My foreman stripped the screens from all the windows and made me take them home until he wanted them back when the job was done. What a great idea. No cleaning screens. No repairing ripped screens, no looking for the lost screen or replacing the bent screen frame. You think that was a hassle? Wait until you have to fuss with screen cleaning and repair/replace when the job is completely over but for that. 👍
That way, too, when we sheetrock guys get in there, we can get some air flowing better... faster drying time...and we don't sweat, so bad... great work guys
Yep. Don't even take them out of the box if they came in one. Sharpie to write on top of each screen where it goes then into a bag. I was a window guy and I carried 6mil 50 gallon trash bags to seal up the screens. Carried roll for mega screens but few screens are larger than a bag on top and another on bottom. Store them in the hvac room normally. Most clients don't want all the screens in place anyway. Not unusual for a house with 60 screens to have 40 in plastic stored where nothing could damage them. Funny interaction when I'd get a new client and they wouldn't know they had screens for every window. I'd walk them to storage and show where I put them for the previous owner. Got everyone of those bids closed.😅😅
Never change your humor Paul. It's so endearing and honest. You have to be the best Dad on youtube. I expect the next video to start out with you holding that chicken with your "Welcome back gang!" intro.
Earlier this year, 2023, I looked and looked for a video on flangeless window install & sealing. "NOTHING"! There's a couple videos on install but they do not go into sealing it up. Yes, I believe you are the first and a fantabulous instruction on how to as well as showing what may be a better practice thru your experience. No harm no foul all education for this guy. Thanx a bunch. 👍👍
The "Good job past Paul" @12:40 is always the best feeling in the world. Often we make grief for our future selves because we don't want to deal with something at the moment, but sometimes (rarer for some of us than others 😅), we actually plan ahead and it works out. Well done mate
Anyone would think that water can't get around those screws but if you have wind blowing against where there's nails or screws exposed while it rains, it actually siphons the water in. It almost works like a venturi.
yeah i wondered if those nails would allow water to go in, but they have like 1000 nails on the outside, i don't know if the company that made the material intended for all of those to be covered?
I am a Electrician think about in stalling cat 6e for wired Internet for both structures outside and garage, you can use cat 6e for camera and install 14 g shielded speaker wire for whole house system an or whole property sound system I know it kills the great budget but easy to do now, and no outside wires later come on guys you want to rock out and have the ability to watch the property when away. You will at least have the wire all in. Just some friendly advice. Don't forget about sub-whoofers ROCK-ON doing a great job guys. 20 years ago tricked out Mike Luv house at Tahoe, you can even think about whole house control from a tablet phone PC lap-tob.I am the one that told you about the back of garage back garage door. Again really great job. Glad you are explaining for first timers out there. Start up a how the pro do-it-show go this old house level with in-depth how to get spouncers Mat a good one to start with. Good Job Guys good job
The benefits of having a skillet that allows you to DIY... you get to do things to your quality standards. I'm absolutely locked in and already looking forward to the next episode guys!!
I would guess, based on your window details, that you are not planning to incorporate any kind of rain screen? That would be surpirising, especially since you had the "master of rainscreens" (Matt Risinger) on your previous episode. I have been enjoying your videos for the past few years and have learned a lot...thanks!!
I just re-watched because I couldn't remember "backer rod". I was trying to get the thought to come to my head but it wasn't so I re-watched to find the term. Thank you again!
Been watching you guys for years. Hits home because my dad and I are the ones called when something needs to be done. Loving this build!! But I’m excited to hopefully see an in depth video on the low voltage install.
U should put a door pan underneath all exterior doors. Especially if they don't have a storm door to protect them from the hurricane or severe rains. Don't know if you're having an overhang? That can help some, but not the sideway rains. Installing a bead or 2 of material underneath is not enough to protect for the long haul. Just a friendly tip from someone who has made that mistake before.
It’s a Jeld-wen patio slider. It has a sill pan. I watched the contractor installed it according to the mfg instruction to the t, no short cuts or using cheap materials. It leaks like crazy when the wind is 90 degree carrying the rain. Otherwise it doesn’t leak, even with heavy rain
Paul - that makes me feel better when I get to see a pro have the same sort of brain hiccups I do! Thanks so much for letting us see that even the gurus of the craft have “off” moments!
