Instead of cutting the top plate and shimming......why dont you just leave the top plate in tact and use a planer to take out the high spots to get everything plumb & level.
Perhaps, because it would result in the door frame lower than the insulated floor level (level with the top of the upper sole plate) that he said he'd be installing.
There's the opposite side to consider as well, if you raise the sill, the subfloor will also have to adjust upwards in order to be level. Easy solution for the door, but sounds like introducing problems downstream that aren't considered within this scope.
Great video Matt. I’m curious about the framing for the slider. You are a proponent of advanced framing techniques to minimize material use and maximize insulation, so I’m wondering why there are four studs on one side of the opening and six on the other. Seems like overkill. Im wondering if more efficient options were considered or did your framing crew just default to the cheapest, easiest option. Otherwise, great info. Thanks.
Love Pella. We installed them on a house up north, good quality. Pella took the initiative to include screws with their doors. 👍GRK makes the best fasteners. Quality install. Noticed double bottom plates. Was that to compensate for your subfloor and finish floor heights? There is so much to account for before install, this video addresses those factors. Excellent video Matt. Keep making them.
I LOVE that Matt highlights the important points, such as the skip sealant. Brilliant for beginners and for folks who want to learn about best practices.
This channel and Matt has become a sellout. Every video revolves around some brand sponsoring a particular product, this a video, so regardless of good or bad, Matt will give it a glowing review, well, because it’s sponsored and padding his wallet. Just unsubscribed, and I think many will too eventually. This channel has become one giant ad commercial for whoever is willing to pay.
I don’t mind sponsorships for good quality products that Matt believes in as a builder. He has many of these products in his own home and he has to stand behind these products when he installs them in other people’s homes. Sponsorships also allow him to produce more content and more quality content. He’s running a business not a charity and this is a standard business model in the social media world. Seems more prudent to be wary about sponsored products and services, do your own research on what products and services are good for your projects, and then just enjoy the content and learn as much as you can from it. Or unsubscribe if you’re a sponsorship purist and miss a lot of good content 😊.
We do it in high end homes to guarantee a perfectly level floor. Sleepers are set first in tar and then planed till everything is level. That’s then followed by attaching plywood to the sleepers and again any high spots are removed. It takes awhile but the end result is perfectly level wood floors. For tile we use float in place of the sleepers and plywood. It also makes it easier to have all flooring at the same level when a customer decides to use different flooring materials of varying thickness in adjacent rooms…
Language matters. It is why we switched from Master bedroom to Primary bedroom. It would be great if you switched from man door to person door or swing in/out door or some other word combination. Matt is so good about talking about men and women as crew or in the trades most of the time which I appreciate with a daughter going into the trades. More then just men will be going through the doors. Every time I hear man door in one of the videos I notice the non inclusive language, which is unusual for Matt. I can't wait to see the floors with those doors and the low barrier entry they will create.
So sensitive over terms that mean very little. He's referring to a bedroom and a door. It's sad and pathetic that triggers you. Says more about you than Matt.
Does person door create a better learning experience for you? Worry more about learning and less about how you get there in most cases and we will all be better for it...
Is there a resource for finding best practice contractors?
Craigslist. 😄
LET'S GET GOING 👍🔨📐
What's going on with Matt's hands at 8:49 ?
Lol
. jajajaja
Looks like he's telling a Jackie Marling joke.
Idk about shimming the plate. I would plane that and maybe touch it up with a grinder flapper disc.
All depends on how the finished floor elevation is managed.
I was suprised to not see a still pan being used. Did you not use one because of the large overhang?

What size is the sliding glass door?

Outside slider? Why? Won't there be more track contamination over time?

Interesting details on both the leveling and skip seal on the outer side.
Great video. Really like the detail on the GRK screws used.
👉👌 zip tape seals! LOL made me laugh.
Where's the house plan link

Quality is a thing of the past.
👌🏽👈🏽…really Matt. 😂
Why do you need 3 inches of sub floor and final flooring....seems a bit thick.
R-value?
1.5” framing system, 7/8 plywood

A lot of areas of Texas are built on swamps. Maybe for stability?
Hi Matt. Is there an email where I can reach you out for a potential collaboration?
First for once!
Congratulations
Your gay
@mitchdenner9743 I don't take much offense from troglodytes finding their opposable thumbs lol

I catch myself always saying the same but I do correct myself. So hard to change.. you are correct. I use 'people' door. sorry.
