scott brown here in today's exciting episode we put a window in this hole on the side of
the house freshly painted facing as well you can see my little groove that i made and all its glory
you know whatever okay so that's the
night here in
looks like we've got some room to play that's what you want while we wait for this scaffold
to arrive set up the router again with this triangle piece because we want the
new windows to replicate the old windows and have that little scalp out of there
they do they do these um torque things often tell you what powder is a lot taller from this side
here we are up on the scaffold temporary scaffold we're in the neighbor's driveway so we want to
minimize the amount of time that the scaffold is here pardo has put that multi-cut there
another one over here cut some weather balls out
where is it
yeah sucks it i can't change the dip a bit of a monster yeah
the depth adjustment here is broken so i can't change it so we're like no what's the
difference i'm just saying 80 ml or something yeah 85 yeah a little bit overkill for this
what do you think you know through a karate kick was that is that too ruthless
it's probably a bit too ruthless yeah a little bit a little bit amateur oh
it'd be good to have the camera on the inside maybe yeah okay i'll take this one inside yeah
got a crafty little idea there's so many different levels here the bottom is on an angle the side is
in and out you know there's room on the side here for a weight to go down it's difficult to measure
it and get it exactly right so i'm going to make a little template you're going to hold it flush
so we put a laser line there's a pencil mark there you probably can't see it
but the same pencil mark is here
yeah the marks are lining up yeah
so the head flashing above this window goes in here against the wall
so because it goes against the wall we need the weatherboard out of its way
you probably can't hear what i'm saying with this wind
performing a new year miracle wow trying to feed it in behind the weather boards here
very sticky stuff so as soon as you touch anything with it
it's sort of doomed so there we go this is what is called a silt track
made of steel and it catches any moisture that escapes past the window okay
even the best missed the nails
all right so tray in camera on window ready pedo
excited
okay there you go bro
hashtag epic look there's a window
all right yesterday we got that window in still needs to be straightened up a bit
but uh the way the sun goes today really hot on this side and it works its way around to
that window so we're trying to get the head flashings on this side ready and then we'll
go around there straighten the window up and put one of these head flashings above it
so these need to be on for the inspection that we have tomorrow so
so i get a lot of questions about how we do our windows here because when we chucked that
big window in for example it wasn't complete there's gaps around the sides gaps above the top
so if you watch to the end of this episode i'll show you exactly how it's all closed then
on this side we're going to put the head flashings above it that's what needs to be inspected
but the window that we just put in around the side that has to be done to completion because
the scaffold is coming down it's in the neighbor's driveway we don't want to leave it there forever
so we'll get the scribers on there the head flashing everything
so you can see exactly how it's done here in new zealand
so that's the little upstand that we create and we put a bit of silicon in this corner and uh
that stops the water going into the cladding so as with the rest of our renovation we take cues from
what is currently on the house so there's timber above and then they've got this sheet metal
wrapped around it our metal is just like kind of like a steel or thicker steel so we don't wrap
around in the same way but it goes above the timber and over this was a new build and the
windows were aluminium or something we wouldn't have the timber timber is only to make a match
so
gonna be right looks pretty good yeah that'll work
sweet
all right so we've got the old window on the side there but this morning we're having the
head flashings inspected there's two kind of wrap inspections the first one is they want to look at
all the paper and make sure you've taped up all the window openings and we've had that inspection
we've got the weather boards up to the top of the windows and now they return to look at the
head flashings they need to see it before you put weatherboards over it so that's this morning and
then we can finish that window off after that's passed and we can also uh carry on cladding
hey potter what was the result of the inspection failed nah of course though
you never doubted it right yeah of course not
so that's how we do it here we have the weather boards go in and then the window facing goes over
and then we finish it off with a scriber like this and i'll uh i'll pop this on and then i'll
these conditions are terrible
so yeah that's how we do windows here in new zealand might be different where you are
i've heard that some people put the window in first they put the cladding to the side of the
window and then you don't have to do that scriber thing that we do we've always done it this way
with the scriber after the cladding the window overlaps the cladding
and that scrubber finishes things off so let me know in the comments below how you guys do it um
always keen to learn the different ways of building around the world it's always very
interesting thanks for watching this exciting episode catch you guys in the next one
there we go primed this whole wall is getting painted
let's get the scaffold out of the way the neighbors see in the next one
