@TechnologyConnections would tell you to install an awning over those windows! As is, the sunlight enters your house, heats up the blinds, and the blinds heat up the room. Awnings block the sun before it gets inside all your fancy insulation, which ends up holding the heat in.
A trellis awning with vines growing on it could look pretty nice...
Future video potentially!
Just seen that video, he was on to something
Wow. I was gonna post the same thing. His video on it is awesome and makes a huge amount of sense for Texas. I live in West Texas where it’s like a dessert. Big windows like what’s on this project will cook you in your house.
I love his channel, such a treasure
Tinting would be better, Awnings look terrible, tinting looks good and blocks out the heat.
Might want to consider window tinting. It really helps with stopping sun fading. We added tinting with blinds to be able to have the blinds partially open for light yet have the protection on sunny days. Blocks UV rays.
Definitely, with a little mirroring.
If you go back to the episode when they installed the windows with the Matt Risinger collab, they discuss the numbers of how much the window filters out the heat from the sun. According to the numbers, it's pretty high, so I don't think that tinting would do much more than what they have built into the window.
@@amandah.5712 sure. Still, some mirroring and tinting will add privacy.
Did they talk about UV in that video?
The windows already have low E3 w/argon. Any film will compromise that. Those windows insulate nearly as well as the walls.
@@scottsolar5884 I don't think a bit of extra reflectivity would hurt anything. Insulation, in my view, wouldn't include the energy introduced by letting in light- just t1 -> t2.
For the future house gutter, you may want to think about catching that water to use it for watering the landscape (with automation)
This is a great idea!
Thanks for warning us about ikea. The gutter guys seems so sincere & professional.
Absolutely fantastic, we’ve had them about 2 years, no issues batteries last for ages and we just use a power pack to charge them…
Free unbiased second opinion which isn’t cash backed….
I know that’s not common in the US but in France we have exterior shutters which can be roller. That’s the best way to stop the heat outside the house. In your case the sun and the heat is already in.
As usual nice details. Paul goes always one step further 👍🏻
Greetings from France
The Zebra blinds look great! Y'all should wire low voltage to the windows just under the headers when you do the house so the future electric/smart blinds can be hard wired rather than requiring recharging. :)
That's exactly what we did but our motors are 240v.
I'm going through our entire house and trying to make as many things as low maintenance as possible.
The idea of needing to charge my blinds is a huge deal breaker for me
Paul’s look at the camera while Jordan explains the difficulties of inserting the fridge - priceless! ❤
It honestly feels like yesterday that the garage was just a pile of dirt with some watery holes dug out of it, it's great to see the progress and to be able to see every step that you have taken, and just a reminder, we still getting a financial episode where the dollars get broken down? More curiousity then anything else, love the channels, always looking forward to new releases ❤❤❤
Probably been said, paint the hardware black that attaches the 2 door panels, or better yet just make a custom full length metal bar that's black to connect them.. then add the 2 remaining hinges in the middle there....they are already bored out... then cross your fingers it never breaks...
You could probably cut a strip of black aluminum coil and screw it to the inside of each door with countersink flathead screws. It doesn’t take much to increase stiffness vertically and it would also cover that gap.
I really have to take my hat off to you guys. The trim on the gutter really looks great and makes a difference.
Best series on TH-cam. No question.
This is more important for the main house (which will have more surface area than the garage) but in general, if you are in texas, you will want to get the water from the gutters to the road without sending it out to the yard near the house. No matter what, that water will eventually get to the road and the ocean and every time it leaves the yard, it will take a little bit of dirt with it. And all those gutters streaming water near the foundation will slowly erode that beautiful foundation work that you guys did. So definitely look into some drain lines that send the water to the road and dont use corrugated lines. Use large PVC pipes for drainage. Great stuff guys. You guys must be so excited.
That gutter crew looks amazing. Props on the work, and wishing you the best of luck on the move in. Crazy you've been living in that other place this whole time.
I can't wait to see the demo of the main house!!!
That fridge may not have come out 100% as planned but I still think it looks slick as hell. I didn't know I was the kind of person who liked their cabinets to all sort of flow together but wow do I have a dream kitchen now haha. Really can't wait to see what goes in the house now. I am so pumped for you Jordan (and Paul and Rad) to be able to move in. Livestream move in party???
It's so refreshing seeing work done well. This has become my favorite channel on TH-cam.
I've been watching since way before you guys even got this place, and it's been amazing watching you guys grow into these projects, while keeping standards top notch.
