In this video, I show you an easy way to trim out a window. The method that I used is called picture framing. I used a 2 1/2" colonial casing that you can find at your local home improvement store or lumber yard.

I genuinely love how you talk to the audience like we don't know what to do/how to do it, but not like we are dumb. You actually explain things in a way that makes sense. You are better than 99% of the teachers I've had.

@sarahd8518 17 дней назад

Yes! I agree. Of all the window trim videos I've watched, yours is the best!

@jimaronson2323 Год назад

I felt that "oh crap" feeling when the nail shot through the wood. That's the kind of thing that happens to me all the time. Your 45s turned out really good, nice fit. Great video as always.

Nice job. It’s good to see someone who knows how to do the job the right way. Some videos I’ve seen, the guy is clueless. But the problem is that people are telling them what a good job and don’t know the difference.

@lynnew5619 Год назад

I really like those window ‘frames’. We don’t generally do that in the UK, but when my kitchen was done, I asked my carpenter to do this to my window and everybody loves it. 👏 Now to do all my other windows….😂 You do have a brilliant way of teaching without making watchers feel stupid.

@candicespencer2021 Год назад

That looks so good! Now it’s time for the twin baby cribs!

@golefevre Год назад

Finish nails always bend to the left or right from the nail driver head. If you can rotate the gun 90 degrees before nailing, that can prevent nails from coming through the finished face of the casing.

@Darryl603 Год назад

You can use your combination square set to 1/4" to hold your reveal even as you follow the trim up with your nail gun.

00:50 Windowsill is what you see from an exterior view looking at the lower part of the window. Window stool is the interior view of lower horizontal part at the bottom of a window opening while looking at it from the inside of the structure. Apron is the flat surface part on the wall.

@jodifinnegan4453 Год назад

Wow! I've never heard the term window stool. Thanks!

@henrythe83rd18 Год назад

@@jodifinnegan4453 YVW! Yeah many use the term windowsill for both but the industrial proper term is sill for the outside and stool for the inside section.

I'm watching before bed, after taking my ambien so I can accomplish this tomorrow- and I am major confused about his term of rip it. I thought he meant cut, but then he used it when he was back at the window saying you can just rip it this way... and now I'm clueless af again. I'll have to watch again in the morning

@Paine137 Год назад

Looks great, and thanks for the workflow. Remember that brads can move left or right when fired, not up or down, so always orient the nailer horizontally and it’ll save some trouble.

When the nail blew out the face of the trim i really felt your pain. Trim overall looks good though

@TheFixerHomeRepair Год назад

😁🤣 it is the worst when that happens!

@brentmchenry9273 Год назад

Keep making amazing videos!! If nailing near an edge, I always try to angle the the nailer toward the window than at a perfect 90 with the piece since the nail will have more of a chance of blowing out toward the back of the piece than the front. Not a huge amount, only 2-3 degrees of angle off the 90. A hair, maybe

@Millerman57 2 месяца назад

Looks good. I have recently learned what this style and am doing it on a sunroom addition. Great video. Subbed.

Yes. You make great videos. Completely covering what and why you are doing what you do. I couldn't have felt worse if the nail came sneaking through the front of my window frame. I thought things like that happen only to me. Thanks, now I feel a little better. 🙃 Nice video. I have watched a lot of your' how to vids. I like to see how others do things.

@hellojohnhello89 Год назад

another thing about the 1 7/8 vs 2 inch difference, if someone has a hand router and a flush trim bit, they can simply cut them at 2 inches, then trim up the wall to make it perfect. the outer trim would easily flex to suit it. anyways, still loving your videos. been following you for ages. cheers

Just what I needed to know. I have a bunch of windows to do and have never done it before....

@Crazy_Space80 Год назад

I'm watching a video from another continent. It is interesting to study American architecture and construction. Work as a painter-plasterer. Here winters are up to -12C /10F Here, too, before the gap between the frame and the wall was caulked with various materials. But polyurethane foam has shown better efficiency, space filling, less wind blowing + it perfectly glues, fixes the frame in the opening. The mounting foam inside the room is covered with a self-adhesive, aluminum-coated tape.

Best $50 I ever spent was on the Pro foam gun with the screw on cans. If someone doesn't have one, they need to get one . Even for the do it yourselfer!!

@UlisesYaniz 6 месяцев назад

Would the same apply for an application where the window is finished with drywall returns? Would I measure left/right & top/bottom and cut jamb extension to those measurements? Or allow some wiggle room to shim?

@arosenberger87 Год назад

I think the reason why people use a lot of spray foam it's because it's cheap and easy to use. The problem is if someone wants to use fiberglass insulation they have to buy huge role just insulate around a small window. Especially if they're just replacing a window and not replacing the insulation in the entire wall. I made the decision to use to Rockwool instead of regular fiberglass insulation because it was a higher R-value than fiberglass. Unfortunately, it made it difficult for me to insulate around my Windows. For me, I find Rockwool to be harder to stuff between the framing and the frame of the window, especially if the gaps were small. I personally used a can of spray foam just to be sure that all the gaps were sealed. I mean, I could see through the gap to the outside. In spring, I will be adding caulk around the windows because I see the flaw now. The windows were replaced 16 years ago, but the outside trim left open the corners, so direct path for air and bugs to enter. Since filling with foam, no more drafts. I am replacing insulation because I had cardboard wall panels instead of drywall and insulation is cheap when you have the walls open already. Also, I split an electric circuit between 2 bedrooms into 2 separate circuits and left the original line as a dedicated outdoor outlet since it has been tied into the bedroom circuit. There was evidence of past electrical fires. How fun. I thank you for doing this video. I still have not done trim, but was going back and forth on picture frame or sill style... Now I am positive I am doing picture frame, but I am going to do more of a craftsman style with a larger top that overhangs the styles. But this gives me the idea I needed to get it done.

@Yettee0201 10 месяцев назад

More than likely the brad shot out because you didn’t have you nail gun turned 90 degrees. So the chisel tip of the brad when it came up against the resistance of the wood deflected left or right, right in this case. And that’s why it popped through.

@@TheFixerHomeRepair That it does. I started to use a lot of painters tape around windows and doors when using it. Thank for the reply. I used to get houses ready to be put on the market, and I enjoy watching videos like yours to inspire me to make improvements around my own house. Great work.

@buckchase1 Год назад

@@dgribbleco If you don't have it, get the Pro foam gun with screw on cans. You can control the flow to the smallest amount and it doesn't go bad if you leave it in the gun. You just have clean up the tip with some acetone.
