The reason some give thumbs down, is because you don't try to hide your so-called flaws or unforeseen little things that the job always throws at everyone. You have to be a little patient to see talent. This is a big fault of Hollywood's perfect this and that and advertisements, infomercials etc, where everything is just perfect, perfect. This is not real, you poor fools. That is exactly what I like about Shannon. A really better carpenter is better, if true, by a good nature and positive attitude a good parent, a good neighbour, a patient teacher, etc. Shannon is that guy! You go boy!

Thanks,

I listened carefully to the video and installed a window today without any problems.

Dera Shannon, I've done quite a few home improvement projects with your help and wanted to thank you for putting up these videos. They are very professional and well explained. In my area, it's near impossible to find any good handyman to hire, so the best option one has is to just go and do it oneself!

[jameslacey]

Your instruction is beyond professional. If I were looking to hire someone to do this job I'd search you out! Above all, the pride you take in your work stands out big time, from checking and double-checking to your great organization and savvy. Thanks for this video. You rock.

Just changed a couple of windows on my house. I had a rough idea what would be required but this video gave me the confidence that I was doing it right! Excellent video, thanks!

One of the best reasons that i Like your videos; is that they are real life situations and idea practices involved to solve them. Thank fan keep doing what your doing

[lorriescott]

I just wanted to let you know that I have watched, liked, and learned so much from your videos. The way that you narrate while you work is so very helpful and I as a newbie at home improvement really appreciate it and you.

[stishm]

Great comments and instruction tips. I appreciate that he shows the entire video of working around the window and not cutting it out. Thanks for the education!

Your a good man, I appreciate the way you slowly and meticulously explain from beginning to end, the how to..not getting all excited, just showing how it's done. Very professional and much needed. Thank you

By far this is the most comprehensive and user friendly DIY channel in my list. Thank you  for the no BS all good info channel! I have done home reno in the past and am getting ready to take on another project. I use this channel to update my knowledge.

[timothymartin]

Thanks Tom. The master carpenter is so important when teaching. It is so heartening to see an apprenticeship program in action and know they will carry on this knowledge, skills and tricks of the trade from a solid teacher.

This level of detail you guys show is AWESOME. I'd even buy a dvd if it had videos with this kind of quality!

I am in San Francisco. We get some rain here. Most people seem to let their maintenance slide and thats when the problems start.

Thanks for the great videos! Keep them coming.

[wildoffroad]

Thanks Shannon! Your video's are the best I have come across for a few projects now. Thanks for being a great guy and sharing you wisdom with us!

This probably one of the most underrated home improvement channel...

These windows i'm using are called a renovator window but could be used in new construction as well. They have a brick mould around the outside instead of a nailing flange. This way I do not need to cover the nailing flange with some kind of trim. I think most retrofits have the nailing flange.
