I trust your videos so much that I don't even have to watch it, I already give you a thumbs up.
I'm glad I found your video, its the only one that answered all my questions since I am replacing a window larger in one dimension and shorter on the other. Another huge cudo to you, thanks for not editing out mistakes, I don't feel like an such an idiot, its good to see that its just the nature of the beast ! Thanks Again Shannon.
This was a great help as I'll be doing a complete bathroom reno with bigger windows in a month or so. Thanks for these guides as I would be lost without them.
Shannon you really are amazing. You always seem to create content relating to what I'm presently doing, or planning to do. Keep up the great work 👍
Omg youbare my hero! Ive been searching for a video like this forever...so thankful for this!
Your videos have been a huge help with updating my home. Ty
This isn't just similar to what I'm about to do to my garage, it's dead on - right down to the shiplap "sheathing," cement board on bottom and the drywall on top. I'm just removing the whole external wall, putting up zip sheathing, replacing any rotten studs, and installing new Windows. Thanks for the video. I actually love how you just own your mistakes and show how you deal with them. That gives me the confidence I need bc I'm sure to make plenty of my own. Thanks, and subscribed!
Hey shannon i really enjoy your videos. I am re sheathing and insulating my house and changing some windows and doors and your videos have helped me along the way!
Great job Shannon, your videos are always helpful.
Thanks for the video! Very informative and inspiring as I prepare to tackle my own framing project. Thanks again!
I really enjoy how you explain everything in detail I enjoy watching your videos by the why you have a great camera men 👍
Super Awesome video! I can change my own windows now.👍
This is a very informative video. You do a good job of explaining everything.
Very good video Shannon
Awesome video. Thank u good sir
This is so neat, it's scary. 😄😄😄Great video once again.
That nailer saves time.
great work as always, Shannon can that short window wall be built on the floor and than be put in place?
Wow, I've been thinking of doing exactly this, changing out one of those stupid large windows that are essentially in the shower for a higher longer one that does not get water on it all the time (so stupid). However, your videos shows how much work it would really be, having to rip open the entire exterior wall like that would be a massive job and be very expensive on top.
Thank you
Awesome!
Should you have a chance, please post a complete (from start to end) enlargement of a window video. Thank you
Hi Shannon, greetings from Nova Scotia! I’m replacing a couple of older vinyl slider windows with bigger ones. Older house with vinyl siding over rigid insulation over I assume tar paper. Haven’t started yet. After changing the framing and rough opening, can I incorporate tyvek with the tar paper as a barrier? I want to install window with nail fin after rigid is installed. If self adhesive membrane is installed on sill and around opening over rigid, what do I do with the tyvek around opening? Thanks
Great Videos, nice work! Hey where abouts in Canada do you live? I'm just curious if you're working with the similar climate as I am. I live near Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Thanks, Cheers
I built a shed with your how to build a shed video.
10ft by 20 feet with a frame roof.
Thanks for that video for that.
My next project is to cut a hole in back of my house to add a garge door. So I can drive into my back yard.
I only have 3 feet on each side of the house. So I can’t drive around.
This seems to be the same process as I wannna do. But I have to shore up the roof to make sure it doesn’t sag while I install the new header.
Any chance u will do a video on how to shore a ceiling or roof?
You will for sure have to shore things up until you have the beams/headers in place. We have no video at this time.
I have to thank you for not using the busy music during your sped up segments. It didn't bother me ( or I didn't realize it did) not hearing it is so much better.
Little puddy a little paint makes a carpenter what he ain't
Looking over the earlier posts, I am in total agreement. Great quality and content. Thankfully no background music. Shooting and prep for these videos take a lot of time and thought. Addressed the support consideration and wiring too. Have you ever called an engineer about support or have you just used experience as basis?
In this case its experience . Not really much load over this sized opening with this roof. The double top plate will support that long enough to do the job. As the opening gets wider or you get more load above it you then need to use some temp. support for the ceiling .
Not bad mate, but you could throw a block of 4x2 into that gap on the right hand side of the header and drive a wooden wedge to bring it over (suggestion) but great vids, and keep them coming. Cheers from Australia.
Great work. Was that housewrap and foam retroit? Any videos planned on that?
