ARE HOME DEPOT WINDOWS ANY GOOD?

[@FireflyHill24]

In my opinion a deadbolt on a door that opens outward is totally worthless. But then I don’t like outward opening doors because you can’t put on a storm/screen door. I bought a brand new house and within a week of taking possession I replaced all the outward opening doors with inward opening doors. I’m enjoying your garage build. I’m not much for cars. But you’re doing a really nice job on the build.

[@justin1321]

Kudos to you. This is the modern day equivalent of the American pioneer heading out west - I’ll build a 2000 ft garage on my own, and figure it out on the way. Not many people have the guts to take that leap.

[@maninmotion8090]

And then they end up paying way too much.

[@cleasonleasure4832]

Fill your fence post up with concrete keeps the bees from getting in there. And it’s a lot stronger. And I live in Leander, Texas.

[@sorry_wrong_hole]

2 things. Don't tape the bottom of the windows to allow water to drain or weep. Run foam can between the gaps of the framing and windows/doors. Sick colorado. Wish I would have bought the 2024 instead of a 2022. Still badass!

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Made that mistake on the first window... had to go back and open that up. Good catch 🤙🏽

[@bobbygriffith1429]

Chad…. Brother, don’t tape the bottom of the window at the nailing fin, that creates a dam and will hold water. Tape sides first, then top to seal top,of side window tape. Go back to last year and read the comments… seriously, you need to remove it. Out-swing door…😂 prayers for the families affected, props to you for helping the best you could.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Made the mistake on the first window. Had to go back and open it up 😅

[@MojoKc2244]

My heart goes out to all that were affected in that terrible group of storms. I am glad you all were safe. I am excited to see the final steps coming together. We are wishing you the best of luck.

[@WhiteShadow4689]

Careful with that door that swings out. The hinges are on the outside. If someone wants to break in, they can just pop the pins out of the hinges and take the door off. Thats why exterior doors swing in not out. Hinges are not accessible

[@Natedoc808]

They make blind hinges for exterior outward opening doors to address that problem

[@overlandingturtle8480]

Love this new truck!! That tire though is not my favorite.

[@NWcpl]

We are in a hot area. 300 days of sun a year. We had our windows tinted and it blew our mind how much heat that it cut back. Tint those windows brah!

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Not only a corded router but a bigger one. Glad the tornado missed you. Shop is looking great.

[@2EZSally]

You should consider tinting the windows to help reduce heat even more

[@rixtrix11]

After replacing all the windows in our home with high-E glass, I don't think tint would do much except reduce the amount of light entering the shop. All our windows are cool to the touch and measure within 0.1 degree of the surrounding wall , which is at the ambient temp we have our heat pump set at.

[@Mostxclent1]

In Florida, it is required to install windows with both solar and wind portection. I paid nearly 200 for 30 x 30" windows for my shop.

[@rixtrix11]

Planning on some kind of security grills for the 6' windows? They look like walk-in doors, especially since you post what's inside the shop!

[@ScottyLo]

The weather in Texas would stress me out. Glad you guys had minimal damage.

[@OriginalMomo]

“Don’t hit the glass… don’t hit the glass….” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@jeramye4377]

Curious if you tried using the high output battery in the router?

[@LukedriveitlikearentalRo-ri7tm]

Also for the ac and heat put a small concrete pad on the back side or the left side if you are facing the garage door and small room for the air compressor on the outside in a small room or if you have to have it on the inside put it in a small closet with insulation in the walls to act like sound detection

[@at695mb]

Shop is looking good! Glad you guys were not impacted by the storm and praying for those who were. God bless Texas

[@texZR2]

Amazing progress on the garage. Love the Colorado ZR2 Bison!!! If I was 10ish years younger I would have bought one.. but I really got a smoking deal (62K) for a Silverado ZR2 for about the same price as what the Bison goes for.. so I had to pull the trigger. More room, better engine.. but no 35's

[@kellennordling91]

Watching this series makes me want to build my own garage now

[@Sparky212]

I started watching you just shortly the garage. I am from the Katy, Tx area. I would have framed the rear wall for a future full size garage door. But that is just me. Great job. You are a true DIY KZbin guy.

[@Compactor_08]

You might consider bell-ing the holes for concrete. When we build fences here, we bell the bottom of the hole so that it’s wider and shouldn’t pull out of the ground

[@MM-co9ds]

Where are the skylights? Why are you not allowing for natural lighting?

[@montethompson2966]

the shop looks great. save up money for a new door with the blinds built in. over time the blinds will turn yellow and crack and may break, there is no way to replace the blinds. everything else you have done looks great and very solid

[@Schaubnation]

I'd recommend shadowbox fence if it goes down again, it lets the air get through so it's not as much of a sail in the wind. Glad your damage was minor compared.

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

Yea all these storms past few weeks have been crazy. At least we finally got a break from them.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

This year's been NUTS... happy to see we're about in the clear. Here comes the 100+ weather.

[@thomasbossman]

I would add more windows on the west side of the shop more natural sunlight

[@brian2359]

The problem with an out swing door is that all I need to do is pop the pins out of the hinges since they are on the outside and take the door off and I’ve got total access to your garage

[@superdude1820]

Most hinges have a security dimple/hole on them to keep this from happening.

