The smart way would include window tape along the bottom so that the window bottom or seal does not rot and some window caulk and then spray foam over insulation around the window.
He doesn’t tell you anything he doesn’t pull the window Plaza wall how do you get the window out of there but I’ll break into the water around it and how do you measure it to the inside the outside what
How did you get to that point the window has inside has a casing around it. How do I get the casing off to remove the window without breaking the casing?
Shit man, had a broken window in my room since I was 15 now I’m 18 and there’s mold bruh. I got to change this asap. Do all windows have that block and just slide in and out as one whole window?
Probably really good windows, insane they cost so much. East coast in order to get any rebates from the electrical company, they force you to buy these 500+ dollar windows so it adds up quick. That’s not including labor
"Measuring. Ordering the right windows takes time" Then take a little more time while measuring. You will not need to raise the head expander to fill the gap from measuring wrong lol. It's only job is to cover a gap from bad measurements.
I gave my window manufacturer the specs on the rough opening and I installed it per their instructions. To be honest, I agree, it's too gappy for my taste, but if you don't follow the manufacturer's instructions, you void the warrantee. YMMV
@@dumbasscontractors never do rough openings measure exact. Tell them exact. Leaving it up them them to subtract does cause issues. Also email measurements that way mistakes they make are on them. And trust me, they make mistakes a lot!
Window installer here, houses tilt over time, and the window frame that was once a □ now is more like a ◇. If you measure the window super tight and the frame is ◇, your window will be installed like a ◇ and it won't lock. Always order smaller, so you can have space to work with an unleveled frame! The gaps you just fill with spray foam
Suppliers will usually take rough measurements and subtract 1/2” on the width and height to give you 1/4” reveal all the way around. Of course if you’re out of square you can reduce the size you give them.
That's what I'm working on. It's a three-dimensional problem of filming, editing and technical skills. I know where I want to end up, but I still have to figure how to get there, and I've only found a few people who can help me do what I want to do. It's like blazing a trail.
@@dumbasscontractorsI've never heard of a replacement/retro window referred to as a window buck. I have only ever known a "window buck" as the wood or metal framing set into the brick, block, or concrete opening for a window to be fastened to.
You are correct, there's a lot more to the process. The limiting factor is the 60 second length of the #short. I have to break the lesson down into small bites. Then I go back and edit the small bites into a longer video.
who knew walter white could also replace windows too. great video, thank you
I've installed a few windows before, but today I learned what the long cap on top is for. Thank you 👍
Wow how unsecured that window was

Everything youre talking about is around the rough opening, not around the replacement unit itself.
No way it’s that easy
the demeanor, the fatherly way of speaking, the lack of hair…. i couldn’t trust this man more if you paid me to!😂
Thank for your kind words, Brother!

I am glad to see Walter White decided to make instructional videos.
Walter red
1. The “buck” is the frame the window goes in
2. There were no vinyl windows in the “late 70’s”
3. Jesse, we need to cook.
Where’s the silicone to put on before putting the window.
Great video thanks for sharing.
Nice, video! Thanks 👏👏👏
Thank you SO MUCH!!💢
Smartin up folks.
I'm not really sure how this video could help me. You're telling me the only thing that held that window in place was the cap at the top
The smart way would be to get a window that you can replace the unit in itself
My dad installs windows & that’s what he tells me, as long as I have the right measurements and everything is level the job will be easy
Tell your dad I said hello
Can you send step by step videos
No glue??
How did you get to that point the window has inside has a casing around it. How do I get the casing off to remove the window without breaking the casing?
It's the way it was built back in 1861. It's primitive, but effective.
neat name?
What? That easy? So any thieve can kick the window ?
Shit man, had a broken window in my room since I was 15 now I’m 18 and there’s mold bruh. I got to change this asap. Do all windows have that block and just slide in and out as one whole window?
There are unique circumstances worth every window, but it’s not rocket surgery
i need my window replaced haha
Awwwwww nawewww my parents really living in filth for no reason.
Wow
No pella tape 😂
Wheres the tape and silicon? You just showed nothing
I got quoted 39-59k to change 27 windows.

yeah the insects and birds will love your windows. they have plenty of entry points
Probably might want to add a bead of caulk or an exterior flat piece and then a bead of caulk on the flat peice and around the perimeter
I can do that.

@@leonardocosta279 true that's why I check for level so I know what to order. This obviously could have been made taller

Make a 20 mins video explaining every single step

Are you calling the window unit a "buck"?
Yes

@@GGg-ug3jr There's different slang all over the country. I've heard it called a "pack", a "unit" and a "buck".
No sealant? No mounting 😂screws?
Yea this was a weird video lol

How do the democrats explain not running the first black female who has 4 years experience at the job?
