Wow, the porch blew off!

There is a white piece of plastic in the latch that needs to be removed to make the door operate properly. Its put there to prevent damage during shipping. They used to use tape, but I guess they like this better, but never updated the documentation. You can even see it is there at 46:40. 2 seconds with a flathead and your door will work properly.

Greg’s “ok” when installing the door was hilarious.

The black and white flashback to Greg removing the window strap made me lol

20:51 "From the windoooow, to the waaalll"

Kyle and Greg do awesome work and I've learned a lot from them.

21:52 missed opportunity to call it Fentrum Silver

"Anderson" doors and windows are very good quality and have that unique closing latch on the doors. They have used that for many years. It's odd until you get used to it.

The hump in the concrete under the door , will haunt your dreams forever, or not ! Enjoyed the video as always !

Good luck to you with Anderson windows. I have them on my house along with a sliding patio door. They are horrible. Will never use Anderson again. When I built the house we had to have a tech come out to seal the drafts in the windows 3 separate times. Didn't do much so I need to put plastic on every winter.

@2:06..Fiefdom is the correct word Gregory ..from now on call Kyle "My Lord" The building looks incredible, great job as always, the porch really sets it off.

Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hi Kyle and Greg (@RRbuildings) the engineering fluff on the sticker is how much sunlight comes through the panel. Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) how much thermal heat is transmitted through the window into the house. Ideally you want less in the summer (keep the insider cooler) and more in the winter (reduce heating costs). The value gives you the average value per area of window based on the glass, frame and insulation material. And visible transmittance is how much sunlight comes through. Your windows are top quality products which I imagine is reflected in the price.

Amazing that it took only two great minds to follow printed instructions. 👍👍👍

Setting the door would have been a lot easier if you just grinded the hump out in the beginning. That way you have solid contact throughout the entire threshold. Otherwise if you don’t want to grind out the hump, you can install ice and barrier in 6” increments and use those as your “shims” until it’s perfectly level. Hope this helps😁

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 The bugle in the doorway on the concrete to the door is a fantastic idea way to go 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Clint just keep up the great videos cheers bud

I’m a locksmith and all of those multipoint locks I’ve seen have a latch to hold the door shut. Are you sure there’s not a plastic cap on the edge of the door holding the latch in? A lot of them Also have a small plastic cap holding another tab in . If the small tab is out the dead bolt won’t extend. When you close the door the strike plate pushes the small tab in so the deadbolt will operate. That is to keep someone from extending the deadbolt then slamming the door and damaging the lock. Those locks give a lot of trouble if the door is not aligned very well and people get tough with them trying to extend the multipoint function.

Greg obviously has the patience of a saint.

the Princess bride is the GOAT!

Sawdust can kill. Spontaneous combustion!

Look on the door at the latch and see if you find a plastic piece wedged into the latching mechanism. If so, that piece needs to be taken out and then the door should actually latch! The door is definitely designed to latch. Pulling up engages all the other points of the door. Its a sweet door.

Man o man.....you drive me NUTS!!!! And by the look on Greg's face many times, I'm sure he feels the same way.

I’m looking forward to seeing how you build out the interior.

Looking good.

The butyl tape on the door sill will do a great job of keeping out insects as well as moisture and drafts. Good idea!

You most definitely need to space your sheathing, especially when using the nine or ten foot OSB. Great stuff Kyle and Greg. Keep it up!

You do some awesome work, I would love to see you guys where harnesses in the lift those things are giant catapults! Be safe, brother Local 1016

Man I do like that tape!!! Thx for that one.

For the U factor, it is very simple. 1 / 0.27 (your U factor) = 3.703 So this the R-Value of your windows R3. Normally, triple glaze goes to R6. The solor heat gain is a pellicule on the glass that block the heat. You can choose wich side of the glass you want it and depending on the side, this pellicule will block more or less heat.

You could just grind the hump out of the middle. I've done that a couple of times to get a entryway level. I have used concrete sealant in all the entryways also. I've used a ramped jam if there's an inch or so step up through the doorway.

