Used Windows for an Off Grid Cabin? Think Again! Proper Window Install

[@iM3M0]

I install windows for a living. Full replacements or just the glass. I was stresssing and worried for your safety. Glad you didn’t get hurt! And thanks for another video to watch!! Be safe and can’t wait to see what’s next for your projects!!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Wow thank you! I’m also glad.😅🙏

[@timwhitley1212]

OMG!!!!! I really cant believe that glass did not break!! God was working with you and this comes from 20 years experience in the replacement window business! Good job!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Indeed!🙏 Thank you.

[@Jiujitsuobsession]

It looked like great weather to get the new windows in the bunkhouse. Beautiful day. Can't wait to see the drone footage.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Indeed.🙏

[@jefflabrozzi9592]

The suspense of getting that first window out! ZIP tape is the greatest stuff, pressure activated, after putting up a zip system I now won’t be without it. Expensive but worth it.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Agree! 🙏

I have been waiting 3 years to insulate under my home here in Gatlinburg. I am finally starting to feel healthy enough to start. It's been a long and hard road to get back to some semblance of reasonable health after several bouts of sepsis. But I do believe that I am almost there. Also waiting for this recent amputation to completely heal as well. So much work to do just to sell this home and hopefully realize my dream of building my own home.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Keep on that healing road and make that dream happen, one day at a time. 🙏🙏

[@CreekSide1779]

@@LifeontheMoose Thanx. Love your vids they get me laughing every time. I always say I'll hold that. LOL

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

🙏🙏

[@liznyp6209]

That music was giving a martini lounge vibe. 🍸👠

[@LifeontheMoose]

💯Glad you got that.

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

New windows looks nice. Nice improvement.

[@LifeontheMoose]

🙏

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

I like these windows better than the ones you had on there👌Nice little cabin great job ❤until your next video stay healthy stay strong and god bless oh you already are 😊🙏❤️✌🏼

[@barbaradrechsler2819]

The new windows look great 😊, the view is amazing ❤.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you! It was a stellar couple days.🙏

[@brotherbruce]

You know what would be neat. If you got a battery powered heated vest this winter and tried it out for us. You remind me of a boss I once had. Whenever I run into him at Costco I still have to give him a big hug.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Aw that’s a nice thing to say! Glad you’re here.🙏

[@929cbr_rr]

Fabulous views !

[@mrrs8118]

Great video creation, nice music, beautiful scenery

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you! Much appreciated 🙏

[@Misty45-kx3bz]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏 You succeeded. Wow, the camera angles, when you were working on the second window, were spot on. So enjoyed the views. Thanks. PS is there any significance of the U shape piece of barbwire next to the window?

[@LifeontheMoose]

Just my version of the lucky horseshoe. 😅 Thank you. I try to make videos that are enjoyable!🙏

[@edmaurer5059]

You still get a great view from inside the bunkhouse. Great fix!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks! The frames distract less than I thought.

[@markhmorrison]

Wow! Such a magnificent view! I was glad to see you add the 2x4 to stiffen the wall. I was wondering about that when you took the window out. God bless and thanks for the video.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Yeah it was a spectacular day. Thanks and God bless!🙏

[@Bob816tip]

Enjoyed your wildlife mounts especially the turkey fan upside down. I have a few but running out of space. Wife permitting I’ll hang some like that. Also liked the mulies in background while you’re working

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey glad you liked. And yeah the deer showed up at the right time. Appreciate you watching!

[@andreab5865]

Great video. The new windows look great. Nice to be able to open them too

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you! And I agree.🙏

[@joqlady888]

I would have put me a tarp down there in case that window had of broken ,so I would not have to pick up a bunch of pieces of glass....But, so far you are in the clear. Man,,I can't wait for your drone shots....lov from south alabama.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Good idea on the tarp! Hopefully I’ll get some good shots.🙏

[@MAB1907]

Hello fro Texas, America is a great place to live…. God Bless Patrick have a great weekend….

[@LifeontheMoose]

God bless.🙏

[@richardwhite3711]

@ 20:04 next sponsor should an " Electric Caulking Gun " company LOL

[@robertconner5126]

I like that. Thank you for sharing.

[@LifeontheMoose]

I’m glad.🙏

[@JaySiewers]

Nice to see the Joshua "T" in the background in many of those shots. Saw your finger wrap very early in the video. I used 2 full tubes of that caulking so far. Definite learning curve to not get it all over me. I guess I'm better at welding. Carport walling is going well on the slab with the block foundation that sank and moved away from the wooden floor part of the garage. I framed in the west wall today, which is actually a trapezoid. I had to measure, number, and cut all the studs to fit the tilted slab to the truss. The top sill tapped in under the truss the whole length of the sill today. Guess I measured it right. Trapezoid wall is out about 1 3/4" vertically and maybe 1" horizontally. But my wall corners are all square and level.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks! Hey good measuring! I find wetting my finger makes for a nice, smooth bead.

[@ZeroCreek]

I mostly used cedar fence pickets for the "Portable Cabin" that I built ... with some motivation from this channel along the way.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Hey fantastic! 🙏

[@KenPaulsenArchitect]

Patrick, Years ago, we used to put an insulated patio door glass unit in a fixed frame (with flanges) when we wanted a tall fixed window. The benefit is that it was tempered glass, but also cheap as it's mass produced. The glass size was 34" x 76" (half of a sliding 6' patio door.) I wonder if your two old windows have tempered glass....

