    Great video!
    Bought my own house that needed gutted and completely redone. Been using your library to help with the things I didnt know.
    I worked residential framing and remodeling back in the 90s and still have retained a pretty good idea how to DIY most things even though I have been working heavy construction for the last 20years. Especially windows, I installed hundreds. But your other vids have shown me some new tricks that I didnt know since tech and materials have evolved in the last 20 years so I figured I'd check this one out.
    Back in the day we used to build up sills and sides with plywood or dimensional lumber to minimize the gaps, shim and then stuff fiberglass in the gaps and caulk the interior. Cap the exterior with aluminum we'd bend on a brake and then caulk seams.
    The way you wrapped the tyvek, waterproofed the sill and used foam just makes so much sense from an insulation and waterproof sense. I'm glad I watched before I started my installs. They have come a long way with foams in the decades I've been out of the game.
    Thanks for the great content

      Im assuming you ladies are leaning how to be “Handy Men”? If so, good for ya! Hope all works well, no better feeling that when YOU BUILD IT! And, you can say “don’t need a man to do work for ya” and it saves ya SOOOOO much money. For example. Doing my Front Porch Roof and A window and a peace of Vinal and minuscule paint touch up. But, a contractor woulda “UP” charge items and pay labor. Do all that, talking $2500+. Do it MYSELF, talking $850ish....BIG DIFFERENCE!

    You the man!! You made it simple, common sense and included the very important details for window purchase, tools, moisture defense and thermal breaking. I'm replacing 30 year old double hung windows and I'll find out if any of the defense tech that was available during that time was used as I'm anticipating some rot. Most of all you have me looking forward to replacing a window for the first time as well as it being the prototype for the others including a picture window replacement.
    Thank you very much and I look forward to your other videos on all things renovation!

    Hey Jeff! Thanks for all of the time you put into educating us! My wife and I bought a major fixer upper house in Orangeville, ON and close in January, 2022. We've done many remodels over the years but never a gut job down to the studs (renovation); nor have I done windows before... I feel I have a good understanding of most things, since I've dabbled in just about everything, but your videos have certainly helped me understand things way better than before... And maybe even made me realize I did a lot wrong haha. Since we live and work in similar areas, I was hoping you could recommend a window wholesaler that I should order my new windows from. Thanks again!!

  • @DomDollx
    @DomDollx Před rokem +4

    I am so grateful rn to have come across your channel, instantly subbed. I'm on my 3rd video ...even if they're long as heck! - but we're in a mess with a new house with almost a complete reno and we've just cut ties with our 2nd contractor bc of all the bs they're pulling. I'm adding a tidbit here so others can be cautious. Don't rip out everything just because the contractor/hired help is intimidating you to do so! we were bullied and manipulated to do fixes we could've lived with and we decided it's just better to DIY some of the stuff we want to do and get specialized help with plumbing and electrical.
    Thank you so much for these helpful videos, I just learned a bunch of stuff about window install. Taking notes, rewinding etc like this is a university lecture!
    I appreciate the following about your videos (and I watch a lot of home improvement stuff and am a millennial): 1. 0 bs music covering up what you're saying 2. pauses at the right places, cutting out unnecessary bits so we can stick to the video which is already technical and long 3. very technical ...no loooongggg personal anecdotes, with light humor and mainly focused on instructional content 4. mentions of useful tools, materials, variations in applications and potential differences in conditions etc.
    again, ty so much!

    Jeff, I would like to thank you for the extra work you do to make your DIY videos. Your information and demonstrations have been very useful to me. I am restoring a late 19th century 2 storey log cabin that was relocated to a waterfront site 40 years ago, it was reconstructed to about 90% complete and then abandoned. It had no maintenance for about 20 years. I have had to abate the attic, replace windows, add new siding, rebuild a deck and 3 season room - and I have referred to your videos as my go-to resource. Not only have you saved me a ton of money, but the tips, tricks and recommendations for certain products that will help to avoid water problems in the future have made the job easier and more fun. It feels like I have done a good job ensuring I can enjoy the cottage without concerns or worry that I took a shortcut where I should not, or that the work is somehow insufficient. So, I wish I could shake your hand - virtual will have to do. I wish you much success in your business and I sincerely thank you.

    The main reason I come to this channel before trying anything at home is because he tells me everything I need to know, not everything there IS to know and it makes it so much easier to understand and not feel as overwhelmed from information overload. And of course we're both Canadian so his store choices, building code mentions, and when he talks about weather patterns I know we have the same "types" of weather.

