Little 'ole house

[WarnerConstCo.]

All new Marvin windows, dense packed fiberglass wall insulation, Hardie siding, Miratec trim, garage door, fascia, soffets, lighting in soffets, seemless gutters.

Next year I will re-do the front porch with some stamped concrete and add a big deck out back.

Darcy,

Not mine.  It is a customers.

My house will never look that good, I am a carpenter for god's sakes, I just patch stuff together at home!! [big grin]

I put a new roof on it last fall and sanded and re-finished the red oak floors this past winter.
This winter I will be doing all the window casing on the insides.

I put new construction window units in.  Took about 3 hours per unit to flash and install.

Darcy,

I thought that I had remembered that you had a much older home - but you could have moved!

Darcy,

You are correct.  I have an old farm house built in the late 1890's.

Nice work.
That will cut down on the utility bills.

 

[WarnerConstCo.]

Thanks Chris!!

It should, he used 200 gallons of fuel oil last winter.  I hope he is only going to use maybe 50 this winter.  1100 sq/ft house.
With no AC and the windows closed, it stays about 76 degrees inside now.

I forgot to mention some techniques I used, uh....

Kapex for all exterior trim, mitered corners joined with pocket screws and some adhesive caulk in the joint.
Installed window trim in one piece.

I hate cutting Hardie Plank, I need to get a guillotine to cut it.

The window install pictures are from when he thought he would save the redwood siding, once I found it didn't have insulation, he decided to tear it off and keep on putting Hardie up.  The garage and breeze-way just had aluminum on it.

Nice clean install Warner. But I have a question on your flashing detail. Why did you put felt strips over your peel and stick (protecto-wrap) tape?

I really like the Marvin's.

County Road 11-A?  I drive on that road nearly every week.  It goes right by the former Kruse auction park (now RM Auctions) and takes me close to my parents house in Huntertown.

I slid that felt behind the siding and over the protecto wrap.

If that siding was not there, I would have installed the windows just like I did, then I would felt the whole house.

That layer of felt is the water shed behind the siding.

I also hate cutting the Hardie Plank & other fiber cement sidings & underlayment.
The dust is awful with a power saw. I started using a jig saw with a carbide abrasive blade.
It cuts very well with very little dust flying in the air.

 

[WarnerConstCo.]

I will have to try that.

I cut all my tile underlayment with scissors or a utility knife now, yeah Ditra. [big grin]

Hey Warner, do you ever instal a wooden sill under the window ,or just picture frame it around with trim, oh by the way are you familar with oak tree woodworking supply in huntertown.

Depends on the window or the house.

I put a piece of beveled siding on the window sill framing of the house before I water proofed, that way any water that could get in rolls off the framing instead of sitting on it.  Marvin's have a nice angled sill built into them so that lets me do whatever I want or the home owner wants for trim around the windows.

I buy my Tenryu Saw blades from the Oak Tree in huntertown, along with a few other things they carry that I like to use.
