Replacing a window is a pane sometimes.😂
The voice overs were better in my opinion. Probably because of the tool sound takes away from your very calming voice. I'm also a contractor. You are very talented. L
Great job!! The only small recommendation I have is to ALWAYS wear cheap latex gloves when using the spray insulating foam in a can. That stuff is nasty! As you said, you don't want to get it on your hands. If you do, nothing will remove it! Not soap, WD40, thinner, nothing will work! You just have to wait DAYS until it wears off your hands naturally. Been there, done that! :-(
I’ve said this before” this old house “ needs to hire this beauty! She knows what she’s doing and it could save that long running PBS show ! 😎👍
I do not excuse the respirator face. Not allowed. 😠 Just kidding. Looks like a little chip of the cedar siding came off when you took out the exterior window casing. Anyway, I just spent the whole day painting my kitchen and back mud room. It's helpful to see I'm not the only one working right now. But here's how I have you beat - I just listen to books on Audible. No having to stop and talk to my camera, readjust it, etc. To be fair, home improvement isn't a hustle for me - yet! Anyway, time for a shower. No windows, though.
Rent a cherry picket bucket lift from a residential rental company over the weekend for job like this if you don't want the risk of falling off the ladder. When you get older you balance is not the best. Sometimes it is just the cost of doing business to be safe when older. About $500 for the weekend.
Not criticizing…Should’ve put house wrap over sill into house before installing window, then zip tape. With the outside trim so flush with the siding I would’ve put some flashing up top. Thats a big project, good job!! I know contractors that you put to shame.
Caulk rhymes with talk. The “L” is silent.
I am not sure how I came across this video. You are so tiny. Kudos to you for sticking to it. However, I agree that this was a dangerous maneuver by yourself.
I'm inspired! Every contractor/handyman (9 total) that I've called talk at me like I'm a dummy. I'm not. I'm just old and tired of fixing my house. I ordered windows of the same width, just 5 inches shorter. I refuse to pay someone $800 to remove, resize, and install one window! I could have had replacement winows installed for less than the cost of their labor. That didn't even include drywall or the siding (I have the siding). I may make an attempt in the spring....but I know there is rotted wood at the sill...alas, just a little extra work. :) Thank you for the awesome video! Great detail and right on point. Girls rock🎉
I was on pins and needles the whole time! I'm just glad that you're alive.
I am happy for your new house and your litle windows sow good 👍
Your enthusiasm and personality makes your videos so entertaining!!
You do such great work. I've hired a lot of "carpenters" in my day. I can honestly say your work is better than many who call themselves a carpenter. Great videos.
Talented woman, the finished product always looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Great job! Working off ladders isn’t fun. I avoid it as much as possible. I feel your pain on the two person thing too. I prefer to work alone and hate it when I’m halfway through and realize I should’ve gotten a helper two steps ago 😂. Keep up the great work!
I love that you always ‘do the research’ to empower yourself to tackle complicated jobs . You may not be a ‘professional’ but you have so much experience that you could be. Great job on a scary ladder job!
I was distracted from sweating everytime you were at the top of the ladder🤯
I don’t blame you for the mishaps. I do the same thing. Such a pleasure watching you work. Fantastic content!
This was super inspirational! I’ve been wanting to shorten a window in our breakfast nook so I can build some banquet seating in front. Makes me confident I can do it!