My big-ass recording studio/garage window installed in the mid-1980s was a Pella muntins-in-the-middle too. Never had a problem with it. Loved it to death. Admittedly, not much rain in SoCal, but the thing that really amazed me was the soundproofing provided by two differing thicknesses of glass. Pella knew what they were doing. So do you. Always a pleasure watching your progress.
Great work guys and I am loving this entire build. I am here each video and I won't leave until the job is done. Who am I kidding? I won't leave ever. Great work. I too applaud Past Paul.
That is a master class on making sure you think of any possible issue and how to fix it. Love the idea of leaving the bottom open for now, for some real life testing. Two thumbs way up.
I love the detail work you talk about in your videos! Especially the bit at 24:30 about how to install shims. I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I install something that needs shimming!
From my experience as a dealer (9 years experience): in a new construction project, I'd have ordered a unit with a removable nailing flange. Andersen's 400-Series and A-Series would be suitable. Quite a few other options too (but I'm an Andersen dealer). I really liked your sill shim method, I've seen that a few times with my better guys (though a lot of the GC's spend good money on lasers but don't seem to remember that they need to shim the corners of the frame). Detail 1-- Frame the window about 1/4" tall. 2-- Remove the nailing fins on the sides and head. You can leave the fin on the sill. 3-- Install a temporary shelf for a work surface: a 2x6 or even just some support blocks would be my preference generally as that'd carry the weight of the window. Ensure it's about 2" below the RO's sill plate. You'd need a minimum of about 4-3/4" for a full depth window, but adjust that down if you're doing Andersen 400-Series PermaShield casements, awnings, and picture windows. 4-- Install a an appropriate number of head blocks at the center point to control the top. Take a few 2x4 scraps. 2 short (3"), 1 long (15"). Pop a single screw in to keep 'em together. I'd drill a couple pilot holes and screws. 5-- Apply the nailing flanges to the sides first. When you're done with that, move the head blocks to near the top of each side (still about 2" away). Apply the head nailing flange. 6-- And you're done. Continue to install the windows within the cage. Apply your sealant, lift the window into the opening, fasten the top corner, plumb level square and true and put more screws into the nail flange too. Remove the shelf and the blocks and you're basically ready to tape. As always, tape your 3-sides. Thanks for the video. For your situation, the masonry-like install works fine. But I'd rather trust normal nail flanges instead. We've got a ~60 year track record for nailing flanges. Old-school masonry installs have the sealant as a maintenance item. With Zip should be a lot better assuming the tape bond lasts longer than the windows.
Mr. Senior and Junior Studs, (haha) thank you so much for your valuable and informative videos. I am building a shower based off of your tutorial demonstrations. Awesome is not a strong enough word to express the wealth of knowledge you bring. I have been an instructor for over 20 years. Your instructional skill blows me away. Note: a teacher teaches, an instructor shows. I am handy, but you sharing your success and failures help me learn more. As it is said, we learn more from our failures. I have never made a comment on youtube and I felt I owe it to y'all (or gang), for all you have given me. THANK YOU so much!!!
Great vid! This is pretty much how masonry windows(should) be installed. Order 'replacement' windows slightly smaller than the masonry frame, shim/screw/backer rod/seal/insulate, etc. Love it
Hey StudPack! Super cool to see the windows & doors going in! The garage is really starting to look more like a place now. :) Also, it was exciting to see the newest member of the channel/ trainee (Summer?) helping out and pitching in! Many hands make light work!
Love it. Coming together fellas & it’s looking awesome. The project has been so fun to watch. I always get excited when I see a new Stud Pack video is up.
You guys are my favorite. I never thought I would look forward to weekly content from RUclips the way I waited for a weekly TV series, but here we are. Great channel guys.
I love learning diy tips and tricks but my favorite part of your channel is the father son(s) relationship. I wish I had a relationship like this with my dad. I have started bringing my son who is 7 along with me to help me do things. Keep up the great work guys!
I just love y'all videos. Y'all go into so much detail and the proper way about doing things. They're just awesome can't wait for the next one to come out, speed them up
My father and i used to do all home improvement projects together. Hes been gone since 15 and miss him everytime i pick up a hammer or paint job. Lovely to watch you all wodk so well together
Wonderful work, you created a flange plus+. I've been in roofing for over 20 years, you must think like water, it is self leveling, will wick, it is devious. Great work!
