Straight-forward, step=by-step, not too much intro talking (UA-cam pet peeve!) Just what I needed for our kitchen reno...Onward I go to the house wrap video!
Love your videos! one thing I`d suggest is that it would not be a bad idea to put the links of the other videos you mentioned about framing and insulation in the description box.
it’s 2020 and idk why i’m watching this i’m 14 years old and probably will never do this in my life it’s so interesting
Nearly 14 minutes of video, but a lifetime of knowledge involved. Incredible stuff really.
Sure you will!! I started helping build things with my dad at 12ish.
Sure you will! Learning home-improvement skills will literally save you thousands and thousands of dollars in your future. And it's incredibly satisfying. My family bought a house for just under $16,000 dollars. Our teen sons had the skills to improve the house (drywalling, painting, demolition, putting windows in, insulation, plumbing...etc.) because their dad taught them. Currently we are working on the front porch, which would probably be a $5-10,000 job, if we had to hire people. I encourage you to keep on learning!
You may have to do this or something similar someday. I'm a white-collar worker, and certainly not "mechanically inclined," but I found that I really enjoy doing work like this, and UA-cam videos (the QUALITY ones, like this one) have helped me countless times. Good luck!
I thought the exact same thing at 14 lol. I'm almost 40 and here I am. Knowledge is power!!!
Shannon, thank you so, so much for all of your excellent videos. You have saved us thousands of dollars and empowered us to be educated, capable homeowners and DIYers. Your videos change LIVES, man! We are truly indebted to you! THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks Lindsay! We try our best.
Shannon, Thanks for sharing your videos. I always enjoy watching them and they’re full of info.
Great video! Y'all do such a great job at demonstrating just how to get things done.
You are a great source of construction knowledge. These videos are great and much appreciated. Thank you.
Greetings House Improvements (Shannon). Just wanted to say thankyou for taking the time to make the tons of videos you have made just like this 1. Your on the job demostration / explanation is simple to understand, & easy to follow. Your knowledge & skills are priceless, & I for 1 really appreciate you sharing it here : ) Please keep up the great work, & the great videos! -Eric
If this isn't the most Canadian/Midwestern video I have ever seen in my life I would have a lot more colorful language with that splinter lol
Great, simple, to the point vid....THANKS!! I'll be doing this over the weekend, appreciate the instruction!
We're remodeling our house and want to wall off an existing bedroom door...cause were gonna put one in around the corner just down the hall instead so we can expand the usage of our living room space... This video gave me the basics of what to do! Obviously we'll be using drywall instead... Great video! Thanks!
Shannon, thanks mate for this. I’m filling in the middle of 3 large 47” x 47” windows to create more wall space so I can hang a duo mini-split AC unit in a large room that I am converting into a man-cave. I appreciate your willingness to share details. I watched your video on house wrap to and appreciate that. NICE JOB, not cursing when you got that splinter on the 2x4! LOL! God Bless you and yours pal. Stay safe!
Glad I could help!
Absolute best UA-cam channel, he made me a better plumber watching his carpentry.
I have always said that all of us trades need to work with each other now and again to make us all better and easier to work together because we understand what each other needs to do so our trades meld easier together..
@@HouseImprovements exactly.
I needed help to fill a window hole. I could only find this and I figured, pretty much same process. This will work perfect. Thanks so much. I was also pleased when I heard you speak. I thought, "Well now...a Canadian accent." Thanks a bunch from New Brunswick.
Thanks for putting the time to post these videos and help us get educated. Much appreciated. I have seen a lot of your videos ever. Keep up the good work. Thank you
Thank you for watching! please share our stuff with everyone !
Found your video while trying to figure out how to fill in the old doorway. I have an old stone house and for some reason an old owner decided to board up the original doorway (with a lovely stone arch) and put a new (cheap Terrill door which didn’t shut right and let the wind, rain and snow in) doorway in cutting out the original stone. I had a new door put into the original spot, which now looks amazing) but what to do with the old door before cold weather. I can’t get a carpenter/handyman (they are in such high demand) for months. So, I googled how to fill I. The doorway and found this great video. I think I can do it myself (hope, anyway) and think this video was so helpful and informative. Now I just need to figure out what to do about the stone work on the outside.
Yet another helpful video--THANK YOU Shannon
Great video, Shannon, as always.
Shannon, you make me want to go out and buy tools ! Love the videos !
Buy,Buy,Buy
Thanks great video you always make it very clear
This is how easy it is??? Man you are a money saver. This is the perfect video on the topic. I can't thank you enough.
New subscriber !
Thanks for the sub!
Great video, Shannon
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing.
I really liked the video...I know this is from a while back. But I would have loved to see the other videos that are referred to in the video linked in the description.
Great videos Shannon. I have stucco on the outside so after I put plywood then??
thanks this is exactly what i was looking for.