[@destroyerthewolf]

​@@superdude1820witch can easily be broken

[@tylergreen8782]

I’m glad you’re happy with those Plygem windows from Home Depot. The reason the other windows from companies were way more is that those Home Depot windows with have the gas escape in 1-2 years on average and they aren’t super insulated compared to others. For your shop. It’s perfect but for your home a good high quality vinyl with multiple coats of low e and double glazed double pane with argon and a foam filled frame with a good warranty 1k-1400 per window is the sweet spot including labor.

[@Jerry-ko9pi]

I found an easy way to nail the flange of windows without fear of breaking them. Use some sort of drift pin or something. I used a brass drift pin back when I was framing houses. Something like that works fine, even a bolt. I also suggest putting some sort of coating on the windows if you don't already have some. Lets the light in but not the heat. Maybe automatic blinds in the works?

[@greghovies9685]

glad you an family are safe an didnt sustain any heavy damage.

[@thomashardwick673]

Looking more like a shop now. Can't wait to see the garage door put in.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

The door is MASSIVE 😂 just got delivered... not sure how I'm getting this thing up 10'+ in the air.

[@thomashardwick673]

@LonestarHawaiian I know you will figure it out and can't wait to see the video of it going in.

[@Rtate53]

You should think about some reflective tint for your large windows. Enjoying watching the build!!!

[@jessesager9460]

Glad y’all made it thru that storm ok 🙏🏻. As soon as I seen the power flashes, that was a no doubter! 🌪️

[@houstonastrorider713]

Wider post holes. Keeps em from moving. I learned my lesson.

[@rixtrix11]

Glad you got the windows installed OK. Hoping you have fantastic insurance on the shop, and home, if you can get it in Tornado Alley. I put the 36" in-swing door into my new shop to where it opened over the electrical panel, which code requires a 36" "free" space in front of anyway, so I lost no wall space. Out-swing is great for a secondary man-door! The main difference in window cost is in the frames with composite/wood/fibreglas frames having thermal breaks and lifetime warranties. I did Ply-gem like yours in my shop and installed Anlin brand windows in our home for 1/3 the cost of Anderson and 1/4 the cost of Pella. The glass has exactly the same rating regardless of brand. The Anlin PVC frame is much more rigid than the Ply-gem.

[@scottdm9707]

If you end up keeping that outswing mandoor, they make special hinges with pins that insert into the door to keep the door secure if someone removes the pins in the hinges from the exterior.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks for this! Been wondering what the best option was

[@The_m41lman]

Man, i thought the storm was to close for comfort in Denton... i couldnt imagine being in your shoes. Stay safe and blessed.

[@wesley1983]

Shop wifi? Just wondering what's the plan. Now would be a good time to run any required ethernet. You can do ubiquiti ns-5ac back to the house and have an wifi access point in the shop.

[@legion3314]

Expanding foam for fence posts is an option.

[@keithwaller1734]

[@glennswink7775]

Probably should come up with a support system and lock the gate open when storms come. Just an idea. These storms can drive you crazy.

For the side door that swings out, doesnt that put the hinges on the outside? Couldnt someone just pop out the door hinge pins and gain entry?

Thinking a jigsaw may have worked better than the router, but either way you got it done and it looks great man. Glad y'all made it thru the storms safe. Can't wait for the next video.

[@maddog8911capt]

Just before you said "green sky's, that's not good", that was a power flash. Always look for those when under a tornado warning, its roughly where the tornado is, or where the strong winds are.

[@cameronthompson356]

Glad y’all got through the storms without major damage. I recognize the are you show on the video of the storm damage. We came through the next morning and saw a good bit of carnage. We live in the town just south of you. I enjoy your content…keep up the great work.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Missed us by a 1/4 mile. Fortunate it didn't run through a few miles south of where it did. That would have been really bad with how many residents there are now on the south side of Celina.

For sure! We are on the Prosper, Celina line…frontier rd.

[@tatertx]

Living in Texas myself you never know what the weather might bring. Keep up the great work.

[@Natedoc808]

Narrower router bit cuts better, and just a larger motor. It ends up being faster if you drill pilot holes from the inside, snap a line, grab a circular saw and set the depth and cut the openings. If you need to clean em up a little with a flush cut router bit it’s fast and easy.

If you didn’t know, businesses charge so much for work for example for windows because they get base rate charge 15-30% on that to the customer for all parts then you have to include labor which varies depending on state and company a project like yours in my state new install $5k for alpine clear over clear about $8k for Anderson or Windsor

Make sure you put some sort of rain diverter over the side door. Any rain blowing on that side will go right into the top of it. Front door also if weather tends to blow in from that side. But the side door is super important due to the lack of roof overhang.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

I'll be installing some flashing and trim here soon 🤙🏽

[@cyclicm1622]

@@LonestarHawaiian I get it, but you will need a decent overhang over each door to prevent water intrusion. Best method is a small dormer over each door. You've done great with the sealing so far, keep it up. I'm about 3 hours south of you, so we deal with similar weather patterns here. Basically you want every sheathing opening to have some type of overhang to divert water.
