Did you notice Maverick trying to mirror Doug's hand gesture? That was such a priceless moment! 🥰
Ok Doug....saying that “Ashley is noise sensitive and if this helps her...” was the most loving, caring and romantic thing...you’re the best 🥰 and, oh yeah, the window installation was excellent, as always.
Did you all see Mavrick telling us to subscribe ? Lol so cute !
You and Ashley are genius! You're great problem solvers... In the event of an apocalypse I want to be on your side! 😂😜
haha, thanks
Doug, your TRUE FOLLOWERS don’t really care what the content of your videos is. They enjoy watching you and Ashley tackle problems and solving them in addition to the rest of your projects that don’t give you a problem. I saw Maverick on his job pointing to the “ Subscribe” sign! Teaching him early is the best way. See you next video.💕
Doug, we are always blown away by your incredible BIG BRAIN that solves problems so easily. Great job, Ashley and the kids will stay much warmer this winter.
Maverick pointing to the “subscribe” sign was so adorable.
I hope you manage to sleep better with the new windows fitted, Ashley. It takes me ages to get to sleep and I wake up to the slightest sound. Although lately, a small drop of Lavender oil on some tissue under my pillow case has helped me a little. Well done with solving the window issue. Hugs. Carole in UK.
I am always amazed at how nothing seems to phase you Doug. I don't know anyone else who who re-build new windows like you did. They would likely return them but not you. What a handy guy. I'm impressed. Great work.
Thanks
When you said you were putting the blinds inside the windows I thought that was brilliant.
Their back door is like that. In Europe they’re all over the place...in fact, they’re doing ‘blinds-in-the-window’ all over the place.
@@lainyfromrainypnw mine are and I love them. So much easier to keep clean.
Forsythia along the road will help with the noise and dust, they grow fast and spread, you can move them easily, they multiple like crazy, and they herald spring, first to bloom each year, some people trim them into a hedge but I love leaving them WILD!! The yellow flowers are beautiful they are also called Yellow Bells! This is my favorite!!! !!! I really think you guys would love them, they grow so fast you will have a great hedge in no time, one time purchase that keeps on giving!! Love from Shreveport Louisiana 💕
Oh we love Forsythias too in all their wild splendor! They are the first to bloom here in March after crocuses, daffodils and tulips.
Sometimes homes being over insulated can cause condensation not only on your windows but in the air. My window manufacturer has recommended having a dehumidifier, even having house plants will absorb moisture. If you're cooking a turkey for Thanksgiven, it never fails, some windows will fog up even if you have the expensive Thermo windows. Best to have a window cracked open a little same as when you're taking a shower or bath. Way back when I also had to do some window surgery to make the job right.
You guys are so intelligent. I would have never thought to have taken those storm windows apart and switch the frame around. This was another great video. Thanks for sharing it with us. God loves you all. God bless you all.
Very cool. You have your blinds dust free on the inside without having to buy a specially built window.
The windows look great, especially the blinds in the middle. What I really enjoyed was watching Maverick smiling at himself in the camera & posing. Lol.
As I watched, I noticed some dust on the floor by the sofa. I thought, no way! Ashley is such a fantastic wife and housekeeper. Sure enough, the dust was on my kindle screen😂😂😂😂😂😂
We have our fair share of dust :D
It's such a good idea, especially for the winter. genius
Once again you are a Brave Soul..I'd be to scared to try that lol...
My grandson is Noise Sensitive to but, he's Autistic...hope Ashley is feeling better with the new windows...I'm always touched that you are so sensitive to her needs...
Getting new windows for my house was the best thing I ever did. I live near a busy road too, and so I opted for the extra sound dampening properties in my window and it is incredible how much of a difference it makes. I'm always shocked when I open the windows how much noise comes in. The original windows were builder-grade 80s aluminum windows, and they were never good at keeping air or noise out. The new windows have made a huge difference in the way my house feels. My advice to anyone buying new windows for their house is to not skimp, but also to look for deals on good quality products. It's a good investment for resale also, I believe.
