You could hear someone behind the camera laughing

Yeah, glad they didn't edit that out! xD

lol your right. Those jam liners are easy to bend, put the window in the middle & bend them down then up & no worries. Unless your planing on reusing them, witch wouldn't be hard to do, in a garage or something.

I did it 😄

This gave me a good laugh.

I laughed out loud for realz

Dad? Is that you?

Isn’t this what most of us do?

Lol

A good contractor would charge you $40,000.00 That is what a friend paid in my area. Name brand windows. I replaced my own a few years back. $6,000.00

@@tryan7 that's more than half what I bought my house for

A divorce lawyer 😂😂

Nothing in my house is standard or square etc. I agree - this looked like a model home with prefitted everything. Divorce lawyer would be essential! 😆

I was waiting to see if it was gonna be off but was amazed cause that almost never happens

For sure. When built that well, you can just watch one of these videos and actually replace the windows yourself without any problems.

Yeah not on new construction once Jose and fresh off the boat Manuel who knows everything get ahold of houses to frame. I tell people new homes avoid em . Framing and building used to have respect now it's all newcomers and drug alcoholic divorced dads

What's the difference?

D M The stool is a part of the finish trim. The sill is a part of the structure that supports the bottom of the window.

As rare as hen's teeth

Thanks for that comment. That, along with this video, gives me confidence to do this myself!

Where do you recommend buying windows?

@@dblood8529 Big box store is fine for windows. Convenient and reasonable pricing.

And the installation "professionals" make themselves right at home and use your bathroom.

Uh, yes, I testify that your comment is true. My mother-in-law paid close to $10,000 dollars for 6 replacement windows.

Aaaaa, it did it!

Exactly. I wish somebody would take every bad scenario possible and show us how to handle them.

A box is a box (or frame).

with ANY replacement window you measure in multiple locations and use a level in case the house settled or other issues and always go with the smallest measurement and minus a little bit more for oopses shimming is easier then trying to shave either the window or the opening to gain some extra space, I've been installing replacement windows for over 20yrs and there's very little in the way of openings i haven't come across, installing the window is the easy part, measuring correctly and thinking ahead is the number 1 job, next not all windows are easy to remove as wood windows so most of your time is in this area of the job

It’s the same thing

@@krazzygranny7032 My house was built in 1947, not really considered that old, but it was built with very low ceilings. It's a small cape style with 6'7" ceilings. The problem with such a low ceiling, especially this particular house, is that who ever installed the windows and the two exterior doors didn't have room to install the top molding, interior & exterior, to the width of the side moldings. The exterior windows on the front and back have a top molding that is less than a 1/4 of the width of the side moldings. The top of the windows go right up to the roof line. I can almost clean out the gutters on the front of the house without using a ladder. Of course the interior top molding is the same. It just doesn't look good. I bought the house from a contractor who bought it as a flip and didn't go out of his way to make thw windows or doors more appealing. He replaced the old original windows but he didn't use new windows so they were all the same, he used windows that were replaced from other jobs or he found something at ReStore. 8 windows on the 1st floor and 2 on the 2nd ( 1 on each side of the house, someday I'd like to have a couple of dormer windows on the front of the house) and none of the windows are the same. Instead of spending the extra money replace the windows the right way so they would not only look good but be efficient he replaced them with what ever he could find, the cheaper the better. What I want to do is replace them with a window that is smaller in height so the same width molding can be used on the sides and top with a inch or two space between the top of the molding and ceiling. On the exterior I would actually like to just see the same size molding. I'm sure some work would be required to accommodate a smaller window, adding to the top of the open frame like a 2x4 would allow for a smaller window ( in height) . Before I can do this are there building code issues I need to look into first? The windows now look like crap because they look to be too big for the house. Before looking at new windows should I contact my town hall and check with current building codes or can I just install windows that aren't as tall as the ones on the house now?

Measures twice before ordering or cutting😇

If you look at some of the episodes, it's obvious things were fitted together and then taken back apart before the cameras start rolling.

I know...that's why i'm not impressed with his videos

That is what you get when you pay for experience.

He's a real expert in woodworking, knows a lot of tricks.

She didn't do much but stand around and twiddle a little and say okay. Id give a great job if she did the whole second one herself. Let’s face it. You guys find her attractive is all.

Nick P I’ll probably do the same too.

Just remember that sometimes contractors can screw stuff up just as bad as a home owner. I had a trim carpenter leave 1/4” gaps all over my house. I told him “I could’ve screwed this up just as good for free!” What you want to do is make sure you call a GOOD contractor

How did it go bud?

@@GoldenAura32 Haven't done it yet. Hopefully ordering windows this week.

@@johnathansawyer8736 how'd it go now?

@@GoldenAura32 ​ I changed my mind. LOL I'm an electrician and am hiring someone to do it that we may do some trading. He will be changing them from the outside by removing the metal around the window and replacing it. I also need some rotted wood replaced as well, so it didn't make sense to do it from the inside.

That was so staged 😂

@Hello Julio how are you doing

Ok

Yes, hard to believe there’s nothing on that ring finger!

@Rollo Larson the whole department?

Rollo Larson You know, she could also be a firefighter.

Me too! I mean, crazy prices for only half of my windows! They wouldn't let me see a sample of what the window was on the quote at Lowes and I am guess it was junk.

Or house could be slightly settling.

Do you have vinyl windows? Some of the less expensive vinyl windows, as I understand from research, can bow over the years and make them hard to shut.

@@jameswalker590 that’s why you lift weights to shut the windows haha
