I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.
I’m surprised you would lean the ladder against the window. Good info in this video, thanks
I'm surprised you positioned the ladder to rest against the frame of the window. I guess it would be better to tack a plank across that area first to distribute the pressure?
But then.. no harm no loss right?
..
Should be calling the people that put the siding up.
I enjoy all your videos but never commented until today. I fell off a ladder and three years later I had to have both my hips replaced. Please be careful
It’s sad how shitty these cookie cutter houses are slapped together.
That ladder against that window at that angle makes me uneasy. I'd think you could hang out the window and get it done. Enjoy the rest of the vid though. Thanks.
You shouldn't live so dangerously. If that ladder slips, you are in for a BIG fall plus $1000 for new window. Don't take silly chances!!!
Thanks for another helpful video. I'm confused at how easily the replacements were pushed into place (behind an edge piece on each side.) I have cracked vinyl siding pieces trying to get them behind an edge piece. Any suggestions? Or do the pieces barely overlap? And, would that be an area for water intrusion?
As my neighbors covered up masonite siding with vinyl, I replaced mine with Hardie siding. In my opinion it looks much nicer. Good job repairing your vinyl!
You better, as you said, get a few pieces of spare!
I'd have liked to see the last piece being put in; like how do you reach to nail it to the OSB? How do you clip it on?
Nice video. I've had a small section missing under the soffit since I moved into my house 2 years ago and never replaced it. That's easy enough so now I might do it
Doesn't even show putting the last piece in….. fail
Great video. I always wondered how you do this. Once you have the replacement piece, will you do another video to show how the last section goes in?
I always use a stabilizer that will span the window. Slightest slip and the glass will give and you have a whole ‘ other ‘ thing or two to fix, maybe yourself. Enjoy your videos but please be safe!
Very well demonstrated. Pro work. Thank you for sharing
That’s one awkward working area, especially with the window / ladder relationship.
Nice video. Looks like you need a few more things in your tool belt pocket. 😊
Is this an Allen Edwin Neighborhood?
3.16.23 Scott, you were brave putting your ladder up against the window. Not much room. Thanks for making the video.
Heres another one. The ladder is not cool. What if a homeowner watches and does that. Not woth a video.
Great channel!
How did you nail the last piece ?
I've been working on home for a long time and never would anyone I work with would have done that move with the ladder on the window. That would get a guy fired off the job. I know you didn't break it, but the window manufacturer would also say that's a no no.
I’ve found that Menards let’s you order individual pieces of siding instead of a whole box.
Thanks for another helpful video.
Umm… Rather than put your ladder on the window, buy a device called a "Stabilizer" Werner makes them. It will straddle the window. But you would need a standard extension ladder.
Bro if you had put your ladder up agains my Marvin window. I’d ask you to pack up and leave
