Why Installing Windows is the EASIEST It's EVER BEEN! 

It doesn't get better than this. The Build show and Stud Pack working together!!!

Pretty sure collabs like this are how you actually, in fact, break the internet! LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

10 minutes into the video and that's by far the most work I've ever seen Matt do 😂

I'd schedule the drywall delivery for day before window install. Get that drywall 10 ft + back from the window openings and being paranoid... cover it with plastic just in case the window installation is delayed. Fewest problems to overcome.

31:00 I use a screen spline tool to roll backer into place. Doesn't cut the foam and gets it seated in tight places! Great tool!

Before I retired about two years ago, I was a professional window cleaner. I recommend that you remove the stickers before you install the big windows. Hopefully, they just peel right off. If not, be >>extremely careful

What an awesome collaboration. It's great to see Matt at the Stud Pack Project. So many great tips and techniques discussed. Those are beautiful windows with fiberglass frame and texture. Great job, Jordan on picking and buying the great windows. Nice lexel caulking, Paul. "Think like a rain drop" Pressure sensitive adhesive "PSA" Have an awesome trip back to Austin, Matt! GRK Cabinet Screws - who knew? Those are awesome! Too bad not black, not that it would make any difference, cuz you won't see them. Backing rod is an awesome tip. Look forward to seeing those massive windows get installed. Awesome video Stud Pack Team 👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰

I like to use a piece of beveled cedar siding on the sill before I put the tape on the rough opening. It provides a slope to direct the water to the outside. I do the same for doors as well.

This collaboration is EPIC !!!!! Two of my favorite builders in one show, this is a good day, Many Thanks to Paul and Jordan to invite Mr. Build Show himself to your dreamhouse build, many thanks too Matt for assisting our boys from stud pack. I've been a fan of these two builders for years now and they have taught me a lot, I mean a lot. Thanks again, and as Joe Dirt would say, KEEP ON, KEEPING ON guys don't ever stop building.

Pro tip when using shims. Instead of forcing it up the way u did you could of slipped the 3rd shim in between the other two and tapped it in gently with a hammer until you got it where u wanted

Great job having Matt on your build, I've been following him for 5 or 6 years and I started following you guys late last year, keep up the great work and we'll be looking for you on Matt's channel.

4:28 I like how they make you use a calculator to figure things out. The factory could just print "R-3.5" or "22%" on the label, but no, they have to be cryptic. 😂

Seeing the quality and craftsmanship that Stud Pack puts into each job, has made a stamp on all carpenters of better knowledge. Having Stud Pack shows the right way the job should be done right. Learning different skills and products to make carpentry a word and not abuse or short-cut corners. While his family learns from building inspectors about shoring up a wall and meeting the challenge head-on. While getting the bracing to do it right without the walls falling down. Then bringing other people on the show to understand their skills too. As a carpenter, each time I watch your shows, it brings excitement to me. I want to be a part of your building of this house in Theory, but watching your shows is still the best treatment. Keep up the Best Work. Thank You

Love this Colab! Two of my favorite construction guys!

I was the shop foreman at Pella of Georgia for 14 years having left them in 1996. When I left there ALL of their windows were stain grade wood on the inside and only had wood or aluminum clad exterior. Plus all products left our shop with jamb extensions applied to suit its installation location. Seeing these fiberglass units makes me feel the need to check them out, even though I am not going to be doing more windows in my lifetime, too old for that now. But I have 43 windows and 9 exterior doors ( employee discount ) in my house built in '86 and no issues with them at all.

To get the sheet rock upstairs, just have it delivered downstairs and then get Matt back, to lug it up the stairs.

I vote for getting the drywall delivered before you put in the windows.

I remember some of pauls first videos and how shy and quiet he was. Amazing to see the growth from 5k subscribers to where you are now. proud of you guys. keep up the good work!

Coach is best explaining everything. He doesn’t need to do the work JUST explain it. Why? He is a natural teacher! Great episode

Seeing you guys with Matt made gave me goosebumps. His channel and yours, as well as Scott Brown Carpentry are the best on RU-vid. Keep up the great work!

Broooooooooo Matt is in the house!? He is a GIANT in the build community. What a collab!!!

