You have a gentle and loving nature with your kids. That’s just so endearing to see. Oh, and I like your attention to detail to your work. Well done.

@dearontufankjian9823 Год назад

Pretty good install, if you didn’t weather seal the wood opening before installing the window. Trust me, water will get behind the brick and molding, and just get in contact with the wood framing. You need to waterproof at the wood framing first, then at the exterior cladding. But if the window doesn’t see too much water due to having a large overhang or something protecting it from water, you should be fine.

@jorgexcalderonful 4 года назад

I hope you are planning to insulate the window at some point. To help control water outside, it's best to install the bottom sill first and have the two verticals sit on top. Great vids look forward to more content .

@TM_Stone 3 года назад

He didn't mention it. Caulking alone is not weatherproofing a window. OSI Quad foam or similar needs to be applied in the gap between the 2x4s and the window to seal it.

@MrPostFrame 4 года назад

@drnickriviera8270 3 года назад

Good tutorial just one thing. It looks like you only caulked the pvc trim and not the window itself. That only gives you one exterior layer of protection from the water if it runs on the face of the window. Doesn’t protect if water runs behind the brick trim and directly onto the window itself. What y’all will want to do is once the window is set inject your low expansion foam (there are foams specifically for this job) then caulk the window frame from the outside. Apply your trim and then caulk that too. This gives you two layers of caulk protection on the exterior. Once this is done you can repeat the same steps from the inside.

@ThinkLiveLife 4 года назад

I dont understand the idea of using trim as your water proofing layer. Brick is permeable and the water is behind the brick not in front of it. Also sealing the bottom of the window traps water that would normally drain from having a tilted sill. I kinda think this window will have significant water damage under it in 10 years and only prevent direct rain while doing nothing for vapor or the moisture that condenses. Might work in super dry climates like Arizona?

@nickdewalt4526 2 года назад

I agree. Also caulking the lintel traps water and causes them to rust out.

@MAGAMAN 3 года назад

Seems like a window with exterior flashing would have been a better choice. You also didn't use any kind of tape or wrap to protect the wood. That wood is probably going to rot out again in another 10 years.

@patriciarambert9261 Год назад

No flashing or wrap? Is there an overhang above the window why you did that?

So you've only used brickmould as outside trim? No bent aluminum? I've had nightmares trying to aluminum flash trim outside windows, and your method seems a hundred times easier. Very good video, even as a novice "handyman" myself, you make stuff look super easy.

Shad S. Thanks. I use the pvc brick mold. If it would have been wood brick mold I would have bent aluminum around it but that is a lot of extra work so I try and use pvc molding for applications like this.

Hello and thanks for posting this helpful video. In my two story brick home, two of the windows are in dormers with new vinyl siding facing out onto the roof with a steep pitch. Can I do a replacement entirely from the inside? I'm not anxious to work on a project like this from on the roof because of safety concerns. Thanks.

@fr8doggr551 4 года назад

How did you trim out the interior of the window? There is a gap between the window and the inside drywall where the window trim goes. My install looks like yours, but I am not sure how to take up that 1/2 inch drywall return space.

@MrPostFrame 4 года назад

Nick Palermo you have to take a piece of wood and rip it so it’s butts up against window and sits flush with the drywall, that makes your jamb then your casing goes up against that piece. I believe that’s what your asking.

Okay so we bought a house that was built in 1981 and we definitely have to change the windows. My husband says we have to cut the brick to do so because it has a metal frame. I don't like the idea of cutting the brick because they dont make the same type of brick the house has now and we would have to put in rock to fill in the whole. Is there a way that we don't need to cut the brick around the windows?

@ericmoye8539 4 года назад

No he dosen't have to cut the brick of anything he can cut the mortar out that way you can save the brick. I have a brick home with the metal frame but between the brick there's wood so no don't cut the brick and your right new brick will not match the old

Thanks so much! Your video was really helpful! Do you have one for how to measure when you have to order windows? If not can you please explain how to measure? Should you measure inside or outside? Oh and say hi to Hunter!

@MrPostFrame 5 лет назад

Niece Hartley I do not have a video for measuring. I always measure from the inside of the house. If your trim is off you can measure the rough opening but if it’s not you can measure from jamb to jamb. You just have to make sure you tell the store your ordering from whether it’s a rough opening measurement or from jamb to jamb. If you google how to measure for a replacement window there are lots of pictures that might help. Next time I replace a window I will make a video for measuring. Thanks for watching.

Can you remove the window shims after the foam is dry?

@drnickriviera8270 3 года назад

Typically the shims are put where the screw holes are placed. This way the screw can’t warp the window frame if you happen to tighten them too much. If you’re doing retrofit jobs like this one you wanna make sure and order retrofit windows without a nail flange. These come with predrilled holes for fastening.

Why didn’t you put moisture tape just asking cause I have brick house and I need to replace 15 windows

@MrPostFrame 4 года назад

I’ve got this question a lot. I should have talked about this in the video. My feeling (my opinion) is that applying window tape in this specific situation does not help because if water gets through sill and hits the tape it just runs the water down the wall between the sheathing and brick. This house was not wrapped with house wrap as it was built in the 70’s and has that black particle board sheathing. I have had two brick houses that I have replaced windows in this manor and have had no problems. There are multiple ways you can do this so you have to decide what works for you.

mindorable1 I appreciate your comments. The windows serve a garage, bathroom, and living area. As I said in the video the windows were already purchased when I bought the house. As for the type of window someone puts in a house I feel that’s a personal preference based on your experience with a specific window, climate, desired look, or even the maintenance required.
