This is great, Caitlin. I began painting the exterior of houses in the late 1970's and that led me into more rehab/repair jobs on old houses than I care to remember. Its refreshing to see the work you do and not be disappointed in your methods. Your use of quality caulk/sealant/adhesives and flashing tape is spot on. The work you do will hold up to the weather and last decades. Not only that but as always, your finished product is exemplary. Good job!
Wonderful job on replacing the door. Great use of the screws. The use of flashing tape will see definitely make it water and air tight. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Nice fix well done, been building/fixing up our house for the last 18 yrs probably got a good 18 yrs left to go it is a never ending job unfortunately 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
Hi HB, your ability to use your common sense to tackle any project is very enjoyable to watch. I think you can do what ever you set your mind to accomplish!!! I always look forward to Saturday mornings to watch your videos. Timothy
Looks great and helpful! I found water intrusion into my 1970’s Anderson basement windows in one specifically that led to me ripping out as much rot as possible and recreating the actual bottom sash that was far too gone. I’d love to see how you tackle that, some of the original pieces to hold water out were too far gone and now I’m trying to come up with a better way to seal up this window.
I actually have a video on here somewhere about recreating Pella window frames for a similar reason. The issue with the Pella was the company made a faulty product to the point there was actually a law suit. But, as these things go they ended up not being held accountable for the fact they sold shitty units. I get emails pretty regularly from people that watched the video, have the same issue, and need to replace multiple units.
I have never come up with a good answer on why it is acceptable practice to wrap trim in aluminum it just gives water a place to collect and promote rot! That's what I call a chase job just keep chasing problems looks good!
I get the process in theory. However, in my experiences it’s not full proof for keeping out water and just ends up causing more problems. Happy to hear other people feel the same way.
As usual, your work is presented very professionally. Thanks for sharing. One question, I couldn’t see clearly if the threshold was proud without any support at the front edge. If it is, will you add the support before the metal starts bending down?
I forgot to mention this is in the video, but that side wall is framed completely out of square, so the door sits crooked. At the left side it is sitting on the pad, and then yes towards the right it starts to overhang. I might put something under that side, but the old threshold didn't have a bend in it so we'll see.

Good job!
Thanks!
Thanks! One safety not at 5:00 - never direct a chisel in the direction of an arm, leg, or other body part. This is a lesson I learned the hard way.
I learned that lesson in kindergarten and still don’t follow it. Yolo.

Thanks
The home improvement division of HBW, Inc. is coming along nicely! Great job!
Not my favorite division, but a necessity.
Great job!! This could easily be a two person job, and you handled it nicely.
For all of us that work alone I feel like most of these jobs are a two person job. And we just think of ways to get it done.
Great work ! It is such a pleasure to watch you do your projects, thank you for the video.
Once again, GREAT job! Looks so nice.
NIcely done!
Nice work!
Thanks
Home repair never stops. I am on year 36 and still finding things to fix. I guess that’s to be expected when your house is a 106 years old.
I used to live in one of those. Always fun seeing over a hundred years of bad DIY.
Nice work, love it ❤
Good job Sweety.😊❤

Good stuff - thanks!
Crappy job to repair but the finished product looks great.
Not the most fun, especially since I was hoping to just get away with replacing the brickmold.
Hello, how many days a week do you spend in your shop? How many hours per day do you spend? Minus the DYI work.
Too many & too much.
