@@dtm8073 lol! i was thinking i was the only one to notice this. i watched him build his son a patio/shed thing a few videos back. he kept going on and on about flood protection, keeping moisture out of the wood, keeping the thing off the ground, etc etc... then proceeds to just build on top of the grass, basically saying "ehhh who cares" lol. then, he had bought these little pre-built concrete blocks that are specifically designed to set a 2x6 into, with a square pole in the middle, nail them all together, you're good to go. easy peasy. does he do that? absolutely not. he put the poles on the outside edges of these blocks, making them almost useless. they were flush with the ground, so the wood joists were literally laying in the grass. i give it a month before they're rotting from the bottom. then, back to this video here... he went on and on about the weather proofing for these windows, and how he'd have done it differently. then, he proceeds to just place a window in (after dropping it once of course), and just nailing it back in, no caulk, no silicone, nothing. even after he made it clear that because of the way it was built previously, that silicone is necessary to keep the water out. i mean, i really can't tell if he's just trolling or , honestly i don't even know.

The “putty” is “Butyl Tape”. This product has been used with travel trailers for decades. One of my vintage camper…..1950’s …. Has butyl tape that’s still soft and still waterproofing my windows through today. Of course while doing renovations I removed and re-applied the exact same butyl tape to reseal. It works. So 45 years around a stationary mobile home is a good choice to prevent water penetration ….

Nice when the window flange is not buried under stucco or siding like that! For sure it is folly to just call up some 'window company' and they send around a salesman to shock you out of your boots with insane prices. I had Andersen come in and quote me $22k for 7 windows! That's $3k per window! nuts. I ended up doing custom made renovation-flange windows myself for about $700 a piece (lots of polyurethane of course, came with black finish I paid extra for). It was not difficult and did not have to break the stucco. I will change two most with off the shelf Jedwens for $270 a piece (break stucco, enlarged vertically, more flashing and sealing work)

I'm sure you realized this now but that vinyl siding was installed on top of the original corrugated aluminum. People do that because it looks better. We just did one near Bradenton with vinyl siding that looks like cedar shakes and it looks terrific, very cozy looking. We actually demoed all the exterior walls and reframed like a house. Our scrap guy loved us for all the aluminum we gave him.
@pat6703 4 ай бұрын
So by reframing all the exterior walls, were you able to have your home insurance change your house from a manufactured house to a stick-built house? Did your insurance go down significantly? Where can I learn more about how to do that? I’m paying like $5,000 for my home insurance and I’m in The Villages, FL which is central part of the state.
@maddierosemusic 4 ай бұрын
@@pat6703 We don't pay insurance for this house, it would be too expensive and we own it free and clear. If you have a mortgage you need insurance. $5k seems super high for the VIllages area. I'd shop around. Doing what we did with a permit would be super expensive, but if you just install a "permanent foundation" under your manufactured house, that changes the nature of it a lot and wouldn't be too expensive. Ask your agent if that would help.

You should put the torpedo level at the sill. The sash can be out of square to the frame. Theres play between the sash and frame so it can slide up and down. Better yet use a laser level a torpedp level isnt accurate. Before placing the window in the opening you can caulk shims onto the sill at the edges and every 12 inches and verify that they are level with each other. When you place your window in you know its level off the bat.
@ronaldchevalier9804 Жыл бұрын
Having grown up and worked on many mobile homes of that age, what you are calling a corrugated weathering system under the siding is not. That is the original exterior shell of the home. That final siding and window cover what added later, perhaps 1990s. ‘70 and early ‘80 exterior were that patterned aluminum exterior that is inside your walls. That also adds to the number of nails and adhesives used.

There’s no real need to use the nailing flange on a replacement window. You can usually pop or cut the nail flanges off and just install the windows as a pocket replacement provided your rough opening is framed out properly. Even when it isn’t, I prefer to frame out the opening to fit the window rather than have to pull all the J channel and siding to be able to nail the fin flanges down. Ultimately window flashing tape, foam and caulking will seal it all up perfectly.

I own a 90s manufactured home and intend to do some budget remodeling in the coming years. Windows are definitely on my to-do list, so thanks for the video. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this series. It's probably been addresses later in the video (you just removed second window at this point) or series, but it looks to me like you have two layers of siding there. The original siding with the vertical ridges, then the vinyl siding applied over that. I don't know what's under the siding on mine and have been considering removing the siding and checking it out when it comes time to do the windows. Did have siding on one end pulled where the split is to fix poor installation and didn't appear to be much protection or insulation under there, so might actually be worth pulling to beef up insulation and protection.