I agree! We went for top dollar Marvin windows and they are great. For some reason our builder tried and tried for us to buy Anderson windows, but the framers were pretty impressed with the difference in quality when they were installing them.
your nice insulated, air tight home could maybe use a ventilation system to prevent condensation
I was impressed that you considered the comments about the need to have the two windows opening the same direction for egress. I can see you put a lot of thought in to everything you do and do not like to be second-guessed by viewers, yet you evaluated these comments and found a solution. Kudos.
Thanks I never heard of this before...awesome.
I have never heard of interior storm windows. How neat is that? Extra protection from the elements, less noise for Ashley and on top of that I think they look great. Nice job! I don't think there is anything you can't figure out Doug. You are such a caring husband to Ashleys sensitivities. And a great Dad to those cuties. xoxo
Wow, that turned out fantastically. To have all the benefit of storm windows without sacrificing safety AND the benefit of dust-free blinds. It would be a dream for me. I've always admired your taste but I especially like this simple, sleek living room. Another job well done.
The new Windows look great!!! Nice and sleek just like the rest of you home. So glad you had the ingenuity to get them reversed.!
I was wondering what you might do about these storm windows. I knew you would figure out something to make them work. And you did. Very nice.
Very clean looking and i like the blinds in the middle
Great attitudes
So sweet....Maverick pointing to the subscribe button!🤣 Doug and Ashley would love an update later just to let us know how the storm windows really are. Love all the information Doug! Thank you!🤗
We'll try to do updates :)
You guys are so awsome! Brilliant change up, and the blinds, I just love it. For noise reduction heavy tapestry drapes work wonders as a top layer, also absorbs indoor noise as well.
Blinds between~Nice!!!
Excited to share this knowledge with my parents for their home. Thanks Ash and Doug!
Great idea! I'm so glad it worked out for you guys!🎉
Kudos to you for not being intimated to modify them to suit your needs.
I'm happy you were able to work it out and fix what wasn't right about the windows, thank you for showing how it was done.
Wow that's great! It would also be an excellent option for people with pets that like to look out the window because the blinds like that always get torn up!!
I had no doubt you could make it work! Maverick is so precious! Ashley is a great wife!
The best feature of having the Storm Windows on the inside, is having the Blinds protected from dust. That is the biggest problem with Blinds. DUST! Great job. Your Loyal Fan & Subscriber; Art in Calif.
Hi Art. Thanks for watching :)
You two are so intelligent and very brave, I would have been too afraid to even think about switching those windows around! I also like the idea of having the storm windows on the inside!
You constantly amaze me!You have a brilliant mind to figure out so many different ways to fix so much.
Unconventional, but I really like it. You guys amaze me! ☺
As always I love how you break everything down into simpler components and share such helpful tips! Great job!
I like the fact that you mounted your blinds in between!! Good thinking, Great job!!👍👍
you guys always start doing something and I'm like "that's a terrible idea, why would you do that!?" and then you do it and I'm just... like... Wow, that turned out really awesome lol. The windows look amazing and the blinds between the two look like they were built that way. I'm really impressed. Great job!
Is there anything you and Ashley can't do??? You guys are amazing.
my parents use to have storm glass window pieces that they would put in during the winter, made such a difference but they could not open them. they were easy to put up and take down.
So glad you switched the storm window to slide same way window did! I feel better! I knew you could figure out a fix! You two are so smart!
I really like how you kept the blinds between the windows ... You can buy windows with built in blinds , they are very expensive. Also you are rite you have lengthen the life of those blinds also because they will stay clean ... awesome idea love your channel...
wow that was scarey to take the window apart... BUT YOU DID IT!! Voila!!! great job!
Well done you guy's, Maverick is super cute, loved how he sat on you're knee Ashley with his legs crossed and his hand under his chin lol
As always, Doug at his innovative and problem solving best. They look great! I have double glazing and these don't stop that much noise from the busy road outside. They have a top vent that doesn't close properly. I reckon the local council got the cheapest frames possible as a job lot!! Still, at least I do have a roof over my head and a warm bed to sleep in!