You guys really deserve everything good that comes your way.
Hey guys, fair play with the fridge. I have to say we've had integrated fridge/freezers in Europe for a long long time. In fact American style fridges came afterwards. Hahaha. And don't throw a stone at IKEA, been installing their kitchens for a while now and they are the best value for money you can get. I think you got unlucky with the fridge as it's relatively new in the US. All the best and love the blinds!
They make solar panels you can use to charge your powered window blinds so you don't have to recharge them. Just something you might want to look into for ease of use
I've had these in my great big bay window in my living room. I love em!
That blind install made me drool. As simple as it gets. What a cool product
Nice lights between the windows. I don’t remember seeing those in a video. I have an idea - when it’s done let’s have a live stream where we all crack open a cold one. You can reminisce about the good and bad things about building the garage (roses and thorns) Maybe that would be good for the other channel. Can’t wait to see the main house, buy you’ll deserve a breather.
Take those fridge doors panels off and remove the brackets and Sharpie the area you can see from the front. You'll still notice them, but they'll blend a lot better vs. that shiny metal.
Or flat black paint.
Funny they selected top of the line for everything but went cheapo IKEA on the kitchen stuff. They saved money, for sure, but, as you can see, you get what you pay for. Pretty cheesy, IMO.
@@johnvrabec9747 I challenge you to find another kitchen box maker with better warranty and build than Ikea. Here in Seattle I often visit the Design center and even the mid-range, read ~20k and up kitchens cabinets don't use solid wood cabinets. They're just similar MDF boxes. In addition to that, no custom cabinet maker can offer the door styles that Ikea AND others have that fit Ikea boxes.
@@johnvrabec9747 Since its only temporary, I get it. But I think that double-panel fridge door is going to bug them over time. My advice is replace it with a single panel before its starts to get annoying.
And use longer hardware so it's more sturdy
I did some ikea kitchens over covid. What a nightmare.
I think i went back there 100 times minimum.
Nothing was in stock and one piece at a time would become available and they would only save it for your for 48 hours. If you didnt pick it uo in that time theyd sell it to the next person, so you couldnt even risk waiting for other items to come before going to get stuff.
Hunter Douglas has power view blinds. You can choose the amount of light you want to enter the home. They run on rechargeable batteries, and at least one other way.
You can hook them up to wifi, and that way you can set the shut or open times. Mine were working great even when I was overseas!
Please review those shades after you have used them for awhile. I could see them being very useful or easy to break/damage. Thanks for the content!
Only thing I would say, from experience, is if you're going to go motorized on something like that go big brand. You'll spend way more but these motors don't last very long. Even with big brands they give you 5 years then you're on your own. Good luck getting one of these no name brands to have extra motors to provide. You'd be lucky if they even respond to your emails.
With all of the app and remote controlled smart devices that Jordan has now, he should really consider getting something like home assistant to allow him to control them from a central interface.
It should be easy for a man with his skills to find her.
All these apps are great...until you have to change your phone!
The fridge door might work better with a third hinge in one of those spare holes in the middle. Seems like they are flexing because the hinges are so far apart.
Also maybe 4 screws per UTRUSTA might help?
Paint the metal bracket hardware black, however you can see the bathroom p trap under the floating vanity, IKEA has options to hide everything like a low profile p traps.
If you don’t like the white cabinet edge visible use the soft side of .75” Velcro on the visible edge.
I love those blinds. I've had every type of window covering over the years and those zebra blinds are really cool!
That small trim detail you did was so seemingly small, but made a huge impact. This place looks killer!
I do like those, but if you want to keep the heat built up, exterior blinds would help reduce that more and help the window performance.
You said you would scorch IKEA if you didn’t get your fridge. You just did when you said, adamantly, that you would not use IKEA for ANYTHING in the house.
My favorite part of the GM (garage mahal) is the top floor back deck. The trim around the gutter looks great! Looking forward to a "5 years later" followup on how all your clever ideas for water management stand up to the tests of time and hurricane rains. I'm grateful that you're willing to run with these sorts of solutions to complicated problems that have vexed buildings since the invention of buildings.
Would love to hear about why you choose to leave it open versus adding some type of screen to manage insects. Do you plan to spend lots of time chilling out on that porch or is that a feature for the big house?