Iv watched a lot of your videos and they have helped me a lot with my home Reno's ! Thank you :)
You are so welcome!
Awesome work.
Thanks, Shannon, good video.
i plan on making the doorway bigger (taller) to move in a large piece of furniture inside before patching it up, is it safe to cut the top 2x4?
Thank you!!!! You are the man!
Hello , I was wondering if you have a video on removing small windows on exterior walls and making it a solid wall?
Perfect! Filling in a doorway soon. We have three framed up doorways in our basement that are 40” 😳. Is it ok to just add more jack studs to close it up and make the doorway smaller?
Shannon makes the best videos on youtube
Yeah he makes everything look so nice and neat
Your videos are great...do you have a video to make an opening in a wall to install a new door?
Great videos!! Thank you!!
I love your videos
Amazing job
Like your video ' straight to the point .
Great video thanks so much 😎👍
Shannon's awesome!
nice work !
Hi Shannon, I have an opening in the living room. I want to install a door. The remaining openings will be fitted to the drywall.
The wooden frame in the opening has been covered by material as used on the outside surface of drywall ( I don't know how to call this kind of material--sorry) . this is a finished opening. Should I remove these materials before installing a door? Will it be hold well if I put the door directly onto the drywall material?
In addition, this opening height is 80 10/16 in. The door I bought is 80in. Door+Jamb is 82in. What is the standard thickness of this kind of cover material? If I remove the those material, the opening will have more height and I do have to cut the door?
Shannon, have you switched to the new Hitachi cordless framing gun? Looks way better than the fuel ones and better than the DeWalt cordless framer. I'm interested to see your take on them
Thanks for video! Really helpful!
You're welcome!
Nice video, thanks.
Makes it look easy.
How much would something like this cost? I would like to change a door in my kitchen into a wall in my second home.
Thank you!
Hello, I want to remove an oversized patio door and put a kitchen sink along that wall. Can I drill thru the king stud l, especially since it will no longer support the patio door and will have a stud replacement between it and a new smaller window above the sink?
Another great video!
Hello! What company supplies you windows and doors?
YOU CAN PERMANENTLY CLOSE UP A DRAFTY, UNWANTED WINDOW THIS WAY ALSO WITH THE PLYWOOD & STUDS.👍👍
Here's how ignorant I am...
I got four minutes into this video before I realized it was how to fill in a door rather than how to hang a door.
+Clay Tumey We have two videos for installing a door, one for exterior and one for interior.
I found them after my comment. Thank you! I really enjoy your channel and teaching style. Glad you've stuck around for so long.
It took me 7 minutes to figure that out xD
That was excellent demonstration,can you how remove and install a patio sliding door.❤
awesome
When you put the siding on, is it an issue to have a long vertical seam running the whole length of the deleted door? Thanks for making this video. This is very useful for a project.
nice.
@HouseImprovements, I need a video showing how to FILL IN the window area of a front exterior door. The home is very old, and the door is very large and will be difficult and expensive to replace, so we thought maybe we could remove the glass and replace it with nice wood. Ideas?
I am assuming you don't need caulking for interior walls correct
like a boss!!
What size nails did you use?
How do we get the siding installed to match?
wonky...lol thx for the giggle :)
Do you do the same thing on the other side
Are you able to do framing with screws? I don't have a large nail gun and don't want to buy one to frame in a single doorwy.
hoping to see the other side of how fill in the drywall when taking and filling in a door way
10:27 How will you get back inside the house after you close that hole?
Because you still have work to finish on the inside. Just curious!
what nailer are you using and what size nails do you need to use to go through a 2" board like you are doing?
Than you,
FB
The nailer is a paslode, can be found at most big box stores. 3" nails are common in framing.
11:45 Shannon has the speed reload perk
Thanks for another great video.
What caulking do you use?
For applications where creating an interior air barrier is requiring (to prevent smells from one room to the next, for example) do you recommend using 3 mil plastic?
Thanks!
Normally your finished drywall will accomplish that oil its own. Our forum is a great place to ask question like these ,please give it a try www.house-improvements.com/forums/
Hi Shannon,
Can you provide more information regarding the size of the nails and the type power nailer you used for this project.?
Thank you. Roy
These are a 3-1/4" framing nail made to work in this Paslode gas nailer.
Oohwch!! .. heheh.. Felt ur pain, my fellow heavy accented brother!!.. lol Keep it up.. THe good work that is, not the splinters!!
I’m never gonna use this but this is relaxing as shit for some reason
Нормальный мужик,без тупых понтов.
I love your channel shannon. Wish you can help me with. Project while i learn same time.
We have a forum where you can ask specific questions as well. www.house-improvements.com/forums/
I have hardwood throughout my house. Do I need to remove the hardwood under the door jamb before installing the bottom plate or can it be installed directly on top of the hardwood floor?
