Thanks for the bloopers. Started my day off just right! 😺

We love the bloopers cause that's what really happens.

The Fixer be creeping up on 1/2 mill subs. Woot Woot. Best of luck for 2024.

Thanks for the bloopers. We're all human. I was struggling with how to fix my front door. I know exactly what to do now. Thank you for sharing!

I started watching you because you have all of these small projects that a lot of people won't do, because they just don't know where to start. You explain everything - literally EVERYTHING. No distracting music, or unnecessary flash or drama. Just HOW TO's! I have gotten some very good ideas from your channel (going to use the ceiling insulation box for the attic access in a rental).
But, I digress... BLOOPERS! I love them, they crack me up, because this is my entire life! We have a small working goat farm, and I want to do some seminars... I'm scared to death that I will have a live audience, and be doing and saying exactly this. Colorful words tend to just fly out of me as easily as breathing. I love the bloopers, helps me to realize that we are all human beings, misspeak, make mistakes, but keep on plugging away!
Keep up the good work, you have a subscriber for the life of your channel! 🎉 -
I have a simular situation where 1/2 drywall was placed over plaster and lath walls. I added 1/2 x1/2 moldings on both sides of the door and then skimmed drywall compound to blend to the walls. Door trim lined up nicely. But the problem was the door strike plate was not wide enough.... I found 3, 3 1/2 and 4 in gold tone wide strike plates on amazon. They work great.

To trim the foam I've always used a snap off blade type utility knife fully extended.

Good job! I really love watching you do these kinds of detail jobs. One thing I will add is at 11:50, when you are explaining the reason why to put a reveal on the hinge side you mention the option of mortising out the hinge to trim it flush, but that presents a problem if the hinge pin ever has to be removed in the future. Thanks for bringing us along!

I just love your videos. I am a grandma but if I had to I think I could do some stuff because you help us out!
-
I love the bloopers and enjoy learning so much from your videos
-
Another tip - You can make the extension jamb 1-2/16th proud, and when attach the trim, you can caulk the gap to the wall, which will also make the transition from trim to wall disappear when painted. (Even more so if the trim is painted as well!)
-
Holy God that was a lot of work.
-
Nicely done
-
Awwww! A fellow ryobi warrior!...don't get twisted...we do our Thang!
-
Your attention to detail is instructive and inspiring. It makes all the difference in the final product! Love the reverse 45 marking tip on the top moulding!
-
Love the bloopers, too funny - laughing at the "colorful" words - ha ha ha!
-
Thank you 👍👍😊
-
Really appreciate your videos, thanks. And maybe this helps: make sure to rotate that brad nailer 90 degrees. Brads can shoot left or right rather than up and down, which helps avoid a blowout through the finished side.

Are you reading my mind? Getting ready to do the trim around our front door and I actually wanted or should I say needed your expertise. Thanks for the tips!
