    Man, they really hammer home that you need to pay someone to do this but do an amazing job showing me how i will do it myself. 😂

    Thousands of dollars to resod? I use an excavator to dig and my saws run off my excavator. Just lay plywood down to drive on, when I leave you never know I was there except for the window I put in. Beats hand digging.

    Why only a five-year warranty on the window well if you say it will last forever?

    I would like to see someone open that window during the winter when you have 2 feet of snow on the ground. Use a slider type window.

      Agreed that was a bad move! Plus casement windows are notorious for that crank going bad or gears stripping.

      All egress windows are required to have covers over them that hinge upwards. No rain or snow will get in there.

      If there is a fire i don't think anyone is going to care about just shattering that window if they cant open it.

    And no consideration for side load on foundation opening now that structual integrity is compromised. Fail.

    Why do companies leave the cutout concrete in bottom of holes before backfilling?

    • @customermail3591
      @customermail3591 3 года назад

      Less to backfill

    • @therobable1
      @therobable1 2 года назад

      Multiple reasons.
      Helps with drainage to an extent. Less to haul away, less material to fill.
      They suck to lift out!

    So is this some local pbs show? I don’t like those fiberglass window well liners.. with steps?? It lets the burglar just walk up the stairs easily with your 65” tv, and gives him time and convenience to return for your laptop and if he has a buddy they can two man carry your smaller gun safe out haha 😂.. why not just do a normal window well with an escape ladder? That’s a ton of work adding the drain and sump in there.. so glad I don’t have to worry about ground water issues.. flooding via poor draining window well is my only concern.. doubt the standard water company would travel from MN to UT to install a french drain in all my wells..

    I was told an egress window couldn't be within 10 feet from a gas meter.

    • @PDXcitable
      @PDXcitable 5 лет назад +2

      Yeah, my first thought when I saw that was I wonder if the next time the gas company sends someone to read the meter if they call it in and the homeowner gets a big bill for a meter relocation order. No gas utility I know of is going to sign off on a that.

      4500 give or take from a company. But thats for the window install
      The drain system. Not so sure. My guess another 4500
