Teresa didn’t know it was going to take all day for one window! 😅

[@danervin2530]

Tip for 20 year old dried out caulk: Heat gun. Most efficient and cleanest way to get everything.

[@MikeSmith-qj2ys]

They make actual replacement windows specifically for brick houses eliminating the need to add wood the window frame.

[@lambrinos]

@1:55 some interesting dialog

[@blakefrazer5264]

Lol

[@kimdickerson2938]

Most useful video I've found - AND the most concise! Thank you!!!!

[@andzoa911]

This was the best window installation video I have watched and I've watched lots. Thank you!!! I feel much better about reinstalling my own windows.

[@markh.6687]

So you like watching people through windows, eh? :) :)

[@vizioasdf]

Been searching for a video like this for the longest time and I gave up shortly before this video was posted. Thank you, now I'm going to attempt to replace my windows in the spring.

Guy is a simp for this chick 🙄🙄🙄

[@pjandbmx]

$300? This must be from 1988. A wood framed window will NOT be $300 now, more like $ 600 or more + accessories (screen, sash locks, etc). Closer to $700 or $800 with a few simple options. Maybe a date at the end would be helpful so someone doesn't think these are today's prices. Fairly good video otherwise.

[@vapeurdepisse]

Double the price every year. That’s the trump/Biden economy for you

[@ThePTBRULES]

​@@vapeurdepisseGod, it would be better with Trump back, no matter how imperfect.

[@gunpowdergurlz9434]

unfortunately the brickwork moved when he first started pulling the wood on the left side.

[@markh.6687]

Nice video. Wonder how you'd do it in a true brick home (two layers of brick or brick and cinderblock).

[@MoranGuyVideos]

Great! These old videos nice

[@DiceDecides]

cant u just reseal the old window's edges? sounds easier

[@yourvidia5815]

What year was ?

[@allaces14400]

$300 for a clad wood DH, with its own jamb, plus trim? Where is this guy shopping?

[@nathan5270]

I know how to install but y doing that foam no one does thats awesome then calked nailed the trim the caulked again. Legit!

[@NEAVINCAPE07]

Brick is porous, and now there is no longer a moisture barrier seal around the window flange. Won't moisture make its way into the home due to lack of moisture barrier tape?

[@jamesrobinson8428]

In North America to my knowledge it isn't actually code to put in the blue moisture barrier tape. Although I know guys who do it anyway.

[@infotechsailor]

There's an air gap between brick and the zip board/window flange. Moisture won't get in thru the brick pores. Maybe thru any seal gaps. Just cualk the hell out of it.

[@CHDean]

@@infotechsailor…and foam insulation

[@keithwhite8005]

Love what you are doing, but i have bought Pella windows for years on my job's, so i put them on my new house and low and behold they failed my door's that is,called them told them the problem, they new it was a bad lot. But i had them for 9 years, they ask if i had the receipt when i bought them! Of course i did not would not replace, the doors are slowly decomposing, i know aluminum doors who would have thought 🤔 why would a company do that? I will say again they knew it was a bad lot hell it's on them why not replace?

[@PP-gy8gg]

What's with the Tour Bus.... is Ron playing bass in motley Crue

[@DaveWesely]

Couple big mistakes here - a broken seal on the glass is not a good reason in itself to replace an entire window. Glass replacement is much easier and cheaper. The other mistake is using fiberglass insulation "to stop drafts". Fiberglass insulation does not prevent air flow, it only filters it. So if the exterior caulking/foam didn't seal the window perimeter, the fiberglass won't help.

[@cdhata32]

Then what would you do instead of this installation method

[@DaveWesely]

@@cdhata32 caulk, foam tube caulk backer, and primarily window/door polyurethane expansion foam.

[@keitha5188]

she might want to replace that old air conditioner next!!!

[@markh.6687]

I've got 30 years on an American Standard R-22 system; last AC tech I had out for service (leaking system service valve replaced) said 15 years tops for most makes nowadays. All the quality and added margin for reliability have been removed or cut so thin so the CEOs can make their bonuses.

[@TheJimmyBuffalo]

Love Ron and everything he posts but this video should be removed and replaced with an updated version. The prices they talked about are dated, and the window they installed (Pella ProLine) was the source of a $100,000,000 class action for poor window construction and misrepresentation.

[@PP-gy8gg]

Yikes

[@sdott313]

good informative video

[@zmezgar2387]

yes the best. and yet i feel like i would still eff it up. smh

What about flashing on top?

[@GY6SCOOTERCHAT]

Husband just lets his wife work all day with the window guy?

[@markh.6687]

The husband might be 'working', a quaint concept but often true. And maybe he's as handy as a drunk 3-year old, so decided to let her have all the fun.

[@carloscamacho9701]

jus make the reveal good jeez!

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

Have 2 original windows in master bedroom and bathroom. Brick surrounds two sides of each window. Termite damage is extensive.

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

Having to rebuild both walls in the master bedroom and half bath. Haven't even gotten to rebuilding the two rough openings yet. All the framing must be done first before I start opening up the room to the outside. Have temporary support walls up.

[@SammyEddie]

@@christopherdekonstrukt444that sounds a little bit like a nightmare.

Awesome video

[@danceswithcomicbooks7733]

Depending on the age of the window shouldn't that caulking have been tested for asbestos?

[@markh.6687]

Sure, if you want to turn a window replacement into a major job. Then if you find it, you have to hire asbestos-removal certified contractors. You have to have long-term exposure to asbestos for a health issue, the tiny amount involved here and short-duration exposure isn't a problem. But, here's the rub: if you are a 'professional' you are bound by the Federal and State rules for asbestos mitigation or removal, including certification.

@@markh.6687 it's called doingthe right thing. So yeah they should do what the law says.
