Do I have a bulkhead door on my house? No. Do I think I'll ever need to learn how to replace one? Probably not. Did I enjoy watching the entire video anyway? HELL YEAH! lol Seriously, I enjoy your videos. Good work.
Don't you just love having EVERYTHING just right? Don't you just love DOING everything JUST RIGHT! TY so much for sharing your time, expertise, wisdom, humor....and I think 🤔....the slightest sound of your precious peep! Good to see you AGAIN! 👀 💕 🇺🇸
Well, I had to watch till the end, just to see the end result. And, as expected, it turned out awesome! I like the longer videos! Sorry it costs so much, but, it is an investment that was worth it!
This looks awesome! I like that you took the time to add lumber, address holes, gaps, and weather issues, and look forward to seeing it all painted. Onto the stairs next 👍
I knew we were headed to the basement!!! Great job on this. I loved how you payed attention to detail and sealed everything up tight. The addition of the 4x4 border pieces and pvc trim with the bevel really made a huge asthetic difference. Even filling in the little hole on the side under the lip of the house. You won't have to worry about rain or leaking.
In case no one else mentioned it that was called a House Centipede. They eat tons of bugs including spiders. They are the top bug predator in a home. They are creepy as heck but are supposed to be good for the house. Nice work!
Looks very good. Now, no worrying about water getting in. I knew the oscillating tool would be making an appearance... it's your favorite tool after all. When I watch what you're doing and it matches what I was thinking I'd do, it seems like I'm finally learning. Thanks for the videos.
This was really great!! I have never seen this kind of project done before. Your attention to detail is always so wonderful. Always clean, and you think of everything to avoid future issues. Great job! can’t wait to see the stairs project.
This job came out beautifully. Not that I'll ever install one myself, but I learned so much! Loved all of the tips and each decision you made along the way. Great video!!
This guy went above and beyond what most professionals would even do with his level of thinking long term. At least I think he did, who knows? I don't even have a bulk head cellar door.
When you said it might be overkill, I thought, no, that's perfection at it's finest. I love the attention to detail and how you make sure that nothing is half way done. I also love pvc wood (?) We redid our chimney with it and just knowing it's going to last a very long time and is bug proof makes you feel a whole lot better about your house.
@@TheFixerHomeRepair Thank you for being so down to Earth, and a great teacher. I like how you describe things so we can understand them. Ever since I subscribed to your channel, I have learned so very much. I have also made a lot of fixer friends. 😁 The Fixer community is an amazing group of people and I'm proud to be a part of the Fixer tribe. 😁🥰 I just had an idea. I would love to have a shirt or hoodie that had, *The Fixer Tribe*, on the back or sleeve of it. What do you and the Tribe think about it?❤️😁🥰
I never thought I would watch the whole video, but the way that you explained and demonstrated was fascinating and very realistic and informative. Thanks so much, it's a pleasure to watch someone who not only knows what they're doing but who also takes the necessary steps to do it right...I wish I could simply hire you to come deal with mine, but at least now I have a more accurate sense of the work involved and level of expertise needed!
looking forward to the stairs. I'm really happy with the way you share your knowledge. it is so helpful to homeowners that don't want to have to pay someone for every project that needs to be done around the house.
I love your videos. I’m a 68 year old woman who will never do any of these jobs but your videos are so interesting. You’re a perfectionist and your projects are done so well.
learning new things everyday. Love it when it is over engineered. I am using tons of LVL and stainless steel fasteners. I have the Ryobi oscillating saw, but I always use my Milwaukee M18 fuel or Festool Vecturo. The Ryobi oscillating saw doesn't nearly perform as good as they do. But it is time for me to revisit using Ryobi tools more often. It was cheap, and I don't care if it breaks.
Nice project. I am a bit surprised you actually didn't replace every stitch of old wood since you had everything removed off it. But if you are happy, what else matters. Thumbs Up!
Just found this video. I have an old house with a rotted out wooden door. I'm planning to replace it now. I'm just Joe DIY guy so this was very nice to see. I guess I need to order a size close to my opening and just go for it.
Beautiful job! We need to do exactly the same thing and I so appreciate this in-depth tutorial. Not cheap, and labor intensive but about 1/3 the cost of having it done.
Fixer that was some incredible professional grade work! That turned out beautifully! I like how you cut the boards so that they contoured perfectly to the concrete wall and would not let any water in! Great job!
Great video, really appreciate the step-by-step, down to the pre-drilling, type of bit, etc. So many videos skip those details which can make a project go bad very quickly.