  • @deborahhefty2558
    @deborahhefty2558 Před 3 lety

    I wish I had found your video sooner! I just put a piece of wood under a replacement window (post termite repair - the replacement window was from 12+ years ago and not done correctly by "professionals" in the first place.) I did put a heavy glob of silicone behind it to meet up with outside. Now I wish I hadn't and just used the foam. It's wedged in pretty tightly so I doubt I can get it out safely. I love your videos and have been binge-watching them lately. We were thinking about doing some of the demo for 2 bathroom renovations to save money, but after you mentioned the cost of tub/shower without vs. with new floor tile we decided the estimated we got were reasonable and I will just watch the work being done to ensure it is done correctly. The videos are truly homeowner-friendly!

    My cordless reciprocating saw is the best tool I've ever bought. Haven't used my corded Sawzall for years. Not only can you use a battery powered reciprocating saw on anything around the house, you can use it on trees on your property and other tasks around the yard. Come to think of it, I'm going to sell my Milwaukee corded Sawzall, I hardly ever used it. My second favorite tool I would recommend is a cordless narrow crown stapler. Mine is a Ryobi and Ryobi doesn't get much respect but their cordless narrow crown stapler is awesome!

      One quick comment though. I notice that the windows did not match. The one on the left had a grille and the right one did not. We're you replacing both or was that intentional for another reason?

    Really great tutorial.
    I work reno and, if I may, add some notes from my experiences:
    1. side-HUNG & top-HUNG & PIVOT windows: the JAMBS are not always square, and I always check that the sides JAMBS are plumb, and that they align correctly with the SASH.
    2. big and heavy windows (2 person to move), as well as 2 sections (side-by-side) windows: I leave the bottom shims in place, as well as the shims under the link between the 2 sections (the same that I would do with sliding glass doors)
    Thx for sharing, again I've learned many new tricks.

      Hi Claude, when I order windows I always leave a little extra gap on an old house. in most cases if the window operates now then the new one will fit in the space just fine with the same measurements. Cheers with leaving in the shims.

      @@HomeRenoVisionDIY I guess my technical english is not that good. I edited my comment with proper terminology (hopefully).
      My comment was not related to measures, but to weight, shims & plumb jambs.
      - side-hung windows have a tendency to pull on the side jamb and unsquare the window casing (at installation time). So I check jamb plumb, and sash/window-case alignment, for complete free movement of the sash.
      - For very heavy windows (ie: 5'x6' double glass), I leave the bottom shims in place. I don't fully trust the foam.
      Hope that clarifies
      And thank you for previous notes...

    Wow, i really messed up and hired a contractor. I need more than my pinky fingers to push and pull the window. I really appreciate how easy you make your videos to understand and give the confidence to do it. I went to attic to check it out, and wouldn't you know it? Moisture on one side of the window inside below the window. Clown shoe installers, clown shoe contractors did the work around the window.

Bay window in bathroom has rotted thru and it’s the middle of Sept. with it being nearly impossible to find anyone to do the work except guys no one wants to hire. (I’ve met 3, had 4...nightmare) I figure I can do this...

    Your correct about your work being more professional than most actual professionals do. I got my garage professionally done by danleys garage. And I just saw a ceiling joist where they put a nail through supposedly to attach it to another piece of lumber. And the nail completely missed it so it’s not even attached to anything. Is just a nail going through the joists for decoration

    What Jeff didn't realize is that water gets behind the house wrap during driving rain and the wrap acts as a funnel, dumping water behind all his barriers and comes out leaking through the trim. The plus side of this is I make a fortune fixing installs like this when I have to remove the brick, fix it and reinstall the brick.

    Pro Tip: take out the screws and run the saw down the studs instead of cutting the frame in half. This covers two issues. First, if it is a nailing fin window you will cut the fins so you don't need to pull the siding off, and second, it is MUCH easier to remove the old frame. Only the top and sides need to be cut this way unless it has a nailing fin on all 4 sides. The frame should then tip out fairly easily.

    • @AA-zq1sx
      @AA-zq1sx Před rokem +2

      Agreed. Using a Sawzall to hack through a window frame like that is a total hackjob... just remove the old window the opposite of how it was installed in the first place. MUCH cleaner, faster and easier, with less potential to create more damage and problems.

      What is the explanation for measuring from the outside of the jamb? Other DIY videos instruct to measure the window opening which I would believe is the inside of the jamb.

    • @undead890
      @undead890 Před 3 lety +1

      @@randyscott4473 Depends on the circumstances. It's ideal to measure from the outside of the jamb if you are going to be removing the entire window frame, because that includes the jamb. This is usually only done when the walls are at the stage shown in the video (no drywall).
      If the walls are already done, you don't want to tear them out just to get to the jamb, so instead, for finished walls, you measure from the inside so the new window frame essentially will fit into the old window frame.
