I have been building and remodeling for 25+ years now. I do just about everything, some things more than others. But, in the remodeling business, ya just never know what the heck you're going to come across. I'm not to proud to say that I know everything there is to know. Nor am I to proud to take the time to learn something new. Sometimes when we do this type of work, we have a tendency to get wrapped up in that "tunnel vision" approach. That's why I like to watch your videos and others out there. It lets me see how other people are going about doing things, and sometimes I learn new things. I definitely like your style and approach. Keep up the good work.

Another thing that you can do is make like an 1 1/2” bend on to the wall so you don’t have to nail into the side of the door frame Also for the side pieces instead of 45ing them just cut them straight so Incase you cut to much off the top piece will cover when you 45 it

This video showed you a different option when you have a wood door frame that you can attach wood to as apposed to a vinyl window that you can not nail a layer of wood over. In the end this door and the windows all get the same wide trim and all look the same from a few steps back.Also in this case I needed a little more of a lip so i can install a storm door after. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5OoeL2G3r62ZKc.html

@growforit87364 жыл бұрын
Don't cut your side trim on a 45. Leave them square cut to the top or the header. The side faces of the trim leave a 1 1/4 flange under header, and on the top. Cut the header trim full length of the header ,make your 45 on each end. Use white silicone to glue on side jams on. Glue on the header put calk on each end of the header on the top to seal ends. Also calk under the 45 miter cuts a small bead abit back to keep it from coming out the ends. I run my j-channel first add trim then calk. Also ends of side jams need capping.

Personally I prefer to use a piece of coloured metal under the door in those situations. I will often use even a piece cut from fascia,cut it longer than the width of the door by 2 -4 inches and nail it in place where the siding will cover the nails near the outside . Run the side J channels long from the sides of the door to the step. If you need more help or a picture of what I'm explaining please post in our forum.www.house-improvements.com/forums/

I bought an expensive fiberglass dooe and the damn thing came delivered and installed with pine brick mold. The pine brick mold in 5 years rotted at the bottom even though I top coated it every other year. Water settles at the bottom as the water runs down. Why would a door mfr. do that when they know the reason you're buying an exterior water proof door to begin? It's like buying a Corvette with a fiberglass body because you hate rust, only to find out the wheel wells are still made of metal. Doesn't make sense except to build in obsolescence.