From the windooooooo to the wall!

I hate that door looks to much like a window 😅 that's just me but amazing work guys 👏

You should have taken a grinder and ground down the hump. Like you said it's a garage but I think with movement and use of the door over time you may develop operational issues.

As I watch how hard you work to seal every possible leak of water and air on this building...when I see the big houses in the background, NOT shops, I think to myself those buildings don't have HALF the care and consideration into them as this "simple shop"...LOL

When you do your air test it's all gonna be garage door draft. But still that's really good.

Was this a test to see if we really watch? Kinda backwards on the videos from last and today..lol

Someone else beat me to the joke. No joke, that’s one saweet dream shop, Kyle & Greg. Awesome job. Now drop a front porch (and maybe a secret back hot tub) on it, and voilà: Shop Heaven!

That’s a nice looking door! Great job and I don’t care that the video is out of order. 😂 Too bad it’s not April 1st, you could tell people you had to remove the porch because you forgot to put the windows and door in first, lol.

The porch is gone! Good thing the window opening wasn't a 1/2" too small. Who makes the pencil you use? Things are looking real nice.

I really prefer (and will only have) casement outswing windows!!!

@RRBuildings What size is the gap between the rough opening and the windows/doors? Looks like 3/8"ish on each side? These video's really help out a lot. Good on you for taking such pride in your work. I'm learning a ton, so thank you for the content you provide.

Love the Sasco products. Or alteast the Lexel I use to seal chimney flashing. They have a sample kit?

SHGC is a metric of energy transference while the visible transmittance is the percentage of light that’s allowed through the panes with their various films and other filters.

KYLE, foam knee boards in lift for windows and standing

Saw dust has never killed anyone QUICKLY

There is a JLG kit called a SKYGLAZIER that attaches to the boom so you can set windows and glass panels (or whatever) on a support outside of the lift. Check it out for the next one.

Why was the porch build before this? Whocares I guess. The rod part had me going lol. looking good guys!😊

I know what you mean about the latch not automatically closing. My Andersen storm door is like that.

Kinda new here but I Love your videos.What’s your top 5 tips to be successful in your business? I’m Thinking about going out on my own within a couple years.

Back to the future episode!

You can't go wrong with Anderson windows. Anderson has a factory in Menomonie, Wi. just 14 miles from me.

3rd time's a charm. Why does it seem like that door is short?

IMO Casement tend to rot faster than DBL hung windows. Been replacing older windows for 20+ years. :)

Love the content, don't mean to sound picky, but why not sit the window in 2 inches off the sheathing and use the flange to guide your caulking gun around behind the flange then just push in the last 2"?

Kyle, I feel like you could just use painter's tape to secure the flaps of siga tape to the window pane while you transport and install the window... free up a pair of hands 🤷

Should have gone with Marvin door... it does have a catch and 2 opposite vertical rods.

Finally I’m first to like a video 😊

Our American doors are still pretty much crap, imo. In my (almost) passive house house I installed European tilt turn windows along with the manufacturer's doors too and the doors were like a bank safe, like zero air infiltration. And nobody knew how to use them. lol And I love all things Siga. I don't want to know how much I spent for all the different tapes but the one for the windows with the two separate strips for peeling off is really useful and ingenious. I didn't install Fentrim with the windows, I waited until after any gaps were filled in with foam, then I installed the tape.

I swear I just saw your picture on a Home Depot ad on Reddit.

I get you trying to go cost friendly, but using Anderson windows when you are using the best of the best for the rest of the build, go with Marvin man. I promise you won’t be having to spend time putting on jam extensions

Coffee and sawdust. A craftsman's curse. Especially if they are in the same cup.

I regretted using Anderson double hung windows After having them for ten years some lowers started to rot in the bottom right corner. Anderson would only provide replacements for the rotting ones, they wouldn’t install them. A few years later and the remaining had to be replaced, and yes I had to do it Fast forward 10 years, windows with full morning sun would break just the outside glass, very odd because it was a circular hole I hope you have better luck

Are those I joists above on 12" centers? Man really tight.

