The only way I could stand listening to that singer wailing was to imagine that she cut her finger with her box cutter knife. Try it. It starts to make sense! Lol

The only time you would use window foam is if you're stud is warped or there is a space in between the window frame and stud when everything is installed.

Depending on if you use sheetrock or wood to dress the inside stud opening the sprayfoam always ends up cut out and blowing in the breeze on the floor.

@@lukepotosky7710 There is always a space lol. You don't frame things tight.

What kind of caulk would you use where the nail flange meets the Tyvek ?

@@andresmedina1279 as he stated, tape the edge. cut tyvec@ edge of window. this seals the tyvec@ the rough opening. doing this stops air from getting into the house @ the sides of the window. just because someone makes a video does't mean it's the last word. use your own thought's and process what you are seeing. just think about it. air is a powerful thing.. as is water & frost.

@@andresmedina1279 Dupont makes a sealant Residential Sealant that is formulated to go with their products.

If the air is behind the Tyvek it will get into the house even if the sides were not wrapped in, unless all sheathing joints are sealed etc. Also since the sides wrap around they terminate behind the drywall in the wall cavity unless the subs trim them at the inside.

​@@andresmedina1279 always use lexcell for everything that needs to be waterproof . It's a little expensive but a superior product

99 out of 100 contractors would never find it...

Haha.. Good one!!! 😄

I would skip tape that part.

Glad you liked the music as it made me almost leave the video. It was too loud in comparison to the vocals of the trainer and became obnoxious in my personal opinion.

I'm not a professional, but I suggest temporarily removing the windows in order to properly seal around them using the same method as presented.

Definitely tilt the sill outwards. I use a 2° angle on my cripples to get a tilt

No😂 that's not shingled

Joel Serna no

Well if you want your window manufacturer to honor their warranty & pass inspection from the county i live in California you better put those nails in bottom. Don't call the bottom & I use the thinnest shim to leave a tiny gap before you drive the nails in so if water does get behind it, it has a path to drain. Also with vinyl if you don't put a few nails in bottom nail flange to keep it from saging over time & pulling the bottom track down & out of square. Especialy for big heavy slider windows. Some inspectors will let it pass without the lower nails, but if the window manufacturer comes out to inspect a warranty issue & those nails aren't present & they call for them in their install instructions, they won't honor the warranty.

Which was??

Not all regions use drip caps and it can depend on what the cladding material is.

The siding guy installs the drip cap

you will have watch yours again to find out. ty raz

Do it!

LOL In different regions framing members are referred to by different names. Usually the cripples are above or below the window and a jack or trimmer is used with the king stud at the sides, but again depends on who you are talking too.

I believe so if any water gets underneath the window it can leave by gravity

Never seal the bottom some like to actually use a tiny shim under the flange and pitch the sill so in the event water gets in it goes out instead of traveling into the home

No. The video did not show the completion of the sill pan. At the inside you run a bead of sealant at the window frame to the FlexWrap which creates a sill pan. If a leak should occur above and run down the jambs it will hopefully collect on the sill in the sill pan and be redirected back to the exterior. Thus the sill is not sealed to let the water weep out if needed.