If there is hardwood right to the exterior (really there should not be) but if there is cut it back before installing the plate.
Thanks for the reply. It's not an exterior door I'm wanting to close; I should have mentioned that. We opened the wall between our kitchen and the living room so the old cased opening to the kitchen isn't needed so we want to close it up so we can redo our kitchen and add more cabinets where that cased opening is now. If it's an interior wall, does that make a difference? I've read that leaving the floor under is OK but wanted to check with someone more knowledgeable. Obviously removing the floor where the bottom plate will go will be more work but I'm not afraid of that if it's the proper way of doing it to avoid future issues with the floor and/or wall.
The other option I thought of was just "floating" the bottom plate a half inch or so above the floor and attaching it to the existing studs on either side with either pocket hole screws or framing nails. I thought maybe that would be OK since I assume this isn't really structural so much as it is giving us something to attach the new drywall to since there is already a header above this cased opening so the bottom plate shouldn't be carrying any load. This way we don't destroy the floor underneath in case we or a future home owner decides to take the wall back down. Is that another possible option or another bad idea on my part? TIA!
Thanks. How do I cover the gaps on the outer side of the frame.
expandable foam caulking
If we wanted to make shelves on outside. Should we put house wrap on the plywood on inside of house (door frame)?
House wrap is installed on the exterior of the exterior plywood before siding or exterior finish is installed.
Question do you have to install insulation between when you have to cover up the other side
it will get insulated if its an exterior walleyes.
Would you need the caulking for an interior wall? Thank you!
No need
Shannon, I like your nailer,
Could you tell me the brand and model please, thank you for the video , is very good.
This is a Paslode gas nailer. My model is older and i'm not even sure its still available.amzn.to/2L20OFK
Ok question maybe i was shown different do you not match your crowns make them go all the same way any more or am i over thinking on a wall
Yes ,match your crowns.
I dont want to buy a framing nailer for one project. What size and type screws would you recommend instead?
To do this exact thing you would not need structural screws so 3" #8 deck screws would be fine.
What will you do to make the outside look nice? Seems it would be hard to patch in the same siding there.. 🤔
This home got completely new siding. In this case it would have been more work to make it look like it was not a patch
@@HouseImprovements Ok thanks!
Is that code in Canada? I've filled in an interior doorway and except for the soul plate, I didn't double up the sides (yours were triple with the extra jack studs). You couldn't have just put the soul plate down and cut your up rights to nail directly into the header? Or at least a top plate so you wouldn't be side nailing into the header. Good video and a good job.
it is not code ,I like to be sure that I have a good nailing surface all around the opening, especially out side in this case the outer sheathing was only 3/8 so its pretty flimsy.
What if the exterior were brick? Is it a similar process or does it add a lot more complexity? (I'm not planning on doing it myself but if I were to discuss it with a GC).
Please us my forum for your question. www.house-improvements.com/forums/
HouseImprovements Alright! Thanks for the tip.
For the bottom framing stud is the floor concrete that you nailed into?
What would you use for concrete floor?
@@seh_one concrete nails
Would i use this same method to lower the height of a door opening? For example, insteed of placing the plate at the very bottom of the opening, i woild just place it at rhe new height?
Im looking for ways ro decrease my opening from 90 inches to 82 inches.
Yes.
@@HouseImprovements thank you!
Hi! Why couldn't you use the original framing thats already there? Is there a reason you double framed it with new wood?
I would have to cut back the old drywall and exterior plywood to expose enough framing wood to attach the new drywall patch and the exterior plywood patch to. Adding more lumber just makes the process easier and quicker.
I'm right about to do this to two doors this weekend. Could someone tell me the reasoning for adding a frame within the door frame? There's 2 2x4s on each side already and a 3rd is added on each side.
It's to install the plywood, without the added frame you would only have the two studs to attach the plywood to.
Nice video. 1) Why add the top 2x4 ? There is already a crown 2) The additional wall studs shouldn't they be placed to continue the existing 16 on center spacings from outside the door frames . Thanks.
I could have nailed the studs to the bottom of the header for sure. You could place them so they land on regular spaces but I didn't
why cant you use wood glue?
When you're nailing the bottom board... How would you do that if the floor was concrete?
Use some construction adhesive instead
Concrete nail gun
Why frame inside of the door frame?
Remember to stagger that siding back away from old door.
that is all being replaced in my case .
would you use this method on a exterior opening?
This video IS on an exterior opening!
is it perminent when you fill a door opening ?
Not necessarily , it could be opened and used for a door again in the future if you needed to.
you didn't put cauk on the right 2x4 was there a reason or did you forget?
Roof
Why is it necessary to add the boards to the existing framing? There are already two boards on either side. What is the purpose of the third board on either side of the framing?
support for the drywall and plywood
@@HouseImprovements Got it. Thank you :)
