I love the voice of the first man that made the window boxes. He should be reading audio books.

[@wandagail2564]

My thoughts 😊

[@Kayla-lz6ry]

I can’t stand his voice. Funny how different people’s opinions can be

[@juliasnider5905]

Love all these ideas! Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@user-ni4nl8xn4u]

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@tshaffer9681]

Why did you make drain holes if you covered them with plastic.????

[@tammarastephens3728]

Always gotta have a fail safe

[@LisaCunninghamLieveEnterprises]

Hopefully he went back in to poke some holes in the plastic. 😉

[@craziwomin7130]

Great projects! Thank you. Please show more..

[@robinbriggs5280]

[@debbralehrman5957]

Nice👍🏼

[@robertalordagarcia9992]

How long are th3 cedar planks???

[@marilynboles5083]

I'm so BAFFLED how that little "L" bracket is holding those heavy window boxes and so straight at that? Explain PLEAZZZZZ😊😂

[@probablynot1368]

I wish we could have been shown a side view of how these brackets are leaning on the stuccoed window framing.

[@debmadden4157]

I'm wondering the same.

[@angelatruly]

Very cool project. I have watched this part 3 times. @hometalk please contact creator and get more info. TIA

[@stephaniefoster1964]

Gravity and friction, from the weight? Just a guess; I'm not a physicist, sooo...

[@GoodlyEarth]

He put some small bolts through the holes in the back of the metal frame. I think he forgot to add it to the video.

[@robinbriggs5280]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lynnep6088]

$3 ?? What Home Depot you shopping at??

[@lovingmayberry307]

Shame on this channel for not pointing out that the window boxes are held to the window sill by screws put in the top of the L bracket that then slide right into the GROOVES on the window sill. So if your sills don't have these GROOVES (mine don't), then this project is USELESS!! 👎

[@GoodlyEarth]

There will be other options if you don't have any grooves.

[@lovingmayberry307]

​@@GoodlyEarth Then why not be transparent and show those options?

[@atrailblazergame3524]

Maybe they didn’t think about other types of window sills. The video doesn’t say boxes for all types of windows. Don’t be upset with them for you not doing your due diligence. That’s just SILLy. Shame on them lol. Good golly.

[@thebastardgift]

So very smart! 💯
