door frame and the sheeting.
I'm curious if you have tried over sizing the framing then shimming it. That's how the framers did it at my house. It seems easier than trying to square the framing. but maybe less sturdy?
the strap is so you can pull it around by yourself? and the screws for self depth install? I always take them all off. having just installed a dozen doors in my new home, 2 exterior I am now fully versed in door installation and cursed a lot at crooked framing and uneven floors.
Will you be adding tape to the 2x3 you added at the top of the door frame so it is waterproofed as well or will it stay that way?
Nice door with a metal plate on the lock side!
I live in Ontario Niagara region, do I need to get a permit first to build this same size 10x16 shed? Thanks for the info.
Great shed Jeff 💪🏽
What shoes are those you are wearing?
Way off topic….but you’ve helped me a lot by giving me the knowledge to DIY my basement. Could you do a video on how to frame an arch? For like a hallway or the opening of a walk in closet?
He's done a video like that and shows how to drywall it after.
Just search "home renovision arch"
It should be the first video that pops up. It is for me when I search it.
If you were going to insulate, would you insulate inside the wrap or outside thenwrap?
How do you level with the universe?
Question? What about expanding and contracting of wood..? I didn’t hear you talk about this point. I make clean space, when I install a door but summer months it gets tight..
Can I use plastic shims to eliminate the shim compression factor (vs. wood shims)?
Under the door, I made a pan out of 18ga stainless steel and all I needed was a grinder to cut it, a vise and a hammer to bend it. The steel I bought on ebay for around $30. Any DIY can do it. Or one can buy a plastic pan. Maybe it's just my problem, but the steel feels so much better than a plastic tape :-)
That's not a DiY level thing though
WAY easier than installing a door! If you can't do that, you can't install the door either :-) @@SophiaAphrodite
Well, I see both Sophia's and WW's points. It certainly can be done as DIY. However, it's a more advanced DIY project, and requires tools many don't have.
The same thing can be done with trim coil, or either vinyl or aluminum flashing. Any of those can be worked with a utility knife or snips, and work equally as well. One could also brush or spray on a couple of coats of Flex Seal.
Jeff should have also applied a double bead of silicone along the exterior edge between the tape and the door sill. He said he's forcing the water to run either in or out, but it shouldn't ever run in. Silicone would have stopped any flow inwards, so the water can only travel out where it needs to be.
Hey brother, I have a beam going across my ceiling in my 2. 1/2 car garage, can I attach a door to that. If you need pictures, I can send them to you.
Thanks
Roger
Hi Jeff, Rod in Ottawa, and member......just wondering who your go to lumber supplier in O-Town is? Merry Christmas!
I have always found it beneficial to pick up a couple extra packets of chop sticks when you order Chinese food. It's not that hard to open up one henge and glue in some chip sticks to take the slack up from worn out henge holes.
Tapes door frame for waterproofing then installs a untapped 2x4 to fill massive gap.
Matt never did this..........and i can see the look on his face thinking.......ok, i never did that. 😏👍
USA min 6” up the legs of the door with flashing. Minimum.
Please use a paint kettle to decant a small amount rather than hugging a can. 😊
What does the tattered flag with a cub paw symbolize? Matt
At 31:00 that really made a mess of the top piece of frame.
They come with the plastic straps to hold them in place during shipping, they should have been removed from the store when you purchased them.
"It's still the same thickness, but it's a thinner thickness"...
Hmmm...Must be a Canadian thing...
Alright
It’s just a shed anyway nice one 😂
Why not have the door swing out? It would give you more space in there.
So you can open it even after a dump of snow.
Because then somebody can just pop the hinges off or break in with a flat head screwdriver
So that it can rot in place as water dirt and snow accumulates in the recess and gets inside with you as you open the door inwards.
@@vschneider3389 But it's a shed you're not sleeping in there.
@@joseph7105 That would be more work than kicking in the door or breaking a window. Heck, without sheathing you could just poke your way in.
I made it 2 minutes, key term is rough opening
When the doors arrive they are standing on a pallet, usually 5 doors or so. That piece of plastic screwed to the frame once ran across 5 doors holding them on the pallet. it's faster to cut the plastic than remove the screws. You can design a $4000 door and it may show up with and aluminum threshold and pallet grade lumber under the aluminum. I always wanted my R/O 2 1/2" bigger than frame size and always recommended NOT having the door stained or finished in any manner. With the added expense your painter can do it and I won't have to order another door that will take 2 months to arrive and be damaged again in shipping. Sad but true. I designed custom doors , windows and moldings/millwork for 16 years. Trust me, customers are as reasonable as employees, even the "pros." I refused to work with many customers and never got in trouble DIYers and even many pros do not know what goes into designing doors and windows and the framing aspect. I only worked with 2 or 3 people my entire time because so many people couldn't wrap their heads around designing. My favorite was when a customer would come in to get a window. "I need a window." "What size?" "standard." Sometimes to be make a point I would flop the Andersen catalog 6" thick and tell them to show me their standard window out of 100,000 standard windows...😁 I'm curious why no sealer under the threshold? 3 lines, not a big s?
Wow your window framing is horrible no jack studs and why 2 king studs on the door?
Is this a re post? Sure ive seen it before. Also, its check for plumb, not level
Using a utility knife is great until you slip and slice you finger off.
Every time you leave your level standing upright it makes me cringe.
Dropping a level to me is like dropping a baby.
Ya know.. Nail polish remover is just scented acetone.
Another option for tightening screws is jam a (wooden) toothpick into the hole.
Shouldn't the windows be taped from the bottom up "Water barrier"
Congrats Americans, you have discovered the Damp Proof Membrane 😂
talks just to talk, back in the day was made for speed? no now its all about speed, we just have more technology. Back in the day quality labor was everything. On top of that you clearly didn't leave a 2 inch oversized rough opening. first 15 minutes is playing around because it is to tight.
You guys built a hole that's just a hair larger than a door? Real framers make it 1" over :-)))
A properly installed door should stay wherever you open it to .... if it swings in on its own its installed improperly !!!!!! the wall is out of plumb which in your case is bad because YOU JUST BUILT IT!!!!!!
Relax bro. It's a shed
When he opened it, it stayed.
Cry harder.
Lol you didn't watch the video, he said if it's moving on it's open, it's better to have it go one way but the door came out fine
He forgot to level the universe 😲
If "level with the universe" means nothing to him, his door will most likely never stay wherever he opens it to.
This guy needs to find a new job or get a bigger hammer....LOL
Door is the worng side in why in the world would you istall it to have a recess out side to collect water and snow ... but I guess you want it to intentionally rot from inside out since that's like a 10$ interrior door anyway.
you have done wrong with the paint on the frame as were the door shuts should be the same colour as inside door paint
Worst teacher ever. Most arrogant person I’ve seen on RUclips. His pupil learned nothing. He could have easily sat down and watched a RUclips video and had the same lesson
You know...your kinda rude to your helper.
Your so confusing
Your improper English is more confusing
