Installing Windows & Exterior Doors on ICF Home--Perfect DIY for every level of builder 

I am in the exact same stage as you in my icf build. I just did the doors last weekend and started the doors yesterday. I did the same with the liquid flashing because tape wouldnt stick to the foam well, even after cleaning. I also didnt use the silcon between the window and the buck I just taped the window to the liquid flashing. I set my doors to the outside. I was worried they wouldnt be able to open wide because that is what everyone says but I can open them all further than what I have ever needed to open a door. I too used the laser.

Stucco is porous, just like siding, its merely meant to serve as armor for the actual moisture barrier. While the window nail strips may have "bedded" in the Blue Barrier I would reccomend either a line of zip tape over the nail strip, if you can get it to stick, or another layer of liquid flash to get you belt and suspenders water proofing.

I am really enjoying your videos. We should be breaking ground on our DIY ICF house in a month or so, so I am eating up your content. And I appreciate the humor. Well done!

We used Nudura icf blocks and they sell Tremco's Dymonic 100 for liquid flashing. We were really impressed with it. Thanks for keeping it real on what does and doesn't work on your build. We bought european windows & gave them the opening measurements, but there was 1/2" gap on all sides (really too big for shims), so we had some composite decking material and sawed it down into blocks which worked great, then added a shim on those when needed. Keep up the good work!

I used LP weather logic liquid flashing from Amazon. Seemed a lot cheaper. Started using on sunny day around 25F takes longer to dry due to cold temp but seems to work fine. Started snowing half way done so didn’t finish. I think it can be applied at even colder temps as long as 20oz sausage is kept warm prior to applying. The ICF blocks I’m using are polyurethane so a little different block. Sticks fine to polyurethane from what I can tell. Likely would be okay with polystyrene.

about how much blue barrier did you use per window?

Instead of using the zip tape around the windows, what about just continuing with the blue barrier liquid flash onto the edges of the window as you would the tape?