I saw a show once a long time ago that said over in Dubai many of the windows on the skyscrapers are installed using double sided tape 3M VHB™ is crazy strong we use it in commercial Aviation too. you guys never fail to make me smile watching your videos. and seeing y'all working hard inspires me. Thank you all and God Bless
I was so excited to see the thumbnail on this one! I bet you guys are glad the windows are installed now. Great job guys! Is it strange that I am 100% invested in this build? Can’t wait for the next StudPack video. ❤❤❤👍👍🥇
I have followed you guys from day one. I knew this was gonna be a great show. I love how you guys are now joining with other channels. This is the future of handy man and construction video’s.
Having been a commercial waterproofed in the past, (now a remodeler) we used a 2 part urethane sealant. Gives more time to tool the material before it starts to set up. I love level, and big stretch, but have noticed it’s starts to skin over pretty quick. Also, we would introduce our own weeps into the bead at the bottom when a pan was under it. Love the video!! You guys are beast mode!!
I watch you because I want to learn how to use a tool other than an editor. I didn't realise until just now that I'm also watching because I enjoy your editing. In the end it's all about the story. This is the best story you've told thus far. Interestingly enough the editor I use is software related. Agile extends. Good work all around. You're starting to show a mastery of your tools. I've enjoyed the journey. I appreciate your scope.
Hey Jordan you should consider Ken from Kens Karpentry channel to come do a cross over. His business and RUclips is all about garages and he’s approaching 200K subs. He’s one of those few people like your Dad where you can see how genuine he is in the videos and there’s no act or persona - just a genuine good person. He’s crazy knowledgeable and you can tell he’s really humble and is the most honest contractor ever. I’m sure his many years of experience could be handy for you guys and might make a good video for maybe installing the garage doors? I know he’d have some thoughts about the hinge point on your wall from changing the truss design for vaulted ceiling. His videos aren’t showy but watch a few of them with your Dad. He does use his drone quite well in his vids, maybe something you can add. When I need to check out in life or just chill I go and watch him build a garage. Anyways I really think you should try to fly him down. He’s gotta be getting close to winter shutdown in Vermont. Anyways as a fan of both channels, it would be sick or have the garage building legend on your garage build. I’m sure you can track him down his number is right on the side of his trailer in all his videos 😅.
Nice work on sealing the exteriors of those mega windows. I've found an endless supply of little disposable squeegees to use for smoothing caulk, glue, and, sealants. The little laminate samples from the big box stores! They are free and there for the taking!
I wonder if some diatomaceous earth would help dry stuff up. It also kills roaches, ants, and pretty much anything with a carapace. Love that the measuring tape has "Dad" written on it. Also love that you got your daughter involved in helping too. The windows really do look nice from the outside. I wonder how much different it would be replacing windows in old construction. I wonder if I can still get backer rod to fit. I need to replace some old steel ones with double pane windows. Going to have to peel back the vinyl siding and do some proper flashing. I enjoyed the video with Jeff Thorman btw. Aww. Cute chicken at the end. I miss having chickens.
nice detail, around the windows stud pack! ive always been a fan of spray foam cause it creates a water stop aswell. Also I work commercial and have done some towers. They use backer-rod and sealants like sikaflex or whatever was specified for the project/approved by engineer
DuPont makes a flashing tape called Straight Flash VF that is made for non-flanged windows. You essentially use it to create a flange made out of flashing tape. It would have been perfect for your flangeless windows.
Great job Stud Pack! On Pella Impervia windows the mulled units do not come with the nail fin part of the frame due to how they are manufactured as individual units and mulled together. However, you can order them with removable fins and those can be attached to the block frame to have a traditional nail fin install.
You can pull the fins and get them in this way, then a quick ladder climb to put them back on and nail from the outside for the air and watersealing boost.
Just as I settle down for the night, my favorite duo(/trio, love you Rad!) posts a 40 minute video?! Time to settle in, spray some Windex on my like button and enjoy!
Great job guys! Fun fact, the method used in the big windows is how most if not all windows in Europe is installed, with backing foam, sealant and usually some type of expanding foam around it on the inside to insulate. We don’t tape the bottom as it can act as a funnel to drive moisture into the seam, just leave it with chalking really. Usually an inch of caulk, and it will stretch and conform to and imperfections
Can always spray some window frost on that bottom half in case someone really wants to watch you drop a load.... if they look from the top half of the window, then they clearly worked hard enough to earn the view
If your decking is 3/4 or 1 “ thick right by the patio door how do you plan to avoid water sitting there? The decking will be higher than the patio door threshold even after you remove the zip sheathing from the deck? (25:04) And what about a metal pan under the door?Just curious thanks!!