Genius!!! Blinds between the glass, brilliant!!!
Learned two words today, gunk and mucky 👍🏻😂 Nice job again!
Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Good job Doug problem solved, I loved how Maverick was copying your finger movement's he is so cute,you are afamily of great values, xxx
The extra benefit of keeping the blinds clean is great. I don't enjoy spring blind cleaning. The Can Do couple scores again.
I cant believe how clever you are sometimes. windows look great!
We had inside storm windows when we lived in AL. I think they were called Magnatite or tight. Made in LA I think. You could order them for either sliding windows or double hung. They had a small frame inside about an inch or two from existing window. The magnetic strips around the edges clung to the frame which was a magnetic metal. They were plexiglass and had magnetic strips all around on the edges of the windows. When you wanted the window open, you stacked the half that needed to be opened on to the stationary side. They made the house much quieter, and no drafts. In AL I'm sure they saved us a lot on cooling.
As always I am so impressed by your fearlessness. No way I would have to taken those windows apart. They turned out great. Thanks for sharing.
You amaze me with your abilities. The windows look great. When we remodeled several
Years ago we put in a new slider and kitchen window. They are double paned and the blinds are between the panes. I love them. Really keep the blinds clean and the panes are easy to open to clean. I really like your rug in front of the sofa. Maverick was adorable at the end, when he was pointing at subscribe I had to laugh. I so enjoy your vlogs thanks for helping keep me sane.❤️
Another amazing idea!
Love the bird calls during the music
Great to see you this Monday morning...
You two are sooo brave! But it all worked out...I am so proud of the courage you show.
I just noticed y’all have topped 100K subscribers! Congratulations!!🎉🎈🍾🎊
Thanks :)
I'm impressed. You are so good at figuring things out and improvising. Good job.
I used to work for a glass company in the office. Like you said extra payens deafen noise. Here in Canada people put in triple Payne glass windows in areas where traffic is noisy or trains are close by. You did a great job to flip this glass. After all someone had to assemble them the first time using the same parts. Nice work. You will be very warm but I hope not to air tight as that is not healthy either. Your wood stove needs oxygen taken from the house to burn, so you must replace that oxygen to stay healthy.
Yep, fresh air is definitely important, especially living in the cold north and being inside for months on end. Our woodstove has an exterior air intake which helps a lot.
Thanks Doug that is great to hear!
Wow! Excellent job on the windows Doug and Ashley! You know, darling Maverick just keeps stealing the show 😂. God Bless y’all!☝🏻🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thanks! 😊🇺🇸
What a game changer, thanks so much for this video, I really didn't know you could do this, this is awesome. I love that now you are doubly protected from all of the elements. Thanks so much Doug and Ashley, looking forward to the next video. Sending love and hugs, bye for now.
Hi fam!
I saw interior storm windows before!
It was in a 1806StoneHouse video. 😜
Where I live, a lot of work has to be done by certified people, otherwise it's illegal.
But I know that it's different in USA.
And on top you are DIYfferent and you nearly always take a DIYfferent route than any manual tells you.
But it turns out good and fits your needs.
The windows look great and I hope, Ashley can sleep now as a baby!
An unsatisfying sleep situation is horrible, you get grumpy through the day and you can never catch up sleep at night.
I installed several interior storm windows. None like those. I like them. Very clean look. And you get improved efficiency without have to get any permit or disturbing the exterior of the house. Awesome job with " field reversing" the windows.
Liked seeing Ashley with camera in hand for close-ups. Maverick is the cutest! Your house looks so clean and orderly and bright..no dust - very awesome! 💓
I love what they have done
with their home, they are so fun to watch and wealth of ideas and talent in what they do. Amazing I always say
Doug, This is brilliant, I love it! I have never lived in cold climate, born here in San Diego. I thought interior storm windows seemed like a great idea for all the reasons you mentioned!! They really look so good!! I hope you make a separate "How to" video hack of reversing the windows & put it up on the internet. I would think you would get quite a few views & it could help a lot of people, too. Just a thought. Take care.
