Thank you for that information being a first time home buyer I never install a window but I'm going to give it a try is my first time I learn everyday new things once again thank you Hopsin seeing more videos 🙏
FYI. You can most certainly return something thats been removed from its packaging. I do it all the time to Lowe’s and depot. I worked retail in college and so glad I did.
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!
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.
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 👏👍🙏
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!
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.
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.
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.
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. .
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.
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. 🙃
@@ArtisanMade my house had steel frame windows in the basement and they looked all rusted and nasty and they where leaking around the edge of the window so I replaced them with nicer windows and I did it the correct way

I live in upstate NY and need to do this exact same thing…and have been seriously procrastinating! Thanks for sharing!
You’re not alone. lol.

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.
This is very true. How many tools do I have that I only used once? Too many!

You did the right thing getting out of here.

so thankful for this video. I was DREADING replacing my basement windows....although I'll wait until spring😂
Amazing work 👍
Thank you!!!
Curious for framing Why people use PT wood framing vs Trek or thick sound PVC?
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.

Thank ya, this is what i needed!
Just brings to mind- what products can work in January temps?
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
Thanks for the tip. Window was close to the same size as the old one.
Nicely done!

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
Nice video, like the explanation
I’m in Minnesota. Doesn’t look like January snow to me😅
That’s probably your October snow 😂
Damn that was overkill of a DIY project for my skills lol. Good job man

No leaks here.

I have it in the attic. Are you from Long Island? If so, I will go up there a measure it.
yes, Nassau County@@ArtisanMade
Thank you teacher :) You should have listed the things twice :) ... in the beginning and the end.
What vacuum did you use ? Thanks
An old rigid shop vac.
Good job
"Now you've got something."
Why not just remove the concrete that is in your way???
That is part of the foundation and would require special tools for cutting. Not to mention the crazy amount of dust.
Removing the concrete seems like so much more work 😂

Did the water leak in before you replaced the window
It looks like it did at one time before I owned this house.
