The black with the cedar looks really nice.
Thank you! Thanks for watching!!
The windows are really bringing the shed together. I can't wait to see how you do the sliding windows!
Thanks! It’s a bit different - can’t wait to share! 🙂
The windows look great, you two made it looks easy! The shed is really coming together.
Thank you!
Appreciate this! We have these fixed window all over our old cedar home, and this helps us troubleshoot them.
Neat! Glad we can help! We’re about to do a new video in the next few weeks of installing two new fixed windows in our cedar sided contemporary home 😎
this is awesome. I'm building my pottery studio and this idea saves me a ton of money
Glad it helped! Share a link when you finish your pottery studio - we’d love to see it!
Very helpful going to use this method on my sauna build. Thank you.
Glad it was useful - thanks for watching!
Not that your approach on the windows wont work but it is very likely that you will have leaking and rot in 3 years or so. When you are working on it again then, just wrap the edges if the glass in drip cap before re-installing. To direct the water away and protect the edges of the siding. It will last a lot longer like that. Plus that opening is going to grow in size as the wood shrinks from age making the battle of water intrusion that much more challenging, the drip cap will help that too. Note, my advice here isn't recommended construction methods or standard practice but it is a simple and effective approach that you can utilize congruent with your purposes and desired out come in this case. Very cute building with neat banding trim.
Hi Ryan - thanks for the input! Yep, for a house, we’d definitely use a drip cap. With this shed, it has a 2’ overhang close to it and sees very little water (unless it’s sideways rain). With all of the wood being cedar as well, it’ll be fairly slow to rot unless it has standing water.
We’ll be installing new fixed windows for our house soon where we’ll definitely be adding drip caps to the build. 🙂
@@buildingmodern I missed the cedar part. That'l buy you a few years. I'm in South Florida, lots of water and humidity year round, lots of rot.
@@ryanraynor3248 we're in a humid, though not that humid, environment as well. So far, it's doing fine. ... but with the frequent hurricanes & rain in Florida, I might go with composite decking material. The rain you guys get is no joke!
Hey Everyone - thanks for watching! We hope you enjoyed the video! We're definitely happy to have these windows installed - can't wait to share next week's sliding windows! If you have any questions, see something we did wrong, or otherwise, please feel free to leave a comment. We're not claiming to be experts at this, but just showing how we installed our fixed windows and how they've been successfully installed in our 80's style cedar contemporary house. We're happy to answer any questions that we can. Happy building! 🥳
What thickness of glass is that?
I believe the glass was 1/4” tempered glass. 🙂
