This is the kind of guy you want to apprentice under. Just explains it as it comes to him, has endless knowledge and does an awesome job delivering it.

As carpenter of 45 years I would say this is one of the best ways to do it. Very good for the novice to watch!!!

Shannon, it's the 83 yr.old, carpenter wannabe, from southern On. I persevered with the window cap and now we're doing the windows properly. My son is just like his mother, easily convince differently. Following all your instructions and things are going well. The bunky is looking up. Thanks again. Wyman

I was amazed that at 7:25 he addressed how he attached the pvc to the trim board. Amazed because just a mere few seconds earlier, I was a bit disappointed that he did not demonstrate how he connected those pieces together. Then he indeed did just that. His videos are helpful because they are mostly aimed at the diyer trying to learn and do for himself. I am definitely considering siding my brick ranch by myself, because of his simple yet detailed instructive approach. Only I am looking at Everlast composite siding Thanks much

This is one of the best channels I’ve found and has helped immensely in finishing my first house . This is exactly what I needed when aluminum trim was damaged removing siding to repair rot section.

Im in this situation now. I don't waste time searching other videos for the answers.. I just come straight to Houseimprovements and get the answer first time everytime! Thank You Shannon and your crew!

Thank you for all of your videos.
In the past few years they've been invaluable in my home reno.

Love your videos because  they give all the details that leave no room for guessing.It helps you to do things more by yourself than having to get help. I loved the video where you showed how to install a garage door . I did it alone and I was very impressed. Never had any problems. I watched a video and the small details were left out but yous was excellent because it never left any room for guessing. I always look for videos when I go to do something .

Thanks for sharing your experience Shannon. It's a godsend to us DIY "home owners" on an
interest deductible loan.

Thank you for this video, as I wouldn’t have thought to extend my window frames and door edges with PVC. This makes installing siding J channel so much easier! I still hate my wife for getting me to install siding though 😒

This guy really demystifies so many aspects of home building. I love his Build a Deck series!

Also, tooken at 3:49 lol :p

[andrewcarr]

we are working on a similar situation, covering an existing exterior wall, possibly with additional insulation material to meet Building codes, and I was wondering how best to finish up the window trim. Thanks Shannon for doing all the thinking for me :-)

[alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

This is great. We installed new entrance doors last summer. Windows to follow and thinking of new siding too. I knew we could build out the windows so we can add some foam but wondered about the doors. This probably would work.

Love watching your videos when I have projects around the house yo do. Keep up the great work. Its greatly appreciated!

[wagontrack]