In the UK we called it secondary glazing, great for heat loss and noise, all that was before everyone went into double glazed units, I think in Sweden they fit this on top so in effect you have triple glazing. Beware, you still have to get rid of the moisture.
We are working on the moisture issues as well. Thanks :)
I enjoy the fact you take the time, to explain your reasons, decisions, and the installation to your viewers! Thankyou 👌🌻
They look great! Hope you've been able to sleep well Ashley🙏🥰🧡
I love the look of the blinds in the middle of the whole set up - it makes them look so modern and expensive.
And they won't get nearly as dirty! That I really like.
I live in an old house with old windows. I am going to try bubble wrap for this winter, lol.
I've never heard of windows like that. I hope they help with the noise. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤
Hi guys! That's what I need! Just not in my budget. You can do anything you are so smart.Everything you do to your home just adds more to the selling price if you ever wanted to sell. I myself would never leave there.. A beautiful home beautiful property.. Love ya!stay safe. Your Granny...OHIO
You all are so smart, nothing ever stumps you. Awesome job.
thanks
I like the blind on the inside.
I keep meaning to tell you guys about a site I found called “Cheap Old Houses.com”. There are some really nice houses on there with great prices. I mean there are houses with that beautiful old wood that you don’t see in modern places any more. Houses with character. Most are move in ready. Some need fixing up. You can type a city after you type the .com for a specific area. I’m only telling you in case you ever think of leaving Michigan. (Btw, that is my home state. Born and raised in Detroit. I’d never move back tho. Lol)
Nice! Well Done!
So smart! Love the fix and the blinds inside the two windows!! Perfect!
Those are nice, not so hard to install. Love how you make it work. Stay warm is the main point. Have a good night
Great idea! I love that your DIYefferent
Oh my goodness Doug you are a Genius, I love watching you figure things out💜
You may want to think about venting inside your home. You have re- insulated your whole home it may be to airtight moisture from inside your house maybe a problem??
We'll see how it does this year. Last winter we were still under renovation and didn't have all our systems properly in place. I feel like it will be okay :)
Maverick is such a little Ham..
I had these storm windows installed in my older house and yes, they do work great for keeping condensation out between the window and the storm window. Great choice! You are going to love them!
Hope you remembered to lock the first window back. Also it’s cool the blinds are in between, as is less to dust.
Yep, it's locked now :)
I love the way you figured out how to remake those windows I'd still be scratching my head & pondering if i should try and send them back !! & congratulations on 100k subscribers well done
You two have done a fantastic job on you home. Inspiring
what a good idea i love it
Congrats Doug on figuring out a crafty solution for the windows. They look good, especially with the blinds sandwiched inbetween. Apparently windows and doors are configured by someone looking from outside into the house...who knew? Seems a tad daft to me. Also for anyone in Canada, Lowes seem to be the main retailer for them.
I hope you enjoy a more quiet environment, and a warmer one too! Nice work!
Brilliant!!!
You two are the best!!!
Maverick is so handsome.
Remember the tour of the completed house, Please!
Can’t wait for the next video.
Stay safe🏡
I would suggest Lunos air exchange system. Tiny houses install them all the time for condensation
We looked into those. I actually wanted a whole house heat recovery ventilator when we were renovating but we decided not to spend the money. It probably would have been well worth it though. We are currently experimenting with a similar unit in our bedroom, but we haven't shown it yet :)
Brilliant!!!a you pair are soooo clever!!!! Xx
I had never heard of interior storm windows before you brought them to my attention. I especially like how you put the blinds between the windows. That should definitely cut down on the dust and dirt that blinds tend to attract. It looks great!
You are amazing 🙃. I really like the windows and putting the shades in the middle is Genius.
Genius!! Great Team!!