(IKEA rant deleted:)
For the main house, please consider exploring options using online cabinet builders. Even if you don't go that route, I'd find it valuable to hear why this wasn't a good option for you. I've had decent success using one out of southern CA (I live about 1000 miles away along major interstate highways, so shipping costs were reasonable). I liked being able to specify my cabinet and drawer configurations to the 1/32" and being able to make my own drawer/cabinet fronts. I saved about 70% over using local custom cabinets and got exactly what I wanted built with "Baltic Birch" quality plywood and high end hinges and slides. It seems like a good compromise between IKEA and a local custom cabinet shop for people with ordinary budget constraints - especially people willing to make their own fronts.
For the hardware you can see through the gap. Take that all back apart and put something black between it and the door to cover the gab, or paint the hardware black and put it all back together.
For cabinet doors I prefer solid dark wood ones. Any kind of vinyl coated or plastic doors are just asking for trouble. The house we moved into 8 years ago had vinyl coated wood cabinet doors and the doors to the left and right of the stove were melted. When we get enough money all the cabinet doors are getting replaced with 100% wood. Probably Cherry wood as that was what the cabinet doors had in the house we moved from. Looked really nice.
Tint your windows instead it blocks more heat than those blinds. I live in az and theres a big big difference
Not at night
I’ve recently did this and I love it
They don't darken the room enough for me. Window tint will help, I'm in AZ, too.
When we bought our house, we made sure the master bedroom was on the north side of the house so it's the coolest room in the summer. No direct sunlight at all.
Tinting isn't the best idea. Any decent window guy would not talk you into it. The heat build-up on the window tends to cause performance issues.
Block the sun before it hits the glass, especially on south-facing windows.
Not sure why, but that gutter under the deck made me happy, even before that brilliant piece of trim got installed. All for something that most people will never even see unless they know to look for it.
Love the detail! You guys are AMAZING! Time to start the main house.
You need to do a colab with one of the Homeassistant TH-camrs and have them come in and tie all those systems together and automate the heck out of that place. You've got a serious amount of tech in there, and that could all work together automatically if setup right.
I've got the desktop/electronics version of the Fanttik screwdriver, and I love it!
I live in canada and im very surprise to hear itsd your first time installing one of those "zebra" shade, in my town I'd be impress if you can find a house who doesnt have them in atleast one windows, they are so popular.
tbh I have them in all my windows and I understand why they're so popular, even the non motorized one are so much better then 'regular' ones
.jj😂🎉
J🎉j🎉v
Those are some sick blinds! Just an FYI for all the non swedish speakers "utrusta" translates to "equip".
I had the same experience with Lowes! for just Basic Whirlpool side by side Refrigerator!
Thanks for sharing all this great information.
Seeing all of the attention to detail and custom things that you all like to do. I thought I would tell you about a way to make the downspouts look a little more refined. It takes a little more effort, but it has a very nice clean finished look. It basically is a way to install them with Hidden fasteners and No straps. With each one; you have to install the bottom elbow first, by attaching it with 2 screws through the inside back wall of the downspout about an inch down from the top edge. Then, you insert the first section of downspout down into the elbow, overlapping the screws that you put into the elbow by at least an inch, so that there is no chance of leakage from the screws. And, you attach each section of downspout the same way as the bottom elbow, by inserting two screws at the top, through the inside back into the wall. Each lower piece holds the bottom of the section above it. I worked for a roofing and guttering company for a few years, and I never liked the way any of the straps looked. The type that were supposed to look more decorative that went over the downspouts and just bent out to the sides and screwed directly through them into the wall, just looked cheap and kinda sloppy to me. The same way that they did yours, is the way we did it most often, and that was better. But to me, the straps themselves looked kinda unprofessional, or like an afterthought, because they were flat straps crossing and interrupting the lines on a ribbed downspout. So, when I installed new gutters on the house that I was living in, I tried something new, and hid the fasteners like I mentioned before, and it turned out looking much more refined, without any flat straps interrupting the trim lines of the downspouts. The only screws that I did have to put in through the outside face was on the elbows and section at the top, that go between the wall downspout and the gutter, attaching them together and to them to the gutter drain insert. But, I inserted the screws at the sides, instead of the front, so they were barely visible from the ground. The only real disadvantage is that the entire downspout Cannot be removed all together in one piece. It has to be taken down in the reverse of the installation, one section at a time, from the top down. But, unless it gets damaged, or extremely clogged up, it probably won't ever need to be taken down. And even if it does, it's only a minor inconvenience. The 2 1/2 story downspouts that I installed that way on my house have been up for about 23 years, and have never had any issues, and surprisingly still look good and solid (but slightly faded).
