How to Replace Sun Damaged, Dried, Cracked Exterior Wood Window Trim with PVC
In this video, I replace my exterior window trim. This window is sun facing and the trim was very dry, brittle, and starting to crack. By replacing it with pvc trim, it will last a lot longer than regular wood. I hope this video helps if you needed to do this project or one like it.

    last time i did window units in my house i took all the foam out and loaded it in a dishwasher with a bit of bleach for the first run and then two times more with dishwasher detergent on the hottest wash. foam on top rack and grille and filter on bottom. the filter came out like new. the foam came out well too.

    18:00 - probably you use wrong material to seal it, you have to use a membrane instead of airtight tape. Now the water will condense inside of the insulation during the cold time of the year and you will have to change the whole window.

      @@TheFixerHomeRepair Oil paint is chemically made on a plastic basis, not water-based like latex. So oil paint 100% does not absorb water inside and the wood does not rot. In Europe, 50 years ago, only oil paint was used on external and the wood did not rot even after 30 years. The only thing was that it wasn't good for business for the paint company, because you don't have to use oil paint for a long time, so they had no business. In my opinion, they invented latex on the externals. 😁

      Right. But when you have water pouring through a spot that needs flashing the paint is not going to help at all. In fact, it might hold more water in. The back of the trim, sheathing and framing are not painted. The problem was not the type of paint, it was a lack of flashing.

    7:26 going to be a little more particular than most people would even be concerned with, but you will notice that you learned the hard way during this process not to pry channel locks against drywall... wall went from not dented to dented during the splice followed directly by your advice not to pry against the drywall. One additional tip, if you place the wood/trim that you are prying against flat against the wall rather than angled like you did, you shouldn't get that corner dig in the drywall like you did. Again, not a big deal, yoy were able to quickly adjust and finish the job, but newbies might have a more difficult time if not being mindful of this. Especially if you have the prywood outside of the covered area. Good luck!
