    I am a 78 year old woman who is pretty handy, but I thought installing a storm door might be beyond me. I called some handypeople, and the price was outside my pension limit! So, I watched your video, and you made everything so clear that I was no longer intimidated. And in about 1 1/2 hours the job was done! THANK YOU!

    i'm really glad you didn't edit out the part of installing the closer that didn't quite go right the first time... it's helpful to know what could go wrong, and anticipate for it if we're trying to install a door closer for the first time. thanks, Shannon!

    I just purchased the same door and will be installing it tomorrow. Always nice to be able to view a video of it versus going by the instructions only. Thanks for keeping it real, you made me realize that I should open the door 90° to mark the spot for the closure hinge. Great job on both, the door and the video. I am now subscribed!

    Excellent video. I appreciate you showing the little hiccups that come along with a TRUE installation. Not everyone does that on here, and in my opinion hiding the mistakes or miss read instructions only makes things more confusing for the person when it comes time to them actually doing the install. You show the REALITY of things that happen in real life, so my hats 🧢 off to you sir. May I ad that your videos are so well done for that reason alone. A big thank you for all the instructional videos you put out.

I’m still not gonna tackle it myself but now I’ll know what my installer is doing and talking about. Kinda creepy that I was searching for doors on Menards online and suddenly your install video came up in my YT feed. And you’re excused for not having your safety glasses at first. I don’t know of any home DIY or handymen that would wear them for minimal power tool usage like this. Thanks again and keep up the vids.

    I don't even use a drill bit anymore to start a hole in the wood to keep the wood from splitting. Since manufacturers came out with the "self drilling screws" which is one of the coolest modification in a long time when it comes to fasteners, all I do is tape one self drilling screw to my 18 volt drill and I have been using the same screw for years now, and the piece of tape I use to tape that screw to the drill is Gorilla Tape.
