Going that extra mile like how you sealed the windows just shows the pride you take in your job. Not many would do that. Keep up the excellence.

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzfaq.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

I'm restoring a small outbuilding that is over 100 years old. I come back to your videos over and over again. Your commitment to quality and the time to document everything has helped me immensely. Thank you!

40 year carpenter here; Decades ago, mainly coastal cities were mildly waterproofing homes, mostly tar paper on the walls with no jamb wrapping, prior to installing (any) exterior veneer. Over the past 2 decades, the discovery of water damage on the substrate and framing has caused building codes to be more stringent & home builders to be more conscious of the fact that structures should be waterproof prior to any type of veneer, stone, brick, wood siding, vinyl siding, concrete siding, etc...being installed. The long-term benefits are blatantly obvious! Even with house wrap, we've always overlapped all four sides of window openings, it's definitely beneficial!! Keep up the fine tuned work, it will be appreciated by all your customers!! Btw, a smaller router bit will create less dust, I've always used a 1/4" roller bit on sheathing. Also, sheetrock has been cut out around windows, electrical boxes, etc... the same way for quite a long time...1/8" guide tip bit. It takes finesse tho!

Adding extra protection to the window openings is never over kill. I think pitching the sill a few degrees is another smart idea. If there is a window failure those steps will pay dividends down the road for the owners. A slow window leak that finds it's way inside is a disaster to repair once it's found. Those extra steps are what make you a premium builder and enjoyable to watch.

I'm just in awe at your care in the details! And so thankful to have so many entries already in the running for winning the building when you hit 2 million subscribers! Thanks Kyle and Greg for the amazing work ethic! 👏

Kyle, Speak to your Router Bit supplier and see if you can get a left handed spiral bit, these will push the saw dust away from you, making the job easier and cleaner for you. Cheers Keep up the great work and content.

You both should be given an award and be put into a builder's magazine for amazing work and skills

I love the window detailing! Awesome job!

Thanks for filming this awesome video Kyle. 👍😁

My guy, it's better to overdo than not do it at all. I hate that stupid "that's overkill" bs people say. The fact you thought about the next person, make the choice to go that extra step really shows the type of great person/builder you are. TOTALLY necessary my friend!

I am a finish carpenter but I really learn so much watching you! I am older than you however God has graced me with good genes and I outwork almost all the younger guys ! Greg is a very fortunate young man to follow you around! I know Post Frames are coming here so I am all about learning! Oh one last shout out! You work all your life? Retirement is absolutely boring! Come on go to work men! Learn a trade!

Your client will thank you as the years go by, thank you, for sharing.

One of your better videos for details, interest and team atmosphere. thanks for sharing

Fantastic work as always Kyle and Greg! We always router our window and door ROs. Works great!

If you guys are building it, then yeah, it'll be awesome. Thank you for all the videos of your journey!

Window wrap looks clean!

Got that same Metabo framing nailer a couple of months ago, love that thing!

Y’all are the best! Love the content😊

I look up to you so much man. Your patience, attitude, and passion almost bewilder me with every video. Absolutely love to watch the precision and care you take in every thing you do.

Kyle , its always a good practice to be sure than avoiding to do it ( taping the window frame before an install) Moisture is a house killer. All your builds are quality and they last long, because you don't leave out any detail and you build with care. Be it prep work for windows or installing metal roofing without a scratch. You're building it like its your own house or barns in your other projects. Happy new year to you all!

a really very nice view from this angle

Quality & Effort !!!!👍👍

Totally agree with routing the openings, but what I use is a full face respirator with an integrated face shield. Makes the job so much nicer.

Never Fails Outta Nails excellent merch idea

I love the window details!

fantastic as always Kyle..

+2 points @ 13:28 keeping a straight face after that comment! Been watching these 2 guys for a few years now and a lot of subtle adult jokes these guys bring. Funny. Thanks for the all around entertaining AND educational videos guys.

Mr Miagi would be damn proud of your squeegee left squeegee right technique... you all are killing it... totally rocking it!

You hit it square on the head about the sloped lower window sill. Belt and suspenders, you said and I agree, as is the sheathing as opposed to just house wrapping it. The codes likely require them but the client might also have some say. Another great R&R project coming closer to delivery! FR

Right at the end, when you were talking about the window sill seals, that's when you should insert images of sill work you have done in the past. The angled sill is good too, but so are photos of work you did 10 years ago. It would be some work, but it would be cool if you took us to look at some of your old projects, plus you would have all that stock footage after the visit to insert in your future vids. Happy new year, man.

