Thank You! We need more of this, practice standards that teach good science building techniques to the everyday contractor. Most have been doing things the way they were taught, dogma, and have not changed their techniques in decades. Keep up the excellent work. I applaud such free on-line references like this, greenbuildingadvisor.com, buildingscience.com, mattrisinger.com (watch out for those "sponsored products" with matt) and the like. Good job guys and thanks again!
Thanks to you for watching and your kind comments. We really appreciate the feedback. I hope to create more vids this year. Thanks again for watching! Gene
Im wanting to replace a walk out garage door in the basement with a french style door and the concrete slab outside is level with the concrete floor of the (inside)basement. Once I have everything roughed in and the door installed will the flashing be visible out from under the siding there at the base or do you cut it back flush so you won't see it beyond the face of the siding? And if you do cut the flashing back flush with the base of the siding what keeps water from working under the siding and then potentially under the bottom plate?
Hi Anber, You can trim the pan on the exterior so it is fllush with the sill nosing of the door. On the inside, you should trim it. You will see it unless you have finish flooring to cover it. Please remember to use sealant under the pan and again on top of the pan, you will be OK. Thanks for watching, contact me anytime for help. - Gene
The pan is not sloped ; In CA and the West nobody uses a sloped pan on a concrete slab; or subfloor either for that matter. The materials are layered in a water shedding fashion. All the best..
The black corners applied to the nailing flanges will arrive with your Marvin Door. Probably taped or stapled in a little bag to the unit when it ships to you. Good Luck! - Gene
Sorry for the delay in response... If you are good with projects, then you can do this. If you do not have experience with electric power tools, I encourage you to hire a contractor... Cheers :-)

Excellent vids. Thank you.
Good tips. I noticed a few layering problems tho and there's no slope on your pan. Im not on site so i cant tell for sure tho.

On the inside you should NOT trim it. The earlier message was a typo.
amazing and concise

in the back of the Hinge is the molding.... it haves a big hole cuz of all the big screws how do i fix this....
Thanks!
Do those rubber corners come with every door. Im getting a nice Marvin sliding door. Or do I need to buy them at a store.
Buy on Amazon. Check out the links above. Thanks! -Gene
Not the flashing molded corners The rubber corners on the outside of the upper corners of the door. They are black in color.
The black corners applied to the nailing flanges will arrive with your Marvin Door. Probably taped or stapled in a little bag to the unit when it ships to you. Good Luck! - Gene

We typically screw through the jambs,
