love those blinds and they function well. Gotta get you a special logo made so when you start your videos your logo can pop up. Brainstorm with your friends and family or I will get a few guys here in MN to help. Also really like how the fast forward nailing off the flange you did a voice over during that ..... that's a good editing process. Cheers man!!! see ya next vid

I think that would be a nice touch. A good intro graphic of some kind. I’ve seen other channels do that. Makes the videos look more official. The voiceover while doing the fast video seems to be a better fit than just playing the fast video. I’m up late at night editing the saying sometimes so if you find a mistake let me know LOL. Stay tuned!

@@TheExcellentLaborer it's all a fantastic learning experience and take it 1 day at a time and don't burn out. Great things coming your way 4 sure. thanks for all the replys tooo

Nice work. God bless you . Yoyr presentation is straight forward and I believe I can see by your demeanor your a kind, honest person.

extra $500 for mini blinds.. 1504921 is $498 without blinds, the same door 1504922 is $998 with blinds. and if you want a screen, it has to be special ordered for around $260 direct from Pella

Thank you Jay. I’m glad I can help you. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Good luck with your project!

You are very welcome. I hope it helps you with your install!

Thanks Craig! Good luck on your project!

How was the install? I also bought one. 96x80

I’m glad I can help. Thanks for watching!

You the man Eric! I love the support. Lord know I need it. I like how you do the timestamps. Very cool!

Glad it helped! Good luck with your project Sunday!

You are welcome! I’m glad I could help!!

Thank you Darrell!

Oh awesome! Glad to hear you are following the progress. Thanks a lot! Stay tuned!

Thanks a lot for watching. A father son relationship no comparison to other relationships. I love construction. Sounds like you do too. Stay tuned!

No problem!

I love the blinds building. It’s the only way to go.

Liquid nail is the absolute worst thing to use on vinyl. I do this everyday as a contractor for the last decade. NP-1 or rainbuster polyurethane would be per manufacturer specs to seal around the fin where a 2-3/4 X 8 screw is required not nails. And on a wooden subfloor I’d never install a door without a recess pan designed specifically for moisture. Tyvek tape wouldn’t pass code it needs a pressure design per code. Also the tyvek would pass over top of the screwed off fin at the top of door to prevent water running downhill not taped over it after it’s screwed off. Don’t pull permits if you’re willing to follow these directions.

I have. Blinds stopped working

Yeah that term would work!

Ok I’m glad you found the answer. Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!

@@TheExcellentLaborer Thank you again!

It’s definitely a solid door. I really like mine so far. For the price I don’t think you can go wrong. Yes weather should be fine against the door. Hope that helps!

@@TheExcellentLaborer that’s great to hear! I got mine for $319 minus delivery and taxes but still a great deal. Also, I noticed it has a header but not like a usual window header- is that normal?

Would seem like the manufacture’s warranty would be nullified without a sill pan or flashing.

Until you spray it with a garden hose

Standard practices still apply roof or not. It's an opening into the structure and should be treated same for all windows and doors. Otherwise it's sloppy work.

Then why say anything

You could use silicone. I like how hard liquid nails sets up. Thanks for watching!

@@TheExcellentLaborer Something that sets up firm also acts as a mortar, and supports the door frame, reducing movement from traffic. In the event the door needs to be removed, silicone might be too adhesive, causing a lot of unnecessary damage in the process.

I bought a Pella door and the are taking it back to remove the nail flange from the bottom since it will be installed on a slab. You then drive screws through the sill. How did you install yours ?

We ended up and removed the flange on the bottom. Then used liquid nail heavy duty for the bottom which also worked as a sealer. Nailed the flange around the sides! Basically just like shown in the video! It’s perfect!

Oh and is not. Inside with blinds must be on the interior. Good question though!

What handedness was this door?

@@TheSwordAXE the door can be ordered as either Left or Right handed.

I actually ordered and just received a 150 series 96x80 no blinds. It's marketed as reversible/universal. You can configure it any way you like. It comes with instructions to do so. The different ways involve removing the panel(s) and flipping the frame top to bottom and removing the track and relocating it from bottom to top before flipping or top to bottom after prior to reinstalling the panel(s). Then reinstalling the handle as needed as well as the latch potentially if your combination of repositioning causes it to be upside down and or backwards. Again this is with the no blinds version. And the instructions to do so are provided with the door. Not able to order as left or right. Its just universal and you can bet it will likely be opposite of how you'd like to install it. But definitely doable. I can't speak for the blinds version but I feel like it would work similarly but perhaps not. Pella does have instructions also on there website but they seem to be generic and referencing another model. But looking at my instructions for the 150 and comparing them to the online instructions. It's the exact same process.

@@ericinalaska7648 Thank you for this information. i just purchased this 150 series door without the blinds and i need to reverse the door. so glad its doable.

A 72x80 vinyl 250 double sliding door from pella actual size is 71.5”x79.5”. So the rough opening is recommended to be 72”x80”. You want to have at least a half inch bigger rough opening then the width and height of the frame size. Also the door shown installed does not meet u factor and would not pass code in the Chicago area. So check what the minimum u factor is in your area.

@@rodrigoarreguin9865 thanks for the info, if you don’t mind, why this door doesn’t meet the U factor?

@@macrapidito1 it does not meet u factor because of the blinds between the glass.

@@rodrigoarreguin9865 thanks again, I found your answers not only helpful to me but to others too. Keep it up! Thanks again.

Yes there is key lock mechanism. They should have said that on the box. I’m not sure if they do or not. Thanks for watching!

Yes it’s common practice

Good luck to the person who has to someday replace that door with it being liquid nailed to the subfloor.

@@tomkiz1892 Boo-Yaa!!!!

Yes I did. Good bang for the buck.

This header is made out of two 2 x 12. The length is 3 inches longer than the width of the door. I hope that helps!

I’m glad you like the video Jay! Good luck on your door install. Let me know how it goes!

It’s under a roof. If it was not covered I would. Thanks for watching!