Nicely done. I used Pella years ago for my garage/recording studio and was happy with the soundproofing provided by the double-glaze using differing thicknesses of glass. Best windows I ever saw were in Amsterdam where I lived for six years -- triple-glazed tilt and turn. They could open every which way and since I'd been raised strictly with double-hung, it was quite an eye opener.

If the lift is low enough to go through the garage doors, why not drive all the way through the garage then lift the drywall through the doorway to the deck in the back? Love the channel! Y’all do exceptional work!! You inspire us all to be particular about the details!!! Keep up the great work!!

Sweet! You guys have hit the big time. Build Show approved! I installed Impervia's in my house up in Mass. Not sure those screws were available then and I definitely caused some slight damage on a couple. Thankfully on the 2nd story. Fiberglass is great cuz the welds stay strong - unlike vinyl. They'll keep their stats as they age. You could start with a vinyl window that has a better rating and after the first year or 2 it's performing worse. The other thing I like is they're not flimsy. Didn't struggle as much with them racking or bowing. They did a little, but we just dialed it in. No regrets other than double-pane. I think I would have done triple if I did it again. Probably code now with 2023 IECC released and adopted.

It was great seeing Matt Risinger on the Studpack show!…I’ve watched him for more than 5 years and learned a ton of stuff from him. It helped me when I had my house built in 2020. He’s the best home builder around!…I also love watching your channel, I’ve learned a lot, I enjoy how honest and hard working you guys are. Paul is actually smarter than he takes credit for. Ton of experience there!…Love all you guys!…😎

Good to see Stud Pack and Matt together!

SO freaking cool to see Matt on the channel!!! Welcome to TX you couple of Cajuns (and haole boy Braddah Rad 🤙🏽)

This channel has me checking for new videos constantly. Glad to see videos coming out so frequently!

I have installed windows for a few decades. I always leave shims in and cut them flush or rip some small blocks to fit. I have seen more window frames sag either due to size or heat over time. Especially vinyl and fiberglass. Or some guys fill with a low expansive spray foam. I started typing this before I saw the backer rod going in ... so that's nice to see. I also check the vertical plumb with a level and check for square by pulling a tape corner to corner. I have seen my share of Pella windows a bit on the trapezoid side. And Pella is my favorite windows period.

Love the technique here! I'd personally wipe the squeeze-out of the adhesive away before applying the ZIP tape but it really does not matter. Keep up the good work!

I love me Pella windows and Doors. After installing hundreds of cheap vinyl builder grade windows in other peoples homes, I went with Pella in my house. Never been happier with a window.

GRK cabinet screws are great. Compatible with treated wood too.

This is one of the cleanest installs I've seen while perusing videos today. Kudos for your professionalism.

Those tempered windows are looking sweet, can't wait to see how you do the big ones and what your plan is for the patio door! I'd love to see more collabs with Matt as well, you guys work great together.

When I started having more carpel tunnel symptoms, I got myself an electric caulk gun. My god, I should have gotten it so much earlier. I know you can't feel the caulk the same way, but once you get the hang of it, it's the most uniform application of caulk. It gets to the point where running with a finger barely adjusts the shape and I have very little I wipe/waste. Worth a shot in my opinion.

First Time I ever heard of the Zip system was with @buildshow Matt was helping @demolitionranch Matt seal up The Abandoned Mansion project ..

Kudos to Matt for coming out and helping the boys. Nice

i was hoping it was going to be matt risinger...i found his channel thanks to stud pack via the algo. love you both...big ass smile on my face watching the first window get fitted

This episode has been a long time coming. Collaborations are awesome to see between builders.

30:31 A good Boom Truck driver should be able to do it in a breeze (I would come in straight and once he gets to the opening you pivot the load and slide it in halfway in the opening)

I love the recent guest appearances. You guys mixing it up with Matt and his channel is awesome! Love Matt's channel too. Amazing videos from both teams!

I think I saw this right, but I love Paul's face when Matt drove in one of the window screws on an angle...😂

Man, you guys have come such a long way since I first started watching your channel. Glad to see a family working and learning together. Also glad to see all of the content creators working together. My wife and I are glued to the TV every time you release a new video. Keep up the amazing work.

