Hello archdynamics, thank you for the compliments.
My son and I are getting better with this show and tell stuff. He has a much better camera and I also use a mike now. (For about the last 100 videos anyways) and since some folks yell at us online about leaving things out we are becoming more aware of what to add in.
Best wishes, and thanks for watching.

Do they use a lot of Andersen, Marvin, and Pella windows in Florida? I just see aluminum single hungs everywhere when I visit
Howdy whelen, I’m not sure about Florida, but here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the majority is the three you mentioned are installed. I live in the Bay Area.
Thanks for watching and have a great Memorial Day weekend.

I'm a huge fan of Andersen
Good morning whelenvortexr, no doubt, Anderson widows are top of the line.
I have had my share of repairing around many of these as well.
We usually water proof all windows with a similar method.
Have a great day!

I like the Pella Double Hungs better than Marvin's. I hate vinyl windows
Howdy whelenvortexr, how come? Whats wrong in your opinion with vinyl clad windows?
Best wishes and have a great rest of your day!

They're cheap and they're ugly and they're hard to open, especially the top sash, which I open regardless.
Howdy whelenvortex , A fella like me who is simply an applicator of stucco would not know of details like this, so it’s always good to hear from the window installing experts.
Are there more folks with opinions like this out there? If so please reply as I’m now curious.
Best wishes and have a great day!

I saw this website that had shirts that said stop vinyl windows and siding
Good morning Ben, I didn’t actually buy or install the windows. The GC did, I am shown here flashing the windows the way Mavin recommends.
I am just the stucco applicator.
Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Hey Kirk,
I have some newly installed marvin windows I framed in a 2" recessed condition. There is only a 1.5" gap between the side of the window and the return for the recess. This 1.5" gap is filled by the nailing fin. My question is: when I lath, how am I supposed to staple in this 1.5" gap? I'm assuming it's never a good idea to staple the lath into the nailing fin, right?
@Gil Esquivel Hello gil, with an inset window I would use a flex wrap by tyvek prior to installing the window,
If the window flange has holes, screw in those to attach.
I just install the paper, wire and stucco, I don't install these windows, sorry.
If the window is set in place you can simply bend the wire without stapling , this does take a bit of practice.
Best wishes,

hi Kirk,do you recommend gypsum plaster for plastering the windows?or ordinary core plaster?
Howdy Dast Dude, gypsum is for interior use only, go to Home depot purchase a bag of rapid Set, you just add water, then apply, this is an exterior cement plaster.
In English "plaster" usually means a material used for the interiors of buildings, while "render" commonly refers to external applications.

Sharing plastering information, as the world can use more teachers.
Go to woodprix if you'd like to build it yourself.
Hi Kirk. Love your videos. Just wondering, all those nails you drive trough the waterproofing around the window can´t water pass through and damage the wall?
