Geez!! These are the most artistically positioned, plum, even, and eye-pleasing widows and window frames I've ever seen installed. I'm still looking for finger & thumb prints on anything - especially the windows & frames. Beyond that, I don't know of anyone who'd admit to re-installing what you did because of a preliminary measurement error; not to mention the fact that THE HOUSE IS NOT SQUARE in the first place. Hats off to you guys.

The corner window trim journey was really cool. I've been down a siding video rabbit hole because of an upcoming project at my house. I am lucky though because it is a corner only that will be about a 10' length on the front with a 2' or 3' turn on the corner. I really like the pre-made corners with this LP product.

There are as many ways to hide old and crooked as there are accomplished carpenters. The tricks you employed are all good. Your advice on the gauge blocks is not wrong, but it is still always a necessity to check and recheck. Just look at some old crooked house remodels where they didn't use their head or didn't care. The stop gauge is only as good as the user in the end. They're great for consistency and efficiency. They can't make it an automatic process. Great video. Thanks for sharing

Did I miss laying out the studs with a stud finder? If you are shooting 2 1/4 inch siding nails into plywood it will go deep enough to hit wiring and plumbing. By using 1 3/4 inch nails and trying to hit studs you stand a better chance of missing. Also spray paint pipes and wire bundles on the tyvek.

@chrismalamatos5984 Ай бұрын

You gotta be kidding me if you think this guy needs help 😂😂😂. How amateur do you have to be if you need a stud finder.. the nail pattern is exposed prior to house wrap install. Id probably say those marks were transferred at the bottom and/or the top. This guy from RR is the best there is at carpentry.

at the electric meter, having no idea if you did this or not, buy some 2inch U channel riser for protecting the service cable coming out of the meter to go into the house and enough to go up to the weather head on the wire where it hooks to the overhead lines. The wire going into the house looks like it has gotten a bit too much sun and is starting to degrade. ** PVC Ribbed Cable Guard PE-2UG8 U-Guard Riser ** googling that should get you going in the right direction, you can get it in various colors, white and black and most often found in grey. Looks good man, thanks for making videos for us, regular t.v. sucks now.

Interesting seeing someone doing it in another country. I dunno if its the difference in climates, but we'd never break the cladding system for the window trims as its just another moisture in a point behind the cladding. Also, we'd install the window after cladding generally so that we can seal it as part of the cladding system.

@davidhorsley1149 4 жыл бұрын

In this day and age things are different but it used to be that in addition to a tape, every man working on our job carried a 6' folding rule. We would do as you did and get your reference point (usually 1/2" below the mud sill) and then measure to the boxing at all corners. We would figure our exposure, subtract the freeze board and then divide that into our height. We would then do our layout up the inside of the corners all the way around. In the event of any variation between corners, we would use the rule, slipping it up 1/16" or 1/32" at the lowest corner to achieve an even layout. You usually only did your layout 4 times because you could transfer the layout around the corner with a square. It's handy also to keep two sets of mason's line blocks and a ball of mason's line to transfer the layout mid wall or over door opening trim. You won't see them any more and I doubt carpenters today would know what they are but a preacher comes in handy for marking siding too, (not the kind you see in church on Sunday morning).

Greg gets his house upgraded....zero cost to him, all costs to the homeowner (Kyle). Windows need replacing, who pays? Boiler (furnace I think American's call it) who pays? The homeowner, building insurance, who pays? Interest on a mortgage, nope not if you rent. Purchase fees and taxes, nope not if you rent. There is a lot to be said for renting, in many countries such as Germany renting is the norm and home ownership is in the minority.

My retired boss always said when you're doing new siding on an old house you always measure from the soffit down to get your lines for your starting edge because then you're always going to be even with the soffit he's got A good eye that he can even pick out a quarter inch difference. And instead of using wood glue we used to color match quad adhesive. If you go excessive you just let it dry and then peel it off.

Hey Sir, I have a question. My house was built in 1986 with smart side on top of plywood sheeting (no tyvek or anything) the top of each board and the metal flashing were sealed with silicone. No leaks or mold or any water damage since the silicone is still holding strong. Now I have to replace a deck door for a window. Could I do the same (plywood, siding, silicone and metal flashing) or I have to wrap my house up on plastic and tape? Thanks

Kyle, when you trimmed out the double window at 5:27 would you ever have an instance that you’d put flashing with a kick (like you did at the top of the window) to channel water away from getting behind the siding because of the gap you need to leave in the trim board you notched around the window?

@jakemansavage9505 Жыл бұрын

Great stuff, very informational. I love watching your videos, but I can't seem to find exact details on that very last course on installing below sofit. It looks like a lot of people use a 1×3 trim board does that go over the last course or does that go on 1st and the lap siding butts up to it? and do you caulk anywhere? Along sofit? Thanks.