Dang, that is good work. I love your end results. Quality workmanship and pride in your work. For stairs I'd give serious thought into poured concrete steps with a broom finish for grip. They won't rot and should last forever. I'm a red seal carpenter and love watching your work. Always good to see how others build things. Learning ideas from other smart builders.
You have great problem solving skills ! It is a pleasure to watch how you address and solve the many decisions involved in your tasks. Some of this can be learned but some of it is innate ability to think . Great job!
Another great video! Thank you. You're so good at explaining what you're doing and why, and your thought processes in decision making. It's all very interesting and informative!
It looks great but I would have put some of that black sticky paper over the boards up against the house to cover the nails and also caulk the silver on the entryway. Just a suggestion especially if the black sticky paper is waterproof. Great video!!!
I just watched your video on removing and building a deck and really appreciate your attention to detail with your videos, the fix and build involved and the written explanations because these projects seem easy till you get into them and things can go very wrong from there for the average home owner! I especially appreciate the attention on fixing the rotten siding, my siding looks about the same, it’s old and it’s some kind of vertical (only two exterior walls with vertical boards) melamine or cardboard crap that’s completely failed at this point and I’ve been stalling on what to do because ik it needs removed, the house where it’s rotten needs wrapped, etc etc but wasn’t confident if I knew all the steps so thank you so much and pls don’t stop filming your work!!!
You did such a great job. Your video wasn't that long. I could watch you work for ages. I really like how you explain every process. And your work is quality, that's for sure. Please show it once you have painted it. Hello from Australia.
This was a great tutorial! I actually do have to install these exact same doors, and on an old house with rotting supports and no sill! Learned a lot, you are so relaxed and patient, and show such attention to detail that it's a pleasure to watch as well as a great learning experience.
Those concrete screws are so good. No messing about with them, I'm a DIY guy and my brother recommended them to me on a project. Great job - subbed (UK viewer)
You do killer work,and you’re just a regular dude that doesn’t tell the world that the owner of the internet said his handyman Channel is the number one on the internet.your videos are way better!keep it up and the internet owner might be calling you! 👊🏻
Nicely done and much care has been taken. I would suggest on the left hand side of the concrete wall would be better protected with a piece of pvc just like at the centre end, instead of the wood.
I swear I binge watching your channel for about a year now 😂😂 you need some sponsorship and if you don’t have any folks are missing out and just to be honest start teaching some of these young men forgotten skills when it comes to home improvements If I had the money to invest into your skills to get it out to the public more than TH-cam I would 🤷🏾♂️and it’s the talent and skills you have to make things look easy
This brought back memories of my youth. That same door was used to replace the rotted wood doors on our basement in 1968. Bulkhead, haven’t heard that word used to describe basement doors since I left Mass. in 1970. Come to think of it, haven’t seen a bulkhead since then.
Watching your uploads in completely the wrong order 😂 Started off with the stairs, then the internal door, now this. Enjoy the content, just the right level of info and engagement.
The year 2073: "well, I guess it's time for me to replace this bulkhead that the previous owner installed in the early 2020's. It shouldn't take long to get this thing apart." ....... "I need help. Or maybe some dynamite. Nah, I'm just gonna leave it. This thing's pretty solid."
Your work is so meticulous! I love that you even swept the sawdust! I do have to admit, when you first opened the door, I almost was expecting Clarice to pop out of there. (Silence of the Lambs) spooky. I live in NC and have never seen an entrance to a basement like this? Looks great! I can't believe how expensive the doors themselves were!. But "free labor", saved you just as much. And I don't like centipedes either. Amazing work!
I love watching your videos, very informative & you take pride in your work. Thanks for sharing, esp like the planing you did on the wood to even up the boards. Another great video
Do I have a bulkhead door on my house? No. Do I think I'll ever need to learn how to replace one? Probably not. Did I enjoy watching the entire video anyway? HELL YEAH! lol Seriously, I enjoy your videos. Good work.
Same here! Absolutely none of this was applicable in my life but I enjoyed it anyway.
I do, but then again, it doesn’t need fixing
Lol, do I have a bulkhead, no, but like you I enjoy watching his videos.
Same here...I don't even have a basement 😁
I got one that needs fixed! Come on over.
"Make everything you touch better than you found it" Love the thought process on this sir, we are definitely cut from the same cloth.
Don't you just love having EVERYTHING just right?
Don't you just love DOING everything JUST RIGHT!
TY so much for sharing your time, expertise, wisdom, humor....and I think 🤔....the slightest sound of your precious peep!

