    The reason some give thumbs down, is because you don't try to hide your so-called flaws or unforeseen little things that the job always throws at everyone. You have to be a little patient to see talent. This is a big fault of Hollywood's perfect this and that and advertisements, infomercials etc, where everything is just perfect, perfect. This is not real, you poor fools. That is exactly what I like about Shannon. A really better carpenter is better, if true, by a good nature and positive attitude a good parent, a good neighbour, a patient teacher, etc. Shannon is that guy! You go boy!

    Dera Shannon, I've done quite a few home improvement projects with your help and wanted to thank you for putting up these videos. They are very professional and well explained. In my area, it's near impossible to find any good handyman to hire, so the best option one has is to just go and do it oneself!

    I love watching you. Your approach is always to do the very best work possible. I just had new windows installed, the same ones, a second time and a few up to 5 times by a large contractor here. My windows and exterior are a complete mess now. Inexperienced crew, no supervision or direction. Ive withheld payment until I have opinions from 3 reputable window companies because Im absolutely sure they are the wrong windows for the job.

    These windows i'm using are called a renovator window but could be used in new construction as well. They have a brick mould around the outside instead of a nailing flange. This way I do not need to cover the nailing flange with some kind of trim. I think most retrofits have the nailing flange.

    as someone with little to no experience doing home improvements this video was a great help! After watching you do it, it seems like a fairly simple process and I feel like I can get through replacing the windows in my home with a little luck and a lot of hope hahaha. My only problem now is that reading through some of the comments that maybe there were a few things that could have been done a bit differently, but just from reading the changes they would have made, I can't tell exactly how it would be done.

    • @HouseImprovements
      @HouseImprovements  8 лет назад +3

      The only thing you could do different is add a membrane to the wood framing after the old paper is cut out of the way. I don't for this type of replacement but you can. If you watch some of my other window install videos I do use it.

    Thanks Shannon! Going for it this weekend, thankfully have trimmed out windows to replace so don't need to cut the siding, but i was wondering, in lieu of a cedar shingle, what sort of thickness on the shims for the lower side of the rough opening, how much of a gap do I want there?

    @Taylorraeconstruction 4 года назад

    Great job and you are obviously a good carpenter. Homeowners beware of using the circular saw like that if you are not skilled or don't have a lot of practice, easy to make mistakes or get hurt. One trick that can help is make a guide for each side of the window using 2x4's nailed into the siding. Don't go all the way to the corners but use something like a plunge cutter for those so you don't accidentally run your cuts long. Then when your done you can just putty the small nail holes in the siding that are leftover from removing your 2x4 guides.....could be cheaper than replacing damaged siding from overcutting or bad lines. Awesome video!

    this is almost identical to our procedure except where the owner preferred a near perfect seal around window. we would add a flex rubber "boot" all around window, 4" minimum flash play inside and out, with seal between layers so that all caulking sealant did not touch any wood. There's a good example seal failure and not being rubber cladded in youtube of a window where after 15 years the window was at the point of falling out completely because of rotten wood. It was a major rebuilding of the living room window including replacing all of the wood at least 12" from the original outline and stud framing both sides of the window.

  • @whelenvortexr4
    @whelenvortexr4 11 лет назад

    My dad's house has them and he said that he did pocket replacement, because they were cheaper. The only reason why I'm glad he made that choice is that we have the old trim, the resilient trim. I bet you can go to Menards of somewhere and buy the exact trim.