I love the attention to detail also. My friend came to see the progress on my house and I pointed out that the doorbell button is not level. I told him "the Stud Pack guys would never put up with this." As soon as I get wifi installed I'm putting in a Ring doorbell and I make it level then.
The gutters look so awesome! Love the black color!
Being an old Pella Window employee ( left in 1996 ), I am surprised you guys did not go with their Slimshades ( blinds in between the glass ). I am all about KISS ( keep it simple stupid ). Mounting the Zebra blinds is really simple, but anything mechanical is due to fail. I was most impressed with Paul's OSHA approved work stand for installing the blinds. LOL The greatest feature about Slimshades is you never have to clean them. I have had them here in my house since 1986 and they still function perfectly and have never had to clean them. And it's impossible for small children or pets to damage them.
For that gap between the panels I would suggest installing a strip of felt tape to conceal the hardware. BIG W to the Stud Pack crew! Love the new channel!
Nah… just paint it black
@@mattwilliamson1714 The hardware? Yes that's an option too. 👍
I thought the room looked cool when you saw the entire window frame; really clean. While the blinds are trimmed in black, they definately hide the window frames. I think the main house you should trim the windows to leave a cavity above the windows to hide the blinds. When they are up, they are invisible.
The Studpack Garondo, Garajmahal, is looking fantastic! All the finishing touches are really coming together. You guys did a great job
I half expected a clip from Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss when you were lifting the refrigerator up the stairs.
It’s good to see that at least IKEA is consistent. I was in the same boat as you were just about. I put in a tall thin custom door only it wasn’t Custom it was supposed to be a standard door. I ran into the problem that they were changing vendors for that particular product. It took IKEA six months to deliver one door for cabinets that I installed in a laundry room.
Only reason that I went with these cabinets is there really were no other ready to assemble units that looked really good. Also, I had previous experience with redoing an entire kitchen in the 90s that worked really well. You just have to be aware that every part you order is unique and has its own supplier. Do you think you’re building a kitchen from one company but in fact you’re building a kitchen from as many companies as part numbers you order. This makes it very likely there will be delays.
Are you putting in any additional drainage to move the water coming down from the roof/gutters away from the house?
Those gutters are HUGE! I love it.
Nice work can’t wait for the house build. Mike Peabody mass!!' 0:37
Hope they are are sunbrella!! Love the videos.been watching for 4 years now , and love what you all do .
Hey Jordan not sure if your reading this comment but if you are I highly suggest you look into a backup power solution something like a anker solix that's portable that way you can transfer over to your new house when it is finished that way you can have power when a storm comes through and knocks out your grid power
I put remote control blinds in from Blindster. They weren't Zebra's but at the time basically 1 company made the remotes and motors for almost all of them. I had so many problems with them. They were really large ones too. I had to send each one back at different times for repairs. They would stop halfway. They would stop responding to the remote. They would go all the way down and just go up on their own. I started to hate them. They were great when they worked but we sold that place and I said never again. I hope you have better lock with yours.
We use zebra blinds in our bedroom. I like them. Just wish thr ones we bought were a little darker fabric as I'm a fan of black out in the night.
I just love you guys. Can't wait to watch all of you videos.
It wouldn’t be 100% hidden in between that gap of the two cabinets, but you could use something like a piece of steel din-rail, and that would help beef up the cabinets on the fridge. Get a longer piece that goes from top to bottom on both doors instead of a short piece just tying the two together.
We are hitting in the 110s here in Phoenix still. Record heat every day. First time hitting 100 in Oct and it was 113. Insanely hot weather
Nice learning and enjoyable video.
Nice job! Think I would have left drywall unfinished..behind cabinet and if service needed, easier to access
Love hearing Jordons voice!
First thing I saw when it switched to the drone footage for the gutters, they're short. Have always seen them extending an inch or two beyond the end of the fascia.
The blinds are cool! Can’t wait to see it all finally finished. 👍🏼👍🏼
Might be able to blue tape that cabinet (front and back) to spray some matte black thru the gap and onto the hardware. 🤔 Altho maybe just hit Lowe’s for a Simpson 7”x16” Zmax steel plate (painted matte black); think it would give you a better connection on those doors. 🤷🏼♂️
BTW, would be cool to do a “Behind the scenes” video (on SP2) after Jordan is moved in: first part being how the videos are shot, explain all your tech (mics, lights, etc.), 2nd part how/where the videos are edited now, & 3rd part how it’s done after Jordan gets to settle in. 😬
We were looking at these but didn't like the batteries.
