Installing a Feather River Fiberglass Exterior Door - Did I Ruin This Door Too?

[@peep39]

I am doing a 2x6 reno and I also bought a door like that from HD. I knew they don't carry 2x6 doors in stock so I thought to look ahead if they had the jamb extension. And it said they had one - took me like 20 minutes to find it. And it wasn't quite right. So after like 10 more minutes, I found another one buried behind a bunch of debris! So I lucked out that day.

[@thelostarchivesserialvault5353]

The rookie is not as much a rookie anymore. Glad you listened to us. If you can subset the screws on the other door then you can just putty over them and its done.

[@selador11]

In that gap where you used the sawzall to cut off the plastic piece that was keeping the door in place... Cut a piece of wood to fit in there snugly. It has to reach from below the door knob, to above the deadbolt. Now remove the screws from the striker plates on bot. One at a time. And replace them with 3 inch long screws. Door will now be super difficult to kick in.

Good morning from Indonedia. My name is Fery, I always followed your video. Have nice day in America with your family activities.

[@GunrunnersFirearms1]

Nice shirt. Your part of the Demolitia!!! Awesome

[@ArtByCater]

Cool video very informative, I liked your threshold pan idea, but would have like to seen you tape from the inside of the left & right side up the rough 2x6 opening, for extra water protection. Great team work getting it done. Thanks Chuck

[@karimmak7423]

Hi Martin we miss your vlogs ,we need some more with this lockdown thank you ❤️🇩🇿👍🏻

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Okay. I’ll try not to be late.

[@patrickmoore1602]

Great Shirt! Two of my favorite Utube channels! Yours of course, and Demo Ranch. Keep up the great work , Martian an family!

[@John-jl3ky]

I’m in construction, that’s very satisfying work, as long as everything goes well LOL

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

So true.

[@jamesgoodman6243]

That's exactly right about installing plastic over all walls over the insulation. THATS WHY ITS CALLED "VAPOR BARRIER".

[@i-am-nem]

I had no doubts about the plastic sir. Its obvious that you think everything through.

[@JourneyOnLife]

Pretty door. Love the color and window on it. : )

[@dper1112]

Ah, when you took the sawzall to the plastic piece, that was a good laugh. And then when you showed us the old door, that's all in good fun, too. Cool work, both on your house and the upcoming fence!

[@LittleHouseOffGrid]

Thank, getting ready to build our walls and this video came at the perfect time

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Great. I’m glad it helped.

[@Mirthful_Warrior]

The door pan should have weather seal tape on the sides connecting it to the rough door opening so if water runs down the inside door opening it won’t run under or behind the pan. It should also have one bead of caulk down the top back of the pan not all over the whole pan otherwise it defeats the purpose and water can’t run out the front. I’m sure it will be fine but the way it was done the pan serves no purpose.

[@ewidmer1]

You always do a great job. Can’t wait for the roof

[@at347est]

Making the viewers nervous again .But a great relief when it was done .

[@johnminor2496]

Great job. What a wonderful experience, a Christian family working together building a home and many happy memories. Thank you LORD JESUS.

[@RecklessTheory]

excellent install on that door!! the only thing I would of done different is the stairs should have three sections of support as you will find the sun, water and just stepping on it will eventually wear it out. It will work for probably a decade or more as is but with 3 you will get a very very long time out of it. Also I would of used composite decking on steps so long as you had 3 supports (as it flexes a little more but is more resistant to water and snow and and everything else.) It's a small area and it would of been cheap enough and outlast any other method.

[@NorthRunner64]

Advice is good, but you don't need our advice. Doing a great job, pleasure to see you progress.

I like the bungy strap on the saw guard. I will use this

Works good when you need it. Safety Sally doesn’t like it though.

[@stickyfox]

If you put the screws behind the weatherstrip, they won't be in wood unless you have built a solid jamb around it. It's just PVC. Stick some putty over it.

[@sembiringmangasi6690]

[@theycallmebacon5692]

I always replace the hinge screws and the door latch screws with longer and stronger screws. I doubt y'all have to worry about that in your area but you never know.

