    I can promise you 99.9% of people will never ever walk into that room and notice whatever imperfections you're worried about on your repair job, however a much, much larger percentage of people WOULD immediately have noticed the large gaping space. Your job looks great. That's a good gain by the numbers. Thank you for the advice🙂

      It's funny because I point things out to home owners all the time. I've worked in trades and continue to from time to time and I always find the stories interesting. Most of the time people like talking to me about it because it is almost a stress reliever.

    Another tip also, when you have a gap that big you should fill 3/4 of it with that clay filler they sell at hardware stores. They are super cheap. Then you should put wood filler over it. Doing this will give it better uniformity and also give it more stable foundation for the wood filler to mold to...

    I have so much respect for you! I’ve been in construction and the handyman business for about 40 years full and part time… and I must say that you did a fantastic job both in your technique and your verbal commentary to describe what you are doing and why! Bravo! No it’s not perfect, but it’s more than most people will try to do! Love and friendship to you! PS, I love your accent btw 😉

      @lootninja ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey O’ Danny Boy, question after I use a wood filler and sand it down then let it cure is it possible I can drill holes and place a hinge then attach it to a storm door? A chunk of wood came out of the bottom hinge area and the storm door creaks and is very annoying and doesn’t close at all.

    Thanks for the video Tuba. It helped me a lot! I love your humor with the snow & flower. I'm a perfectionist and I drive myself crazy.

    Thanks for the video. Planned on sealing a few gaps and will definitely use wood filler instead of the crappy spray foam. The end result looks so much cleaner the way you do it.