Rate of slope? Possibly convex side upright decking with 3/16"drainage reveal... no stud pack wouldn't want the water dripping on the people below and besides they want to keep that as an overhang shelter covered patio or something I'm sure.. So... I'm guessing side or Edge [reverse shower inverse shower pan IDK what you call] drain. See I'm willing to admit I don't know everything but I am willing to learn
You could add a piece of metal 90 flashing under the bottom of the window extending down the wall. Basically a “window sill pan”. Then level and zip flash the window to the flashing and leave a gap along the bottom to allow water to weep down your rain screen in between the WRB/Zip sheathing and finish material. Think of the door sill pans that are available for the same purpose. This would solve the problem of water wicking back without the nailing flange.
Looking Great!!! I'm sure that I know someone who helped build those windows, since I live near Pella Ia. and know several people that work there. They are Great Windows. Love the progress, thanks :)
You guys have such effortless prosody it's like you were not only born for these trades and skilled craft of Home Improvement, but also maybe have some sort of Destiny in instruction. Not just the manner in which you don't talk down to us but also the manner in which your sentences psychologically rhythmically flow it seems to have a quality that assist the brain in retention as exaggerated prosody help smaller children learn. So it is shown. Normal prosody with slight emphasis can Aid in instruction and education of adults as well. I don't know if you noticed you guys do it but you do it well in a way that does not condescend and treats your student like an equal. And I'm no Psychology major but I'm sure that also May Aid in someone wanting to retain what someone else is saying. When they feel respected and looked out for
Paul's experience raising Southern gentlemen, no doubt. Speaking of not just your male offspring, Paul, we've heard of your son-in-law, was that young vision of a "Summer" your daughter, wife of the "Rad" stunting son-in-law? I love how she references Flubber great movie. Rest in peace Robin Williams. genes and skills for days. your family. Congrats. All that love and know-how might make some of the tougher days in Houston bearable. Nature has been fighting back more and more human development the more payment they put down the more they pave over, it takes over more of the land that once would have stoked up that moisture, and there's only so fast that those flat biosystems can drain out the water so for occasionally you might see some flooding so definitely prepare for some of that know your flood risk in your area. I think you guys already know about the risk website right
I know Siga Fentrim tape is popular for the european style (no flange) windows when recessed inside the opening. The window trim hides the little bit of tape which is stuck to the face of the frame. Finehomebuilding has a good article on it.
It may be a little overkill, but when I shim windows AND doors, I have to my ready, a caulk gun w clear silicone, so when I test fit the shims, I pull them out, put a sm glob of silicone on the jamb, slide the 1st shim in, put another sm glob of silicone on the 1st shim, then slide the second shim over the 1st shim. If they wanna split or separate or move around AT ALL, the silicone holds them in place... forever! One more thing just for grins is, I always check large doors & windows for sq. This is precautionary, so I know they ARE sq & that they will operate well over time. Brother Paul does a lot of the same things I do & one that I like is I like my little buzz Dreml tool. I use it everywhere. Excellent idea NOT sealing the insides of the windows so you can periodically check how they are sealed from the outside. Great point! After I sheet a roof, I ALWAYS wanna put the roof material on ASAP... I want as LITTLE moisture on wood as possible, ESPECIALLY plywood or OSB products. I actually would rather use a spray foam out of a can than the backer rod. Spray foam will get into every minute nook & cranny.
@Stud Pack Admittedly I wasn't very interested in watching a bunch of window videos back to back. Good call, there was a lot of information I obtained. I appreciate the invaluable leasons that occur each and every video. Pleasure to watch!
Just want to say that this is my favorite RUclips Channel & the only one with notifications. Been watching your videos since 2020. Keep doing great videos...
@stud pack 37:30 Agree Paul, & there’s notes & tips for many many many things that ya think would be flagged as important & be in pages 1-2+ if needed. It’s also why I read manuals 4x before installing if new product I’m using & lastly which ppl tend to forget….reach out to manufacturer or your rep & say here’s what going on & what I’m thinking, how can you help me make it happen and have success w/ zero issues later on. Most of the time extremely happy to help, & at times if able, might pop out on site to see how things going & give helping hand. Cheers ✌🏻
This show is awesome. I see thumbnail. I click. I like. I watch. Great works guys.

