How to Replace a Basement Window

[@dschroeder144]

I'm installing two basement windows at my daughter's house tomorrow. This was exactly what I needed to have the confidence I needed. I can sleep well. Thank you.

Thanks brother for your hard work, we know you getting better every day remember to be safely first at every project, be safe 👍

Brilliant video. It’s exactly what I had to do today with one window in our basement. Now I have tools and the knowledge to complete it properly. Thank you! 😃👍

[@mainetripper]

Just about ready to tackle two old wooden windows in the basement. Thanks for the straight to the point video man. Well done!

[@jeffwarner5435]

I have four of them to replace soon your video answered all my questions. Thanks and keep them coming.

I can’t imagine what the hearts of the people who gave this video a thumb down are for such a useful clip like this one. Good job brother. Keep up good work

[@johnbabu3640]

Very detailed methodical work and description

[@NotYourAverageMom1972]

Nice!!!! You made it seem soooo easy!!! Easy enough that gives me confidence to try doing mine!! Great job!!

[@wtfvideos3957]

Are you cutting the shims or lraving them in place? Or removing them altogether??

[@DennaoBrasa]

How much do you charge per window?

[@brentk9520]

what was the dimension of the new window and where did you purchase it?

[@BustedLeaf]

Good instructions but. Did you drill screws into concrete or you drilled holes first?

[@RocketMan200]

Excellent video. No BS....to the point. You make it look very easy. What type of screws did you use, and did you drill into wood or concrete.

[@maintenancemadesimple4429]

I just used 1-5/8” dry wall screws because it’s interior. I drilled into the top plate and the rest is secured with shims and the spray foam!

[@houceonfire]

Maintenance Made Simple what would you do if the top was also concrete? Just fill with foam without screwing it in?

[@ChadAmI80]

Thanks for the video. When you measured for your window, how big was the rough opening and what size window did you get? Did you special order them?

[@atarileaf]

The general rule is subtract an inch from your rough opening so a 20" x 20" opening would require a 19" x 19" window

[@confidential2497]

Do you pull out the shims after foam is dry, and fill the gaps with more foam?

[@szargos]

You score the shims and break them, leaving them in there.

[@IanB28]

Great video bro!

[@luistello1971]

First of all thanks for the video, well done. In your experience, what is the pro and cons of sealing with caulk, Dynaflex 230, as oppose to putting a skin coat cement?

[@Zharsergey]

Is brick mould necessary for exterior?

[@sundog9999]

did you foam the top of the window from the inside too? In the last part of the clip, it looks like it didn't have foam - just had the shims in place.

[@ajramos007able]

Where do you order your windows?

[@richiespeed3565]

good video kid very well done

[@InthelifeofDanellejam]

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by my channel. I am #287 😀 great job!

[@bymariesc]

Your channel is very helpful 💕

[@ptahhraa2715]

Nice

[@pumpitdumpit]

Cool

[@thomasdavisiii1]

Use mortar instead of expanding foam

[@angelsobrino8873]

Keep the turorials coming

[@c50ge]

Throw you demo materials out the window so you don’t have to pick them up twice.

[@user-io4jl4jx9q]

bro, how 'bout some anchors into the sides and bottom of the window? 2 up top and a can of foam is a joke and is NOT secure.

[@sethdetwiler2945]

What he did is enough for that size of window

[@chrisgrant3939]

Screwing the window to the concrete can cause the window to crack due to expansion

[@elfiero50]

When you stand on the other side of the room, we have to turn the volume all the way up to hear you. When you turn away and talk, no one can hear what you are saying.

[@maintenancemadesimple4429]

Thank you for your feedback! I will work on that.

[@theguyintheback4714]

soooo.... that's how that gets installed

[@SamElle]

hahaha i would just make my friend or dad do it for meee

[@user-yn6vx9qf9y]

Awesome video

[@ramaporiver803]

Yikes.......take the battery out before touching the blade

[@robertorivera1156]

Next time take the battery out of the tool before you change the blade😬
