Anytime I do a search for DIY project and spot the bald head and blue shirt in the thumbnail, that's always my first, and usually my last click. Thanks as always!!!

When we lived in Florida, we always preferred the storm doors with a sliding window that had a screen in it. The 3 months a year that the weather is nice, it's nice to be able to open it up to allow the cool air to come in. The solid glass doors act more like a greenhouse and will heat up the entrance. It is a nice door, though. You're right about the ones made for mobile homes as they are ugly and cheap looking. A lot of people just install a traditional door and frame made for a house. This makes it easier to install storm doors and is also more secure than a flimsy mobile home door. It also looks a lot better.

Perfect timing! Just started evaluating 2 doors on my 1900 home. One to get a storm door and one to be replaced. 4 doors on the house and not one is the same. The video helps with some of the material needed. Thank you!

The definition of "good enough for this house" lol. I gotta say...I do love jeffs videos though.

Do you have a video on replacing a garden tub window with a smaller window on a brick house to turn it into a big shower???

If you can find one of those lowes special returned/reduced is good, I paid $50 each, there about 300-400.

Thanks for the tips! Small suggestion: videos are totally fine (and for me better) without the music! Nothing like the sound of work getting done!

I'd like to see a troubleshooting video for this type of job. I think I can handle installing a new storm door, but the "what ifs" are stopping me since I'll have no clue what to do if it isn't level, plumb, doesn't close, or any number of things that can go wrong. I'm in a 1985 condo complex which has a good amount of settling and because the storm door has been off for a while, I think they're may be water damage or swelling of the actual frame in places. If I go to put the storm door in and get stumped in the middle of the install, it'll be a nightmare. Thanks for the video!

reminds me the wind caught my storm door last year wrecked it , i miss having a screen door

Yeah that was the main reason I stayed away from mobile homes when looking to purchase my home. I have rented and worked on them in the past. Mostly everything is special order cause they use different measurements on stuff. I like to just go to a big box store and pick up a replacement and just install. 😂 I was really pissed when I had to special orser a basement door in my home as well. Instead of piping the plumbing a different way they stuck it right in front of the door so my basement door is not a off the shelf door. I wish everything was just same sizes all the way around with things.

Finger near blade as a guide, no fing way Jeff.

I'll be installing a screen door to my enclosed porch today. Only I have to build the door itself custom, and build out the entryway because the measurements for the entry/exit are non-traditional. The construction for the porch is shockingly bad because the builder decided to use the 4x4 deck supports as part of the framing for the walls, windows, and door. As a result literally nothing is consistent, and all the measurements are off. If it were up to me I'd rip it all down, and do it properly, but we don't have the cash to do it so we have to live with what we have for now.

I can commiserate with you. I live in a cinderblock house that was built my guess the main house, in the 1910's? And then at some point, I'd say the late 30s or 40's they added on to the house using the next generation of cinderblock. All the windows and doors on one end of the house are uniform. The newer addition match themselves. But both do not match in construction techniques. The older end, all the walls are uniform from the footer to the roof line. The newer addition the block is not. Its two different block widths. Wider at the bottom, narrower at the top. Mortar lines as similar but not exact between the two. Its a challenge to find doors that will work in openings that not only differ in width, but height as well. The windows are uniform because I just found the largest window size that would work in the vertical windows, and the same with the sliders at the other end of the house. The floors have all been set/sagged at different heights thus most the doorways from room to room are different heights. Slowly changing out things as I can afford, and hopefully get the same plane for the floors. Interestingly they decided that the maximum ceiling height would be 7' 4", making other things a challenge. Its definitely not standard construction by any sense of the word. But I too have a pay as you go, so one small victory at a time...

@@denisegaylord382 Wow, that sounds like a complete pain. I thought I had it bad, lol. I think for mine it's the roof for the porch is the worst. Not one single joist hanger was used. Instead he decided to set the 2x6s on top of the 2x8 structural beam because he either didn't know how to add the soffits, or was too lazy to put in the work to do it right. Then instead of placing full 2x4 studs above the 2x6s for extra support for the roof, he made jack studs then sandwiched the 2x6s with 1/2" plywood "for strength", but it actually does nothing but add weight to the roof, lol. According to our neighbors his method for construction was based on how many beers he had to drink, which explains a lot, lol.

@@demontekdigital1704 oh I know that joy too. When they built this place, they didn't have joist hangers, insulation, vapor/ wind barriers, or any of the modern products that we do today. They essentially slapped a 2 by 6 rim joist around every room, and hung the 2 by 6 floor joists off it. Everything was built with green oak lumber off the farm. True 2 x 4s though. I don't even have bird's mouths on the roof rafters. They just stuck the rafters up, threw a crosstie about a foot down from the peak, and everything it toe nailed together. Floor joists, rafters, Everything. When they were in doubt, they threw another nail in it, or beside it to keep from twisting. The lumber is now so dried out now that you can't drive a nail into them. There is barely any overhang on the roof, and no soffits what so ever. They cut 1 by 4' and tucked them between the rafters and side of the house. Some places they cover the gap others, not so much. Oh and the rafter spacing varies wildly between them. 14 inches, 18 inches, 32 inches, yeah whatever looked good... Same with the floor joists. I tried to put bridging between the floor joists in the kitchen and bath, I can't drive the nails into the joists. I thought, OK, I'll try screwing them in, nope my drill driver won't do it either. I gave up and stuck new 2 x 6 beams on adjustable posts under all the joists of those floors to get the floors to quit flexing. At least for the moment they aren't a trampoline anymore, lol. I figure when I get there, I am just going to have to gut it all and redo the rim joists and floor joists if I ever want to put tile down in the wet areas. Right now there are too many ripples in the floor that even linoleum or vinyl won't stay flat to it. Oh the joys.... I may complain a bit about what she needs, but I can't complain too much. I am grateful for what I do have, and slowly gleaning enough information and know how on how to fix it. Jeff, his advice, and how too's have been a God send. My last house was built by a contractor, but we used to kid, he was a better plumber, 😉 I found a beautiful 3 foot rosewood level in a wall of that house. I still use it. 😊 so I can understand the number of beers quotient...I live in the rural south where "hang on to my beer and watch this y'all" isn't just a phrase. Lord help us, 🤣🤣🤣

@@denisegaylord382 Holy poop you're in a pickle. The room I'm describing is an outside, enclosed porch, and nothing structural on the interior. That means if we wanted to we could totally neglect it, like the last "tenants" did. I call them that because they treated this home like a rental, rather than their home. Our issues are mainly cosmetic, with the occasional badly taped corner in the dining room (which I suspect someone else did after the fact). Ours was built in 1980, and is still in good shape other than coming up on needing a new plumbing package. We're slowly getting there though. I just replaced the closet doors trim, did a piss-poor drywall patch job, (Jeff would be disgusted, but I tried), lol. I've done some light fixture replacements, replaced the faucet P-trap assembly in the hall bath, replaced the toilet fill assembly, and seat, painted most of the house, and even managed to replace the fan assembly for the stove vent hood. The goal we're working on currently is replacing the porch screens with pet screen, adding a door, getting an inexpensive grill, and a bug zapper for entertainment, lol. We also live in the South. We live in a small town in Georgia so bug prevention is a must. Off is my best friend, lol. I hope you get all your stuff done so you can enjoy your home more than you already do. So many people give up, and tap out when it comes to stuff like what you're dealing with. Like I always tell my wife, "I have caviar dreams on a tuna fish budget." LOL