I love learning diy tips and tricks but my favorite part of your channel is the father son(s) relationship. I wish I had a relationship like this with my dad. I have started bringing my son who is 7 along with me to help me do things. Keep up the great work guys!
40 minutes yessss!!!
Exactly what I thought too
Ahhaha same !!!!
Why do they keep getting longer!? I like these guys but dang watching them is like a part time job
@@davidkitsio3839 ahahahah but you can always pause and play again!
I just love y'all videos. Y'all go into so much detail and the proper way about doing things. They're just awesome can't wait for the next one to come out, speed them up
My father and i used to do all home improvement projects together. Hes been gone since 15 and miss him everytime i pick up a hammer or paint job. Lovely to watch you all wodk so well together
Love getting the surprise notice. Watching immediately.
Wonderful work, you created a flange plus+. I've been in roofing for over 20 years, you must think like water, it is self leveling, will wick, it is devious. Great work!
Love your channel Paul, so much passion! Was great to meet Rad recently, a true ambassador of the channel!
I saw a show once a long time ago
that said over in Dubai many of the windows
on the skyscrapers are installed using
double sided tape
3M VHB™
is crazy strong we use it
in commercial Aviation too.
you guys never fail to make me smile watching your videos.
and seeing y'all working hard inspires me.
Thank you all and God Bless
I was so excited to see the thumbnail on this one! I bet you guys are glad the windows are installed now. Great job guys! Is it strange that I am 100% invested in this build? Can’t wait for the next StudPack video. ❤❤❤👍👍🥇
Excellent work, again. Thank you from California.
I have followed you guys from day one. I knew this was gonna be a great show. I love how you guys are now joining with other channels. This is the future of handy man and construction video’s.
Love the work, thanks for including the three stooges stuff on the 2x4 mis cuts lol
Having been a commercial waterproofed in the past, (now a remodeler) we used a 2 part urethane sealant. Gives more time to tool the material before it starts to set up. I love level, and big stretch, but have noticed it’s starts to skin over pretty quick. Also, we would introduce our own weeps into the bead at the bottom when a pan was under it. Love the video!! You guys are beast mode!!
How about a product recommendation on that 2 part. Was it bulk 5 gallon with a bulk gun?
I watch you because I want to learn how to use a tool other than an editor. I didn't realise until just now that I'm also watching because I enjoy your editing. In the end it's all about the story. This is the best story you've told thus far. Interestingly enough the editor I use is software related. Agile extends. Good work all around. You're starting to show a mastery of your tools. I've enjoyed the journey. I appreciate your scope.
Another quality episode!! Great job, fellas!
Hey Jordan you should consider Ken from Kens Karpentry channel to come do a cross over. His business and RUclips is all about garages and he’s approaching 200K subs. He’s one of those few people like your Dad where you can see how genuine he is in the videos and there’s no act or persona - just a genuine good person. He’s crazy knowledgeable and you can tell he’s really humble and is the most honest contractor ever.
I’m sure his many years of experience could be handy for you guys and might make a good video for maybe installing the garage doors? I know he’d have some thoughts about the hinge point on your wall from changing the truss design for vaulted ceiling.
His videos aren’t showy but watch a few of them with your Dad. He does use his drone quite well in his vids, maybe something you can add. When I need to check out in life or just chill I go and watch him build a garage.
Anyways I really think you should try to fly him down. He’s gotta be getting close to winter shutdown in Vermont. Anyways as a fan of both channels, it would be sick or have the garage building legend on your garage build. I’m sure you can track him down his number is right on the side of his trailer in all his videos 😅.
Nice work on sealing the exteriors of those mega windows. I've found an endless supply of little disposable squeegees to use for smoothing caulk, glue, and, sealants. The little laminate samples from the big box stores! They are free and there for the taking!
Fantastic choice on the 3 front windows. Just great. Good job
Looks amazing! 😊 Another job well done by Stud Pack! These videos are great. Thanks guys.
I wonder if some diatomaceous earth would help dry stuff up. It also kills roaches, ants, and pretty much anything with a carapace.
Love that the measuring tape has "Dad" written on it.
Also love that you got your daughter involved in helping too.
The windows really do look nice from the outside.
