    I'm glad that you showed the possible problems with weatherstripping a door and not just edit out the problems. Nice Video.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one messing up and still laughing about it. Thanks for the humor... I needed it after trying to install a door sweep and looking at the weather stripping too. LOL

    I like the fact that you didn't edit out the miscalculations & showed everyone that sometimes it doesn't always work out perfect the first time...or second in your case third timed a charm. lol nice job!

    Thank you for making this video. Just bought a condo and realized air was coming in around the door. Was totally clueless on what to do so I googled and found your video. Hallelujah!

    Thank you thank you thank you for showing the problems incurred!!! I appreciate your humility and allowing those moments to stay and the problem solving that you did to fix it. As you know, we all learn from our mistakes and I hope that others can learn from yours. Plus, now I know about the other weather stripping for those smaller and tighter spaces!! ❤️ Keep up the great work!!

    I love this video and your ability to laugh at yourself. 😅 I subscribed right after I watched the first one. Now, I have to get up and actually try to fix the weather stripping on my own door. I appreciate you showing your mistakes, hopefully I will have learned from them. 😊

    My man!! I am going through the same. There's a feeling of accomplishment that you get from fixing things in your own home.
    It's hard to describe, but it's unlike anything else!
    I'm going to make man sounds now like Tim the Tool man Taylor...

    Pro tip, for those that get it too thick and don't want to go out and buy a new roll, just use a utility knife while it's all rolled up and start cutting right in half until you can't anymore, then just go DEEPER. A utility knife will cut through 50% of a roll and that's probably less than what you'll use on one side of a door anyway.

    Hello, thank U for sharing the video with the mistakes, made it more learning actually on the details. May I ask, where did U purchase the door's weather stripping with all the choices of sizes? And where did U get the vinyl door sweep? My local home depot only has metal which makes cutting a lot more complicated. Though I do not know how long the vinyl may last for exterior door expose to the sun.

      Hey Kyennea, I just used a ruler. There may be more accurate ways out there to measure the gaps, but this worked for me. Thanks for watching!

      Bugs have an interesting way of motivating you to keep them out haha

    @tjones3406 Год назад

    This is one of those jobs that will have to be done again, in some years. By then you will have forgotten what did and didn't work. Suggestion: keep notes and file them where you keep your home repair/maintenance records.
