    That screw trick at end is a game changer. Thanks!
  • Great tip. I'd never thought to build the trim boxes beforehand. The screws in the window frame as shims is priceless. Thx.
  • Me and my wife did our whole house like this based upon your videos and Perkins Brothers videos. Ours was painted and thankfully not stained. But it worked like a charm. Would 1000% do it again! Not even a question! We didn’t use the screws in the sides though. We just left a 1/8” clearance. The screws in the side is “next level”!

    Very good tips by a master builder! Your quality is top notch! I'm really looking forward to building my man cave with Paul Marshall this spring!!

    Thank you this is a great tip. One thing I wanted see in the video was how to deal with the different depths between the window and the drywall in terms of cutting and assembly of the jam. Could you give me a tip for that?

    I have done windows like that for years, I like doing the old stile trim with a sill & with ears on the sides & a skirt under the sill It’s just a little more decorative
  • Это просто потрясающе ! Вы реально крутые парни!!!

    Can’t stop watching your videos. They’re super helpful. Question though: I don’t recall seeing how you insulate around the window. Do you have a video showing that process? In past i just spray foam around the frame before trimming out but not sure if that’s a best practice. Thanks for all your sharing!
  • Never ever smear the glue squeeze out with your finger like you did! You can never get that out of the surface of the joint as was clearly shown on the install that you showed - you had glue issues at two of the corners exposed by the stain. Let the glue squeeze out be and leave it as a small bead. Once it is mostly dry, but not completely, you can come back and remove it cleanly with either a scraper if you like to pull, or a chisel if you like to push. That will get 99% of the squeeze out and make sanding of the joint much easier. All the other tips good, although if you were using something like regular oak trim, it is often much easier to stain and finish first before cutting and assembly. Also, with regular outside finish trim that is prefinished, you can miter, glue the miter and pull it flush with just a single trim screw in the miter. All of the concepts are good, but if you can change a few things, it will go even better for you.

    You are the best. Thank you so much for the video
  • You will not regret the Kreg jig Forman. Saves a ridiculous amount of time.

    Wish I could do this in remodels, so much easier!

    The trim screws are for the finish carpenter or at least I use them and tell myself that . I notice they never split the wood or just lucky so far. I have seen your Milwaukee stud review I bought one to see if it would be and asset I like the belt hook, though still like the Luftkin Nighteyes the green and black combo with large numbers is an ideal tape though the blades are weak can tear easy.
