Thank you for a detailed step-by-step process in installing the membrane. I agree in previous comments--love your meticulous, and doing the job right.

You just helped me identify at least three steps I haven't considered on my french door installation, that I will start in 30 minutes- or when I return from the store from buying the sill plate (or flashing to be modified at the site), the sealant (not caulking) & the expansion foam. THANKS!!!!!

Sorry, this is Mike . I'm on my wife's computer watching your VDIYS on some membrane instal. I gotta tell ya , you're a natural with these videos.

Mr. Katz, I was very fortunate to have attended one of your Road Shows. Your attention to detail along with your in depth knowledge of work flow and best practice material installation were really eye-opening and changed the way I approach projects. BTW I still reference the miter template you made for me. I hope we cross paths again.

this is great. I love Larry Haun but until now had not heard of Gary Katz. I replaced my French door not so long ago, and the original builder had not done ONE bit of flashing! Wow, talk about the rot. after rebuilding that area, I flashed it and even bought the expensive sill pan!

Oh my gosh I WANT that patio door!!!😍💞 Can you come bust open my load-bearing wall and put that in with a deck for my 45th birthday pa-LEEEZE?!🥺🙏🏻🤣 Single disabled widow and mom-BEST PRESENT EVER! lol Wonderful video. Thank you so much!

note the Tajima caulk gun he's using. The sealant he's talking about is quite dense and hard to push with a standard caulk gun, especially if its not 85 degrees. The gun he's using is probably 26:1, vs the 8:1 guns you commonly see on the shelf. Other companies make high ratio caulk guns, but Tajima is a very high quality brand. That's why they paint them in metal flake car paint (I think). Worth having a good gun unless you like broken caulk guns in the middle of setting a door (or window).

Good work ethics, the work should last for many years.

How did you make the cant strip?

[@cymekus9368]

I'm doing a deck off an old house and installing a new door. This tutorial shows unique real life issues like I'm facing unlike a lot of videos. Thanks for the help.

This is what you call a professional.

You said you would speak about the green 'ziplock'. What is it and why do you put it underneath direct fixed weatherboard??
