As a craftsmen, I’ve heard no one speak the way Brent Hull does and he knows exactly what he’s talking about. I take pleasure in learning from him
Good point , Mr. Hull. I restored all the double hung windows in our vintage home. I’ve also experienced the canned sales pitch too many times on replacement vinal windows. NEVER!
Great video! I lived in Dallas in the late 80’s-early 90’s. I remember those neighborhoods in the north Dallas area, all the houses were similar and I would call it, “a sea of roofs,” I also remember driving through Highland Park and I loved those old homes, it makes me sad that they have torn some of them down.
I was a litigation paralegal. We had a case where a building was so air tight that if you put a nail hole on the outside of the house, it would suck water into the space between the siding and the insulation causing mold and rot. I agree. Houses need to breathe.
Can you link the insulation and window videos mentioned around the 7-minute mark?
