 Good morning everybody did you miss me don't answer that so this is our house right now if you watched yesterday's video you saw this last night we are installing a sliding patio door there it's gonna go along the side of the frame here so we're gonna leave those there and it's gonna be a little bit wider we've got to extend it a little further that way so I'm gonna take off the drywall all the way up to that window there so it's easier to get a clean cut and rather than having like this whole line all the way down here to have to putty and everything do it right to the window that was made a little easier for us I think plus we have to take these slats off because this house was built like a rock like a Chevy and it was built the last obviously a very very long time ago this is a pre-war house I believe this was built before both wars both of the big ones had many since then already haven't we should clarify before the world wars and we got to take these slots off widen this put a new header up there reframe it pull the window out put the door in level it secure it then close it all back up and then we've put some steps out there yet set it's not such a drop to the ground so it should be fun this is what we're doing today dad is on his way here he should be here any second you would be going nuts if he was here already that's how I didn't know he had gotten here yet but he's probably about two minutes away and my buddy Rick he's coming later to help us with some of this heavy lifting after he's done work and I'll see if we can install us a door today how about it and like I was telling you yesterday I want to this is a learning experience for me my dad used to be a framer so he knows what he's doing he he's done this kind of thing many kinds before and it's a learning experience for me I want to learn how to put this door in here so that when we do the same thing with the window in our master bedroom to put a sliding door out the front I sort of know what I'm doing I'll probably still get his help but at least I'll know how to do it myself one day I can pass on that skill and that knowledge to someone else so we just made a pretty good discovery here absolutely we don't have to put in a new header here and the other door will only reach up to here this head is already plenty long enough so we just got to cut this off and then fill it behind there so we have something to screw the jam in so this this isn't the original window you see how the header starts there and then it goes all the way there past this window this was put in afterwards and reframed we only needed to go up to here and there's another header there for some reason yeah they've been either window or a door here before you put all of this on there can't see exactly how far the head is going in there but it's just helped us along a huge deal don't have to rip it out huh well if we would have known there was a header in the middle it would have been pretty easy to put the door in the middle exactly if you want you might be able to yeah we'd have to ask the wife about that one and we have to see how far that header actually goes on top of there we should get this broken one off here yeah and see where the header starts it yeah cuz if it's big enough for the door you can still easily put the door it's already framed in the middle if it's big enough here we gotta have 60 inches we'll get back to you it's probably not big enough that header looks a lot smaller yeah because this header is gonna be just barely big enough there's a couple inches too long yeah see this that two before it was inch and a half here so it would have to reach past that and there it's definitely there's definitely no more header back there it probably goes right to this edge here yeah probably 55 inches or so or 50 inch yeah okay so that's too small anyway but we know that there's a header there for some reason there wasn't one point something there yeah that's right just goes right through yeah that's fine this was the original plan anyway so alright okay let's get going on that see you guys all later every once in a while I show up in this trucker Josh log he gets recognized more than I do on the road I'm the old odd guy my sister he was helping my sister the other day and he had his truck parked in her driveway and her neighbor recognized his truck from my videos and went and asked yeah the pickup truck not even the same as a pickup truck yeah and went and asked my sister if she was trucker Josh's sister cuz they recognize trucker Josh's dad's pickup in her driveway famous guy working on widening the hole here on the outside so we have aluminum siding on the outside of this house it's a little tough to cut through so pursue it as long as the cut is at the right place and then we're okay but if not we measured it over and over again to make sure that it didn't go too wide too too small is okay you can always cut it a little bit more but can't cut it shorter yeah you can't take back a cut and there we go you can see the old opening and this is how big the new opening will be this window was exactly the same as that window over there so there was two equal windows in the back here but now at least we'll have a door we can get out our back because there's no back door here yeah we want to get into the backyard this is where we want to let our dogs out we want to stop letting our dogs out onto the front yard then they go and do their business in the front yard and guests come over and doesn't look so great or smells so great either we've got my buddy Rick here to help us now so I can do even less work someone's gonna hold the camera so we're just putting the door in we're doing the final stages here just putting finishing that up just about gonna set you guys down here always noisy noisy guy over there and set you guys down here and then go do my part well boys the next morning is here and looks like everything sealed up just nicely this foam weather sealant cut all that off and next time I'm home or someone on the line will start redry walling everything here and tomorrow dad will be here to do the stairs so it was a lot of fun dad did a lot of it very thankful for that so big thanks to my dad for all the work he did here thanks to my buddy Rick for showing up to help us as well feels good to finally get that done well it's not actually done there's a lot of work to do yet let's not get ourselves well big Frank well big Frank you got to learn this whole vlogging thing yet you got to look at the camera there you go hi y'all how you doing I'm Frank what do you think bud what do you think I think you made one heck of a mask man I reckon he's right okay so I'm gonna be cleaning this place up sweeping it up kicking up some dust Britt is at work right now she's gonna be home soon so I gotta have this place cleaned dusted before she gets here because her lungs really don't like all the drywall dust and dust in the air so it took us most of the afternoon took part of the afternoon to get these steps in so now that these steps are in here that's it dad went home job done so I've got to cut off all this here yet around there and yeah for now I better start cleaning she's gonna be home soon and I told her I'd have this place cleaned up by the time she got home look look at that floor look at that what can you tell a trucker mop that can you tell exactly right I'm full of surprises well I had a whole lot more of this but apparently half of my clips were corrupted for some reason it's very disappointing because this is a special day I got to spend a lot of time with my dad and my mom and our friends Rick and Sabrina and their dog banned it and a lot of my footage didn't didn't turn out or it was corrupted or it's not working so it is what it is we got the door installed and like I said before already a big thanks to my dad he did most of the work he knew what he was doing and I sort of assisted him and thanks to Rick for coming out and doing some of the heavy lifting with me and other than that it was a great day and I would really wish my footage would have turned out I'm very disappointed but I'll see you tomorrow tomorrow we hit the road again
