    Love this book! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

    Been watching a lot of videos on window installation. Anyone can figure it out but to do it right takes knowledge and experience. And if not done right you'll just cause yourself more problems in the future. Roofing, siding, windows and doors are meant to keep the elements out (obviously) but if not done right you'll just introduce elements to the framing of the house and will slowly rot and cause havoc and money. Great video, best one I've seen on window installation. Great channel.

      @joeframer9642 6 лет назад +14

      This is not the best way...before folding over the window pan ,first put a piece of vycor or similar across the opening extending by each side about 6”..using vycor.(9”) you can adhere the top half (4 1/2”) to the wall leaving the paper on the bottom half..then fold the pan over the vycor...why ? Because you want to tuck your sidewall under this vycor then seal it over your sidewall...why ? So any water drains out over the shingles not Behind them.......also the drip cap should go on before the top seal is applied.....nice try but I’ll stick with our system,no leaks 35yrs.........there’s more

    Finally someone that know how to do it. I’ve watched a dozen guys that say their way is best and all were not totally right. I prefer the way you did it on the right side. No way for water under the fabric to wick around and into the house or onto the wood frames.

  • @dsm9785
    @dsm9785 3 года назад +1

    One thing I would add is a horizontal piece of quality tar paper across the bottom before starting this process. As he discribes you always want to direct water away. With this piece at the bottom you can direct any water coming down the sides of the window between the window and trim/siding, out over the siding below, and trim off what shows after the siding is installed. It’s not as easy with vinyl siding, but can be done. I’m not a fan of house wraps, since it covers the whole wall from top to bottom, and when siding multiple holes will penetrate through leaving a spot for water to eventually get in. I have always been a firm believer of installing siding paper/house wrap in stages and have it come out over the top of the siding, overlapping the siding and paper/wrap. This directs water away. Siding is not water proof, and will always find a way in, but the more you can do to direct water away helps. Also lessons the chance of water damage/rot to the sheathing and framing later on.
