    Great video... thank you!!
    Shouldn't the house wrap turn into the door jamb before the door is installed and shouldn't we have some sort of Z flashing of the top of the horizontal brick mold, that goes under the wrap material?
    How come we didn't go w/ a LH swing here?

    5 different guys would install a door 5 different ways butttttt I would've flashed that door opening before installing the door. That house wrap could've been taped as well.

    ohhhh yeah, He's got the Ridgid driver.. Much better than the DeWalt... In my opinion. Anyway, excellent video. I recently built my own garage and am now at the point to making sure I install the door exactilly the correct way. Just one question though, an 1/8" gap all around is really what I am trying to shoot for, right? I still need to frame in the rough opening for the door which is why the question. Thanks!!

  • @Midman1972
    @Midman1972 Рік тому

    No mention of siting the door contact with the strike-side weatherstripping. This is a crucial point, and you can’t assume it’s even from threshold to head jamb.

    hello good day, thanks for your videos but I have a big question; Can the door be put on without removing the plastics that it has in the holes of the hinges? first nail on the outside frame and then remove cut the plastics with a multi tool, do you understand what I mean?
