I plan on using octagonal vents. But your technique is quick. Neat. And I believe that bead of sealant is worthwhile. Very nicely produced. Thank you sir.
@@doityourselfdenniscom I've kept checking for a video on how to install a vent exhaust fan to the side of my double wide mobile home. Know of any videos?
Where did you get that vent? I need a back end flange since I have the stud behind the sheathing as depicted in your video. I cannot locate one in my area. Thanks.
I get mi e from a building supply company, not a lowes or home depot type. This is a store that sells siding and roofing materials. There should be one around. Look for a siding supply house for contractors. Most of them will sell to an individual, you don't have to be a contractor.
Thanks for getting back to me. I live in AZ and I cannot get things here easily. Would you tell me the name of the supplier you used. Maybe they would send it to me. Thanks much.
He picked 6 inches down from the peak but you be sure to factor in the size and shape of you vent and precisely how much distance there is between the top and bottom of your attic.
You would have to remove the siding. Install the new vent and then cut the siding to fit the vent. Don't use a saw to cut the siding, you should be able to cut the aluminum siding with a pair of tin snips without too much trouble. Removing the siding shouldn't be too hard to do as it is probably nailed on. The hardest part would be to get the first piece off. Then remove the nails from the next peice. I hope this helps.
It depends on several things, how big, what is the framing like and so on. It would be hard to say without looking at it. Probably not replacement windows, but maybe a regular window.
You would have to get a different type of vent and cut it to size. The type of vent I am using is specifically for vinyl siding. Most lumber yards should be able to tell what kind of vent to buy.
I bought a gable vent to close off a hole in the gable where cats were getting in at. I don’t know if it will fit because I can’t get up there to measure too well.
Can confirm. This is what happened to me. I'm trying to rig something together to make it work now cause there's no way I'm taking the siding off this 100 year old home. I'm thinking of making a wood rectangle frame and filling the void with spray foam. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The first thing you want to do is find out if your Life Insurance policy is up to date, and has the proper beneficiary listed before you scale the 45 foot ladder that you will need for this project.
He doesn't need no eye protection hes 👍good!!!! he knows what hes doing, maybe you might need some eye protection but, this man is just OK!!! STOP ACTING LIKE THE POLICE!!! 🚔

You are welcome.
Very straight forward, thanks mr.
Thanks, You are quite welcome.
This is great! However, how would you put an exhaust fan then the vet?
You would have to mount it from the inside.
@@doityourselfdenniscom I've kept checking for a video on how to install a vent exhaust fan to the side of my double wide mobile home. Know of any videos?
I'd maybe suggest mounting fans elsewhere. Or maybe 2 small fans to the laft and right of the center truss?
Great job and good instructions
Thank you.

@@steve-nr3gn The name of the company is ABC Supply in Lexington Kentucky.
Thanks much!
@@steve-nr3gn You are welcome. I hope it helps.
Hot do the vents keep the bugs out? The louvers look wide open
There is a screen on the inside.
how far down from the top did you make your line?
Sorry for the delay, it has been a while since I did that job. I went back by and looked. It was about 6 to 8 inches. I hope this helps.

@@charlesmcgehee3227 Yes, this is right. I didn't think of that when I replied. Thank you for your input.
Excellent video sir thanks a lot
You are welcome. Glad I could help.
How do you do this whens theres existing aluminum siding already there?... Or is there a specific gable thats made to go over existing siding?
You would have to remove the siding. Install the new vent and then cut the siding to fit the vent. Don't use a saw to cut the siding, you should be able to cut the aluminum siding with a pair of tin snips without too much trouble.

Could I replace gable vents with replacement windows. Thanks nice video
It depends on several things, how big, what is the framing like and so on. It would be hard to say without looking at it. Probably not replacement windows, but maybe a regular window.
Is this backwards? I thought the vent is always flush with the house? Or is this because it’s still under construction?
It was still under construction
what if there's existing old cedar siding. any tips on cutting a gable opening without wrecking the siding?
You would have to get a different type of vent and cut it to size. The type of vent I am using is specifically for vinyl siding. Most lumber yards should be able to tell what kind of vent to buy.
Ladder socks are the best.
I bought a gable vent to close off a hole in the gable where cats were getting in at. I don’t know if it will fit because I can’t get up there to measure too well.
If you can't get up there, how were you planning on installing it?
Won’t this allow for my bugs, bees and flies to enter the attic?
No, there is a screen on the inside of the vent.
Installed it backwards. Vent should be inside the attic. I see there’s a beam blocking the hole so maybe that’s why you decided to do it backwards
It is not backwards. You don't know what you are talking about. If you installed it inside the attic, the frame that goes on last would not attach.
Alright children, knock it off!

They don't make 45 foot ladders sorry and you probably won't need anything near that 24 footer will do just fine in most cases
@@EndTimesDisciple And nobody has ever died from falling a paltry 24 feet? Of course not. (sarcasm).
Where is his eye protection!?
Stand back, there are *men* working.
Where are your tampons pussy?

@@dropndeal
Safety harness? Maybe if you have no legs you might need one
I had to turn it off. Lol
thats installed backwards lol
No it's not.
It's not plywood...you are cutting OSB. And Duh...it's safer using a battery powered saw for this job.
It is eaches own. It is only safer if you have one. The average homeowner doesn't and that is who iIdo the videos for.
Yeah, shut up lynn.