Another great video!!

Put your router on a pole. It takes some “engineering” to get a pole attached but it’s worth it. You get further away from the router and you don’t need a ladder to reach the tops of the doors and windows. Attach it to the pole at the perfect angle and use an extension style paint pole. Trust me you’ll love it.

Youre videos are very usefull!, I was watching the chanell "Ambition Strikes"!! and they built a garage + living house and they state that they follow youre tips Kyle to do the build. so Good Job.

Great music at the end!

Hi there. I just wanted to give you a shout out. I never framed a thing in my life and took up a project for a client building him a 60x40 garage. It took me almost 2 months start to finish by myself, and I would have never known what to do without the countless hours of videos I watched by your channel. I wish I could upload the photo. Thanks. It looks beautiful

Going that extra mile and making sure a job is done right the first time is _always_ worth it. Never doubt that.👌 If I ever were able to build my own home, I would opt for slanted window sills, but that's just my personal preference, "belt and suspenders" and all that. But in the grand scheme of things I don't think it makes _that_ much of a difference... unless we get some hard numbers down the line proving us wrong.

Oh the Concrete is to come, and the Floor to become a Structure. Your make a Side Wall, and to Prepare the Window hole. Greeting 🇦🇹

Kyle, you're watched out here in Western SD, too. We discuss your work and plot ways to get you to come build US a shop, because of your attention to detail.

Kyle, get yourself a DOWNCUT 1/4" spiral router bit. It will push the sawdust to the inside of the building, and away from the person cutting. Makes it much easier. I also built an extension pole for the router base, and use that when cutting sheathing if the walls are sheathed before raising (not applicable in your case)

another great video! TIP try a long handle for the router when cutting openings, think long handle ice scraper or square bottom shovel modified to fit the router. Also, someone, I think ZIP/HUBER makes a stretch tape for window corners probably a faster install at a price, not necessarily better but an option. Keep up the good work

Doing the first layer probably seals the fasteners I have never pre done the top and sides like that usually a foot or so on sides. But probably a good idea. Lots of ways to waste money on a job site sealing is not one of them. I have considered rolling around with some red guard lol it would be like the paint on the new ply products.

They also make a flex tape. It's not ridged like the black tape your using. It cost more and is basically just for the outside bottom corners of your windows.

You should check out the Dorken Delta- FAS Corners for the window sill corners.

What's kinda cool... If that concrete pumper was Original, that's a company my brother-in-law started when he lived in Illinois 30 years ago. :-)

Greg killing it with the blower lol

Kyle I think you got lucky when your hired Greg and Greg was as fortunate to get hired by you. A great working team.

Well worth it. I would use DuPont flex wrap for the lower sills. That way, it’s one continuous piece of protection. Thanks.

I imagine taping the sides of the sheathing to the 2x is going to help with air flow. If you're doing a high efficiency house, you don't want any way for air to get behind the sheathing. If you were only trying to stop water infiltration, the tape you put over the window flanges is going to be sufficient, but what that tape doesn't cover is air working its way up from the bottom.

Kyle the router is by far better than any method I've used

GOOD AFTERNOON

I use the same knife as you lol. Gold tip Lennox ftw

That seems crazy lugging that 40lbs cylinder of propane around up there! But I guess that's what you do all those reps in the morning for!

Wish I could get you to Florida to put up a barndo on my land north of TPA. I'd have a nice guest house at a friend close by to stay in.

I’m surprised that you don’t use a 3m full mask when routing out the windows/doors. It has made situations like that much more enjoyable for me. Cheers

You're taping of the windows will likely help with air flow/penetration as well as the minimal moisture issue you mentioned.. Id rather over deliver than under promise

Forgot to seal the corners of the building. Unless it's going to be on another episode! Great job as always!

We used Sierra windows on multi$$million Tahoe houses. Pretty sure way cheaper than Anderson or Pella and probably better quality/lower maintenance.

If Kyle thinks something is overkill ... it is DEFINETLY overkill. haha.

I’m fixing to build a house in middle ga and wish I knew somebody with the attention to detail as yourself to build my forever home! Anybody?

Sounds ignorant I know , but I hear you referring to the nail guns in degrees. What's the purpose in having different degree nail guns. Oh yeah , love the videos guys. Great work but you already know that. KEEP EM COMIN PLZZZZZ

I think you’re spot on about a pitched sill, absolutely no need for it in my opinion

I wish I could do this for a living

Hey Kyle. Big ask, but could you make a video on some options to finish a post frame building with a preexisting slab for plumbing for let say toilets and showers.