[@LifeontheMoose]

I agree…I think they had to have been. Thank you for the comment!

[@travisgrow4713]

Looks good 👍

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thanks!🙏

[@miketroutman7365]

It’s Friday. Trying to get my bearings on the bunkhouse, is it just below the Spur cabin? In several of your shots, I could see the “T” or cross above it which you can see from the Spur cabin. Anther great post. The steak fajita lunch looked wonderful and more exciting than the walnut salad with cottage cheese…..thanks for not showing that! 😂 You’re getting popular. There must have been 6 commercials for this post. Good for you. 🎉

[@LifeontheMoose]

The bunkhouse sits below what I call the cabin…the garage looking thing I stay in. Those, the barn, the woodshed, and the ridge cabin are all on Red Moose Ranch. The Spur property sits about 3 miles away. Sometimes the view shots I use in “B-roll” doesn’t correspond with the location of that video…if that makes sense!

[@JohnAmes]

looks good my friend

[@LifeontheMoose]

Thank you, Sir!🙏

[@matteberry58]

Those old widows that had the plastic bead that helped keep the panes in place were problems waiting to happen. The sun would toast the beading and eventually it start cracking and coming apart on little chips. Ay yay yay!

[@LifeontheMoose]

You’re probably right. Thanks for commenting!🙏

[@Maxid1]

2:26 I've seen a lot of poppa seal. I used to live down by the wharf in San Francisco. Lots of momma seal and baby seal too.

[@LifeontheMoose]

😂

[@unSteerable256]

But Patrick....i love the sound of breaking glass ...its a stress relief...throwing a hammer thru a window ...music to my ears .

[@LifeontheMoose]

I considered it!😅

[@troypayne3078]

Nicely done video! I really liked the blue shirt. Who makes it?

[@cchambers8632]

11:26 "Going to have lunch ... Holy cow!" Punny? I cannot believe that the pane of glass did not break when you removed it. No more screwing your finger. Besides that, the installation looks great.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ha!!! I can’t believe it either.😅 Thanks you!🙏

[@JohnTalbot-k6xi]

A+

[@LifeontheMoose]

🙏

[@robbstack]

At 21:25 did you notice the deer on the hill behind the Bunkhouse?

[@LifeontheMoose]

Yes! I was going to mention it on video after that, but forgot. 🙄 Good eye! I wonder how many caught them..

[@edro3838]

👍

[@LifeontheMoose]

🙏

[@EdHibbard-y7k]

Good morning Patrick, what's up for today?

[@LifeontheMoose]

🤔🙏

[@joqlady888]

Hey..you may wanna think about a few 'Cooking Shows' some time..just no talkin and that elevator music you are playing and you could keep it short ...or not...Hey was that a screen door over there behind that bed? I just bought cedar fence boards the other day...I buy em,,look at em and think about what they say to me to build.

[@LifeontheMoose]

I doubt my first Red Moose spinoff will be a cooking show, but no guarantees! I like your fence board muse.🙏

[@Bluejeangirl27]

This is Karen, AKA “Mrs. Moose.” Yes, that is a screen door. Good eye!

[@andersmartensson1851]

Fin liten stuga perfekt helt enkelt , Lite klen isolering bara .

[@LifeontheMoose]

🙏

[@pauljohnson758]

At least you basically showed you shouldn’t install a window, The trim should be bottom, you side pieces longer to run along bottom piece. , there should be a drip cap on top.

[@richardwhite3711]

@ 32:59 is the barbwire hanging by the door suppose to represent a horse shoe ?

[@LifeontheMoose]

🎯

[@Maxid1]

1:11 so you got the fire poker hot as L?

[@LifeontheMoose]

Ooh that may be hard to beat. 😂 Good one!

[@erwinaddison2030]

Windows can be a pain in the glass!😊 Dad joke warning..

[@LifeontheMoose]

🎯

[@chrisferrenz4560]

Is it true about you being heir to The Red Moose shoe polish fortune?

[@LifeontheMoose]

That is unfortunately NOT true. 🥲

[@boblordylordyhowie]

I know that sigh around the 7-min mark, I do it a lot myself. We do not have the same instal as you do for your windows as ours fit into the wall not onto it. We usually do not use metal frames unless they have an insulation gap as the metal frames usually allow heat to transfer from outside to inside, but we do have a lot of wooden framed windows too, as wood is a natural insulator. It can be seen here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jprOiJSspdp1hbc&ab_channel=EurocellPVCU

[@LifeontheMoose]

That sigh…😅 Thank you for the post!🙏

[@Maxid1]

There's no way I can leave a tortilla without running it over a flame or even an electric element to brown it here and there. That flavor is good if I do nothing but butter and eat it.

[@LifeontheMoose]

Yeah I agree on the tanning of the tortilla.

[@matteberry58]

Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh as you struggle to that old frame out of the opening. What a royal pain in your kiester!

[@LifeontheMoose]

Glad you felt that!😅

[@Maxid1]

29:05 Cringe cringe cringe 29:10 oh thank goodness a block of wood!