Same here Carla. Don’t know why this Man isn’t at 250K? Great content and solid skill set in many areas.
I agree! Smaller investment now, rather than an expensive water damage repair later. 😉
True it cost more, but now he's improved the home's value.
Black is what I thought would look good. You make it look easy but I know it wasn’t. Thank you again. Very helpful and entertaining ❤️
This looks awesome! I like that you took the time to add lumber, address holes, gaps, and weather issues, and look forward to seeing it all painted.
Onto the stairs next 👍
Professional all th around. I like seeing pride and attention to detail videos. You won't need go back and fix it anytime soon.
Had to watch it till the end too! How satisfying to see it looking so good. Great job!!
Didnt matter it was a long video, enjoyed it very much. Nice job !!
Your repairs and remodels always teach me so much, and they look like they will last a long time.
I knew we were headed to the basement!!! Great job on this. I loved how you payed attention to detail and sealed everything up tight.

Looks great dude!! You've done so much to the house I freaking love it
This was fascinating. I can't wait to see what you do with those basement stairs.
Nice project. I am a bit surprised you actually didn't replace every stitch of old wood since you had everything removed off it. But if you are happy, what else matters. Thumbs Up!
You are the type of person I wish I knew to help me with repairs.
Great work! I like how you talk about all the issues as you run into them, and how you fix the issue.
That was the 1st time I’ve seen that done since watching ‘This Old House’ on PBS back in the day. Cool video, TFS!
Still here watching, love your videos they are informative and like the way you tackle imperfection with ease.
Just found this video. I have an old house with a rotted out wooden door. I'm planning to replace it now. I'm just Joe DIY guy so this was very nice to see. I guess I need to order a size close to my opening and just go for it.
Great video! I love how meticulous you are about making sure everything is watertight all around……your camerawork and editing is awesome, too!
I agree! 👍🏼😊
Thank you, Susan!
I like long videos and watching ur channel reminds me that I use to watch this old house and shows like it back in the days
Beautiful job! We need to do exactly the same thing and I so appreciate this in-depth tutorial. Not cheap, and labor intensive but about 1/3 the cost of having it done.
It doesn't look very complicated, yet, your video was calm and stick my attention for the whole time. :)

I think this was the first video I watched. Funny it was two years later you got to the steps and inter door, Really enjoy your video's.
This video was awesome! I know little about everything and a lot about nothing when it comes to construction. You be Billy Badass!
watching this, id have to say, good job, i wouldn't have done it any differently, you thought this through, good job.
This was SO satisfying to watch! Hope you add footage of the bulkhead and trim all painted.
Dang, that is good work. I love your end results. Quality workmanship and pride in your work.
For stairs I'd give serious thought into poured concrete steps with a broom finish for grip. They won't rot and should last forever.

Best teacher ever! Thanks for another great video, no matter how long.
Extremely helpful and comprehensive. Probably the best I’ve seen on these bilco repair/replacement videos. Helps that I have the same doors as well.
Love to watch your videos. I learn so much of what tools to use and what products are out there. Thanks. Nice job.
Another great video...both informative and entertaining! Thanks, Fixer...can’t wait for the next video.
You have great problem solving skills ! It is a pleasure to watch how you address and solve the many decisions involved in your tasks. Some of this can be learned but some of it is innate ability to think . Great job!

Great video! BTW the creepy crawly was a Scutigera.
I just looked that up! That looks like the bugger!! Thanks for the comment! I learned something today!

Love the changes that were made to improve finished product. Built right and well thought out.
Thank you for sharing everything .You work like a gentleman.Great Job 👍
I have a broken door like that, and finally someone showed me how to fix it...and fix it right, Thank you :)
I so enjoyed your video. Learned a lot in the process. Thank you for sharing.
I thought I was the only one that has jeans that can stand up by themselves with all the caulking on them. Great vid!
😂
This was a great tutorial! I actually do have to install these exact same doors, and on an old house with rotting supports and no sill! Learned a lot, you are so relaxed and patient, and show such attention to detail that it's a pleasure to watch as well as a great learning experience.
Never fall in love with old electrical, plumbing and in this case, wood. Rip it out and start anew. Very well done under the circumstances.
Loved the jiffy seal, flashing part...where I live we pre prime all wood on all sides nowadays before installing...Great job.
Wow, complete detailed work. I didn't even notice would be needed but after you did it out looks so perfect
New follower! You have a wonderful old house, and I love the care you put into it!
Thanks so much for subscribing! And for checking out my videos!!

Nice job you can tell you take pride in your work.
The things I could do around my house….if only I had your knowledge. Again awesome job man!

I enjoy watching you work,the thoroughness of your work,and your clean as you go attitude. Then I HAD to chuckle when you saw the bugs!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Haha! Thanks again, Marty! I appreciate it!
Very interesting project! I was interrupted in the middle but finished it all😇Like how you explain the process👍🏻
wow! what a beautiful turnout! Awesome work mang.
Very pleasant to watch, you are so chill.
Good Job!
I wish if I could have these great tools and your skills.
It is cool to watch someone like you doing a nice work to improve houses!
That was an awesome journey we went with you.
Looks great! I don’t think anymore rain will be getting in. Looking forward to seeing the new stairs built
Love the longer video! Killer job, as always
Great job. Looking forward to the rest of the fixes
Nicely done and much care has been taken. I would suggest on the left hand side of the concrete wall would be better protected with a piece of pvc just like at the centre end, instead of the wood.