Most window tint companies carry an almost fully transparant film that will cut around 80% of the UV and heat. I had it installed on my truck but it is also installed in homes. My truck used to burn me up here in the south until I installed the film. 3M makes it just search for "window tint anti heat" and the link to 3M will come up. This added to the Pella rating will make that house easy-easy to cool, and lower your cooling costs.

this Collab is so awesome to see. seeing such high praise from matt shows the level of work you both have put in.

Two well spoken, highly competent experts. Bob Villa started build eduction TV decades ago. These gentlemen carry on that tradition well.

may god bless your new home. keep it up gents

I normally don't comment, but I am sub'd to both channels. This is, by far, the most that I've ever laughed on either channel.

"Hey, are those windows tempered glass? Make sure they are!" 🤣

Oh wow these two fellas mess so good !! Matt’s show is great as well ! Honestly I never even thought about this team-up but what a great surprise !! Thanks guys for your time and devotion to skilled trade . I’ve been first time renovating way above my pay grade for the last year and half . Watching both channels . I’m a mechanical fella . Y’all helped me find a love to build !! Thank you !

Long time fans of both, but 30 plus years in custom home building. I do not agree with the screws being used. I back cut the flange on the nail strip and thickness of fastener used to keep window trim as flush to wall as possible. Roofing nails work the best in my opinion. Usually 1 blade width of back cut on a table saw takes care of that otherwise great job and well sealed.

Stud Pack wins the internet today... Matt Risinger is the bomb... So good to see him doing a site visit! Great job on the windows... textbook install and then some! If the drywall crane can get lined up right at the corner, he can likely articulate the boom right around the corner, and drop the leading edge of the rock right into that bridge opening. As long as the ground is solid enough, and he can get lined up right. It'll be fine. That one tree might be in the way of the truck to get him lined up though. I do think he will need to have the front of the crane in plane with the side wall of the garage.

What did Matt think of your eaves? He was the first guy I saw talking about air barriers and conditioning the entire interior space. He build his house without eaves and then added a second set of roof framing that added more insulation to the roof and provided the rafter tails for the eaves.

It is awesome to watch you guys using premium stuff installed in the most premium way. Zip , Advantech, pella, Big Stretch, GRK’s top notch

Excellent idea on the drywall delivery. Shouldn't be a problem loading from that location.

Hey StudPack! Enjoyed the latest video! The guest appearance by Matt R from the BuildShow was a pleasure. It was really neat to see these two channels "join forces" and put the window(s) in! The combined amount of experience is always good to see! A quality learning experience watch the windows going in! Wish I could offer some thoughts on the drywall delivery - I'd normally say: Absolutely! BUT, going out over the roof *might* be a challenge. You'll find out!

My 2 fav guys in utube..big fan for years . Hey stud packers in this epos. u got d best guy: the builder.

Great looking windows, have you tried suction cups for glass, for lifting & installing the windows ? They even make battery pumped ones now.

I'm glad you guys went with Pella, I sold them for year and have them in my house. I always loved them.

backer rod is essential for any joint over 1/8. Both silicone and urethane are only rated for a depth of up to 1/4 inch, otherwise they will not keep a seal with expansion/contraction.

best part of my week is definitely stud pack episodes. love the collab. if jordan needs any help with some online grunt work i'd love to help anyway i can.

Certainly looks like a snow fall. Definitely informative stuff today as usual . Thanx to Pack & Matt

As a person that works at Lowe’s Millwork dept, wish I had that sale! I am a huge Pella fan, and I always try to get people to understand that advantages of the fiberglass. Great call Jordan!

Been watching you for years, you are just the best!

I love it, I have a storage case full of all the different lengths and styles of GRK screws. I especially like the washer or flange head you use on windows for that same reason. They have a small diameter shank will not split wood like many other brands, yet they are strong and grip well. I only wish they made them in Stainless steel options. Keep up the great work, I love what you guys do!!

The proper knuckle picker boom trucks should have no problem getting at that bridge opening. They can handle a ton of weight on a straight lift but if they have to reach fairly far they might just load say 4 sheets at a time as opposed to 8.

The look on his face when the guy said " we don't have to make sure it's perfectly square" 😂😂😂 nodded in agreement but the look on his face was thinking otherwise.

