    Thanks for making this video. I have three basement windows in the same condition as the one you replaced. I feel confident that I can do the job now!

    Good information for any window replacement. No basements here in West Coast Florida, but have fond memories of our basement in New Jersey where I grew up.

    Hmmm ... "Well equipped to handle anything that is unexpected" 😂 I think that means a credit card and enough gas in the truck and available time for six trips to the big box store to buy what you thought you needed. Nonetheless, I will continue to think that "this should be pretty easy" and do it myself. But each project brings with it new knowledge (and probably tools) that makes me more agile for the next undertaking!

    • @jeffp5991

      Btw... a plastic bag inside the window well while you're doing the work would help keep dirt and debris out of the caulk and foam.

    Ah, the old basement window gamble. "Was it poured-in-place or installed after the pour?" It's the bane of my measuring to quote jobs.

    Kudos to ANYONE who makes an informative video on how to do ANY DIY project. Yes no one is perfect and ALL DIY projects are usually finished off with plan D.1.2.A 😀 😂
    Thank you for this video. I have a 50 year old window that is steel frame, concrete poured around it during house construction. Pain to cut it out but it is in dire need of replacement. Too expensive to hire it out. So it will be a DIY, which most all of my home projects are, i was just researching some ideas. Again thank you 👏👍🙏

    Curious for framing Why people use PT wood framing vs Trek or thick sound PVC?

    • @ArtisanMade
      @ArtisanMade  4 месяца назад

      Trex is only for decking. I wouldn’t use pvc because it’s not a strong material. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s just my thoughts.

  • @American_Made
    @American_Made 10 месяцев назад

    I would have gotten the foam wrap that goes around the window, it fills that channel around the whole window.. it makes a big difference in drafts when it gets cold. you will feel leaks. .

  • @JorgeHernandez-ib1px
    @JorgeHernandez-ib1px 7 месяцев назад

    Great video! Question, if you are finishing the basement should you use pressure treated wood? Just concerned about the fumes from the wood' s chemicals. Can pine be used? I would have liked to have heard more on how you determined the framing dimensions.Thanks in advance for the feedback!

    • @ArtisanMade
      @ArtisanMade  7 месяцев назад +1

      If the wood has repeated contact with moisture you should use pressure treated. I’m no expert in the science but I think with such a small amount of lumber it’s not a concern.

  • @JohnAnderson-kt4mb
    @JohnAnderson-kt4mb 7 месяцев назад

    Good stuff, did you have to shrink your window due to adding 2x4 around the whole jamb? That’s 3” total lost on the extra framing.. looks good tho, I recommend using OSI quad max for the sealant, stuff is the bees knees for sealant

    Just wanted to mention that you should check the manufacturer's documentation on the Protecto Wrap tape you used. I'm pretty sure you can't leave it exposed like that. You will need to cover it. It usually only has a short UV exposure window.

    • @ArtisanMade
      @ArtisanMade  Год назад

      Usually it is covered with siding. There is no harm in leaving it exposed since the alternative is to cut it and expose the treated wood

    I have to replace some similar basement windows on a 1932 house, what size is the window you bought it error. I might be able to take off your hands. if the size is good just quote me a price and we figure it out.

    • @thegurw1994
      @thegurw1994 18 дней назад

      Talk to a sealant supplier in your local area. Don't shop at the DIY stores like the orange apron for stuff that's critical like preventing water penetration, they don't really know unless they're a former tradesperson in a relevant trade.
      I use Tremco's Dymonic FC down to about -35°C (it's rated down to -40), and I'll seal the exterior with that (using a foam backer rod as a backing) before using sprayfoam to improve the curing temperature for the sprayfoam. The only thing is that the cure time for everything typically goes way up once you're below freezing.

    Any suggestions for a decent frame but a window that's a little big for it? I had been trying to chip away at it with a reciprocal and use a grinder. It is all so awkward. I wouldn't have much room for foam.

    • @xxxxxbriansanchezyyy
      @xxxxxbriansanchezyyy 19 дней назад

      I've used an oscillating tool to shave off the top layer of vinyl and if your sides are too tight to add foam try adding the foam along the rough opening sides top and bottom then put your window in let it sit till dry then get rid of the dry excess foam by hand. It's amazing this guy has this many followers and not knowing how to do the job right.

    • @thegurw1994
      @thegurw1994 18 дней назад

      Concrete cutting diamond disc for your angle grinder to remove more than 1/4 inch of concrete. Concrete grinding cup for the angle grinder to smooth it out.
      Cut as deep into the wall as you can at the new width, all the way around the perimeter of the rough opening, both inside and out, with the cutting disc, then cut slots to your needed depth for the remaining thickness of the wall and either hammer and cold chisel to get them out or a chisel attachment for the reciprocating tool. Grind it smooth with the cup.
      If it's less than 1/4" of material you need to remove, you might be able to get away with just the grinding cup.

    • @ArtisanMade

      Not buying a dedicated foam gun for one time use. Didn’t know that foam quality is an issue for a simple window application.

      That is part of the foundation and would require special tools for cutting. Not to mention the crazy amount of dust.

      If you are trying to make yourself sound important and knowledgeable this is not how you do it. Sharing a comment like this does nothing to help me or the RUclips community improve their skills. Instead of posting a rude and arrogant comment with no substance, maybe you could tell us what could be done differently to make this a better installation.

      @@ArtisanMade Start with allowing for the sill flashing in the opening ,not measuring the opening tight and then adding the flashing. These things just frustrate me because we fix them all day long here in Florida due to incompetant installers.
      I apologize,I know you're trying and it is to be applauded . I will try to post our next install for comparison.
