How would you cut a wall where the wall needs to be flush with the outside patio in a daylight basement? There is a window of the same width there now. For the bottom part to be flush I don't think the machine can cut that close to the ground. What would you do in that case?
Beautiful job. Forget my ignorance. I want to do this in my home. I have full basement with concrete bricks. When you cut in this type of walls do you need to do anything in terms of reinforcement for the house? (Before installing a window) I know all outside walls on a house are load bearing walls. Like if I did this on a wood wall I have to reinforce it what about this concrete walls? Thank you
That window is designed to tilt all the way in from top to bottom. Not enough clearance between the window and jamb trim? Seemed like it bound up on the right side top.
The window is designed to open at the top only enough to allow a small amount of air circulation and left open at night as not to allow a would be criminal to gain access to the interior of the building. It's true that these windows do have more moving parts than the ordinary window and therefore the tolerances are tight. They can be adjusted but as far as the Tilt-N-Turn this window appears to be working perfectly. Thanks
window $150 to 300 Framing material $100 window well $200 gravel $200 equipment rental for a day $500 (mini-ex & georgia buggy) Sawutting $500 (from a sub-contractor) Sacutting $300 (you rent saw and buy blades - but you would need to cut from both inside and outside) $2000.00 (includes tax) plus labor Probably close to $3500 includes $500 in labor and $1000 in profit My best guess
Not trying to be a brat but they cracked the foundation. And isn't going to bad when it rains? They are supposed to do other stuff before they even install the window.
Yeah, lots of worthless footage. You have a real knack for being able to write comments that point you out as an obvious troll that even the blind can see it. Your really doing folks a real good service by leaving no question in their mind so they need waist no time at all wondering.
Was thinking this as well as soon as I seen the topsoil going inside. Should be a vertical pipe going to foundation drainage tile. At the very least filled with gravel so that water drains away from the window and doesn't pool and potential flood through the window. I also noticed the big crack they made in the foundation wall that I would of been quite pissed about.
The gravel they used only appears when it rains and because it comes from around Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. It also has a spong quality that allows it to absorb 100 times its weight in water and relocates it to where it came from. These guys know their stuff when it comes to drainage it is obvious and anyone that says otherwise clearly isn't watching the video.
These guys have done over 5,000 egress windows! Nice job.
Thanks for sharing.. great video
How about draining rain water?
Nice job guys!
If it was me, I would have created a door egress, and a nice little backyard to access to! :)
Nice job nice power pack

Use the flush cut adapter
@@craignorwood2355 thank you I'll have to research that I've only ever used the floor machine
@@saborguerito look up 21" wolverine hydraulic hand saw, flush cut adapter

There is no load bearing under the windows. In a wooden house the load is transferred with a header to the sides of the window and around it.
What product did you use to fill in the corners where the saw cross cut?
Does Code in that area allow for an inward opening window?
Job is great if you are making a commercial, would have been nice to see how it was actually done. Not just before and after.
how much does it cost
+mike deushane Either have someone come look at it or send pics of where it will be located.

+MrAlexlove75 Many different window companies make the Tilt-N-Turn
How much does this cost!!!!??? Please someone
Yes I would like to know was well!
window $150 to 300
Framing material $100
window well $200
gravel $200
equipment rental for a day $500 (mini-ex & georgia buggy)
Sawutting $500 (from a sub-contractor)
Sacutting $300 (you rent saw and buy blades - but you would need to cut from both inside and outside)
$2000.00 (includes tax) plus labor
Probably close to $3500 includes $500 in labor and $1000 in profit

Does the window well require a drain pipe?
+akrasia1969 No drain pipe needed. The well should go approx. 12 to 18 inches below the bottom of the window.
I have seen guys dig it all the way down to almost the drain tile and fill it with gravel.
Biggest horse and pony show ive seen in a while

where is the weeping pipe in the well or the gravel drainage layer?
my thoughts exactly.. any bad rain and that will flood or damp riding
Tim Bunetic where would the weeping pipe go to?

They probably added a cover.