It is all air barres At rough openings the self adhering is the air barrier and when the interior sealant joint is placed between the window and the self adhering this completed the air barrier If you were to slope the sill you would also have to gap the flange of the widow to let the water out Interior sealant joint is critical in this assembly Completely sealing the window flange with sealant is another method and you are creating a barrier system Head flashing over the trim is best And sealant joint between the trim and the window is the weather barrier Research sealant joint configuration

Great video how long does the battery last

Sealing around the window is important if you want the house to last 20 years, if you don't give a damn about quality and workmanship then you cheap things out, but the owner has to come back in two or three years and you end up with a bad reputation. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

I am curious as to why you prefer the squeegee over the roller for the tape.

We had the same experience with windows recently. Our windows came in when we were craning our roof definitely was caught off guard because like you said past year and half it takes window’s months to get in.

Good morning

Is that Conelo Alverez in the thumbnail? 😆

와우! 코리아 타입 온돌 파이프를 깔았네 매우 효과적이며 건강에 좋은 난방 방법입니다. 한국에서는 기름값이 비싸서 보일러 가동을 잘 안하고 있지만 기본적으로 갖추는 난방 시스템이죠

My only minor criticism is that the bottom sill should be sloped to ensure any water penetration runs down and away

Hey, could I see the layout for the interior? Maybe a link to it?

So with they tape that you are putting on all the joints for the sheathing would you want to put that same tape on every single corner to protect the sheeting or no?

You got me @ " You can easily Blow Me" 🤣😂🤣😂 ❤️ Job Site Comic Humour, Great job 👍

Hi there, I'm a former union electrician. I left the union to start my own business. Would it be possible to provide some content on the electrical rough-in? On another note, I felt bad for poor Greg having to do all that bending while rolling the roof seams. Do they make extensions for those rollers? Thanks for all the content.

That's odd. When I rotozip drywall openings I have to go counter clockwise so the bit don't walk off. Routers must spin the opposite direction

might of been covererd in another video or it might be dumb question but do you tape the corners?

I think it’s worth it. If we wanted to conceptualize the value added, we could simply take the time required to add those finishing touches to the rough opening, minus the time required to NOT add those finishing touches, and multiply by the number of rough openings on the building (assuming they are similar and size and complexity). If you find that the total added time exceeds a reasonable threshold, in which you would be losing value added to the house, don’t do those extra steps. With all that said, in this age of building, we are normally waiting on someone or something, which would make value added tasks easy to justify. Thanks Kyle!

Hey Kyle, like watching your KZfaq channel lots of info. I have a quick question for you. Do you have to keep the LP weather logic sheathing off of concrete or is it okay to put it right on the concrete ? Oh this is D’s husband Bryan asking the question.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought Canelo up and changed careers

What kind of seal tape is that again? Very nice job.

Did the drone crash at the end, or was that just an awesome transition to close out? :) lol

Hello, do you guys build a barn house in Florida, or helping to build one? Please let us know. Thank you

Where can I get the tape you use? I need it for my projects! Please and thank you!

Check out this router bit. I like to use this on the bottom of the window opening before taping. Probably overkill. Amana Tool 47144 Carbide Tipped Patternmakers 3 Deg x 3/4 D x 2-1/8 CH x 1/2 Inch SHK Router Bit.

It's all about mitigation....

you going to take us back to the other barndo for a finished tour?

Is there a particular reason you don't order the windows with the jambs for the wall thickness vs having to make jamb extensions?

Concrete floors poured right over osb ...?

10:07 aka Man Glitter 😂

Did a hotel and windows were 8 months out. Put tyvek over the openings and just started rocking....not ideal lol...

Is this post frame on a footer instead of usual piers? Looks like a footer near the end of the video where the footing for the porch is going? And why not use the weatherlogic on the roof like usual? Any difference between the new aluminum type and usual weather logic?

Concrete guy don't want no damn interview 😂😂😂

Does LP require a specific roller for the tape? Like ZIP system does to keep the warranty.

Do you pitch the rough opening sill a few degrees during the rough framing?

What is the best construction calculator App ?

no flex tape on the corners?

Did you ever have a nail go through a board and hit anyone on the other side? Your craftsmanship is top notch man, love your videos