Subjective, either way, the vinyl frame and dual pane glass with the low e (tint) on the new windows will improve the energy efficiency and weather proofing of the house 10 fold over the old single pane, aluminum windows. I’ve replaced many windows in these manufactured homes with vinyl and the customer is always very happy when they notice the reduction in sound from outside, the house is cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, their energy bills decrease significantly, and they don’t get dust coming in from outside anymore because the house is properly weather proofed thanks to the new vinyl windows (and doors where applicable)

I'm hoping my old steel windows will come out as easily. They are from 20s or 30s I think and some of them won't even open much less be able to move the bottom half. Gonna be real fun figuring out how to get those out. My J-tri goes right to the metal edge of the window so I don't know if there will be any way to get behind it from the outside, but we'll see. Can't remember if my windows came with the nailing flange or not. I suppose worst case we could remove the trim. Trim above the window looks identical to stuff on the sides so I don't think there was any sort of flashing to divert water away. Pretty sure the windows I got for my house are deeper than the ones designed for mobile homes. They aren't very heavy though so that is a plus. Double pane with argon and hopefully they won't be difficult to install. Hoping to install them from the inside so I won't have to be on a ladder for lifting and setting in to place, but we'll see. What was the specific name of the window putty stuff? I'm wondering if it will work for my windows when I install them. Butyl window sealing tape? My windows are smaller but a light higher from the outside so getting up to them will suck, but needs to be done. What do you do if the house itself is not level? Say over the years it started to slope. Do you just follow the natural slope of the house when installing windows so they don't look weird from the outside? Or do you try to keep them level? The birds look like the type that follow my cows around and sometimes ride the cows. Twice we had bees that somehow got into the attic and built hives right over my parents' bedroom. In Virginia there was honey dripping from the ceiling above their bed and when my father went to see what was going on, there was a 60lb hive close to falling through the ceiling.

With your guidance and encouragement I am tempted to at least consider replacing 5 windows which were not replaced with vinyl before we moved in. Not sure why they replaced 5 and not the rest

Im jealous Jeff you had it ezy lol. I ended up removed my putty or silicone with a grinder cuz it was so hard i couldn't get the j Chanel apart. highly recommend taping the windows first. My windows came out with a fite cuz thay where stapled 😅 almost no screws and yes i did brake one. I couldn't find the siz of windows i need unless i custom ordered for $500 a window. Ya not doing that. My windows siz was 46/54 versus Jeff's 30/53 windows. (So normally 30 inche wid windows are the most standard siz) I resized my windows to a 36/54 which was fund at Minards. Now i have to trim around the windows or move the shutters in to close the gap. And repaint the vinyl siding cuz now there's dark spots where the shutters where. Maybe i can just bleach it. Lol The new windows are awesome still need to figure out my trim. I also have 3 different window sizes. The tap i used was flashing tape. The price on the window i got was 190$ +tax. Ill be putting together a tutorial potentially. For anyone needing more help. There aren't many hole sellers neer me selling vinyl unless i shipped it. Clearly resized windows where the best option.

I always kinda liked the nostalgic look of awnings. I'm in the minority in thinking some old things look cool.

I wanted to see a video about the sub floor, I read once where the person who bought manufactured homes would first gut then lay 1/2" sub floor over the particle board that disintegrates when it gets wet. They didn't remove it, then lay. Thoughts?

When I did a window in my old trailer the exterior wall was thin sheet of metal and nothing else directly behind it was the insulation. It was built in 1988 and was garbage

Jeff, I was taught to not seal the bottom of the window, that way any moisture that is in there can escape. I see that you added putty tape to the bottom of yours. Curious as to your thoughts as you have enlightened this DIYer on many things.

I am more concerned about wind driven rain than the odd drop that gets behind. this house is on a/c all year round and any moisture will dry to the inside. I just don't want the sill to get wet and go to mold.

You can seal bottom but should leave 3 voids for water to drain out one each at ends and one at center. You should also put a sill pan under your window so if there is wind driven rain it doesn't get past your pan.

I like the installation part of the video, but the windows didn't have any insulation attached to the sides, tops and bottoms and I was wondering why. When we replaced our windows, they came with foam insulation around the whole window to add insulation to them even though they were double pane with gas insulation as well. I would think that would be better in such a hot area. I mean this to be an honest question. You really do have ALOT of patience to get through all of this. We are in Illinois and our hardware stores have boxes of tape too!! Thanks!

we just spray foam later if needed. in a southern climate it is less of an issue.
