Installing Exterior Doors & Windows: Setting The Doors

[@jonathanlombard8897]

Gary Katz is still the best carpentry teacher I've ever watched. From crown molding to installing doors and everything else in between, his methods are the best and his explanations are concise and easy to understand.

[@PerryTradesman]

This guy is a total pro and is doing a great job of explaining what and why he is doing. Nice!

Loads of information. You're also an excellent speaker. Thanks for the great video.

[@59tunzotonz]

nicely done, my friend. excellently explained details throughout and imperfect project conditions closely mimic those typically found in the trade.

[@jenniferfarsh675]

great teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@SonsOfThunder229]

I could watch you all day

[@Mensch002]

Excellent instruction and a different (better) way to do a project I've done many times before (minus the occasional profanity...I mean construction words).

[@lizzapaolia959]

Great video 😁👌

[@PBS-nm1uu]

what country are you from? are all those products in the USA? also great video very informative keep up the good work.

[@vespa2223]

Nifty. Is this stuff lighter weight than strand or ply? Easy to cut?

Min 9:10 Sill pan Min 6:00 adhesive flashing. Existing siding, Zip tap overlap to waterproof

[@cch068]

I thought the better method is to leave the sill uncaulked so water has a path out if it gets behind the window? Or is that only for windows and not doors and sidelights? Im not an expert but am in the market for new windows and wanted to understand the process better. It seems every installer has their own quirks with window install.

Bad ass teacher

Great video, but I missed the part where you hung the door.

[@traditionalholmes]

you have a lot of pencil's in your tool belt?

[@argotungsten4336]

Any missed nails or nails driven below the green coating will be a weak point of this type of system. Maybe a good idea to seals the nails in the field of the board ,and not just the edges of the boards . Although I don't completely trust the test I saw ,parts are credible . this system was tested and leaks did happen , and they started amongst other places ... at the nail holes .

Palm forgot , Great bid 👍

This guy is waaay tooo OCD. You already nailed the thing in the framing, why are you checking it again for the 3rd time?

[@Mensch002]

Clearly you've never much construction work or were very good at it, I've checked five times before. Once it's done it's done, right or wrong and you want it done right every time or it cost you time, money and reputation, which all translate into money.

@@Mensch002 First i'm a property developer. I buy land and my team goes in and builds on it. Sometimes if I can't buy land, I buy outdated properties and renovate them. Time is money. If you need to check 5 to 10 times, you have no confidence in your work; you wouldn't be worth my time or money. Check twice, cut once is my philosophy. Seems like you must be unemployed now since you are commenting on legacy comments posted 2 years ago. There is no such thing as "do it once forever". You can waste time, a week on a door and buy the best $3k door, for a forever door. Hell, your door may last 100 years, but you wasted your time and failed to understand residential real estate in America. Most homes have 30 year life cycles. This mean they either age via time or via wear and must be renovated or fall out of fashion and home owners renovate them regardless. If it can last at least 30 years, it's good enough. Also this guy in the video wasted his time and money. Swapping out a portion of a home with zip r sheathing won't really help, especially in an older home. Zip R is only 5.6 r value and looses it over time. By the time he saves enough money to do the rest of his house, a newer, better product will be out, or hell maybe there will even be a recall do to unsafe chemicals in the zip R. But do it as long as it makes for you feel safe and self secure....

@@zomgosz1503 @ZOMGoS Z Judging by your long winded response to an unnecessary comment you sound like you have too much time on your hands, I do just fine with my job thanks. And your apparent need to quickly respond to someone responding to your trivial mean comment that you made 2 years ago just makes you come across sounding like a troll and not a true craftsman. Which is what this was about, doing a good job well.

[@zomgosz1503]

@@Mensch002 I bet this is your video. Your mad because you don't like criticism. Lmao. True craftsmen measure twice, cut once. Not measure 5 times, cut, measure, screw on, measure again, then measure it again. True story.

@@zomgosz1503 I wish it were my video this guy is really good at what he does and he's an affable instructor. I guess I was right you're just a troll.