What is retroit?
Sorry, typo. I meant retrofit.

Hey there, great video!! Just wondering how you secured the hardy backer to the new framing or is that even important? Assuming that there is currently tile on the other side that you can't screw or nail through. Thanks!
In this case I did not fasten it to the studs at all because my plan was to gut the bathroom in the coming year to re do it. However if I was not then I would have made a few small circular dime sized cuts in the poly vapour barrier allong the new stud locations so that I could use a construction adhesive to bond the new framing to the back side.
Can you follow the same process from the inside without taking off all the siding?
Your still going to have to remove some siding.
I didn't see that you supported the ceiling. I've done interior and exterior walls and I don't think it's ever gone that smoothly. I hate it when I find out a non load bearing timber turns into a load bearing because of some past error or modification. I pulled out a built in flue frame once and found it wasn't built between the joists but to the flue framing (the joist was nailed to the flue framing and didn't go all the way to the load bearing wall). Paying attention to the recip saw binding saved me on that one. Sheetrock was harmed in the repair of that little mess.
In this case it is a supporting wall, but because the rafter weight is really all that is supported and the width of opening so short the double top plate was enough to temp. support what we needed while removing old framing.
¡Muy buen!
I think Canadians are like Amish cousins! They teach building very good!
If there was existing electrical you could likely cut in a strategic place and put a junction box and/or outlet when putting back together. Sell customer on they have another electrical outlet! Lol
Lmao glad im not the only one to drop sht on myself when i move my latter
It seemed like the studs were loose in the opening. Are they actually supporting any weight from above? You also don't want them to be so long that they push the top plate up because they have to be wedged in. It's those little details I'm never sure about. Should the new studs be an 1/8th or 1/4 more ? Also if the wood is green which most new wood is it will shrink over time so should that be takien into account?
Just snug is fine . You may find our forum helpful.www.house-improvements.com/forums/
Nice. 6 mil vs 3 mil poly. Woohoo. Lots of studs.
Curious why you didn't rough frame the new window on the ground and set the whole unit into the space.
I am getting ready to do this in my kitchen. It is a brick exterior. Can removal of the framing and the reframing be done from the inside so that I don't have to tear out so much brick?
Absolutely , I did this from the exterior because it was being redone anyways.
@@HouseImprovements Thanks
Ricky from Trailer Park Boys could have used this info..After watching Ricky try to hang a towel holder..very funny stuff..
Word of the day: plum. Used in a sentence: "Before nailing in the frame, one must make sure the studs are plum"
"Plumb" actually. LOL
@@HouseImprovements Yep, I caught that right away when you were about to nail the king stud on the right. You forgot to "plumb" it. But heh, I cannot tell you how many times I have had to redo my work because my mind was just somewhere else. Thank you so much for your videos. I respect your work and the time it takes to produce these videos.
Small block at 20:40 will let you pry the stud over.
Why couldn't you leave existing frame on bottom and just add to it?
The new window was wider than the old window, if I'm not mistaken?
@@HouseImprovements so couldn't I just cut boards to height on sides to make wider?
Watched the video an realized I had to call a professional.
Wow, they must have really wanted that slightly wider window. All that work would have been avoided if they had kept the width the same and just reduced the height. Good job though. 👍🏻
You have to frame to certain window sizes.... unless you want your own custom size 💰💰. Basically the custom window price would negate any difficult framing you see in the video.
excellent example of how to perform some safe demolition causing as little damage as possible. The popularity of those "home renovation shows" where the DIY'ers go mental using a 20lb sledge and flip flops.... Yes it is entertainment folks but should come with a disclaimer of "don't try this at home..."
You are right on the shows. What they dont show is a crew of 20 coming behind them after they sledged to clean up. Always cracks me up especially with tile. I take in chunks tile attached.
Oh don't eat the 🔨
I don't know Julian
doesn't look like a larger new window to me
It is longer then the old window.
haha ya i understood that just pulling your chain.
Wow people still use those gas Paslode nailers? Not sure if I am impressed at your dedication or saddened lol
If it works, then don't fix it.
I've got three Paslode nailers. One of the top two cordless nailer out there. Especially for a framing nailer.