[@Kingsleykrewvlogs]

Honestly.. I think I'm far more excited about this door than I should be. Lol. Looks so great !!!! I really love the profile you guys chose. Ps. Please send my hubby the memo you recieved 're getting clean shaven. He sadly seems to hv misplaced his copy. See our last vlog... I'm dying here !! 🤣

[@monicapttrsn]

Nice work going on. All that bark peeling on the posts looked tough. I wish I had an easier answer. Sad to hear about the rude people, but I am glad you are receiving some critique, as this is your first time building a home without formal training as a Carpenter. I learned that Carpentry, especially building homes, is a challenge. Even the Bible speaks about the Carpenter...."Great are the Carpenters, but greater is the one who created them."...something like that. Jesus was a Carpenter.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Haven’t seen you in the comments for a while. Welcome back! 🥳

[@monicapttrsn]

@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving I've been watching the COVID-19 news. I live in CA, so I've been listening to Governer Gavin Newsom, also Governor Andrew Cuomo of N.Y., watching Chris Cuomo's videos of recovery, watching the President, and all that stuff. G. Andrew Cuomo has been the most entertaining. I'm a Republican, but I have love for all. G. Andrew said something you would like...." It's not about me, it's about we."....Had to catch up on eight of your videos....glad no one was hurt when you moved the shed.

[@monicapttrsn]

@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving I just can't understand why people want to attack you in writing. Martin, everywhere I turn here in California, people are mentally ill, cursing, brains burnt out from drugs, miserable and so on. I think the whole country is in this state, and they want to pick on the man of God. They're angry with God.

Great video!

[@laurencehebert4880]

Ok, I’m curious and I have to ask. When are you going to finish the roof and siding? I’m worried that the wood is going to rot before you get there. 😳 Beyond that, you and your family are genuinely inspirational! Keep at it, you’re getting there!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

The roof, before summer. siding next year.

[@laurencehebert4880]

@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving Next year? 😲 How about finishing the wrap around it completely? Lol Thanks for replying! I'm honored. I really enjoy your videos.

[@vincenttjuatja1988]

Hai mr Martin, how about the flooring. What do you use...?

[@idahodad1]

were you planning on installing some exterior electrical outlets on the home? The door looks very nice, it looks like its reasonably light weight.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Yes we will but maybe in early fall depending on how other projects go this summer.

[@gerin1946]

To the family friend in USA -- from -- A friend in French Guyana Please allow me to make some comments and give some advise ! WATER: Need to install double filter on main water line Install water recirculating pump with some limestone reducing additive device -- Water must be kept in movement to be kept alive...! Put gutter around the house roof to recuperate rain or snow water not forgetting the filter before entering the tank Rain water automatic bypass in case the tank is full to avoid excess water around the tank --- If too little water in the tank it will pop as a coke !!! ISOLATION CHEAP Yes adding some insecticide, inn the sawdust or better the wood-shaving they are very good isolating agent for making a cover over the water tank ! SCREW'S Far better then cruciform head screws, is the "TORX" head !!! Hope to be helpful ...? Keep the family healthy and full of love ! -- Warmest regards -- Marcel

[@CHITECHDUDE]

How is the feather river fiberglass door working these days? I am ordering one, nearly the same as you have in this video, I read Home Depot reviews and pics of showing some pretty bad things, not sure if this was just neglect, poor installs, or what, just curious on your honest review and what you think of them. Thanks in advanced!

[@johndrazba7773]

Hi Martin, I have been viewing your door installs in preparation for my own, but have to admit I am confused. Why did you out the door pan in this video above the membrane but in your other ones you put the door pan below the Vycor membrane? What was the thinking and approach? Thank you.

[@johndrazba7773]

meant to say put, sorry!

[@Aduhwan]

What was the sticky black stuff you laid in the threshold prior to making and installing the sill pan?

[@tonycharron73]

Flashing Tape....it keeps any water that may get in around the door from ruining the framingand flooring lumber. Its a water barrier and helps seal the house wrap to the door rough opening.

[@maggiemagennis3507]

I don’t know how long extension kits have been available but sure could have used one ten years ago! My front door was “adapted” by the installer and it just doesn’t look quite right. Sigh.

HOWdy Johnsons, Exterior DOOR installation This door is PERFECT with a THUMB-KNOB Dead-Bolt --- because you have no Glass Window ... Your previous DOOR has WINDOWS that could easily be broken & a BURGLAR could reach in & UNLOCK both the Door-Knob & Dead-Bolt to gain access in your ABSENCE ... you really should replace the INNER Dead-Bolt THUMB-KNOB with a second KEYED LOCK ( double Lock Set ) that requires a KEY on both the INNER & Outer portion of the DEAD-BOLT Lock on any DOOR with a low WINDOW COOP ...

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Cool. You should say hi. We love meeting new people.

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

all you have to do is pull those screws out, drlll in a bit to offset the head and then putty over them. Though with your cold weather and those being exposed, it might be worth doing wood plugs with glue over them, not just putty. People who use the word ruin, have no idea what that word really means....

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

So true. Thanks.

[@verawatifonda5712]

[@DirkGorgiel]

For a German‘s eye it all look way different. Here Main-doors locking around inside the frame when turning the key. And your electrical is so different, still 120 V?

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Interesting. Yes we use 120v.

[@DirkGorgiel]
