I really appreciate the time and effort you put into showing ALL the steps and issues hanging a new door. I have a slab I absolutely love but the jambs and threshold need to go and I know it's going to be a pain but it'll be worth it. Thankfully I have a decent impact 😁
Absolutely. It works well with roller covers as well. Just wrap the paint covered roller in plastic wrap and you can go a week or more between coats without having to clean them out or use a new one.
I’ve started using a v notch tile trowel to flush trim my notably generous applications of spray foam. A Japanese saw isn’t a bad idea either! That free door is coming along nicely.
A v-notch trowel is a great idea. I just use the saw so I can catch the shims at the same time. I'm not good at the score-and-snap. I always end up with splinters protruding.
i think they have that pink putty backwards it should go on white and dry pink .if your doing alot of primed trim and you miss sanding a spot it flashes through the pain bad.
Very good video! i don't normally press the like button often but you got one for great results. I however think your in jeopardy of giving up a Mancard using that hammer sideways. LOL
Hey Dave, Thanks fr the video. Is it necessary to caulk the aluminum flashing at the top of the window? meaning caulking the flashing to the brick? Thanks.
I usually take a day just for the door jamb. But that’s because I work slow, get distracted, run errands, forget things, and sometimes filming what I’m doing. A pro could definitely do the whole jamb and trim in one day, maybe a half day. Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment.
I don't have a table saw ): to run trim through Any suggestions? Also I would sand first before caulking or run the risk of accidentally scraping smooth caulk with the sanding block/paper & messing it up
It would depend on how good you are with a circular saw or even a hand saw. I have ripped multiple boards down to size with a handsaw (for window jamb extensions on a bank of 4 windows-- I wish I'd made a video of that) and it didn't take long. But you would also need to plane or sand the edges smooth afterwards. -- good tip about the sanding :-)
I'd use a block plane to take it down a little. A miter saw would definitely be better, and I have a miter box and power miter saw, but sometimes I need to satisfy an urge to do some freehand sawing. Thanks for the comment!
Good question, Paige. It's just a piece of 1x material (1x6 I think) to help bridge the gap and make the brickmold trim land in the right place. Since trim is not structural, you can (and sometimes must) be creative to make the finished product look right. The double reveal (quirk) I used was really only to widen the trim as well, so that the sides could reach the brick. If the space between the jamb and brick had been smaller, I would have been able to to nail the brickmold directly to the jamb without using the extra filler pieces. Hope this helps (and wasn't too much info.)!
workmanship looks great, try to get a sturdier camera mount, a little shacky, dont get too fancy with transitions and toss on some copyright free music, and this video would be more eye catching. Keep up the awesome stuff.
For the record, I disagree with the music. It’s distracting in my opinion. Except for the trip to the hardware store, I liked hearing just the ambient noise.
I says to myself; " Why doesn't he just use a thingamajigumm to do that part, why I'd use a doodad and instead of doing that part like that I woulda used a what chamacallit, but NO!!!" then it dawned on me,,,This guy is showing how easy this job is to dems what's knows what they're doing, and he is just first of all showboating his skills but most of all this guy is enjoying what he's doing, Fine hands craftsman is what they call guys like this.
Ha ha! Thanks for all that, Henry. Sometimes I just get the urge to feel a handsaw cutting through wood, and I figured, if I enjoy it, maybe someone else would too. I can watch Mr. Chickadee cutting wood all day long!
Juvenile black rat snake. Pretty common around here. They loose those markings as they grow until they're almost completely black. Thanks for the comment, hm G!