I wonder how much different it would be replacing windows in old construction. I wonder if I can still get backer rod to fit. I need to replace some old steel ones with double pane windows. Going to have to peel back the vinyl siding and do some proper flashing.
I enjoyed the video with Jeff Thorman btw.
Aww. Cute chicken at the end. I miss having chickens.
nice detail, around the windows stud pack! ive always been a fan of spray foam cause it creates a water stop aswell.
Also I work commercial and have done some towers. They use backer-rod and sealants like sikaflex or whatever was specified for the project/approved by engineer
Awesome videos guys!! It so cool watching this all come together and you all work together so well! VERY entertaining and informative!! 👍❤️👍
I really enjoy the content. It teaches and your father is funny. An amazing relationship. Thanks for sharing.
Great upload guys, enjoying the whole project and learning a ton. Stay dry see ya again soon.
DuPont makes a flashing tape called Straight Flash VF that is made for non-flanged windows. You essentially use it to create a flange made out of flashing tape. It would have been perfect for your flangeless windows.
also suresill makes some excellent options too.
Yes, but are they a sponsor? 😁
Great job guys. Love the windows-they look great! Plus .. more Summer
That's a lot of detail for weatherstripping and future insulation for a home in Texas. Wish my house near Chicago was so well sealed. Awesome!
Great job Stud Pack! On Pella Impervia windows the mulled units do not come with the nail fin part of the frame due to how they are manufactured as individual units and mulled together. However, you can order them with removable fins and those can be attached to the block frame to have a traditional nail fin install.
You can pull the fins and get them in this way, then a quick ladder climb to put them back on and nail from the outside for the air and watersealing boost.
I've been watching you guys from day one. Your quality of production have evolved into a great show. I look forward to every episode..
Just as I settle down for the night, my favorite duo(/trio, love you Rad!) posts a 40 minute video?! Time to settle in, spray some Windex on my like button and enjoy!
Love me some Rad!!!
Great job guys! Fun fact, the method used in the big windows is how most if not all windows in Europe is installed, with backing foam, sealant and usually some type of expanding foam around it on the inside to insulate. We don’t tape the bottom as it can act as a funnel to drive moisture into the seam, just leave it with chalking really. Usually an inch of caulk, and it will stretch and conform to and imperfections
Can always spray some window frost on that bottom half in case someone really wants to watch you drop a load.... if they look from the top half of the window, then they clearly worked hard enough to earn the view
So much great information as always. Thanks Stud Pack!!
Man this is coming along great!!! AND the “Running of the Chickens” segment was absolutely hilarious!!!
Awesome job guys… You should definitely be proud of yourselves.
Its looking great, wish I lived by to see the progress in person.
I love ya energy , garage coming along pretty Nice 👍🏼
I cant see those windows ever leaking gentlemen. Great video !!! 👍🇺🇲
Man I’m glad I’m not the only one!! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to walk back to the saw because I cut it at the wrong length.
I love that you leave the mistakes in the video. Makes you more human. Iike the rest of us!👍👍
I think I can! I love the mood in these videos!!
Beautiful design. Great job, Stud Pack!
I played the rocky song as Paul chased the chicken. It was even better than I imagined.
If your decking is 3/4 or 1 “ thick right by the patio door how do you plan to avoid water sitting there? The decking will be higher than the patio door threshold even after you remove the zip sheathing from the deck? (25:04) And what about a metal pan under the door?Just curious thanks!!
Rate of slope? Possibly convex side upright decking with 3/16"drainage reveal... no stud pack wouldn't want the water dripping on the people below and besides they want to keep that as an overhang shelter covered patio or something I'm sure.. So... I'm guessing side or Edge [reverse shower inverse shower pan IDK what you call] drain. See I'm willing to admit I don't know everything but I am willing to learn
Basically you know plumbed drainage that runs alongside edges taken away from house by gutters or other sort of underground counterpart drains
Great looking windows guys. Like the transom on the top. Looks killer. Great tips for installing windows. Waiting for what’s next on the house.
You could add a piece of metal 90 flashing under the bottom of the window extending down the wall. Basically a “window sill pan”. Then level and zip flash the window to the flashing and leave a gap along the bottom to allow water to weep down your rain screen in between the WRB/Zip sheathing and finish material. Think of the door sill pans that are available for the same purpose. This would solve the problem of water wicking back without the nailing flange.