Like the dark hardware but, I have the same. You have to be very careful using the key. Mine has scratched and looks terrible. Should have gone with the stainless.

I didn’t see the door get caulked on the nailing fin. Like the windows.

Wow no porch must have been a dream.

to the window!!!!! to the wall!!!!!!

I enjoy all of the videos but I only clicked like and commented to get this to 10k so that we can see a princess bride reaction live stream.

With the hinges back in the door jamb so far, what will keep the door from being swung open to far and hitting the door against the trim?

I think if you lever down it will make the handle latch normal ...... Then up is the upper and lower latches and you can turn the dead bolt if I remember correctly

Porch just evaporated into thin air

Also would something like thinset, or leveling compound be worth the effort? Just for like under the sil to get a perfectly level threshold?

Is it worth it to use some LVL boards for the doorways to avoid the issues with cupping and shimming madness?

Easiest door handle you’ve ever installed because Greg installed it! Lol

Greg needs to learn the term “tocayo”, (toe-ki-yo). It means someone who shares your name. My name is Greg. Anyway, I look forward to your videos because not only are you a well-above-average builder with ethics, but you are also educational and entertaining. I am glad that Tocayo has been mic’d up for the recent past. His insights are ‘deep’.

Have you considered grinding the concrete prior to door installation to make sure its "perfectly flat"?

35:56 the shims can get avoided if you use top stars made by grk they shim themselves as you tighten and loosen

The Princess Bride is an Excellent Movie! NOT Watching It Is..... INCONCEIVABLE!!! Quality Sells Itself All Day Long! ☮️

bro you're going to get 10k likes and you better watch that movie :'D

RE: sawdust... I remember hearing about a couple building a house (probably in the 70s or 80s) and both got extremely sick from the sawdust from the pressure treated lumber they were using. I'm pretty sure the chemicals have since been changed.

How's it going My friend

1/u factor is your r value for windows. SGHC(solar heat gain coefficient) is faction of how much heat is going to be gained by your interior space.

What happened to the porch you just built?

Solar heat gain is calculated on which way the window is facing which while under direct sun light. How much does the buildings overall temperature change during both summer and winter since the sun also is lower in the winter and higher in the summer

Aye not bad I suppose 😊

Wondering what is the cost of all the sealing products used on one window or door?

The seals being on the door will catch on crap you are trying to bring into the building. Just FYI.

On the info sticker of the windows. with glass the lower the value , the better the thermal insulation is . on glas they use the Solar heat gain coefficiënt, but see it as the R value of your wall insulation. in comparison, if you would take the thickness from your wall insulation and devide that with the lambda value of that insulation , you get the R value. the only difference between the two is that the way they calculate the glass is based off heat travel per m2 per W/m2K Watt/square meter Kelvin , or maybe Fahrenheit per sqeare feet on your sticker. but in essence it means how much temperature you gain [summer] or loose [winter] per degree per m2 ,thats why lower is better. and with insulation its based off resistence from the material itself, so how fast can heat and cold travel thru the material. hope this makes sense.

I have never heard of someone dying from "Man Glitter," but I imagine it has happened in some manner!

You shoulve ground down the concrete 29:38 😂

Face seal on door depends ona FLAT DOOR.. edge seal depends on square fits on all ddges... Hmmm

Through the roof sashco link?

Not found of the door handle having to lift it up so it latches. Other than that, looks great

Here is a simple explanation of the U value on these windows : The best, high-performance, double-pane windows may have a U-factor of 0.30 or lower, indicating that they are very energy-efficient. Some triple-pane windows may have a U-factor as low as 0.15.

I know one thing if you ever do have to fix anything good luck getting to it 😅

How many days did it take to install that door?

I am trying to learn. I know ... not a lot about construction. Like.. Why do you put on jam extentions? Is the window too small? A little explanation goes a long way for me 😅

"From the window to the wall" you know what comes next