One idea is to move the drywall to the back yard, then to the deck,then inside. Love the vids good job :)

Hey!! We have dear friends who’s son works in IT at Pella!!! They really do make a wonderful window.

Matt is a true professional. Smart and Practical. His content is always top shelf. Great to see you teaming up.

I've been watching Matt for many years and not once did he pick up a screw gun........ Matt must really like stud pack! Great collaboration guys. I love both of your channels

I love this series, watching the house go from nothing to something so nice looking has been amazing to see. also I work with deliveries at a building supply store, I've seen a boom truck get drywall into weirder places than that door you were thinking so it shouldn't be an issue

Another great vid today, guys! Question, will you put up a vid sowing the plumbing being roughed in?

Props to Matt, Paul, and jordan for still filming in the rain. The show must go on!!!

Very nice window installing. At 1 point U guys said...it will be a roof on top of the window....meaning, won't be any water issue in this window. But some contractors take advantage of this....& just drop the window in, a few screws, no silicone or taping. Here, U guys show the right way....& it's the way I like it. Good team work.....& I know I can learn from U, watching more Videos. Thank U...!

I've had a tough day. I needed this little ray of sunshine. I'll even tolerate Matt.

This is the one colab I was really wanting to happen! Great job guys! Keep it up

Carrying that window for a few seconds and helping install it is the most labor work Matt has done all year.

This video is LIFE!! Loved the interaction between Paul and Matt I wish RU-vid had a ❤ button

Somehow I just knew Matt was gonna show up eventually!!!

stud pack and build show heck yeah!... i started in austin and dallas 40 yrs ago and have been in houma for the last 10... big sashco fan too

Fiberglass windows have been my go to window for over 25 years. In my experience Marvin was slightly less expensive.

@18:06 Tape peeling after a paint/caulk job, especially when the it all comes off in one continuous piece, SO SATISFYING.

So, Did you use tempered glass? 😀🤣😁 (sorry couldn't resist being that guy)

Awesome guest Paul. I watch as many of Matt’s videos as I do y’all’s. Y’all are building a “Super House “ and can’t wait to see it to the end.

How about get the drywall in there before you put the windows in. Maybe stack it on something to keep it off the floor. Throw a tarp over it just so you know it won’t get wet while you’re getting it totally dried in.

First video I ever saw from Stud Pack, he was showing how to make an extension cord with a metal 2 gang box with a GFI . I made one myself, works great and I now enjoy all his other videos . As far as Matt, love the Build Show, learned so much from his many videos, thumbs up, Matt, great channel . BTW, I was so pleasantly surprised to see Matt in this Stud Pack video !!

I think you can open up the bridge door as an access port just fine

This is the mashup that needed to happen. Awesome collab!

These guys, doing true craftsman work, AND making awesome videos to share it with everyone. The world needs more like them.

I love that my 2 favourite US building shows have a video working together.

I dont doubt they could fork the dry wall on to the old houses roof but can the old houses roof actually support all that dry wall is another question.

Great job team Stud Pack! I wish many contractors out there do their job correctly the first time as it's their own house and we will not be the second highest complaint industry with the Better Business Bureau. 😊

What an excellent show with Matt Risinger chiming in with building science wisdom

Wow! I just started watching and am beyond happy to see Matt Risinger on your channel. You guys just went into a next level territory! So very happy for you guys and still waiting for all your episodes as must watch. So happy to watch the rest kf this episode. 👍🏼👍🏼

Why not get the drywall delivered now, before you fit the windows....

Matt's a "perfect wall" guru,super impressed with his commitment to excellence....great seeing him with "the pack"👍

Does Jordan just film because he is unsure on how to do the DIY things? Maybe we need Dad behind the camera one day and see a full day of Jordan :)

So cool with the collaboration!! Well done guys.

I've read through most of the comments and seen, lots of, and justly deserved congrats. As for the drywall, having done it for several years. No I would not recommend the unloader try threading the needle with your drywall through the cut out. Yes it will create a pile up and a work around inconvenience for a short time. But straight up and in the center window. And for the cost of rental Go Get A SkyTrac with a man cage to install those windows.