Brilliant idea: along with some horseshoe spacers?.
Lastish upshot of Paul and the windows... Amazing cinematography. Good work guys.
Looking great guys!
Looking Great!!! I'm sure that I know someone who helped build those windows, since I live near Pella Ia. and know several people that work there. They are Great Windows.
Love the progress, thanks :)
You guys have such effortless prosody it's like you were not only born for these trades and skilled craft of Home Improvement, but also maybe have some sort of Destiny in instruction. Not just the manner in which you don't talk down to us but also the manner in which your sentences psychologically rhythmically flow it seems to have a quality that assist the brain in retention as exaggerated prosody help smaller children learn. So it is shown. Normal prosody with slight emphasis can Aid in instruction and education of adults as well. I don't know if you noticed you guys do it but you do it well in a way that does not condescend and treats your student like an equal. And I'm no Psychology major but I'm sure that also May Aid in someone wanting to retain what someone else is saying. When they feel respected and looked out for
Paul's experience raising Southern gentlemen, no doubt. Speaking of not just your male offspring, Paul, we've heard of your son-in-law, was that young vision of a "Summer" your daughter, wife of the "Rad" stunting son-in-law? I love how she references Flubber great movie. Rest in peace Robin Williams. genes and skills for days. your family. Congrats. All that love and know-how might make some of the tougher days in Houston bearable. Nature has been fighting back more and more human development the more payment they put down the more they pave over, it takes over more of the land that once would have stoked up that moisture, and there's only so fast that those flat biosystems can drain out the water so for occasionally you might see some flooding so definitely prepare for some of that know your flood risk in your area. I think you guys already know about the risk website right
StudPack! Love it!
You're a good narrator. Good tips throughout. Thank you for some quality content
Once again you’re KILLING IT!
The windows look amazing. Always spectacular work.
Big milestone guys! Love it!
Outstanding video, thanks for sharing!
Nice installation,.looks great
Those windows are gorgeous!! Great install guys!!
You guys make me want to build a house with my sons. They're only 1 and 5, so I have some time to plan things out and save up!
I know Siga Fentrim tape is popular for the european style (no flange) windows when recessed inside the opening. The window trim hides the little bit of tape which is stuck to the face of the frame. Finehomebuilding has a good article on it.
U guys are kicking ass as always great work
Looks great ready to see things speed up now dry in is almost complete
It may be a little overkill, but when I shim windows AND doors, I have to my ready, a caulk gun w clear silicone, so when I test fit the shims, I pull them out, put a sm glob of silicone on the jamb, slide the 1st shim in, put another sm glob of silicone on the 1st shim, then slide the second shim over the 1st shim. If they wanna split or separate or move around AT ALL, the silicone holds them in place... forever!
One more thing just for grins is, I always check large doors & windows for sq. This is precautionary, so I know they ARE sq & that they will operate well over time.
Brother Paul does a lot of the same things I do & one that I like is I like my little buzz Dreml tool. I use it everywhere.
Excellent idea NOT sealing the insides of the windows so you can periodically check how they are sealed from the outside. Great point!
After I sheet a roof, I ALWAYS wanna put the roof material on ASAP... I want as LITTLE moisture on wood as possible, ESPECIALLY plywood or OSB products.
I actually would rather use a spray foam out of a can than the backer rod. Spray foam will get into every minute nook & cranny.
Excellent style sir. Love the vids.
40 minutes!! Love it.
@Stud Pack Admittedly I wasn't very interested in watching a bunch of window videos back to back. Good call, there was a lot of information I obtained. I appreciate the invaluable leasons that occur each and every video. Pleasure to watch!
Always come to watch these after playing games with Jordan back in the day!
Just want to say that this is my favorite RUclips Channel & the only one with notifications. Been watching your videos since 2020. Keep doing great videos...
@stud pack 37:30
Agree Paul, & there’s notes & tips for many many many things that ya think would be flagged as important & be in pages 1-2+ if needed. It’s also why I read manuals 4x before installing if new product I’m using & lastly which ppl tend to forget….reach out to manufacturer or your rep & say here’s what going on & what I’m thinking, how can you help me make it happen and have success w/ zero issues later on. Most of the time extremely happy to help, & at times if able, might pop out on site to see how things going & give helping hand.
Cheers ✌🏻
Loving these 40 minute videos!!!