We ended up buying a 240v (Europe based) motor that slides into our existing blinds.
I wanted to have them neat so put an outlet in every window opening that can't be seen unless you really stick your head in the window area.
As always, the attention to detail is outstanding!! I know I would have been flipping over the refrigerator situation also, I do not have patience for that crap. Just curious as to who is the manufacturer of that fridge? As always thank you for a great video!
I've been looking for a smaller powered screw driver, so I ordered one for me from your link. Thanks for the link.
IKEA screwed me over in a similar way but with a 15” upper cabinet, which totally messed up my layout until I was able to get my hands on one weeks later. What a waste of time trying to get that cabinet was.
Also when I saw Paul snapping those door hinges in with ease I was like… oh god how did he do that so easily? THANK YOU for showing your attempt which looked a lot like mine did, made me feel better 😂
I was always surprised that you were using Ikea as they are the Harbor Freight of home furnishings. That said, it looks and turned out fantastic!
Lol, "Transforming into Dad" happens to us all, butPaul is awesome! 11:02
You might want to put a piece of black (Zip?) tape on the back side of the two attached doors in front of the refrigerator. It will prevent the white from showing through. You will need to un/re do the sliders, but it should be OK.
Ok, so given the drainage issues you’ve had on this property, I’m very surprised you ran the gutters to the back of the house and not to the front and down, what will be, the driveway. Reasoning?
Funny enough, I'm literally shopping for gutters right now for my place!!! Lolol
I like those wall sconces on the south interior wall. Have to go back and dig through what they were to see if they have something that will work for my application.
We got you😃 ozarke.com Leger Modern Sconce
Almost there, guys!! What a journey this has been. Hopefully that fridge is the "final boss" and this thing is about wrapped up! 👾👾👾👾👾😂
Jordan has the EXACT same taste as me, I've renovated 3 houses and 4 shops. If he saw them, he'd think he designed them.
I bought zebra blinds from SmartWings and they are great! I love smart blinds
I would also paint the fridge air grill that goes on the toe kick black so you won't see it. If it's silver it will stick out like a sore thumb.
Check them at night time with the lights on. When you’re looking at blinds from the dark side, some window coverings become practically see through.
At night time they’re great 🙌🏼 full privacy
Looking really great guys
Good job guys! Great info Great video!
Phenomenal work, gents, per usual. It's nice to see you tackling curveballs thrown at you by Ikea products, for instance. Ikea's about my level of DIY skill, and I've been burned by them before. Like the time I bought a complicated Brimnes headboard and it turned out that they hadn't drilled the holes properly, so I could not finish it, and I had to return the whole bloody thing. Also, a comedy colleague once joked that Ikea is Swedish for "out of stock", which I guess you experienced re the fridge. Please spread the word. 😉
On the main house, it would be cool to see the gutters connect to the water drainage system
Guys love the video, and the blinds never heard of this style. Getting real close for sure. Jordan only a couple of weeks.
Should also put in some external shade blinds to stop most of the sun even hitting the windows!
I didn't choose those up down blinds for the same reason, you can't have the top slats open while the bottom slats are closed for privacy. Perfect for Jordan's home tho.
What a great space ❤
Tell us about dusting and cleaning those zebra blinds. 😀
It’s a mesh material so cleaning is easy with a vacuum! Much better than dusting
I missed the video on the upper deck drainage. Where can I find that? Everything looks great!! I see you had few comments on strengthen the fridge panels so I won't comment on that.
I hope there's an app for those blinds - keeping track of a remote might be a headache. Also, one issue that I see with the blinds - I can't lift one of the slats and be a nosy neighbor as easily as with other blinds...
maybe put a strip of black foam window weatherstrip between the top and bottom pieces of the top fridge door, to hide the hardware
Just need home assistant
those blinds use a rechargeable battery WHY doesnt the company put a small solar cell on the exterior facing side to trickle charge the cell ?? is the cell replaceable? or are the blinds buy an toss when things die (UGH)
How are those blinds cleaned?
I like the idea of them, but the minimum light coming through fully lowered blinds is 50%. Normal blinds are infinitely adjustable.
Orlando made it through the hurricane! Keep us entertained❤
Paul you need a Dewalt gyroscopic screwdriver they are awesome
Those blinds are awesome!
