- #shorts PVC on the window sills, lots of abuse on these and often the first piece to fail. The rest of the trim is high-quality wood trim.

FYI that "cut" underneath is called a capillary groove 😊
Why didn’t you caulk the bottom of the 1x4 where it meets the PVC? That’s the first place that will rot. Paint it before installation will help some.
It will be when it's painted. It's still not finished. You can see the fasteners. He's just showing what to do
I built on the ocean.. we use PVC for all trim. Not just the bottom. The crazy thing is.. it doesn’t even matter. Cause in 20 years, it gets torn down and replaced. I have already seen $700k builds from 07 get taken down.
This 👆🏻I replaced the kitchen in a house 3 times because every time it sold the new owners wanted a brand new kitchen and I got the call from the realtor.
@@CMCraftsman yep in the good hoods, people fix, maintain and REPLACE.
You must be in Ca.
I saw a brand new house built on the sand in Newport Beach Ca. they hired main land contractors, all the nails beneath the stucco where steel, they all rusted within two years and you could see the rust dripping down the stucco.
This day in age, why would anyone not use pvc or at least treated lumber on an exterior. Cost is so minimal. Builders counting pennies I guess
@@chrisanthony579 a lot of cedar is still being used. A cedar is stupid expensive. 1x12 STK was $13.81 LF last time I bought. 2x6-4Sclear was like buying gold.
The « groove » should be up to 3/8’’ wide, so that water does not stay in it but really drip down. Otherwise it just sits there and it can fill up (and or freeze) and become a « bridge » for it to become ineffective.
If it was wood water might stay there and might promote rot.
If it was concrete, it would have to be 3/4’’ back from the side and also 3/8’’ wide so as to avoid freeze thaw damage.
On PVC in summer, it just leaves stain marks when it’s not wide enough.
This being said, I liked this video.
It is the fine details that make all the difference🛠
Its called a drip edge. Every balcony slab has them on slab ceilings in Florida.
I love your details
love the attention to detail
So, old houses built in the 40, s had these, but wood, like my old joint cheers.
If you are going to upgrade the window sill to PVC you should upgrade the other 1x4’s to PVC too.
What is the PVC sill product?
Genius 👍🏽
Which wood was used on 3 sides and is it pocket holed into the sill?
Should the bottom of the window where it meet the PVC be caulked?
you mean the that same azak sill that i buy has the kerf cut in it to
are the legs and head 5/4" or 1"x4" ?
I have a spot where two facial boards meet at a corner, I notice the flashing was bent and causing the water to go the joint between the two facial boards, that area rotted out and I had to have the boards replaced, now I see why. So I bent the flashing better, is there a way to dry out that joint?
How do you fill the nailing holes in the sill? PVC plugs? Caulk?
Nailed it!
First of all great idea on that curf...... But just curious why not pvc for all sides as well?
cost. pvc is harder to work with and more than double the price. The wood trim is going to last a while if you paint your house every 5-10 years, depending on where you live
@@anthonyrodrigues5032in that situation it's not harder to work with.
@@anthonyrodrigues5032 So this brings up an interesting debate, as painting a home of this scale every 5 to 10 years will cost $40,000 each time vs the extra $10,000 that could be spent up front upgrading wood trim to PVC or cementitious. My GC, years ago, used finger jointed wood trim (which is garbage) around all my new windows, and that turned out to be a foolish pursuit as it's all rotting now.
Curf could be called. The blade curf
drip edge its been around since wooden windows have been made
Thanks for the insight Rick. Always appreciate a comment.
I've never seen that before Nice Idea, so simple
I don’t understand why you’d use wood for the 1x4. Obvious cost is not a factor on a project of this magnitude
Cost for pvc for window trim is a fraction of a percent of the cost of a home. (maybe a couple hundred bucks?) Builders are jut programmed to save every penny.
No sill, no problem.
Wicking back
I like that
I don't see any caulk
It's called a drip lip
drip slot
You but wood floors against base?
But you do this, don't get it,
Caulking?😂
How do you say it?
Aka drip edge
French cut on the window casing and knarly cut edge of that pvc. Yikes. I’m not saying I don’t see it around me, but I thought NS held it better than that.
Never seen that on any house in my country ever.
Some countries are still developing in many ways. Implementing this procedure will save you tons of money from rot and damage! The more you know! 🇺🇸🙌
@@aaronsalvesen4553 No, because our houses are not made of wood ;) Can not nail that wood trim on to brick.
@@numsidumsragitsch What country?
@@InexplicableBill Germany.
@@numsidumsragitschworks great on stone as well. I’ve done it on limestone stair tread overhangs and granite overhanging sill for stone veneer on the bottom of a house
Let’s talk about how rare of a human you are with dark hair and an orange beard… I think you’re in the 1%
The side trim wicks water worse than the sill
Thief lower prices
The screws arent set deep enough for filler, so its just another fn shitty house
That 1x4 has no sealant and will rot out in a few years
