​@bob707builder8 already looks hard, and they picked a ground level window on a brand new looking house.

The most critical part of this installation is the weep holes and the peel and stick sealant because there are no windows that are completely water tight even when new. So, if any water gets onto the top of the seal it will run down because the window seal is slanted downward and out the weep holes. If these are not installed water cannot get out and will rot the seal away. Good video and glad it shows that important step.

I just want to say watching this video and seeing the same collective human reaction that I experienced in these comments just made my night. Thank you Lowe’s.

Do you spray foam in the bottom too? There are weep holes, so I don't know if the bottom should be insulated too or the weep holes are enough, even when there is insulation/sprayed foam.

@@mylifeisamememylifeispathe3140 looks great. Time will tell if it leaks, i guess. My tips are to measure measure measure. If you're doing slide in replacements, make sure your sills and frame are in good shape. If you have room around your siding to do so, new construction replacements are usually better than slide in. I had to build a whole sill, frame and new brick mold to keep a similar style to my other windows and because of the double layer of exterior on my house but will probably eventually replace all of my windows for new construction when I redo my exterior cladding. Otherwise, it's pretty rudimentary

DO NOT DRILL HOLES IN YOUR NEW WINDOW ADAPTER. You destroy the R rating of the window. Cold and heat enter through the holes. The windows I bought from Lowe's had weep slots built in above the sill allowing it to drain with out getting under the window.

I saw Window World do it on my house. It wasn't that involved.

Weep holes are drilled into the sill attachment so that water can get seep through. If the window doesn't have weep holes, any water that gets behind will collect there and eat away at the sealant and eventually make its way down behind the siding.

That wood window just needed some maintenance and will last forever. Once you switch to replacement windows you’ll be replacing them forever. And they look bad.

“Check the manufacturer’s directions”...... It’s “Instructions”. directions are if you want to go somewhere.

While replacing a window I fell out and died. Would not buy again.
