A few critical items were missed nonetheless.

Well, he's not showing what it did to the interior trim, when he bashed the stool up and out. That'd beat the hell out of the interior trim. His demolition is rough, mighty rough.

Thanks man!

hartleyktm Thank you!

John Hall thanks John!

...and I did...and it looks great; thanks to you!

Sad but true. I actually liked a lot of his work other than the fact that he doesn’t have anything to wipe his finger on to draw a clean caulking line and he didn’t end prime any of the wood so to your point yes that shit will rot out faster than the original slower growth timber.

I've used PVC. I think its great for preventing future rot. I've encountered a few windows that have had PVC on them for a quite a few years and they seem to be lasting great.

AbbieHoffmansGhost You can find the sill and sill nose pieces premade at either Home Depot or Lowe’s home improvement.

My local Home Depot and Lowe’s don’t have them. Maybe because of COVID 19 they are having problems getting wood.

Haha, 🤣

I was wondering about that too. When he put the brick moulding in at the bottom I was like, "No sealant?? Nothing??"

Matthew G Thank you. On the inside there is an apron and a stool. I think I called the apron a curtain in the video. The board going into the sill is called a sill nose.

I used acrylic caulking

In most cases the sills will stay in place with new window installs. The new window usually sits on top of it.

@@ChrisSilverman can you find thinner sills. The pocket windows we bought were measured to be a 1/2 smaller but for a few windows Lowe’s decided to make it a 1/4 shorter basically leaving little room to fit the window.

I got it from Home Depot

I tried treated lumber once. It wasn't the best because it had to be custom cut and didn't fit the best. It is definitely better to match it with the appropriate sill.

@@ChrisSilverman thank you, I'll stick to the same size

@@rustedhorsepower5132 You may choose to look at "Radiata Pine" as it is being used on exterior applications by Jeff Sweenor on recent episodes of "This Old House". It is farmed in New Zealand, trimmed each year to reduce knots and treated and sold in many sizes. If you only have one window to do, go with whats local, but if you can find a facebook page for Jeff Sweenor, you may asked him about his experience with it. He joined the This Old House crew on the "Net-Zero" house and a "New Products" home shown in season 40. The species grows in central coastal areas of California but its currently being planted in Australia but perhaps special treatment is used in New Zealand as it is close to the US Eastern seaboard. There are a number of suppliers signed up to sell it for this purpose on exterior applications.

@@deankay4434 wow, sounds cool. Alot of good stuff comes from new Zealand

@@rustedhorsepower5132 Depending on thickness and width, some use a quality stair treads in several common species as well. These are found at most any home improvement store sold each. Since New Zealand is just off the NE coast, it is easy to get product shipped into the states. Just don't forget the sill tilts down at 15 - 22 degrees but more important have a dado cut on outside bottom lip to break waters surface tension to allow for water to drip off. Use a saved cut section of the old to get angle and drip edge location to match others not being repaired. Also, use a quality oil-based sealer on all sides, let dry and apply a second coat. Using a silicone sealant inside to help seal water intrusion under the brick moulding and the siding. Tommy, from "This Old House" sprayed a low-expanding foam under the sill just as he was installing the sill. This not only provide insulation but as it expands, lifts the sill plate upward to provide a nice looking connection to the inside trim plate or stool as they call it.
